At the Turning Point.
| The rust is over the red of the clover,
| The green is under the gray;
| And down the hollow the ileet-wineed
| swallow
Is flying away and away.
| Fled are the roses. dead are the roses,
| The glow and the glory done,
| And down the hollow the steel-winSed
| = swallow
Flying the way o. the sun.
In place of Summer a dread new conner
His solemn state renews;
| A crimson splendor, instead of the tender
| Daisy, and the darling dews.
But oh, the sweetness, the full complete
That under mis- reign are born.
Russell and yellow in apples mellow,
| And wheat and millet and corn.
| His frosts so hoary, touch with glory
Maple and oak and thorn;
And rising and falling, his winds are
calling
Like a hunter through his horn
No thrifty sower, but just a mower
That comes when ne is done,
With warmth a-heaming and gold a
cleaning
| Like sunset after the sun.
And while fair weather ard frost to-
gether
Color the woods so gay,
We must remember that chill December
| Has turned his steps this way.
| And say. as gather the house together,
And pile the logs on the hearth
Help us to follow the light little swallow
Fen to the ends of the earth.

Bath Independent: A visitor to this
city one day this week remarked to the
Independent, Il haven't visited your
city for about 80 years, and while you
have improved considerably in the way
of municipal improvements your citi-
zenS have not kept up with the NUM-
cipallty in regard to buildings. | do
not think that your business streets
look very much better than they did
over q quarter of century ago. You
have to be sure built some new blocks,
but even those, as a rule, are not such
buildings as a live city like this ought

I cannot fail to notice how many of
those same old wooden structures,
which ought to have gone down years
ago in the march of progress, are still
standing and in use"
The Maine Woodsman holds the
opinion that the anonymous contributor
| is only a little better than the man who
wilfully lies to newspapers. The aver
| age person ought to understand that no
| reputable newspaper will, under any
circumstances diVulge the name of a
writer against his will. And yet every

munications.

the 10th annual meeting of the mem
