Most of these will leave before the middle
of the month. George W. C. Drexel of
Philadelphia sent away seven horses by the
steamer Frank Jones Sept. 2Sth....O On re-
cent afternoon young woman from one OF
the cottages went out in a sail boat against
the orders of Capt. G. Richmond Pendleton,
who has charge of the piers and boats at
the West Jetty, Gilkey's Harbor, telling her
the danger owing to the heavy wind. He
went about his work at the pier, not MOTTO
ing that she had gone. In short time he
heard screams for help, when to his sur
prise she was clinging to the bottom of her
capsized boat. He soon launched another
boat, went to her assistance, and brought
her safely to shore. H. L. Brown of Bos-
ton has just begun two-story cottage. The
frame is up and partly boarded. The build
tages are in prospect, and builders are fig
uring on the plans of architects. Hatch &
Weymouth employ large force of carpen-
ters as they do most of the repairing and
building in the town. They have just COM
pleted extensive improvements on the farm
buildings of Capt. Elisha W. Pendleton and
have taken the contract for shingling the
roof of the Baptist church and building a
hearse-house on the church property.
During the past month some eighteen of the
Islesboro young people left home to attend
school, Five went to the Castine Normal
School, four to Coburn Classical Institute,
Watervile, one to the University of Maine,
one to Wellesley college. Others went to
Kent's Hill and to the Maine Central Insti-
tute in Pittsfeld. Nearly as many more
who have graduated in recent years at the
Normal School and other institutions, but
who were at home during the summer va
cation, left early in September to teach in
other towns during the present terms. Only
three of the 1slesborO young people are en-
ployed as teachers in the town schools.
Two former pastors of the Free Baptist
church, viz, Rev. w. Il. FultZ of Portland
and Rev. J. West of Yarmouth, N. S.,
recently visited their old friends and occu-
pied the pulpit one Sunday each, preaching
to large and deeply interested audiences
both morning and evening. The Masonic
Lodge, which during last winter met every
Thursday evening, owing to the large
amount of work, has met monthly during
the summer, but at the last meeting, Thurs
day evening, Oct. 1st, it was decided to re-
sumo its weekly gatherings, with banquet.
Capt. Austin Trim is the efficient master of
the Lodge On the evening of the last reg
ular meeting reference was made by Capt.
George Alden Warren and Rev. George b..
Tufts to the great loss sustained by the Or
der in the recent death by drowning in
Long Island Sound of Capt. Edwin Coombs,
a brother held in the highest esteem for his
many worthy qualities. His funeral was
held August %, in the Free Baptist church,
of which he was valued member. Three
clergvmen participated in the services,
whicn were followed by Masonic rites at
the grave.
