Lester Whitman of California is on
his way to South Paris in this State,
by automobile from ocean to ocean.
One Old Town firm is doing rush.
ing business of late selling checker
berry ice cream. This kind of ice
cream is practically new in this sec
ton but is much used in the south and
| west. .-.. as @.t.
| The town authorities of South Paris
will soon make matters decidedly warm
for some Of the boys of that village,
who of late have been doing much
malicious mischief. In one school
house alone, IS panes of glass have
been broken the past month"; -.-.
/ One Of the most profitable enterprises
| in Eastport at the present time is
catching pollock and cod off the
| wharves. One day, this week, several
fishermen caught between 100 and 200.
The cod and pollock are for the most
part shipped out of the city, after being
cleaned and dried, and are sold at a
good profit.
There is talk of opening the East
Maine Conference seminary building
at Bucksport, another season, after the
close of the school year in June as
summer hotel. 1t is believed that not
only would it bring in handsome
revenue for the school, but it would
also prove an excellent advertisement
| for it.
; The burglar who recently entered the
office of Byron G. Pride of Westbrook,
| injured a plant that was on the win
dow sill near the safe that has quite
history. When the boys of Co. M.
started for Chickamauga five years ago
| last May many went to the station to
see them off and several bouquets
were taken. One of the bouquets con-
tanned a beautiful pink begonia spray
which fell to the ground. 1t was
picked up by Calvin Black and placed
in water where it rooted and has since
made it's home in Mr.. Pride's office
being known by the name of Co. M It
was a very beautiful plant before its
rough handling.
Some malicious person, or persons,
one night recently, sanded the bearings
of the machinery of the Camden Yacht
Building and Railway Company. $500
reward has been offered for the detec-
ton and conviction of the guilty party.
The sand was taken from the western
side of the harbor in a boat and it was
accidentally dropped along the rails.
The persons who did this mean and
despicable act, had a good knowledge
of machinery, for they sanded the
place that would do the greatest
amount of damage. ~
A very pretty Syrian bride of about
Is years who reached Eastport a few
days ago from Boston had quite an
experience travelling on the trains alone
from the Hub as she was able to speak
very little English. She had been mar
ried about a month ago at Boston to a
young Syrian Who soon after came, to
PASSPORT to engage in cutting In one Of
the sardne factories and last, week
sent for his young bride to join him.
the girl starting out with a slip of
paper bearing her husbands name and
PASSPORT, Maine also conspicuously
written on the paper. Up to the time
she reached Bangor she got along all
right but when the conductor called out
the change of cars the Syrian did not
hear him and was carried in another
direction from that intended and the
mistake was discovered too late. 1t
was case of wait over another night
and next day the bride reached East
port but the young husband was at
work in the factory and no one to meet
her at the station as the train came
in. She told her story in broken
English to the city marshal and was
later taken to her husband. ,.
