PERSONAL.

At the annual meeting of the Maine
Press Association in Portland last week,
C. w. Robbins of Old Town having serv-
ed two years as president, Charles A.
Pilsbury of the Republican Journal, Bel
fast, was chosen to succeed him. In an
association made up largely of proprie-
tors of weekly newspapers, no more
representative man than Mr.. Pilsbury
could have been honored by choice to
the presidency. He has been news
paper man for forty-three years, though
he is apparently still in the prime of
life. For number of years he was at
the national capital, doing the arduous
work Of a Washington correspondent.
For something like twenty years he has
conducted the Journal at Belfast, not by
trusting to 1.-The boys and the Office cat"
to ''get out the paper" but by steady,
untiring, conscientious personal labor.
He found the paper one of the oldest in
the state, with high reputation already,
and has done so well with it that the
Journal was described by the late James
G.. Blaine as the best weekly paper in
Maine. 1t is gratifying to state that Mr..
Pilsbury has been able, during the past
fall, to take a little vacation from his
work, and spend few weeks in tour
to England, Scotland and Ireland.

Herbert l. Cromwell of Bath has in
vented Geographic typewriter which,
it is claimed, will revolutionize the
whole Geographic idea. 1t is to send
messages upon typewriter-like machine
which will be recorded in printed form
on similar machine at the receiving
office. Some time ago Mr.. Cromwell
had two machines made for him. Each
is supplied with keyboard and spacer,
while the paper table is supplemented
by narrow socket on one side, into
which roll of paper is dropped. When
the machine is in use this paper is fed
along automatically, like stock ticker,
and the printed message comes out on
the other side of the machine. The in
ventor has placed one of the typewriting
machines in the attic of his home and
the other in the basement, and eight dry
cells at each end furnish the electric
current for the system of magnets which
play very prominent part in the trans
mission of messages by this process.
Thus far not the slightest difficulty has
been experienced in the instruments and
the working appears simple. A slight
pressure upon the keys sends current
Of electricity to the other office, and at
the same time moves along small mag
net which pulls down key and makes
an impression of the letter that is press
ed on the first machine. Upon releasing
the key, the current is broken and the
magnet is ready for the next letter. To
get desired Office there will be certain
bell calls on each circuit, and, when
answered by the shifting of key, all is
in readiness for receiving a telegram
which is automatically printed before
ones eyes.

A POPULAR PREPARATION

One of the best advertised and most
popular preparations for the cure of
Nasal Catarrh and similar troubles is
Ely's Cream Balm. 1t was originated
and placed on the market nearly twenty
years ago by firm of experienced drug
gists, Ely Brothers, and their business
in this special article grew to such pro-
portions that they were compelled to
devote their entire attention to it, Ely
Brothers emphasize the fact that it is to
the interest of druggists to supply Ely's
Cream Balm whenever a customer calls
for it, or even when simply a good
catarrh remedy is asked for. The test
of time has proved that this preparation
always gives satisfactory results. 1t is
uniform preparation, made according
to scientific formula from the very
best quality of drugs. In supplying it
to his trade the druggist does not run
the risk of causing dissatisfaction, which
might occur when the customer is in
duced to experiment with new prepare
tions, the merit of which has not been
fully demonstrated.

GREENWOOD.


That two inches Of snow which fell
Sunday night, would have made fine
plaything for the wind during the next
two days, had it not rained 80 as to form
crust on top.
Report says there is wager between
two men to the effect that there will not
be over two feet Of snow on the ground
at one time during the present winter.
Consequently the future snow storms
will be watched with interest. One
thing is certain, 1t Is the very last OF
January, and there has not been that
amount as yet, and to-day there are only
eleven inches on the ground.
The ice harvest is nearly ended; but
that doesn't mean that the ice Is mostly
harvested; there is enough left to supply
every family living between the tropics
the world over. 1t is mostly Of good
quality, and the last cut was 20 inches
thick.

ton Titus and Mrs. Frank Bennett are
both down with the mumps.
Six years ago Will Boyd of New
Brunswick cut cord wood for John Titus

nobody knows where. The other day he
called on Mr.. Titus again for a job, and
is now cutting birch for him at the
Pond.
Our fish peddler, Francis Cole, called
here recently, and reported that some
of his family have been sick all winter.
His little daughter Alice received sur
gical treatment at the hospital last sum-
mer, after which she seemed to improve
for while, and then grow worse again.
His wife has been on the sick list ever
since cold weather came on.
| Verify there is no reason to fear but
there will be Morses and Edisons enough
in the future for all practical purposes,
as there are in the present, and have
been in the past. Elmer Cole has ex'
hibited his talking machine in his
neighborhood several times, and the
other day his little 3-year-old nephew
procured several spools, which he was
trying to put into some particular
shape, when his mother asked him
what he was doing. "Why," said the
little fellow, ~ am making talking
machine" More recently another little
boy, a year older than the one above
mentioned, was stretching piece Of
Irvine from one chair to another, re
marking while at work that he was put
