Friday evening" which was devoted to the
subject of temperance, was very much
praised. 1t should be heard in every church

A Coon WORD FoR-THE JOURNAL. AS
we look over the pages of The Journal
from week to week we often think of its
value to the people of Waldo County, to
whose interests it is especially devoted.
Every locality of the county can be repre-
sented if someone in the place has public
spirit enough to furnish the news, and it
will be put into the best shape possible for
the reading public. That this privilege is
taken advantage of quite generally is
shown by the columns of the paper. The
management are not to be held responsible
for the opinions of correspondents, but the
columns of the paper are always open for
courteous communications. 1t is this free
interchange of thought which makes the
paper especially valuable to the community.

placed in every family of the county. if that
family expects to be posted in the affairs of
this portion of the State. OF course
paper like this, with its columns filled with |
matter of local interest, the type for which
is set up in its own office, costs more than
some trashy outside paper with its patent |
filling and local interests left out. But it |
is worth correspondingly more and no in
teligent citizen can afford to be without it. |

Mrs. Frank Il. York of Brooks was the |
