stops the cough and heals lungs
A NEW MAINE BOOK.
Old Hallowell on the Kennebec by Mr..
Emma Huntington Mason.

Oid HdlloWell on the kennebec by Mrs
Emma Huntington Mason.
Old Hallowell on the Kennebec is the
title of the new work of Emma Hunting
ton Mason, volume of $50 pages, en-
belllshed with ga illustrations. The old
town, whose origin is traced back to the
Pilgrims of cd Plymouth and the bust
ness enterprise ''of Edward Winslow,
who with six of ye olde standards came
to trade with the Indians on the banks
of the Kennebec. This was in 1925,
from which time Mrs. Mason shows a
continuity OF occupation and title until
the desolation caused by King Philips
war and Its succeeding years of woe, of
jesuit and Indian terrorism and destruc-
ton, and the subsequent settlement upon
the lands secured through the Plymouth
colony; thus claiming, for Old Hallowell,
from ''veritable record" the pioneer
parentage of the Pilgrim Fathers.
1t is not claimed for the book by it's
author that it is history. 1t is, rather,
series of interesting and instructive
sketches of historic incidents and the
older and more prominent families which
have made the section famous
The first chapter, Ancient Kousslnok,
gives an entertaining account of the
Abenaki Indians of the river and intro
duces the very pretty lyric of the author,
An Abenaki Lullaby.
The book is written in the lucid and at
tractive style with which Mrs. Mason is
gifted and the number of notable people,
events and occurrences of popular con-
Germ treated of in its pages, as of old
Hallowell origin, will surprise the gener-
al reader. Not the least interesting
part of the book is the graphic descrip-
lions of the interior of several of the old
colonial homes of the town-veritable
museums Of the rare furnishings and
decorations of the better class houses of
early times in this, the foremost settle
ment of the Kennebec.
A very great attraction, especially for
those whose ancestors were Hallowell
people, is the excellent and numerous il
Illustrations. The book was printed in
Augusta, part Of Old Hallowell. This
was most fitting as Hallowell was long
center Of book publishing and this its
latest work in that kind is one for which
its predecessors have no reason to blush.
The work is credit to Maine authorship
and Maine bookmaking.

OBITUARY.

The many friends of Mrs. Sarah Field,
widow of the late Ambrose B. Field,
were greatly shocked Tuesday evening
to learn of her demise, which occurred
very suddenly December 14th. She was
over 80 years of age. Mrs. Field had
complained during the day of not feeling
well and physician was called to attend
her, but her condition was not adiudged
serious. Late in the afternoon she lay
down on a couch and apparently went to
sleep. About 515 O'Clock, an attempt
was made to awaken her and it was
found that she had passed peacefully
away. Mrs. Field, who was Miss Sarah
Bates, was born in Belfast. Her early
married life was passed in Searsport, and
she removed, with her husband, to this
city SO years ago to make her home
Since the death of her husband she has
resided with her daughter, Mrs. John F.
Woodman, who has given her every care
and attention. Mrs. Field celebrated
her S0th birthday anniversary last week,
the occasion being memorable one with
all her children and grandchildren about
her. Of quiet and modest tastes, Mrs.
Field was greatly beloved by all who
knew her and her death will be sincerely
felt by wide circle Of acquaintance.
She was member of the Advent church
and a constant attendant at it's services.
Mrs. Field was survived by two sons,
Charles E. and Albert S. Field, a daugh-
ter, Mrs. John F. Woodman, several
grandchildren, one of whom is Mrs. E.
B. Sanger, all of this city. The funeral
was held Friday afternoon at 2 O'Clock,
at the residence of Hon. John F. Wood
man. Bangor Commercial.
The funeral of Mrs. Nancy B. Smith
was held at her home in West Brooks
vile, December LIST, Rev. G. w. Patter-
son, pastor of the Congregational church
at Castine, officiating. A quartet COM
posed of Mrs. John Farnham, Mrs. Bar
ker Blodgett, Irving Cousins and Jerome
P. Tapley sang. The floral tributes
were beautiful. Interment was at the
church cemetery. Mrs. Smith, widow
OF James Smith, was a native and life
long resident of West Brooksville. She
was the daughter of John and Louisa
(Bowden) Lord. She is survived by
three daughters and two sons-Mrs
Edgar Douglass, of Penobscot; Mrs.
Angler w. Tapley, of Portland; Mrs
Charles Turner, Of Philadelphia; William
Smith, of Bangor, and Robert Smith of
Brewer; also by three brothers-Sewall
Lord, of Bath; Newton S. Lord, of Bel
fast, and Edwin Lord of Brooksville.
William A. R. Boothby of Waterville,
well known in insurance circles in Maine
and Boston, died December 18th at the
Boothby hospital, Boston, at the age of
So. He was taken suddenly i'll in
Boston December 10th and did not rally
from an operation which was performed
Mr.. Boouhby was brother of COL F. E.
Boothby, general passenger agent of the
Maine Central railroad, and was born in
Waterville, and as young man engaged
in the insurance business in Boston.
Two years ago he removed to Waterville,
where he acted as special agent in Maine

FREEDOM.

Mr.. c. E. Knowlton was in Belfast on busi-
ness December 18th
The A. A. A. club met with Mrs. Hattie
Wiggin last Saturday evening
Rev. J. Burford Parry and Mrs. Parry called
on friends in Thorndke December 18th
Professor C. E. Richardson will spend Christ
mas with Mr.. Richardson's parents in Strong.
Mrs. Olive Stewart, matron of the girls
dormitory, visited friends in Belfast the past
week.
Mr.. Albra E. Flye from Brighton, Mass, is
passing his vacation with his mother, Mrs. S.
J. Flye.
There were no services at the church last
Sunday morning on account of the organist
being sick.
Prof. c. E. Richardson solicited funds for a
gymnasium building the past week and met
with very good success.
The church circle met with Mrs. D. W.
Dodge last Thursday afternoon and tackled
comfortable. A goodly number was present, a
fine treat was served, and the afternoon was
greatly enjoyed.
Friday evening, DecenSer 18th, the K P's
and Juanita Temple held debate in their hall
The question for discussion was: Resolved,
That the present system of school manage
ment is better than the old district system:
affirmative, Effe Flye and Bertha Bryant; neg
alive, Charles Wentworth and E. A. Vose
Mr.. F. D. Flye is doing thriving business,
as look into his shop will testify. He has a
large stock of parlor heaters, ranges, etc., and
the largest stock of other goods ever seen in
Freedom village. He has large supply of
Christmas things consisting of jewelry, gold
and sterling, and a large stock of clocks and
watches. Freedom is surely coming to the
front. The meat market is as good as you can
find in Waldo county. There is nothingi in the
meat line but what you can obtain in the mar
ket, and both stores have all they can do. 1t
is very pleasing to the citizens of Freedom to
see business reviving. What Freedom village
is greatly in need of at the present time is
more houses to rent, as there are several fami-
lies who would like to move in. Having such
good school privileges no doubt calls good
many.

Fifth Avenue Coffee

You pay more for half-roasted coffee than
you would pay for Fifth Avenue" Coffee For
half-roasted coffee is half raw. And raw
coffee yields no strength or flavor.
That is why ordinary coffee is weak and
colorless. Why it has a weedy iusipid taste
and weak aroma.
In Fifth Avenue" Coffee you get all the
Jnper6 flavor and generous strength of rich
fruity berries roasted to perfection.
Thus the superiority of Fifth Avenue"
Coffee lies not only in its fragrance. 1t lies
