A new sign was put up at Hotel An
drews Thursday. Ii stands on the piazza
roof. and is of large moulded letters on
a background of metal lattice work,
making very attractive sign. lt was
done by the Paris Advertising Co. Mrs.
Shaw says that if she had remembered
she would have deferred putting up the
new sign until the I'd of August, as that
will be the twentieth anniversary of her
going in as mistress of the house.

Wheeler's friends are extending their
congratulations to her, although they
can not help feeling sorry that the pro-
motion will take her away from the
town.
Mrs. +. l.. Bracket of Belfast, secre-
tary of the Children's Aid Society OF
Maine, was in town Wednesday, coming
To West Paris to leave for adoption a
little girl from the home in Belfast. This
worthy organization has since its forma-
ton placed for adoption about three
hundred girls, and has taken care of a
large number who would otherwise have
been public wards and inmates of the
pOOrhOuses, refOrmatories or other pub
lie Institutions.
The Republican County Committee
and other interested members OF the
party held a meeting for conference at
the court house Wednesday, and those
present expressed themselves as general
~ satisfied with the outlook in the
county. The speaking campaign will
not be long, nor the number OF meetings
large, but it is hoped to get some of the
distinguished speakers from outside the
state for one or two meetings, including
Speaker Cannon.
Walter l.. Gray's gasoline launch,
which had been on the road for several
weeks, finally arrived last "Wednesday,
and was put into Pennesseewassee Lake
ut once. IL was christened Madge, in
honor of Mrs Gray. After very little
trouble in adjusting the machinery, it
was got to running in good shape, and
more than fultills Mr.. Gray's expecta-
tons. Ii is Racine boat, sixteen feet
long, four and half feet beam, hand
somely finished, and is a great addition
to the lake fleet. Although rated at
only two horse power, it makes the trip
from the boat landing to Gibson's IN
only a little over twenty minutes.
For Howard w. Shaw of Hotel An
drews the world just now revolves around
the boat landing. He has bought boat,
which was formerly run on Lake Pen
nesseewassee, and has ordered a gasoline
motor of two horse power and propeller
which will be put into it. Near the
mouth of Stony Brook, in the rear of the
store house of the Cummings Manu-
featuring Co., he has built a landing,
and il everything goes well, in short
time those who live near the river may
expect to hear the music of the "put,
put" There is lots of sport ahead. A
number of years ago a small steamer
was run on the river while, but it is
long time since there was any sort OF a
motor boat here. In fact, very few seem
to realize that there is any chance FOL
boating.
