had been about her household duties in ap-
parently as good health as usual and her hus-

forenoon, left the house for a short time,
and when he returned he found her lying
husband, one daughter and one son to
mourn their loss. Otis Whitmore and
daughter, Leola, of Maiden, Mass, arrived
Friday morning, called here by the death Of
his sister, Mrs. G. F. Brier. -. Mrs. r. S..

A SPECIAL CORN TRAIN When sthe
passenger train arrived here last Friday
evening orders were received to hold the
crew, and before O'Clock the engine had
whstled out again. 1t appears that there
was corn famine here, while the Swan Il
Sibley Co. had supply on the ears at
Waterville. Friday the cars were started
this way with a number of car loads of coal
for the Maine Central, out the train was
too heavy for the engine to pull over "the
divide" on the Belfast branch and the corn
was left and the coal brought in. On hear
ing of this Mr.. Swan telephoned the Maine
Central headquarters in Portland, stating
the case and saying he must have the corn
by the time business opened Saturday. The
result was an order despatching the passen-
ger engine up the road for the corn, which
arrived hpra a hDut oh nd tba
famine was over.

their members, soon to be married, sur
prise party and tin shower at the home of
Mrs. Herbert Drinkwater on Congress
street last Monday evening. When the
| hostess ushered her two guests into the
| dining room about $50 they were greeted
| by their friends grouped around the table
daintily set for twelve, They had been so
engrossed in conversation that they had not
| noticed the slight confusion OF their hostess,
| or noises attendant upon the arrival, via the
| basement and cellar stairs, of the other
guests, and the surprise was complete.
| The place cards were postal cards, with APP
| prOprate pictures and mottos. After the
dainty supper was served, the guests of
| honor examined the contents of the heap of
bundles placed before them, finding therein
many useful implements with which to
adorn their kitchens The evening was
| spent very pleasantly and the first meeting
| in the new home of the club members was a
success from every point of veiw.
