ter died Feb. 9Th at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Dominicus M. Gray Of Unity,
where she has resided and been faithfully
cared for since the death of her husband,

! BURNHAM. The most severe snow storm
known here for long time set in Monday,
Feb 4th, about P NJ. It showed hard all
night and all day Tuesday and Tuesday
night, and someWednesday. Fully IL inches
of snow fell, and the fierce wind which has
been blowing for nearly week kept the
snow piled in huge drifts. The roads in
this section have been about the same as
| impossible since the storm began. An
drew Pease is reported on the sick list 90.
Capt A NJ. Fletcher & Son are working a
large crew in the woods near the Unity
Plantation line. From 20 to 30 cords of logs
are cut daily into pulp, cord wood, and for
other purposes. The work is done by a
portable steam saw, which is moved to diff
ferent points in the woods When the lum-
Der is cut into blocks it is hauled by teams
to the railroad and % Mile Stream.
| STANDPOINT The storm of last week
| blocked the roads so it required several days
shoveling to get them passable. For two
days there was no mail, and the third day
the mail carriers went part of the way on
foot with hand-Sled.. -. Mrs Susan Has
well, who has been at Mr. Samuel Patter-
sons for several months, fell last week and
broke her shoulder and hip. AS she is
nearly so years of age her recovery is doubt
full. Her daughter, Mrs. Abby Clark, was
called from Winterport to care for her,.
Many of the first victims of the grip are
able to be out, but new ones are taken sick
every day. Some whole families are laid up
and have to have help from neighbors...
John Lttlefield visited friends in Penobscot
and Castine last week. Edgar Heath of
Penobscot visited at Henry Heath's the
past week. 49,. There was no Sunday school
or meeting Feb. 10th owing to the bad
travelling. The masked ball was again
postponed to Wednesday eve, Feb. 18TH.
1t was with great effort that the doctors
visited their patients here last week. DR..
Stevens came one day ON snow shoes from
the village.
MORRILL,. The Snowstorm and wind Of
the 5th and 9th inst was the worst with us
for years. The stage from Freedom passed
through here Saturday via. Montville, being
unable to get through the Knox drifts. This
was its first trip since Monday. The storm
has interfered with numbering, but the mills
are now all at work turning out the sawed
lumber. At Merriams, where they have
nearly thousand cords of spool timber,
they have large force at work, and are
running the mill to its utmost capacity.....
Rev. A. F. Hinckley is expected to give an

WINTERPoRT. The funeral services of
Mr.. A. d. Harlow were held at his late home
Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 18th. Rev. f. Penn
Der of Bangor, assisted by Rev J.W. Hatch,
otficiated and the Apollo Quartette fur
nished beautiful music. A large company
of friends and neighbors assembled to pay
their last tribute of affection. The Band
and Post attended in body, members of
the Band acting as bearers. There was
profusion of beautiful flowers from men,
bers of the family, and the Bangor and
Winterport Bands, respectively, contributed
a beautiful floral harp and Tyre. Mr.. Frank
Lord, brother of Mrs. Harlow, came from
Providence, r. l., to attend the funeral. Mrs.
JW Miller,a sister of Mrs. Harlow, received
letter last week from the Oldest brother
of the family, Mr.. James Wyatt Lord, who
left this place many years ago and has not
been heard from for 45 years. Mr.. Lord has
written several times to his sisters, but as he
did not know their married names or resi-
dence the letters failed to reach them. The
letter to Mrs. Miller was addressed to her
maiden name, but fortunately a correct
guess as to the proper owner was made.
Mr.. Lord is now in Oregon and will very
likely come home, as his aged father is still
living at 95....E. S. Fernald, ESQ.,, of Boston
was in town a few days recently. Charles
R. Eaton has arrived from where he has
been serving as musician in the army for
two years. His arrival was quite surprise,

are glad to welcome him home. Miss
Crocker of Boston, who has been visiting
Miss Rose Eaton, left for home by boat Feb.
