MORRILL,.
The meeting of the Waldo County Veter.
an Association, held here last Thursday, was
a great success. The church was filed to
overlooking. The program, from first to last.
was listened to by the large audience with
intense interest. The school children, led
by their teacher, Mrs. Frank Hall, marched
from the schoolhouse to the church, Justin
Merriam playing march for them on his
cornet. AS they marched through the vestry
and up the aisle of the church the audience
arose, while the organ, played by Miss Ber-
tina Hatch, greeted them on their way to the
platform, where, with flags waving, they
sang the "Red White and Blue" AS the
meeting will, doubtless, be fully reported IN
The Journal we will leave it to the reporter.

NORTHPORT.
Several weeks have passed since this COM
munity was so profoundly shocked by the
untimely death by drowning of Capt.
Charles E. Rhoades, whose vessel capsized
off Rockport Oh the afternoon of April 10Th,
bound for Rockland, that some kindly men
ton should be made of such well known
and respected citizen. We therefore pay this
simple tribute to him not only as a personal
friend but because we believe he is deserv-
ing of more than a passing notion. AS citl-
zen, friend and neighbor, he was highly
respected and esteemed by everybody, both
old and young, and his acquaintance ex-
tended far beyond the confines of his ma
tive State, especially in maritime circles.
Capt. Rhoades was born in Northport June
9, 1887, the youngest child of Charles and
Sabrina (Brackett) Rhoades,a land of family
of four children only one is living, Mrs. AL
malta Stafford of Rock land At the early age
of nine years he began seafaring life as
cook of small vessel carrying wood to
Rockland With natural instinct for the
sea he quickly won his way up to be first
officer and then commander of as fine
as sailed the sea at that
period. For forty years OF more his home
was on the ocean, and 1t hardly seems
strange that in it he should find sepulcher.
Visiting nearly every quarter of the globe,
his sea yarns, told in his quaint and salty
style, were very interesting as well as en-
Fifteen years ago he retired
from active duty as a mariner and settled
down on the old home place. He erected a
neat and attractive home, and hoped to
spend his declining years in the enjoyment
of a serene and easy life with his loved and
devoted wife, and more happy and con-
tented home would be difficult to find. = But
amid all these pleasant surroundings he
longed to again travel the quarter deck, and
a year ago he bought the sch. Lizzie and
made frequent trips to Rockland. SO sud
den and unexpected came the news of his
fate everybody was dazed and could not,
and do not now, realize the sad reality
What crushing blow to the wife, what
anguish of soul! what agony of heart, can
only be conceived by those who have passed
through like ordeal For several days it
was doubtful if she could survive the shock,
but time, the great healer of the most poign-
ant sufferings, is dealing kindly with her
and she is bravely coming out from the
shadow of her great grief. Many years ago
Capt. Rhoades joined King David's Lodge,
of Masons. He received his demit from
that lodge and in 1869 he, with others, be-
came charter member of Excelsior Lodge
Of this place. lie always took great inter-
est in the growth and welfare of the Lodge
and was very constant in his attendance at
the meetings. His presence will be greatly
missed, land in due time, when all hopes have
fled of the recovery of his body, memorial
services will be held in memory of him as
brother whom all the brethren deeply
cherished and now sincerely mourn.....Mr.
and Mrs. p. C. Blaisdell and daughters are
at their cottage ON Northport CampgrOund
for the season, and Mr.. Blaisdell will have
his launch, the Ellie, in commission this
week. .. Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. Bangs of
Augusta are at their cottage at Temple
Heights to remain until November. -. Miss
Abbie Batchelder has arrived from Boston
to spend the summer with her parents,
Capt, and Mrs. A. c. Batchelder, at Satur-
day Cove. Mrs. j. w. Brown of Washing
ton, D. c., has opened her cottage on Bay
View Park, Northport Campground, for the
