it is all a story that happened

the interesting real stories that
history gives us now and then,

Corporate Name Changed-New Of
ficers Elected.
AT meeting Of the stockholders OF
the Ellsworth Hardwood Supply Co.. held
last Friday evening, 1t was voted to
change the name of the corporation to
the Ellsworth Hardwood Co.
1t was the intention OF the original cor
poration to supply E. B. Estes & Sons with
material, but since negotiations with that
firm fell through, and the company is
now manufacturing on Its own account,
1t was deemed best to make the change in
the name.
The old board of directors resigned in
body, and the following were elected
George II. Hartman, R. B. Holmes, J. O.
Whitney, II. b. Moore, A. w. King, H
w. Cushman, ]. A. Peters, jr.
The directors chose the following Of.
hcers: President, J. A. Peters, IT,; vice.
president, R. B. Holmes; treasurer, g
II. Hardman; clerk, H. M. Hall.
The outlook for the development of this
hardwood industry in this section Il
bright. There Is no lack OF orders; the
difficulty, II any, that the company will
encounter this season will be lack of ma
terial, this being due to the fact that the
business was started so late in the lum Der.
ing season.
Shipments of finished products of this
new industry have already been made
About twenty hands are now employed at
the factory.

The speaker then recounted the other
good deeds that had been done during the
past three years-new crushed rock roads,
rock crushing plant, supplies for fire de-
partment, steel bridge, stone culverts, etc.
He pointed with pride to the fact that
during the year now ending affairs had
been SO managed that it had not been nee
essary to make a single temporary loan,
and to the fact that the tax rate-$23 on
the $1,000, had been the lowest for years.
He then appealed for support from all
good citizens in continuing in office
the administration that is able to make
SO excellent a showing.
Aid. Stuart continued his address with
an eulogy of the present mayor, and
closed by placing him in nomination, and
asking that it be made by reclamation.
Aid. Leland seconded the nomination in
brief but vigorous speech.
The motion was then put and carried
unanimously.
Mayor Greedy was present, and re-
sponded as follows:
thank you for your expression of confidence
and good will.
also thank the gentlemen who have so ably
presented my name.
After four years of service for the city, with
whatever success or want of success / leave to
the decision of our fellow citizens, 1t was my
desire and purpose at the close of the municipa
year to retire to private life and did 1 follow
my personal feelings, should do SO.
But at the solicitations of some of our citizens,
and an appeal to my sense of duty, and the
unanimous action of this caucus, am impslled
to sacrifice my feelings and accept the nomina-
ton.
To the gentlemen who have been associated
with me the past year in the administration of
the affairs of the city, is due In small measure
whatever of merit has been accomplished,
and If the same gentlemen are re-nominated and
elected, feel safe in saying that, barring ex-
traorlinary expenses they can at least dupli-
year.
The city committee was empowered to
fill vacancies.
The caucus then adjourned.
Ward caucuses followed: Charles H.
Leland was nominated alderman in ward
1; George B. Stuart in ward 2; E. E. Brady
in ward 5. Ward 4 had nominated merry
Maddocks the day before. Ward 8, at its
caucus on Friday night, nominated Charles
W. Gerry.

Aged Mrs. Hanson Burned to Death
at Pretty Marsh.
The little community of Pretty Marsh
on Mt. Desert Island was shocked last
Saturday morning on discovering that
the house OF Mrs. Nancy Hanson had
been burned to the ground and that its
sole occupant had persisted in the flames.
Mrs. Hanson was ninety-five years Of
age. She had lived alone since the deaf b
OF her second husband some years ago,
persistently refusing to live with some
one, or to permit some one to live with
her.
Ample provision was made for her,
however, and she was allowed to live as
she desired.
Mrs. Hanson was born on Cranberry
Isles, Jan. 10, 1908 Her irst hus band was
Capt. Tyler freeman, with whom she
lived forty years. After few years of
widowhood she married DIR. j. l.. Hanson,
and lived with him about twenty years.
He died few years ago
For seventy years Mrs. Hanson had
lived In the house in which she met her
terrible death.
