POoR's MILLS. The Benevolent Club

Thursday, evening". During the storm of
Saturday the chimney in W. A. Banks
house burned out and did quite lot of

burning. The same day the chimney in
Charles Woods house burned OUT. Mrs.
Eta Brown has gone to the city for few
days.. Mrs. George Daggett is quite sick.
Her mother, Mrs. Jackson of Montvlle,
who has been with her, was called home on

The JOURNALS FRIENDS. The journal
has often bad reason to believe that the
ladies are it's best friends and the majority
of its correspondents and contributors are
ladies. Often man in paying his subscrip-
ton will say 'my wife has been reminding
me for some time to call and pay this"
Sometimes the sold man" decides he will
not take the paper any longer and pays up
and stops it. But in few days he calls
again and says his wife must have it; or the
wife comes and has the subscription put in
her name. In this connection an amusing
incident may be related. When The Jour
nal left the Democratic fold and became in
fact as we'll as in name a Republican news
paper, one of it's Waldo county subscribers,
prominent Democrat and personal friend
of the editor, VIM. II. Simpson, wrote and
ordered the paper sent to him to be diScon-
tinued. A little later Mr.. Simpson received
letter from this gentleman in which he
said that he had not told his wife he had
stopped the paper and when it failed the
second week she had gone to the post office
and given the postmaster hail Columbia
In conclusion he said that he had had no
peace and to send the paper again, and keep
sending it.
BAYsIDE POST OFFICE. AS announced
last week the post office department has is
sued orders changing the name of the
Northport Campground post office to Bay
side. This is summer post office only,
those living on the camp ground or in the
vicinity getting their mail at other times at
East Northport. The Bangor Commercial
says of this change:
That the new name of Bayside will be
just as confusing as the Old one becomes APP
parent when it is considered that there is
another post office of the same name in
Maine, near Lamoine Beach. Unless the
post Office department changes the new
name of NorthpOrt Campground before
summer comes there is bound to be much
confusion and mail matter addressed to one
will go to the other and vice versa. Ac-
| cording to the Bangor post office authorities
it is probable that the department will
hasten to correct the mistake as soon as it
has been made aware of it.
Although the name Bayside is for the
convenience of the postal authorities only
there is no doubt that if the name is allow
ed to stand it will evidently become the
name of the place itself. Such a result will
not be pleasing to many of the older sum-
mer residents, for there are many associa-
tionS connected with the name ''Northport
CampgrouDd" which they don't care to have
broken, but most of them realize that some
thing had to be done to rectify the situation.
