One of the few remaining old houses in
Belfast has changed hands. The Avery
house on upper Main street has been sold
to Dexter I. Clements of Newburgh. 1t

have been broken out, but while very di-
lapidated in appearance its hewn tmbers
are said to be sound and the cellar wall, of
large rock, is as solid as when first built.
Nj. Clements is a carpenter and he said
that if there was prospect of renting he
would build several houses on the lot; but
it is thought he will repair and make habit
able the present building.
THE MILK SITUATION. The editorial
from the Maine Farmer 1.-The Farmer ii
Price Maker" on another page, gives the
milkmen's side of the question and they are
certainly entitled to a hearing. AS an
nounced two weeks ago some of the milk
men met and after considering the in
creased cost of feed, ETC., agreed upon a
retail price of cents per quart. This led
to protests from many of the customers and
few Of the milkmen went back to the
summer price of cents while others held
to 7 cents. AS to the latter price there
would seem to be no reasonable objection,
and at meeting of milkmen Tuesday
afternoon that was the price agreed upon.
