Canaan Grange PAYS Visit.

Members of Canaan Grange to the
number of rs were guests of Skowhe-
gan Grange last evening, the event
being made red letter night in the
history OF the local order. The Off
GERS of the visiting Grange filled the
chairs and conferred the Sd and 4th
degrees in admirable form. OF this
it may be said that in point of cos
tunes and properties, elaborateness
of detail and precision of all parts of
the work, its equal has NJ teen wit
messed here since the dag of Show
hegan Grange auxiliary team, which
had state wide and. even national
reputation. Following the degree
work, the local Grange presented an
entertainment program, in which
was given song by the Grange
choir, "Be Happy Tonight, Good
Changers" recitation by Fred Rich
ardson, entitled, "Them Summer
Boarders;" farce entitled, ga Tour
ney at Truth Telling" and a march
and drill.
The cast of characters for the farce
was as follows:
Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin, recently married,
Mr. and Mrs. George Burns.
Rev. DIR. Eaton, n clergyman of profound
sane tity, Albert W. Smiley.
Mrs. Eaton, wife Of the clergyman, equally
deyout, Mrs. Clara w. Eaton.
Mary, domestic servant In the Marvin
home, Mrs. Flora Dealey
The plot of the farce brought in an
agreement between Mr.. and Mrs.
Marvin that the absolute truth should
be spoken in their home, and the first
one detected in variation from this
rule should be debarred from finding
any fault with the other for a period
of one year. This scheme led to
many amusing situations and humor-
GUS dialogue and each part was SO
cleverly taken that the entertainment
proved absolutely ideal for visitors
evening.
The march and tableaus, given by Is
ladies of Skowhegan Grange, was one
of the most beautiful of the many
beautiful drills given here by local
and visiting Patrons of Husbandry.
The plan was to spell out the words,
"WELCOME p of n" and these letters
were formed by tableaus, which were
introduced by march which was al
so interspersed between the letters.
The idea was most appropriate one
for visitors evening and its execution
constituted most delightful form of
entertainment for visitors and guests
alike The address of welcome was
given, on behalf of Skowhegan
Grange, by John w. Fogler and this
was responded to by Geo. Foster of
Canaan Grange.
At the close of the exercises in the
main hall the entire company ad-
journed to the banquet room where
a splendid cold meat and salad supper
was served by section G, in charge Of
Mr.. and Mrs. II. N. Pratt, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Linwood Nutting, and Mr.. and
Mrs. G. S. Robinson.

years. He had been in poor health

the Salute and the song the emblem
saluted was held by Miss Gail Chap
man, who took her position at the
right and little in front of the line.
The children closed their part of the
program by singing Hail to the
Land" with a piano accompaniment
played by Miss Harris, and then
marched in careful. order to their
seats in the auditorium. The songs
are those which they have used in
school exercises to some extent and
they had also had one rehearsal
under Mr.. Harris direction on the
opera house stage. The music is
quite difficult for such youthful
singers but they carried it through
splendidly aud were loudly applauded.
The quartet then rendered the
song, "Memories Sacred and Grand, .

Mrs. Emma H. Dunton and Mrs. G
N. Bragg. The platform also showed
decorations dear to the soldiers
heart. Pictures of Lincoln, Grant
and Sheridan, tents with stacks OF
arms nearby, flags and flowers. The
audience filed in after the marching
line and practically every seat in the
auditorium was occupied, indicating
an attendance Of about 1000.
Post Commander Smith called the
meeting to order and prayer was
offered by the Rev. Geo. Merriam,
pastor of the Bethany Church. The
band then gave selection and this
was followed by the reading Of
orders, the "Roll of Honor" (namos
of veterans buried in the various
Skowhegan cemeteries, given in full
elsewhere) and the reading of Lin
coins Gettysburg Address, by S. Nj.
Sawyer, Adjutant of Russell Post.
Then came brief reply as required
by the Grand Army ritual, given by
the Post Commander, after which
the quartet above named sang "Then
Gather Flowers" Hon. Fl. Z. Web
ster of Damariscotta was then intro
duced and gave the Grafton, more
extended notice of which is given
elsewhere. Following the address a
song, "On the Battlefield of Gettys-
burg" was sung by Webster G..
Reyes, with accompaniment played
by Mrs. A. B. Borden. Then came
the part taken by the children, al
ways deeply interesting and i'm
pressive. These little people, about
so in number, pupils of the sixth and
seventh grades, Garfield building,
had been seated together near the
north stage entrance. At the proper
moment, under direction of Elmer E.
Harris, who had them in charge,
they rose and proceeded to the
stage, timing their movements to a
march played upon the piano by
Miss Faith Harris, IS years of age
Each carried flag in the right hand
and, after forming in line they gave
the "Salute to the Flag" repeating
in unison, with the gestures which
constitute the salute, the following
words:
1--WE give our head, our heart,
to our God and our country.
One country, one language, one

The Salute to the Flag was fol-
lowed by the "Flag Song" During

Some County Matters.

