manufacturer and pedder, Mr.. J. r. Hamil-
| ton, who has followed the business for near
| ly fifty years, is over eighty years of age and
is well known by people in half of the county
of Waldo, has been having very hard luck,
About the first of May while making ID ket-
tie of soap he had the misfortune to get
some of the potash in his shoe and before he
realized what was the trouble it had burned
IA place in his foot about two inches long
and one inch deep, making a large sore
| which has confined him to his house all sum
mer Mr.. Hamilton makes a business of
raising poultry for market, besides selli ng
Il great many eggs. During the summer he
| has lost about one hundred hens and chick
ems by skunks. He thinks he lost twenty
| five more by another variety of skunk. We
| hope Mr.. Hamilton will soon be able to re-
| resume his business at the old stand. III.
