The last of the county fairs was held in
Unity this week, and was favored with the
| best of weather. The exhibits were good in
all the departments and the attendance Tues:
day is estimated at 3,OOO Miss Hussey won
the 2.15 class, trot or pace, in three straight
| heats best time 2.2S. OmegO won the $50
class, trot or pace, in three straight heats;
best time 2.32a. We go to press too early to
report yesterdays events.
The fire department was called out Mon
| day afternoon by fire in the attic of the
Revere House. A ledger, who later was
given lodgings in the county building on
| Congress street, had set his bedding on fire.
The blazing mattress was thrown out of
the window and the hose turned on it, and
bucket or two of water quenched the fire
| in the room. The damage was slight.
A carload of blocks left Belfast last Thurs
day for New York, to be shipped from
there to Panama for the use of the lsthmus
| Canal Co. The blocks were made by the
Duplex Roller Bushing Co. of this city
and are of the ordinary pattern, single,
double and triple, carrying ropes of from
| IL u luCl, uduc VI ASH, Will kdlVduiACu
straps and duplex roller bushings.
SEAFARERs HOMES. An old scrap book
containing brief sketches of Waldo county
towns came to our notice the other day
and we found that the article on Sears
port was mainly taken from The Journal.
AS the population given, 1882, was for
1870, the publication must have been nearly
40 years ago. 1t was said of the Searsport
| seafarers:
They have doubled the eastern and west
ern capeS, sailed to far India and Austria
liza, and brought the wealth of the sea to inn
| prove and adOrn their homes. One prevail
| ing excellence of the Searsport man is the
neatness about his grounds. 1t is born OF
| that pride which delights in the smart ap-
pearance of a ship and which holystones
the deck to snowy whiteneSs, squares the
| yards to eXactnesS, and dlsposeS OF the run
ing rigging in cOncentric coils. SO the home
on land is one of clipped lawns, handsome
houses, Well-kept fences, and general air
of thrift.
