Slulclnk MS pup over the odLu uuiiuS
the past week. His drive consists of
10000 cords, 1000 of which belongs to
the Great Northern Co., and $500 OF
his own. These pulp logs are mixed
with one million and half OF logs be-
longing to the North Arson Lumber
Co., in the booms here, and it is
difficult, hard job to sort the pulp
logs O ut.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Bryant were

Misses Flora Berry and Susie Clark
returned home, Saturday night, from
Pennington where they had been at
tending the summer school for teach
ers. There were 1T teachers presant
besides many superintendent and
visitors, and at the close Of the ses-
sion, delightful reception was given

ton, so well known in this village,
was at the station Saturday morning,
when the teachers started homeward,
and personally looked after their
comfort, among other things, check
ing 40 trunks, and bidding each teach
err goodby. Prof. Pnrington is a

with friends.
The long -look-for rain came Fri
day night. While there was not a

There we're seven Arson Academy
grad who attended the summer
term of school just closed at the
Pennington Normal building. Show
hogan sent the largest number of
teachers to this school, Madison took
the second place and North Arson
the third. These towns sending so
many good teachers to this school
speaks well for the educational inter-
ests of Somerset county.
The Sunday excursion trains over
the Somerset branch every Sunday to
Moosehead Lake are literally patron
lied. Several from this town joined
the exoursionists, last Sunday.
A few OF the farmers in this section
are done haying but there is large
amount of hay yet to be cut. Some
large farms have hardly been COM
menced.
The rear drive on the Kennebec
river passed this village Sunday. 1t
got along earlier than some former
years, as the manner of driving these
days makes it possible to pass over
the different sections very rapidly
compared to the old times of driving
when one man took charge of the logs
from The Forks to the booms.
The severe drought broke, Friday
night, and since then it has been poor
hay weather but there is no DISPOSE
ton to complain at the rain and
cloudy weather.
Frank Crymble and his son, Frank
the first of the week went out on the
lake for a short time fishing and sue
eeeded in landing two good lakers,
one weighing ten pounds and the
other a little lighter but both great
fish.

position of principal. Mr.. Williams
is a graduate of Bates college, '0S,
and has had experience as teacher,
and is a young man of considerable
promise. He is preparing new cat
alogue of this institution. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be large at
tendance at the fall term, which be-
gins Aug. oath, several students from
out of town having already signified
their intention of coming. The trus-
tees will make repairs at the Aca-
denny and fit up a room for a labora-
tory for science work.
