kClarence F. " ymau, who was so serious
ly injured Thanksgiving day by being
crushed between car and locomotive, is
recovering rapidly. He has left the Waldo
County Hospital of which he speaks in the
highest terms of praise, and is now at his
home and able to ride out. But for the i'm

clans say he will soon be able to do light
work.

mention of Young man from Montville:
The Universalist church at Dixfield has
taken on new life of late. The new pastor,
Rev. Harry Daniels, is doing wonderful
work. Already he has doubled the Sunday
attendance although he has been here only
since July. He is a young man of great
promise. An able speaker, liberal, pro-
gressive and a great hustler, it is no won
der that he has captured the people and
made himself very popular with all classes.
His mother, Mrs. Abbie Daniels, is with
him here and she has been great help in
re0rganizing the Sunday school She is a
lady OF refinement, intelligence and culture
and is proving a welcome addition to Dix.

Mrs. E. P. Nichols and her daughter, Mrs
Joseph Nichols, left Bucksport last Satur-
day for Philadelnhia, where Madame Mich
OILS will spend the remainder of the winter
with her daughter, Mrs. Henry Page Mrs.
Joseph Nichols will probably go to the Pa
cific coast with her husband, Capt Nichols,
about Feb. 1st, where they will make their
home. This is sad news for Buck port, for
the town will lose one its most delightful
young women and universal favorte.
The Methodist church will feel the loss
most keenly as Maud Nichols has been an
active and efficient worker in many depart
mentS of church life; the Sunday school,
the Epworth League and the church choir
have all received whOlesOuled service. Pre-
vious to her marriage she was teacher in
the east intermediate school, where her
work was highly commended by the school
committee. Capt. Nichols has for the past
few years been commanding the Oregonian
running from New York to San Francisco,
thence to Honolulu and back to New York,
requiring about five months foT the trip.
He is to be transferred to the Alaska of the
Pacific line, owned by the same company,
and will run triangular course, San Fran
cisco to Honolulu, thence to Salina Cruz,
and back to San Francisco, requiring about
six weeks for the circuit. Many a God
speed will go with. the young people to
their new home in the west.
