DR.. Hunt of Bangor was called last Sun
day to pay second visit to Miss Hattie
Work, who was considered to be in crit
ical condition. The Doctor came here in
his auto, performed secondary operation
for the healing of the wound, and left with
the encouragement that she would come
out all right. She has, however, been very
dangerously ILL.,
What might have been a serious accident
was happily averted last Sunday. Mr.. Nc

riding through our village were placed in
very dangerous position by the fright of
their horse from an automobile which they

every indication of intended fairness to all
concerned. Our people were fortunate in

this subject By special invitation he will

subject also he should be able to give an in

after the arrival of the train from Belfast
will convince one that Brooks is quite an
important center for the collection of live
stock from the surrounding country. f. L.
Libby and Mark Pease are shipping quite a
quantity of live stock from here to Brigh-
ton. The shipments of hogs are a rather
new but important feature IF the business.
While they prefer to buy the very best OF
stock yet they open the way for the dispO-
sal of some that are rough and unstable to
the general trade, for they have market
for everything at some price.
