In response to inquiry from many
grangers throughout the county, THE
AMERICAN has decided to establish a
grange column as a regular feature OF the
paper each week. This column will be
devoted primarily to the oranges of Han
cock county. The interest of grangers
throughout the county is solicited. A
letter to secretaries of ell oranges in the
county has met with such immediate and
hearty response, that we feel that the sue
cess of the column is assured, for on the
interest of the grangers themselves de-
ponds its success. We open the column
not only to items of grange news, but to
the discussion of topics of general in
terest to grapgers, merely suggesting that
letters to the column be made as short
and as concise as the topic will admit.
We hope for the hearty cooperation of all
Patrons of Husbandry in Hancock county
in making the column source of interest
and value to grangers.- EDrToR.l

WEST HANCOCK.
IN MEMoRIAM.

The death Of Lena Joy Mcfarland on
the evening of Nov. II, as briefly recorded
in THE AMERICAN of last week, cast a
deep gloom over the entire neighborhood,
and also in Franklin, her former home,
where she had many warm friends.
Mrs. Mcfarland had been in failing
health for some time, but by reason OF her
strong will, had only been confined to
her bed few weeks. The devoted
husband, who was constantly with her,
and the sister who had been faithful and
loving attendant during the past few
months, also the relatives and friends who
did everything possible to alleviate her
sufferings, could not realize they must
part with her-thst this sweet, young life
had already passed beyond them. just
before the end came she said to her hus-
band, with a smile of ineffable Joy: I" Do
not weep for me; am ready and so hap
py." Her last words were: "They have
come to take me over" Then she fell
asleep to wake in that land where there is
no sorrow.
Mrs. Mcfarland was born in Winter
Harbor, Nov. %, 1884, the daughter of San
ford and Nellie Emerson Joy. At the
death of her mother when she was about
nine years Of age, she was adopted by Sam
uel Springer and wife, of Franklin, with
whom she lived until her marriage to
Irving M. Mcfarland in November, 1903.
Since that time she had made her home in
Hancock.
One child was born to them, which
gladdened their hearts but one short week.
Mrs. Mcfarland was of lovable disposi-
ton, which won for her many true friends
who will miss her sadly, but are the bet
ter for having known her. To the COM
panion who will so deeply feel the loss Of
a devoted wife, to the father and sisters,
Misses Stella, Amy and Nellie, of Winter
Harbor, to the foster mother and sisters,
who regarded her as their own, deepest
sympathy is extended.
Funeral services were held at the home
Tuesday. A large number OF friends
gathered to pay their last tribute of re-
spect. Rev. j. P. Simonton, OF Ellsworth,
officiated. Three selections were sung by
quartette composed Of Mrs. j. P. Ed
ridge, Miss Bertha l.. Giles, J. A. Cunning
ham and O. w. Tapley, Of Ellsworth. The
pail bearers were Sherman Mcfarland and
Watson X. Springer, of Hancock, Victor
K. Smith, of Northeast Harbor, and Fred
Moore, of Ellsworth Falls.
Sometime, when all life's lessons have been
learned,
And sun and stars foreyermore have set,
The things which our weak judgment here
have spurned,
The things DER which we grieve with lashes
wet,
win rise before us out of life's dark night
As stars shine most in deeper tints OF blue.
And we shall see how all Gods plans are
right,
And how, what seemed reproof, was love
most true.

There is now a Christian Endeavor
union in Ceylon, including Baptists,
Presbyterians and Wesleyans. The
American Christian Endeavor societies
have recently Joined in with the others
to strengthen this union. The latter
are the most powerful, for they have
used Christian Endeavor with great
energy. The Christian Endeavor sec
rotary for India. Rev. Fl. Halliwell, has
lately visited Ceylon and has given
great help and encouragement. In no
part of the world is Christian Endeav-
or more suitable to native proclivities

Just to be tender, just to be true,
Just to be glad the whole day through;
Just to be merciful, just to be mild,
Just to be trustful as a child;
just to be gentle and kind and sweet,
Just to be helpful with willing feet,
Just to be CHEEKY when things go wrong,
Just to drive sadness away with song;
Whether the hour is dark or bright,
Just to be loyal to God and right;
Just t. believe that God knows best,
Just in His promise ever to rest
Just to let love be our daily key,

Dear AUNT Madge and Sisters:

lear Aunt Mage ana sisters:
The summer is past and large slice of win
ter has dropped down at our doors, remind
ing us that Christmas is coming, but there,
most of us have been plying our needles for
weeks, as that is the usual first present to be
thought of. / regret that have no grand
children, but then there are lots willing to be
called our grandchildren at this time. / have
four such, SO my pile of knit goods will have
to be quite large, it is SO easy to knit.
Now word to the Johns. Last Christmas
my John brought in large willow rocker
and said: "This is for the kitchen" OF course
wanted to take it straight to the parlor, but
he said no. So it has remained right before
our eyes ever since, and oh, the comfort there
has been enjoyed in it. By the aid of little
crash have kept it clean so that it look almost
as nice as new. We made a rule that evening
the one who got it first should enjoy it as long
as we wished, SO we have not quarreled over
it bit. hope every John will get one this
year just for the kitchen or living room; they
are SO light they can be taken from room to
room as needed, but in the kitchen days for
the tired housewife to drop into a moment to
rest is where the comfort comes in.
L. E. T., Of Lynn, has made her yearly visit
to Maine. spent a pleasant half day with
her. The NJ. B. got talked Of, you bet. Jennie
visited last week almost to my door, but on
account Of the big snow storm did not see
her. She has bad luck visiting Surry in
storms.
To those who have to pick fowl for Thanks
giving let me say, just as soon as the heads
are cut OFF, throw them into pail of cold
water, colder the better, we use ice, take out
as soon as dead and they pick far better than
if scalded, and look as well as if picked dry;
we have SO picked hundreds. Just try it; they
warm right up as soon taken from the
water; don't kill but one at a time unless you
have more than one picker. DELL.
