Owing to the bad travelling, the con-
templated visit Of Bluehin lodge of Odd
Fellows to Lejok lodge last Friday did not
| materialize. Except for the absence Of
the Bluehill brethren, the entertainment
was carried ont as planned. There were
several visitors from other lodges. Supper
was served at $50 o'clock, followed by
work in the second and third degrees by
Lejok lodge, after which refreshments
were served.
The firemen were called out at o'clock
last evening for slight fire at the house
Of Wallace Raymond on High street. The
fire started in the attic around a chimney,
work by volunteer bucket brigade pre-
vented a more serious fire. 1t would have
| required the laying of 1,400 feet of hose,
which the iremen had on the spot, but
this was made unnecessary. The value Of
little water in time was proven. The
| damage is estimated at about 800.

II. B. Phillips, who short time ago
purchased the Ellsworth creamery prop
erty is in negotiation with experienced
\ r,f l;oh hta ;ab
it is hoped will result in starting up the
creamery in the spring. Mr.. Phillips has
received letters from many dairy farmers
in this vicinity who hope to see the
cream sry reopened. The support of the
farmers in such an undertaking is neces-
sary for its success. The benefits of an
active creamery have been sufficiently
proven here. Under the management OF
J. C. Gordon, during the second year OF
the creamery, payroll to farmers for cream
often reached $4,000 a month and over.
j. A. Haynes is filling the creamery ice
house with ice.
