rise after going down the first time. They
have dragged the lake, but as yet TUESDAY
morning) have found no trace of the body.
Mr.. Dority was only 20 and spending his
vacation at the lake, intending to return to
Cambridge, where he was employed in
bank, last Saturday,. We were all very
sorry to have Mr.. E. II. Nickerson and
family return to Portland so soon. They
went last SATURDAY. afternoon. The closed
doors and windows give the house a lone
some look, and we miss the appearance of
the handsome span of blacks and their
genial driver, Mr.. j. r. Moorshed, on our
streets. Although fortune has showered
her favors upon Mr.. n in his business in
Portland, he and his wife are still ed" and
HBelle' to us when they return to the old
home, and we regret that their summer
soiourn is so brief The dance at Cunning
hams Hall last Thursday evening was even
better, if possible, than the former ones.

Dallas were the guests of his mother, Mrs.
r. G.. ROYAL, the first of the week. 49, The
Memorial Concert last Sunday was not so
largely attended as usual, but the floral