County Commissioners, Geo. 7.
Tibbetts Of Hinckley, Henry Crowel
Of skowhegan and Granville D. Per-
kins of Madison held the regular
monthly meeting Of the board at the
Courthouse, Tuesday. Among the
matters taken up we're the proposed
bridge at Scion and the purchasing
Of coal for the county buildings.
The Scion Emblem bridge was pro-
yided for by act Of legislature at its
last session, the state appropriating
10000 for the purpose, conditioned,
however, upon the appropriating Of
5000 by the county and the raising Of
such further sum as might be neces
sary by the towns Of Scion and Emb-
den. Hon. A. F. DonDigan Of Bing-
ham, DR. s. F. Greene Of Scion, J. W.
MORN Of Emblem and several other
distinguished citizens Of that section
OF the county appeared before the
commissioner il relation to the mat
ter.
Three SkOwhegan dealers, s. ".
could, the Lewis Coal Company, and
i c. "A. Ross submitted bids for the
years supply of coal, 150 tons, for the
Courthouse and Jail. The contract
was finally awarded to Chas. A. Ross.
The commissioners left for Bing-
ham in the afternoon and Yesterday
morning held meeting in the east
erly part OF that town on the matter
of relocating small portion of the
Lake road, SO called. They returned
to Bingham at noon and yesterday
afternoon set out to view the location
Of the road which has been petitioned
for from Bingham through Pleasant
Ridge to Dead River. This proposed
location involves about u miles of
new road and the entire route was TO
be inspected by the commissioners.
The three members OF the board
planned TO pass the rest Of the week
IN the annual inspection of roads in
the Dead River region.
Next week the commissioners will
give a hearing at Bingham on Mon
day, with reference TO the Bingham
Dead river road They will then
leave for Northern Somerset to in
spect the roads in that section, and
on Thursday, June 10th, they will
give hearing at Jackman on the
Long Pond road petition.

A Handsome Store.

Skowhegan people like to think
that the stores of their town are the
equal or little better than in other
towns and cities of the state, and in
nearly all lines they have good war
rant for such opinion.
In the refitting of the Philbrick
jewelry store, together with the sur
planting of the counter style of show
cases for the "ready salesman" styles
adds but another to the fine stores of
which, we, as citizens take a great
pride and all who have seen it are
profuse in their congratulations to
the proprietor, Mr.. John r. Philbrick,
for the excellent taste in which the
changes and improvements have
been carried out.
The business now carried on was
founded by the late George Philbrick,
father of the present proprietor, in
1862, so that it is now in its 9th year
of conduct in the same family name,
Mr.. j. R. Philbrick becoming the sole
proprietor by the retirement of his
father in 1900.
The store in it's new fittings pre-
sents an arrangement of mahogany
floor and wall cases which are we'll
nigh perfect for the storing and dis
play of goods. The case facing the
entrance is built on handsome curve
and other cases lead from it toward
the rear, the center of the floor area
being thus occupied. About 40 feet
back from the entrance an upright
case, filed with cut glass ware,
divides the front from the rear por-
ton of the store except for doorways
on the right and left hand. in which
hang portieres of velour in mahogany
color to harmonic with the fixtures.
! The left entrance just mentioned ad =
mits to the optical room, which is
arranged and equipped after the most
approved method for eye examina-
ton and the fitting of lenses, and the
entrance on the right communicates
with store room and general work
room. The benches at which the
hand engraving and watch repairing
are done, OF which there are two. are
situated just back of the street dis
play windows. Each is in a little
room of its own, completely parti-
toned from the rest of the store.
Mr.. Philbrick should, and doubtless
does, look forward to many years OF
business, amid surroundings which
are perfect for the convenience OF
| himself and his customers.

As Memorial Day, May Both, fell on
Sunday this year, the various Grand
Army Posts had the opportunity to
elect whether Saturday or Monday
should be observed, some choosing
the former and some the latter date.
In this, Russell Post was most fortu-
nate as Saturday proved cold and
rainy, especially in the forenoon,
while Monday was all but perfect in
its weather conditions.
Members of Russell Post with
visiting veterans, members of the
Relief Corps, Sons of Veterans, and
honorary members of the Post,
formed in line and issued from Grand
Army hall at about lis. Company
