Free Delivery No. l, a change in nearly all
the star route carriers, with free delivery
by them, and the change in the IslesborO
mail from the Silver Star to Capt. Fred
Coombs' boat, the Guinevere. The fami-
lies living on the new free delivery route are
taking advantage of its benefits quite gen
orally, and nearly all are preparing to put
up boxes The same is true Of those who
live on or near the star routes, and the car
riers lind the people anxious for the change.
The methods, appliances and other particu-
lars of the business were given in The
journal June 18th. The ISlesborO mail is
to be carried by steamer Guinevere, but as
she is not yet ready for business the mail is
brought from the island to Northport and
thence by team to Belfast. The steamer
will be ready ina few days. The mail leaves
North Islesboro at s A. NJ. and P Nj, ar
irving in Belfast at $50 A. NJ and 2. 80 p. NJ.
leaves Belfast post Office at $40 p. Nj, and
2.45 p. NJ and arrive in Islesboro at 1l.30

Waldo Pomona | extend to you my sincere
thanks for your kind and cordial welcome.
When l see so many here with faces
beaming with true and determined patri-
Otism, | cannot but feel glad that am pa
trOn. Although there are a great many
strange faces here, it is pleasure to feel
they are not strangers, but brothers and
sisters of one fraternity. And as we meet
month after month and exchange these cor
dial greetings, we are growing more and
more united in that fraternal love, and
when we separate feel better acquainted
and benefited by coming !.
The meetings of Pomona Grange are al
ways enthusiastic, interesting and instruc-
tive, and feel sure when we return home
tonight, we will feel repaid for coming
here, and have an increased interest in the
noble order.
Now, brothers and sisters, once again |
thank you in behalf of Waldo Pomona for
your hearty welcome.

A Letter from Miss Littlefeld.

Miss Efie M. Littlefeld of Winterport
was unable to attend the recent Waldo
County W. c. T. U. Convention, but wrote
as follows concerning the Y. work:
DEAR Co-woRKERs: To each and all
send loving greetings at this time. and wish
with all my heart that l might meet with
you at County Convention. 1t is impossible
to tell of all the work accomplished by our
Waldo county Y.'s during the past year.
Our work, is much the same as your labors
in the W. C. T. e., for we are your daugh-
ters, and the Y. is training school for the
work of the W. C. T. U. While the work
is not all recorded here, we know it is all
recorded above
We have organized Y. Branch at Elling-
woods Corner since our last convention,
and the two Y. unions in our county, those
of Lincolnville and Winterport, are doing
excellent work. The Lincolnville Y. has
but seven members at present, as many
have moved away. They held two public
meetings and fifteen regular meetings the
past year, sent three dollars to the State
organizing fund, and were represented by
their secretary at the State convention.
The Winterport Y. held 36 regular meet
ings during the year just past, besides
numerous jubilee, business and committee
meetings. Our Winterport workers are re-
joicing in membership Of 40 active and 5
honorary members. They sent delegate
to the State convention, paying her ex-
penses, with the aid of the W. c. T. u.
Their fifteen departments of work are well
carried on, and systematic study along
white ribbon lines has proved successful.
Mrs. Nellie G. Burgers earnest, inspiring
addresses meant more to our Winterport
young people than anything since our Or
ganization. May we not push the Y. work
more vigorously this year? Only as we
have recruits can we hope for large results
in the future. May God help us to encour-
age all young people to don the white rib
bon, to learn as Frances Willard taught,
''the joy Of life is doing good according to
plan" With all best wishes for success,
