The Shoe Factory.

When the assignment of the shoe manu-
1acturlng corporation of Critchett -Slbley
GO. was made known people generally re-
garded it as severe blow TO the city s
business, and as the matter was discussed,
and the full significance of the closing of
the business realized, the fact forced itself
upon all that something must be done to
prevent it, The first definite movement in
this direction was started among the EN-
ployes of the factory yesterday. A circular
letter had been sent to each employe to
be present at a meeting in the factory
at noon and nearly all were present.
Francis ii. Welch called the meeting to
order and asked Mayor Small to state the
object in view. The Mayor briefly stated
the condition of affairs, and the effect
which the closing Of the factory would have
on the general business and prosperity of
the city, and on the present employees He
stated that some S50.0o0in cash or its equiv
alent would be required to continue the
business successfully that the greater part
of it could be raised among the business
men and capitalists of the city, but that it

foctory assist in some way. A plan has
been proposed, that each employe give a
week. work now and another in the near
future, and if need be accept reduction
OF or 10 per cent. of wages for time,
and take the amount in the capital stock
OF the re-organized company. By this
plan the money contributed, which would be
$4,000 or more, would not be gift, but
each person contributing would become a
stakeholder, and they would have repres-
entative on the board of directors. The
Mayor suggested that the employees organize,
decide on what they are willing to do and
appoint committee to represent them in a
public meeting of citizens to be called soon.
His remarks were greeted with hearty
applause.
Mayor Small will call a meeting of citizens
to be held early next week, at which it is
hoped and expected that arrangements will
be made towards continuing the business.
MesSrs. Swan and Dunton of the assignees
are in Massachusetts in the interests of the
business. The shoe factory employees eX-
press themselves as anxious to do all in
their power to advance the cause, and will
meet Saturday to organize for that end.

Concerning Local Industries,

The business of the Gerry creamery in the
Dana Sarsaparilla building is constantly
increasing, especially in the local demand
for cream. The firm at first only sold cream
merchants, but the demand has increased
until the local trade takes the greater part
of the product. The sale of skim milk for
use in cooking has also largely increased
since the creamery was established. This
institution is a great help to the business of
Belfast. in giving the farmers asure market
for the products of large number of cows,
and the consequent improvement of the
farms and increase of trade in feeding

Gentlemen To the absent ones the pleas
ure derived through an invitation to spend
week at home, and the thoughts that one

throngs of people in search of pretty spots,
or enjoyable localities to spend the summer
months, but very few of them can compare

points the love for Belfast is as strong as
ever, and the wish to be there on Old Home
Week will be in the hearts of all the absent
ones

myself here at Twin Beach Inn on Prudence

of ga previous engagement" We would
greatly enjoy being in Belfast this week in
response to your kind invitation. Mrs. Saw
age especially has looked longingly toward
Belfast for several summers, but circum-
stances have turned our faces another way.
We think of Belfast with many pleasant
and friendly recollections, and hope some

The deceased was born in Windsor, June
20, 1865, the son of Clement F. and Martha
f. (SprowD Moody. Receiving a common
school education, he went to Boston where
he found employment and remained for
nearly ten years. lie married Mrs. Mabel
F. Bessey May %, 1894, and returned to
Maine and engaged in farming in Belmont.
By strict attention to business and the adop-
tion of modern methods, he at once became
recognized as an intelligent and progressive
farmer, and his thrift was everywhere ap-
parent about his farm and buildings. Some
three years ago his health gradually began
to fail and soon developed into pulmonary
tuberculosis. Early last spring the disease
began to make rapid inroads and finally
terminated in his death, after long and
painful illness, which he bore with remark
able fortitude. He received every care pos
sible to alleviate his sufferings and make
his last days as pleasant as possible; not
only from his immediate family but also
from members of Mystic Grange, of which
he was a member. His aged mother came
to help minister to his wants in his last
sickness, and by her unfaltering trust in
Him who gave His life that we through
Him may enjoy enternal life, did much to
reconcile and prepare him for that great

Just for week the days that used to be?
Will you bring back the boys and girls of

That danced and played charades before

And will there be sleighride to Monroe
While the full moon lights up the glistening
snow?
Late getting home? 1t may be so; and yet
Young folks must have their fun, though
old folks fret.
Will the old schooner take us down the bay,
Catching our fish for dinner by the way?
And will you bring that big Old iron pot?
I'll make the chowder, [ have not forgot.
Will that same numbering coach, and horses
four,
Garry us out to Pitchers Pond once more?
Where bunchberries redden, and white
lilies lie
Cleaning like stars upon their watery sky?
oh boys and girls of forty years ago,
The names l will not speak full well you
know.
Promise me this, at time and space I'll
laugh
And come to you at once, by telegraph.
