The Ladies Union Of the Baptist

many readers of the Kennebec Journal
are not stranger. met by invitation of
Mrs. George T. Pierce of East Augusta.
Thursday. May II. A. goodly number
was very cordially entertained. 1t was
a jolly industrious crowd. The names
of three new members were enrolled
in the much worn book of the order.
which is worthy of good word for the
work that is being done by the ladies
Tor the help of the church. Those of
the union who were detained at home
missed a fine time and those who do
not belong would do well to join us.
After staying the usual time. from
to O'Clock. while waiting for our
teams and chatting, the party visited
the neat and tidy barn to see the new
arrival, fine, frisky colt, with many
good points that are worthy of its sire.
Then all took reluctant leave of the

INCREASE OF WAGES
GLADDEN. Hearts Of the l., A. & w
Street Railway Employees. ~

The hearts of the several hundred
conductors and motOrmen on the Lew
iston, Augusta & Waterville Street
Railway were gladdened> Wednesda,
when they were officially notified that
Il substantial increase in wages had
been voluntarily voted by the board
Of directors at the last meeting.
This glad news came as a complete
surprise to the men a day before the
regular semi monthly pay day, and as
the new rates will apply from May l
the men will feel the benefits of theil
increased pay almost on the same day
they were notified.
The advance will make an annual in
crease in the payroll of $4,000. The
quality of the conductors and motor
men on the L., A. e. w. Street Rail-
way has been steadily improving since
the new management took hold of the
road and the public was never so wei
pleased with the service as today The
conductors and motormen are more
obliging than formerly. Those who are
cranky and impolite are being dropped
as fast as it is found that their ser
vices are not needed.
This is the second increase made in
the wages of the employees under the
new management--Lewis Journal.

Was AT Home
Cleaning Fish
Still a, Number of Friends Thought
Mr.. Sheets Was
Lost

A rather strenuous joke arose out
of some ordinary circumstances, Fri
day night, when the many friends
of Frank Sheets of the real estate
firm of Payne & Sheets, thought he
was lost and turned out in a body
to hunt for him. All the time Mr..
Sheets was sitting calmly at home,
under his own vine and figtree,
cleaning fish.
Friday Mr.. Sheets and Master Rus
sell Bradley, aged five years, went
a few miles up river in buggy to
fish. Mr.. Sheets left the buggy and
horse in charge of Master Russell,
and went into the trees and under
growth to the stream. Soon after his
departure Master Russell, probably
getting tired waiting, complacently
drove back to Enterprise and
thought nothing about it. In the
meantime Mr. Sheets finding the rig
gone, and surmising that it had
probably been driven back to town,
thought that he would whip the'
stream down, inasmuch as he had
to walk anyway.
In the meantime Mrs. Sheets
shought she would drive back to- get
Mr.. Sheets, but when she arrived
dr. Sheets, being already on his
way down river, could not be found.
BY this time it was dark. Arriv-
ng home before the lone fisher
nan" did, Mrs. Sheets became ,wor-
led. The news spread rapidly.
Night was coming on. The many
rlsnds of Mr.. Sheets began to pic
| ture all sorts of accidents that
night have happened to him. Then
he hunt began. Persons living up
he valley We're telephoned to. And
he upshot of the affair was that
probably 200 persons, out with Ian
terms and hallooing unto the night,
we're hunting for the "lost' man.
81 L. Burnaugh finally thought it
night be well to visit the residence
If Mr.. Sheets again, and did SO.
lie found Mr.. Sheets sitting calmly
IN the kitchen floor cleaning fish.
The mystery was shortly explained
Mr.. Sheets had come in after
lightfall with a good string of trout,
while the "man hunt was going on,
md he was innocent of any turmoil
his absence created. At about, 12
o'clock telephone messages were
sent abroad sufficiently to reach
LII the man hunters and call them
pack to their homes, and-whose
treat is it, anyway?

BIG LOADS OF GOOD
LUMBER COMING IN

AS many as 20 wagon loads of lum-
Ter day are being hauled into En-
terprise from the G. w. Hyatt and
the w. L. Rankin saw mills, north
east of this city. Probably from 10.-
600 to 10000 feet a day are being
hauled in from each mill, and the
mills are still in operation getting out
more.
In an interview with G. w. Hyatt,
that gentleman stated that the mill
at work in their timber would this
year saw probably q million feet.
This with perhaps a half million
feet left last year, will aggregate
100000 feet of good lumber that
will be hauled here from the one
mill alone. While nothing but an
estimate of the output of the Ran
kin mill was ascertained, it is un-
derstood that probably 100000 feet
of lumber for the season will be
hauled from this mill also.'
