VETERANS MEETING. If the weather
permits the veterans of Waldo county will
meet in Searsport village Thursday, Nov.
End, expecting the greatest rally and the
finest time ever enjoyed at their meetings.
Latterly in the places where they have met
the citizens have turned out in large num-
bers to give the old soldiers hearty well
come. The forenoon meeting will be brief
and largely given to business. After dinner
and the usual smoke the program for the
afternoon will be opened with patriotic
service of song-perhaps three of the old
war songs, say the "Star Spangled Banner"
Orally Round the Flag" and "Marching
Through Georgia" Then, after prayer,
liver an address of welcome, to be responded
to by Rev. J. w. Vaughan of North Belfast
With appropriate music, songs, recitations
and remarks by the old veterans every min
ute of the session will be full of interest,"

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING. Samuel Dorst
son of John Dorst, who recently moved
here from Fort Fairfield and is employed
in the Duplex Roller Bushing Co., was
seriously injured Oct. 18th while out gun
ming. He was sitting on the ground hold
ing the gun in his hand and in getting up
his foot hit the trigger and the full con-
tents of the gun entered the left arm, sever
ing the arteries and mangling the flesh
fearfully. He was taken to DrS. Kilgore
and Wilson's Offices where the injured arm
was dressed. 1t was feared at one time
that death would ensue from loss of blood
as the arteries were mangled SO that they
could not be picked up. lncisions were
made in the flesh above the wound and the
arteries tied. The accident occurred late
in the afternoon and his exhausted con-
diton caused him to be kept in the doctors
office all that night, his father remaining
with him. lie was removed to his home the
next day and is doing finely, although the
recovery will be tedious.
