Mr.. and Mrs. o. A. Maxim and DR..
and Mrs. Aldrich, who have spent the
winter in Florida, arrived home the first
of last week Mrs. Z. Fl. jackson came
as far as Boston, and issstopping there
for a while. Mr.. and Mrs. Maxim had a
not altogether pleasant experience on
their way home. The Clyde line steam
er Arapahoe, on which they came from
Jacksonville to New York, was disabled
by the breaking of a shaft, and they
were delayed, being five days and five
nights on the trip which generally takes
but three. They lay at anchor a while,
and were finally towed in by some OF
the other boats of the line, cOmmunica-
ton being kept up by means of wireless
telegraphy. There was a report that
the steamer had been damaged other
wise than by the breaking of her shaft,
and the passengers say they knew the
pumps were running; but the officers,
though saying that the shaft was prob
ably broken by the propeller striking
some submerged wreckage or something
else, did not admit any further damage.
Mrs. Jackson and DIR. and Mrs. Aldrich
were intending to come on the same
steamer, but missed it by accident, and
came by train instead.
Bert Gibbs has bought out the black
smith business formerly conducted by
Ernest Churchill at the Newell shop,
and has hired Henry Kerr of South Paris
who will attend to the needs of patrons
in want of horseshOeing and jobbing.
Mr.. Kerr is an experienced blacksmith
and a good workman. Mr.. Gibbs will
employ him during the summer and
learn the trade. There is no reason why
the shop should not do good business

mortal Hall.
