Martha, made brief visit in Belfast last Fri
day.
The good rain which has been SO long needed
came last Sunday. 1t is hoped that it was il
season to save the corn and potato crop ane
also the gardens.
Frank Mussey, who is building good-sizet
potato house, will also have roomy store
house when the job is completed Alonzo D
Jackson is doing the carpenter work and is
rushing the job.
Mrs. Nina Ross went to Newport last week
for brief stay and during her visit there she
chaperoned party of young ladies to Camp
Benson. The trip was delightful and the occa-
sion very pleasant to all.
It is reported that DR.. J. E. Cook will be
obliged to retire from business on account OF
Illness DR.. Trueworthy from Dixmont is think
ing strongly Of locating here, but has not been
able to secure rent as yet.
Charlie Fowlers daughter Mary, who under
went an operation for appendicitis at her home
last week, is getting along finely. DR.. Twitch-
ell from Portland, assisted by DR.. J. E. Cook
performed the operation.
Mrs. Carr died last week at Windermere
Park, at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs.
Guy Clifford, who is spending the summer there
Her sudden death came as shock to her
friends The funeral was held at the church
and was well attended. Although she was a

Nearly all of the Josiah H. Drummond Chap

McCauslin & Stone August Goth. Although
there was sudden drop in the market price
the farmers continued hauling and they loaded
smooth, pretty Green Mountain and Cobbler
potatoes. Evidently a fair price out of the

the cellar.
The people in this community was consider
ably stirred up over the death of George Cros-
by, who committed suicide by hanging himself
early last Sunday evening. He was over SO
years of age and unmarried. For several years
he lived on a farm, but last spring he sold out

Percy and Frank. He was stopping with Frank
at this time, and as he did not come to his sup
per as usual, they began searching for him and
found his body hanging by rope to rafter in
the barn. A letter was found on his person

to be in good health and no reason for his tax
ing his own life is ascribed.
Mrs. Dudley Clark died last week at her
home after long illness. She suffered shock
