A number OF Penobscot citizens are
having a scarlet fever scare and are keep
ing their children from school. There
seems to be little ground for this scare,
as there is not a case of scarlet fever in the
town. But one case has occurred here
this spring, and that was OF very light
nature. The house occupied by this case
has been thoroughly disinfected with
formaldyhyde gas by the board OF health.
A. Z. Varnum and W. J. Dreamer went
on a fish ng trip to Craig's pond Friday.
Luck was with them. Mr.. Varnum landed
one OF the largest Michigan trout that has
ever been taken from the pond. The Ash
measured thirty inches, and tipped the
scales at the twelve pound mark. MIR.
Narnum has reason to feel proud of this
catch. 1t would do any sportsman good
to have look at SO fine a specimen, and 1t
will be a catch hard TO beat.
Bradford varnum has been complaining
for some time OF losing hens from his
yard. During the last week evidence has
been obtained that the thief Is a bob cat
The cat has visited the yard at night, and
has taken three hens during the last week
Mr.. Narnum shut his hens up one night
and set a trap for the animal. fhe next
morning, after letting the hens out, he
went to the trap expecting to find a good
sized bob cat, but instead found one OF
his be hens struggl ng with a broken
leg. He has not given up trapping for the
cat, however.
This community has been somewh hat
stir ed up for the last three weeks over q
case of tuberculosis in a cow owned by
c. o Hutchins. The municipal officers
instructed the board OF health to investi-
gate the case. They found the suspicion
strong enough TO warrant a case OF tuber-
culosis, and at once notified the cattle
commissioners. For some reason un-
known, the commissioners did not act
until Thursday hen c. F. Dwinal, ID V.
S came from Bangor and at once pro-
nounced the case tuberculosis, lie or.

Prayer was offered by Rev. w. h. Rice,

A New Move.

we nave about concluded to go
to farming; it may be late, but
better late than never. We have
reached this very sensible conclu-
sion by making late investigations
in the art of farming. On last
Sunday afternoon, it being a very
pleasant day, we concluded to take
a drive into the country, and on
putting our conclusion into prac-
tlcal operation we drove south
some miles, observing the grow
ing crop of corn which we found
to be ripening rapidly, owing no
doubt to the extreme hot weather
of the past four weeks; and in a
number of fields the late storm in
jured the crops by blowing down,
and breaking off of some of the
stalks, which will, no doubt, less
en- the yield, but on the whole the
crop will be an average yield, so
far as the corn crop is concerned.
From the number and size of
the straw stacks we conclude that
a large portion Of the small grain
has already been threshed. and its
actual quality and quantity has
been determined by measurment.
After driving for some time,
passing through or by the new
town of Roden, we came to the
Lahman farm, SO nicely tended by
j. A. Sales and sons. Here we
spent a pleasant hour inspecting
their melons, which we found to
be very good indeed, and after we
finished the examination, we ac-
cepted asupply for home consump-
ton, for which friend Sales has
our thanks.
When we inspected the horses,
fat cattle and hogs, tlocks of ducks
chickens, and TURKEYS, and nothing
for the farmer to do but eat and
grow fat, we have concluded that
farming pays. OF all the people,
the lords of the soil should be the
most happy. With everything for
the table, full graineries, orchards
loaded with luscious fruit, the
barn yards full of fowls, fresh eggs
for the table, rich milk and fresh
butter, and nothing to do but to
eat, drink and be merry and grow
fat-who would not like to be a
farmer?
If any man has a good farm to
rent on easy terms, with good,
trusty man to tend it, (marriel
man preferred, they will do we'll
to call soon it they wish good

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-

Or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney troubleis allowed to adj
vance the kidney-p poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen

Genuine Surprise.

Last Saturday, September LIST, having
marked another limestone along the
pathway uI lhe life ut MIS- q Green,
the members vi the CHRISTIAN church
choir, of winch Mrs Green has been
cholrlster and leader dulng the past
eight months, decided upon g,vlng her
SURPRISE party ln honor vi The event.
AT the usual lllne Tor choir rehearsal
Mrs Green very unsuspectingly wendell
her Way to the church aud found ev.
cry member present; To them She caus-
ally contided the tact of this being her
natal day, everyone displayed the
proper amount of interest and surprise
AS II the information was entirely new
After the usual routine work two of
the members of the body requested
Mrs Green to remain while they would
do little extra work. Mrs Green
graciously complied. About twenty
minutes later when she reached her
home she was dumbfounded to find
during her absence her home had taken
upon itself festal appearance, being
beautifully decorated with golden rod
aud as'er, this being done by Mrs Eva
Stowe and Miss Emma Green, who had
teen let into the secret early in the
day, and awaiting her arrival was the
entire choir, eleven in number. The
surprise was so genuine that it gave
an added zest to the evenings enjoy
ment and very merry time was had
until the clock warned all that a new
day was ushered in.
About eleven O'clock the self invited
guests repaired to the dining room and
were served light refreshments, Mrs
Mattox, Miss Mabel Heath and Miss
Green serving The dining table was
made very beautiful with large clus-
tiers of crimson geranlums surrounded
with dark, glossy leaves.
Mrs Green was presented with an
elegantly bound volume of Longfel
lioH poems, Mr. Eckels making the
pretty, little presentation speech in
which Mrs Green was assured of the
appreciation of her hard work and eff
forts in behalf of the choir. Then
ended another of those little affairs
that have so much to do with render
ing the social life of our town so de-
.lightful and attractive.
