the plantation district. These kind be-
 ings graciously throw open their
 homes and entertain with house par
 ties, the most enjoyable of all enter- tainments.
 During the past week two of the most pleasant of these parties were given by Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Jarvis at Bankhead and MT. and Mrs. John Sen nett at New Gascony. The two crowds went down Wednesday morning antic- ipating a lovely time and returned Saturday declaring that the fun and frolic had exceeded even their eXpec- tations.
 Those present at Mr. and Mrs. Jar wis were Misses Rosalie Philpot, Sal lie Jarvis and Berta Sullivan and Messrs Eugene Philpot, Roy Gould and Pitts Jarvis. Those at Mir. and Mrs. Sennett's were Misses Virginia and EulaHe Walker and May Barkley, Messrs. Newton Maer and Henry Jor- dan.
 Wednesday evening Mir Wright Bos- well of Richardson entertained most pleasantly and uniquely the two house parties at the Jarvis and Sennett places. The form of entertainment was an old fashioned country and barn dance given in large empty ware house on his plantation. This build 1 ing made a fine and spacious hall and

REV. J.S. ROGERS
 IN JONESBORO

A JonesbOro paper gives the follow ing account of revival meeting which is being conducted by Rev. J. S. Rogers of this city, pastor of the Ohio Street Baptist church:
 At the tent meeting last night, Dr. Rogers read from the 2nd chapter of Luke, the cry of the ma1efactor on the cross, 'Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom" and the reply of Jesus, This day shalt thou be with me in paradise" He announced as his subject based upon that incident in the worlds greatest tragedy, Hell Robbed
 He spoke forcibly of the signifi- canoe of the cross. He said all the tremendous interests both of the past and the future pointed to the cross of Calvary.
 The malignant forces of hell eX- ploded and were scattered at the cross.
 In the salvation of the penitent thief, hell was robbed of a soul. The soul which links man 10 God was saved from the fearful horrors of hell and saved for heaven. The thief who had just reviled the Savior, in the midst of that monotonous occasion was brought to repentance. He chang ed his mind and cried for mercy.
 He believed in Jesus. His was the most marvellous exhibition of faith known in the worlds history.
 The soul of the thief was saved and carried to paradise, but his works were hurled down to hell.
 There are intelligent men and wom- en in Jonesboro today whose souls may be saved, but their works will be burned.
 To say the discourse was grand would not be exaggeration. Reader I wish you had heard it. Come to night Quite a number of young men and others asked for prayers and some professed conversion.

Monetary Commission Will Do 1t
Work Thoroughly Says Burton.

Cleveland, Aug. 31.-Congressman
Theodore E. Burton, who has just re-
turned from London, where he at
tended the session of the sub-coul-
mittee of the national monetary com
mission, OF which he is a member. sad
today that the work OF the commits
sion is sure to assume very great i'm
portance. 1t is the disposition of all
the members, Mr.. Burton said, to take
no step hastily. to ignore as far aa
possible partisan considerations, and
seek to secure needed reforms in the
national banks and in the issuance ol
bank notes.
Another subcommittee has been
considering proposed reforms in the
administration management of banks,
especially in their relation to the
treasury department. Among tie
propositions under consideration is one
to change the present law 50 that
bank examiners should be paid regular
salaries, instead of fees payable by

Dover, Me, Aug. 3l.-(Speclal).-l
funeral of Herbert Woodbury., the sus-
pected murderer of his wife, who COM
mitted suicide by cutting his throat
Saturday at the Piscataquis county
Jail in Dover, was held at the home
Main street, Monday afternoon and
was private. Rev. F. H. Pratt Of the
Peoples Baptist church, olficiated and
the interment was in the Dover vii
laSe cemetery. In the laying to rest of
Mr.. Wocdbury's remains one of the
saddest affairs in the history of Dover
and Fcxcroft comes to an end. The
case which was to come before the SUI
preml court for trial Sept. q would
have been a hard fought one. The de-
fence with Hon. F. f. Goodwin of
Skowhegan and Judge c. w. Brown of
Dover as attorneys, claimed that they
had very strong case on which to
prove Mr.. Woodbury'S innocence, while
the State maintained that it could
prove his guilt without a doubt. AS the
sentiment of the townspeople as well
as of the people throughout the coun-
ty was against Mr.. Woodbury. it would
have been difficult to have found an
unprecedented jury, and it is doubt
full if it would have received the JUS
tice which such a case deserves.
The Bangor & Aroostook brought
upwards of 1000 people to town sun
day on the excursions to the FoNcroft
campground. This was one Of the lars-
est crowds in attendance at the local
campground in recent years. The train
from Aroostook county was the most
largely patronizcd, about 1000 people
coming in on it. A heavily loaded train
came from the vicinity of Searsport
and one from the Moosehead region.
