Plans Being Made For One to be Held
 Next Month.
 An important event, and one of un- usual interest to all lovers of choice fruit, will be the New England Fruit Show to bo held in the City of Boston, October 1921, 1909. The project is an outcome of the now famous New England Gov ernors' Conference held last Fall. and the object is to unify and emphasis the importance of the horticultural interests of the six New England States. Already the success of the undertaking is assured. While the interests of the several New England States are to a large extent identical, no effort has been made here tofore to concentrate these interests along any one special line. This the Boston Fruit Show will aim to do. and will show oonclusively shat the possibil- itles of New England agriculture are second to none.
 The premium list of the Show Is nearly ready for distribution, and copies can bo had for the asking by addressing H. O. O. Miles, Milford, Connecticut, the Sec retary of the State Society, or Prendent O. l.. Gold, West Cornwall, who has been appointed President for Con- necticut.
 All who will have any fruit for exhib- ition are requested to communicate at once with either of the above named officials, and full information will be sent them.

PenObScOt Bay Water Co., naming w. L.

corporators to supply the towns of searsport
and Stockton Springs and the city of Belfast,

intended to do under this act unless it is to
consolidate the water companies in the three

Searsport Water Co. outright, and not being
able to get sufficient water supply from
wells, as first proposed, is supplied by the
Stockton Springs Water Co., which draws from
Boyd's pond This pond is said to have suf-
ficient elevation to supply Belfast by the
gravity system, which of course is much cheap
er than pumping Last Thursday Mr.. Bsbee

lions Fought to pass" on the resolve in new

in Abbeville county and this summer lost
three head Of stock - three mules, bis horse
still services.

There Is a Tlmms on the TAX books, but he
only has one horse returned in 1906 for $40,
in 1907 for $50, and in 1908 foz $50, 80 this can.

reglsted prior to Is IS could apply to the Clerk
OF Court for q certificate setting forth the fact
that he had been 80 registered, which oerti-
ficate would entitle the holder to the right to

AppIes Of Gold in Pictures Of Silver.

Away from the Rialto, or a quiet side street
in the city Of Abbeville Ia q little home, in
which with others, two women dwell, on
whose heads has fallen the frost Of many
winters. The elder 80 weak and frail, that
she can only 60 about the home In an in
valid's chair.
On the beautiful mornings these may be
seen in the porch in deep n rapt study. In
the hands Of the younger OF the two Is the
Book Of books from which she reads aloud
g the words OF the Holy writ strike upon
their consciousness the light Of other worlds
beams from their faces. The Holy words
strike home to hearts that are full, to souls
that are alight with Faith, strong in hope and
lovely in Charity. They have fought the
battles of the world and have finished, their
duties are done and they now await the
Great call.
Children play in noisy frolic in the street
but their merry gambols do not interrupt
the deep meditation OF these two souls. They
are wrapped up IN the words of the patriarcns
and prophets, OF the Master and his disciples.
These words are more to them than the gold
OF the West or the precious stones Of the East.
While q thousand hungering souls pass their
door, blushing with youth and bounding
with vigor, their souls nave eaten of that
which satisfieth. Out Of eyes dim with age
scintilate q boundless love and faith, and
while there are wrinkle OF time about their
kindly mouths, yet their lips form in smiles
behind which is the gladness that comes from
another and q better world!
They are opponents Of a religion that no
man can destroy. They are living sermons
fbof pyao oh cfronnar fhon pooofar nf tho mil
pit or the pen. Before these the arguments
Of the unfaithful would fade away like mists
before the morning IN. OF faith. they are
proofs unanswerable, uniathomed, glorious
and FULL.
The days come and go, and age still creeps
upon them, encroaching upon their pleasures
Of this world; but Faith and Hope more than
I'LL the void, and only Joy marks their resig-
nation to the glass and the soythe. Well
might the Old Testament character say:
Let me die the death of the righteous and
let my last end belike his.
What q picture, what q lesson, what ex-
amples of Faith, what answers to the critics
and unfsithful. aye are the light of the
world was not spoken in vain, for from these
two souls enenates q light that Is strong
than the arguments Of spurgeons, brighter
than sparks from the stars OF the pulpit.
Humble In life, proud In soul, small In
egotism, great in altrism; forgetful of self
mindful OF others-they are there, you may
still see them on the beautiful mornings with
the Book, pointing to 'better worlds" and
ready "to lead the way
Probably you have seen this picture, and
as you saw 1t for an instant the answer TO the
great question, why you are here and for what
purpose you are here flashed across your
mental field. Mark the man." They are
apples OF gold in pictures of silver!
