STOCKTON SPRINGS
Last week was one of almost continual
raln-the sun scarcely showing until Salur-
day. The big ce-iam at High Head, Ban
9or, which caused so much damage by
freshet to that city, broke on Saturday and
came down stream with a large accompani-
ment of logs and pieces of lumber, so that
the river has been full of debriS-qute an
unusual sight 1t is now clearing, how
ever. Some of the ice cakes, drifted ashore,
measured eight feet in thickness, and many
pieces of lumber gave evidence of having
passed through a terrible crush There
must be large loss OF property in the logs
which have gone out to sea, though many
have been collected hereabouts . DESPITE
the lnclement weather the members of the
Matinee Whist Club We're all present at its
regular meeting last Friday with Mrs.
Horace Griffin, where a warm and drying"
reception soon made the rain forgotten
subject, and the afternoon was most pleas
antly spent 80 The Friday Club, now known
as the Thread and Thimble Club" also
braved the elements, meeting with Mrs. II.
X. Hichborn; and the 'Olivettes" were ell
tertained the same evening by DR.. II. b.
Devereaux, at the home of Mrs. Daniel
Thompson. Mr. NJ r. La Furley- has
bought Mrs. Susie Rendell's stock of dry
and fancy goods, and is selling at cost, in
the store formerly occupied by Mrs r..
Master Lester Bragg, who has been spending
his school vacation with his grandparents,
Capt. and Mrs. Ralph Morse, returned to
his home in West Brookfeld, Mass, last
Saturday. Mr.. David w. Nickels of
Searsport was in town Sunday calling
on relatives. Friends will regret to learn
that his father, Capt. A. V. Nickels,
remains in very critical condition;
and though suffering little pain, and sleep
ing the greater part of the time, is gradual
ly failing in strength. -. Mr.. Harry Shute
left Monday to join his father in Boston, on
board the sch. Herbert E., which is making
ready for sea. Mrs. Henry Stowell and
Mrs. William Carter went to Boston Mon
day, the former to visit her son Henry, and
the latter to join her daughter, Mrs. VIM
Ladd.. Mr.. Sewall Viles, who spent the
winter in Orland, recently returned and
reopened his shop for the repair of boots
and shoes, harnesses, ETC., which is quite
conveEvenience to our townspeople. -. The
entertainment and dance given in Dens-
low Hall, Monday evening, for the benefit of
Bethany Chapter, Order of the Eastern
Star, was very successful, both socially and
financially. The comedy, "Female Ma
sOnry," was very finely presented, and with
the stately officers, striking candidates and
realistic goat of it's mock initiation cere-
mony, proved very amusing and it is whis-
pered that the Masons were so hard hit
that they scarcely knew "where they were
at" There was an excellent house, con-
sidering the bad state of travelling, and $25
was Melted for the order, which we under
stand more than pays the last instalment
on a recently purchased piano, the object
for which the entertainment was given.
The Current Events Club was entertained
on Wednesday P. NJ. by Miss LeOra Part
ridge.
