the next evening and had an enjoyable
time. . The following items are from our
regular correspondent: Garfield Lodge, l.
O.O.F., held their annual memorial services
last Sunday afternoon. A very fine address
was delivered at their hall by John l. Fred
erick, after which they formed in procession,
and escorted by the Searsport Band, which
furnished the music for the occasion, march
ed to the cemetery, where their beautiful
services were carried out and the graves of
deceased members were decorated. A very
large number were in attendance. Mr.. Ed
ward E. Chick, former resident of this
place. died at his home in Cambridge, Mass,
last February and the body was cremated.
His remains were brought here last Satur-
dav for interment in the family, lot. He is
survived by daughter, Miss Clara Chick,

roe... Last Thursday evening Union Hall
was packed to the doors with an assembly
eager to witness what has come to be one
of the leading events of the year, the gradu-
ating exercises of the w. II. S. They were
not disappointed, as it did not fall whit
below the excellent standard of former oc-
casons. The hall and the stage were beau
tifuly decorated with the class colors and
notices, and all the arrangements were per-
feet The undergraduates came i'll for
good share of compliments for the dignlfied
manner in which they carried out their parts
in the affair. AS for the graduates, where
all did so we'll it would be unfair to dis
criminate Our High is certainly something
in which we can all take pride. 1t reflects
credit not only on teacher and pupils, but on
the town which supports it. The program
