Concerning Local Industries.

Sherman & Co. are building an addition to
their lower leather-board mill, to give ad-
ditional room for machinery, office, ETC.
The firm has three mills running on full time.
The Belfast Machine & Foundry Co. is

The Rockland- -Rockport Lime Company
have closed a contract to furnish 1OO,O
barrels of lime, delivered to point in Mas
sachusetts where it is said a barrel of Knox
county lime never was sold before. The
price obtained was an excellent one. This
is continuation of the efforts of the COM
in which they already have been extraodi-
narily successful. The large rail shipments
that the Rockland- -Rockport Lime Co. are
making, and which steadily are on the in
crease, has necesitated the running of extra
trains over the Maine Central Railroad. A
regular lime train is soon to be put into
service, leaving ROckland daily.

Northport First Baptist Church.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: In
looking over the minutes of the Baptist As
s0ciati0n l saw that there is a Baptist
church In Northport, organized in 1a49, and
wondered if this church know that Bap-
tist church existed i'm their town previous to
the one they now have / find in my church
records of the first Baptist church in Paler-
mo this entry: "January /, 1907, received a
request from Northport brethren for assist
ance in organizing a church. Agreeable to
their request we appointed brethren Elder
Nathaniel Robinson and Stephen Marden to
sit with them in council" That church
chose Jonathan Holbrook as deacon, and
had at one time thirty members, It
gradually decreased in membership, having
no stated pastor. Finally, in 1928, it ceased
to be recognized as church organization
and was dropped from the minutes of the
denomination. ALLEN GOODWIN.

THEY BET ON DEATH
Judge KnOwltOn of Liberty Won and He
Will Have $50 Wreath ON His Conn.


Will Have a $40 Wreath ON His Comm.
On the afternoon Of New Years Day,
1901, Judge j. w. KnOwltOn- rode to the
Liberty Post Office for his mail and met
TOlman Young, a veteran of the Civil war,
who had been confined to his house with
dropsy. They fell to conversing about old
times, and discovered that both were born
in 1907, and were in their ninety fourth year.
After some bantering as to what they
were able to do in the line of physical en-
deavOr the Judge remarked that he was still
vigorous and likely to live for some years,
at the same time expressing sorrow that the
aged soldier was so feeble.
"Bet you $40 that I'll outlive you," cried
Young, sand we'll put up the money now,
ty-dollar wreath on his coffin at his funeral
as the result of the wager.'
1t was the last time that Young ever went
outdoors alive. As the winter moved along
he grew worse and his doctor said that death
could be expected at any time. In March,
word to his friend, the Judge, that he was
willing to double the bet, but his condition
was SO hopeless that no attention was paid
to the communication.
Judge Knowlton continued hale and active
until March 10, when he was stricken down
in his yard with paralysis. Not knowing
how serious the affection was, Young again
made Overtures toward bet, but the Judge
was unconscious, and no heed was given to
the defiance
Mr.. Young grew weaker until March II,
when he died. Judge Knowlton cannot sur
yive week. They were the Oldest men in
Waldo County.
Among the soldiers who attended Mr..
Young's funeral was Levi Curtis Of Dixmont
who served through the war in the First
Maine Heavy Artillery, the regiment which
holds the record for the number of men kill
ed and wounded in action. He is SO and is
crippled from wound received at Cold Har-
has during the past st ' Winter ter sawed seven
cords of hard wood with one hand, making
two cuts to a stick, and has performed the
usual chores about his barn, caring for a
herd of cattle and milking four cows.-Bos-

The increase in the number of cream
cries and the application of creamery meth
ods in farm dairy work has brought about
the much desired result of an increase in
all classes of dairy stock but very few
towns, those remote from creameries, show
ing decrease. The following table shows
the number of cows returned by the asses
sors of the various towns in 1895 and 1900,
and the increase in 3, 3 and 1-year-olds is
even great than in the mature stock

Last week The Journal published an
abstract of the report of the State Asses

make one correction. The value of yearl-

decrease in horses, oxen, sheep and swine,
but an increase in cows and young stock, as
compared with years ago. The totals for
the cOuntv are as follows.
