COULD DEFY THE WORLD.
Lord Beresford Talks Of American and
British Friendship.

LONDON. July l5.-After the lunch
con which the Pilgrims society gave
10 Rear Admiral Cotton and number
OF the officers OF the United States
squadron at Portsmouth, Vice Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford who had pre-
sided, chatted familiarly OF the affair
Lord Charles would have been de-
Lighted to send his friends in America
an expression of the pleasure which
the visit OF Rear Admiral Cotton's
squadron gave him and the ideas
held suggested. However. as he in a
measure represented the king. he
thought 1t would be better not to say
anything further officially than he had
already said in his speech at the
luncheon; still, speaking entirely per.
sonally, he would say that when an
Enslishman or an American looked al
the two flags which decorated the
.walls OF the Carleton hotel, where the
luncheon was given, he could not but
feel proud and happy.
so long" added the commander of
the Channel fleet, "as those flags
stand together. though all the
rest OF the world We're leagued against
us. we could smile"
1t might almost be supposed that
Englishmen resented the use made by
the kaiser of the historic phrase,
blood is thicker than water" and
that the endeavor was being made
during the visit of the American
squadron in British waters to suggest
that the kaiser had appropriated some
thing that did not belong to him. In
almost every speech delivered during
the festivities reference was made to
the origin OF the phrase. Great graf
itcation was felt therefore when Ad-
miral Cotton himself took up the
theme and dwelt upon that occasion
on the Pei Ho river when the British
and American navies stood shoulder

cruel and abusive treatment of a horse.
Hoyt was arrested in China. Monday

corner and Branch Mills, and brought
to Augusta, where he was confined in

ter. The court found him guilty of

THE LOCAL MARKET.
Little Change in Prices and Nothing
to Be Found.

There is not much to be said about
the local market, as prices have not
changed much for the past few days,
and there is nothing new to be had
worthy of mention.
In the line of small fruits, blueber
ries seem to have the lead, but the re-
ceipts are irregular, and prices vary
from Is to 90 cents. RaSpberries, too,
are not very plenty, scarcely any of
the native fruit being brought in. Those
in the market, Monday and TUESDAY.
were the cultivated variety, and retailed
for 20 cents.
Tomatoes are coming along better
than they have been and are selling
at u cents per pound. Telephone peas
are plenty, at 80 cents per peck. Ma
tive string beans are not in the mar
ket to any extent, but Il few pleasant
days will bring them. They sell at s
cents per quart while the Massachu-
sets beans bring cents. Native cab
bages are coming along in small lots,
and sell for cents per pound. Ruta
baga turnips sell for 8 cents per pound
and native beets in lunches, at cents.
New squash costs ) cents per pound.
In poultry, chicks large enough to
roast are finding their way into the
market, at % cents per pound, while
broilers cost the same. Fowl retail

THIS COSTS YOU NOTHING.
Bowditch G. Webster Will Return Your
Money if Mio-na Does Not Cure
Dyspepsia and Increase Flesh.

There are hundreds of people in Au-
o,sta who were not the least bit sur
nrised when they read in the Journal
that Bowditch e Webster were selling
Mi-o-na under a guarantee to refund
the money, in case it did not cure indi-
gestion and increase weight.
This remarkable preparation is
true fesh-forming food, that builds up
good healthy, solid tissue and makes
thinness and scrawniness a thing of
the past.
1t tones up the digestive organs, and
will cure the worst case of indiges
ton headache, dizziness, or the de-
pressed. weak condition that aff1icts
nearly everyone who suffers with
stomach trouble. Mi-o-na does not
simply relieve; it does lasting good.
In 9S out of every 100 cases whore
Mi-o-na is used, the result is a restora-
ton of perfect harmony between height
and weight and an absolute and per-
manent cure of all stomach troubles.
There are today hundreds in Au-
gusta who are recommending Mi-o-na
because it cured them. A few months
ago they were thin and dyspeptic and
could eat nothing without fear of
stomach trouble. Since using Mi-o-na
they have made noticeable gain in
flesh. can eat what they want, and
when they want without fear of suf-
fering.
Remember that you risk nothing in
buying Mi-o-na. If 1T gives you the
desired effect the cost is triiing. if if
fails Bowditch & Webster will pay for
the remedy themselves.

INTERESTING OLD BOOK.
Hayward's Gazateer of New EnuIand
Published in 1890

Andrew j. Pierce has quite a collec-
ton of antiques and curios at his rooms
on Water street, in which he takes a
deep interest. Among other things con-
tanned in the lot, which at once attracts
the attention of the general reader. is
an old book bound in leather and bear
ing on the bach the words Hayward s
New England Gazetteer"
The legend on the title page saws that
the book contains a description of all
the states, counties and towns of New
England, also rivers, lakes. canes BAYS.
harbors, islands, and fashionable re-
sorts, alphabetically arranged. and as
the book was published in 1889 a great
deal of interest attaches to it as q
medium of comparison.
For instance Augusta is snoken of
as .'delightful town." and the head
of sloop navigation" and several pages
are devoted to its description. The pop
ulation is given at $500. Gardiner and
Hallowell are both given compliment
tary mention, and. the population in
each is quoted at 5000.
There are but two Illustrations in the
work, both full-page wood cuts. one
OF Whlch SHOWS the state capitol at
Montpelier, VT, and the other, the land
ing of the pilgrims at Plymouth, Dec.
%, 1920. The figures in the latter cut
are very striking, and the expression
on the faces of those Who have landed
seems to indicate that they wished they
had not come. The earlier forms of
the several state seals are also shown.
Altogether, the book, from its make
up and contents, is a relic of decided
value.

gusta, for the purpose of committing
him to the Insane hospital, but from
lack of papers, was obliged to take the
man back home again. The patient
had previously been committed to the
hospital and was released a few weeks
ago on probation. 1t was this which
caused the trouble for when his condi-
ton became such that it seemed neces

hospital it was supposed that commit
