/ George D. McCrillis, Register OF Deeds for
Waldo County, was reminded by the article
| in last weeks journal headed "When jeff
| Davis was in Maine,' that he had had in
his possession, since that time, the cork
| screw that drew the shoppers out of the
liquid refreshments given Mr. Davis when
he was in Belfast The celebration was
held on the old campground on the East side,
where the electric plant is now situated,
and MI. McCrillis was among those who
attended. The corkscrew which was in use
was broken and Charles Patterson, then
clerk in the Post Office under Samuel Ed
wards, borrowed and used the one loaned
by Mr.. McCrillis Mr.. McCrilliS was Offer
ed SIS for it, when in the south some years
ago, but preferred to keep it as memento
and souvenir. We are informed that Col.

entertained by Judge Alfred johnson. He
was the guest of II. II. johnson.
