BELGRADE.
The funeral services of the late Ida
Tillson Bickford were held from the
home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs j.
E. Tillson, Sunday April 10 at 1880
o'clock, Rev. j. S. Cummings ofticiat-
ing, with singing by the Belgrade
Quartet. Mrs. Bickford was born in
the house where she died p years ago.
She had been for a number of years
one of our most successful teachers,
both in her native town and in the
towns adjoining, where by her natural
Iy bright and genial disposition she
won many friends who will sincerely
mourn her loss. At Christmas 1907,
she was married to Ralph Bickford of
Mt. Vernon who with her parents and
one sister, Miss Jennie, survives.
gloom is cast over the entire COM
munity at the sudden ending of this
bright young life at the time when
life naturally was all brightness and
the future seemed to hold so much OF
happiness. The sympathy Of all goes
out to the bereaved parents, husband
and sister. The floral offerings We're
many and beautiful, attesting to the
love and esteem of one of whom 1t
might well be said ITO know her was
to love her" Interment was made in
the family lot at Belgrade's beautiful
cemetery.

AS OTHERS THINK.
Everyone in Augusta Has Right to
His Own Opinion.

While everyone has a right to his
own opinion, yet it is wise to always
consider what others think and profit
by their experience.
Nothing makes life so miserable, or
interferes so widely with the useful
ness of the average American. as in
digestion, and it is well for us to give
fair consideration to what others think
about this remarkable affection.
Rowditch, Webster & Co. are posi-
tive that in Mi-o-na stomach tablets
they have an absolute cure for in
digestion and the many disagreeable
SYMPTOMS that follow this disease
such as distress after eating, coated
tongue, bad taste in the mouth, dizzi-
ness flatulence, nervousness and
debility.
Their action in selling Mi-o-na on
a guarantee to refund the money unless
il cures. shows plainly their belief In
the value of this remedy. They take all
the risk, and there will be no charge
whatever for Mi-o-na unless you are
satisfied that it has relieved you of
indigestion.
Mi-o-na wakens up the stomach
muscles and strengthens them so that
they take care of all the food you ear
in a natural, healthy way, without
pain or distress after meals.
1t costs but so cents box, and does
more real good than dozen boxes OF
the ordinary digestive tablets. Inc
absolute, unqualified guarantee OF
Bowditch, Webster & Co, shows thelr
faith in the value of Mi-o-na. ~s--.rsT

tail caterpillars feeding Friday for the
first time this spring, the warm
weather of the past few days having
brought the little fellows out Prof.
Hitchings states that the brown-tails
will be plenty this season in Kittery,
Elliot, York and other places in that
section, especially along the line of the
electric roads, and that in one place
he counted 25 of the winter nests Of
the moth on one small cherry tree
not more than four feet high. In
Portland however it is thought that
the moths will be few, owing to the
excellent work that has been done IN
that city in destroying the nests.

PRESIDENT RECEIVES NEWS.
Stops Tennis Game to Rejoice When
He Hears of Harvard's Victory.

Washington, Nov. 22.AThe news of
the victory of Harvard over Yale was
given to the President while he was
rlaying tennis at the White House
with Ambassador Jusserand, Secretary
and the Interior Garfield and Assistant
Secretary of State Bacon.
1t is understood the President played
tcnnis instead of going for walk or
ride in order that he might get the re-
port of the game at the earliest pos
sible moment.
THE final score is to in favor OF
Harvard" shouted Secretary Loeb out
of the window of his office.
The President was engaged III a hot
ly contested game, pitted with Mr.. Ba-
con against the French ambassador
and Secretary Garfield, but when he
heard the tdings he forgot about his
own match, pushed back his SLOUGH
hat and swung his racket over his head
in such a wide circle that it looked as
if he would split the black sweater he
was wearing.
Mr.. Bacon let it be known that he
was from Harvard, too by uniting with
his distinguished partner in little
| Harvard celebration on their side or
the net. while the ambassador and Sec
rotary Garfield waited for the enshu-
| SiaSm to Subside.

STOCK DEALINGS
NOW ON SOLID BASIS;
First Rush Following Taft's Election Is
Over Strong Demand For Panama,
Foreign and Railroad Bond Issues.

New York, Nov. 22.-Dealings in
stocks last week contracted to a daily
average of but little more than 1,000,-
600 shares at the New York Stock Elk
change, compared with the average of
upwards of 100000 shares Il day for
the week preceding Coupled with this
dimintion in the activity of the mar
ket there drew up a degree of uncer-
tainty in the price movement in con-
trast with the uniformly strong up
ward movement which had prevailed
since the Presidential elections. These
facts registered the SOberer view Of the
prospect of enhancement of values
growing out of the Improvement in
business and financial conditions and
the apprehension that the speculative
pace had been overrunning itself.
There is no trace perceptible here of
any fears for the ultimate prospect for
increase of prosperous conditions. The
conviction remains unaltered that the
situation is adjusted to steady resump-
ton of business and industrial activity
in all lines 1t is in the rate of dis
counting the expected improvement in
the stock market speculation and in
ton of the stock market by that pro-
cess that the source of distrust have
been found.
In one or two fields of industry there
were signs of danger that the specula-
tive enthusiasm was outrunnlng the
present condition also. The substantial
financial elements amongst the bank
ers and large capitalists were inclined
to voice wal ming against this ten
dency and to depreciate an attempt tc
enter upon a sudden boom of industry
