and to leave the business to his two sons,
George and Joseph. George A. Palmer,
who is the postmaster, will continue and
has fitted up the store house, which was
saved, for post Office and to carry light
groceries, and the chances are that his
father will build him store in the spring.
Joseph, the youngest son. will run the
grlSt mill and keep -four, corn and feed.
Mr.. +. l.. Palmer has been very busy man
Tor the past forty years. For twenty years

His wife, Mrs. Belle }. Palmer, has been

CAsTINE
Mr.. Edward r. Hale of Portland, who
is connected with the department of agri-
culture, is in town looking after the brown
tail moth pest. lie reports that there are
moths in this vicinity, not in numbers as
alarming as in some places, yet the pest is
quite a serious plague and ought to be
attended to at once. We understand the
selectman, W. A. Kicker, has offered ID
bounty of two cents bunch for the nests in
order that the obstruction may be complete.
Miss Blanche Moon, the daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Eugene Moon, formerly of Han

Thursday, handsomely entertained these
willing workers, furnishing oyster stew
rendered Mr.. and Mrs. Noon for their
hospitality and the pleasant occasion. The
splendid supper given by the men of the
Congregational society last evening was well
up to their usually high standard This
practice on the part OF the men of the
society has now become an annual affair

siderably high anticipations. Rev. A. E.
Luce, pastor of the Methodist church, was
