The B. 4 A. EXTENSION. Another move
was made last week in the real estate dea i
at Cape Jellson, when John p Reynolds
.Jr., transferred, by warrantee deed, all the
| land in Stockton Springs and Searspor1
| bought by him last winter and spring tt
the Merrill Trust Co. of Bangor. From
January to April, last, Mr.. Reynolds bought
80 different pieces of real estate on Cape
| Jellison and its immediate vicinity, many OF
| the lots being large and valuable farms
with good buildings. No definite price was
named in any of the deeds, zone dollar and
other valuable considerations being the
price stated, but all the property sold al
high figures. The land was said to have
been bought is the interests of the Bangor

securing a tidewater outlet for that road
In view of more recent developments this
last transfer would indicate that the mat
| ter is to be carried forward in the near fu
ture.

the historic past, and the speaker had uset
his own camera with a view interesting
those at home in trip that was so delight
full to him. The rugged scenery, the ma
rine scenes, the busy business centres, til
fisheries and the bits of views familiar

full and instructive. The lecture should b
repeated at an early date, that more ma
have the opportunity of enjoying it.
