There were few preparations to
make. Captain Harrod led the way,
easterly alongshore to spot where
the scrub grew well down toward
the beaten beach A long square
hewn timber lay half-rotted and
sunk in the sand; and on this, like
persons striving to conceal their
trail, they walked back between
clumps of dark green rosemary,
over a low place in the dunes, down
to the dry, hard bottom of a former
pool, under thicket of scrub oaks

with foam, like white plumes on

Carson's landjno,

CHAPTER III.
Carson's Landing.
1t has always been a point of
genealogical dispute as to whether
or not Theodore Carson's father
was of kin to the founder of the
old Carson place up Fish river. 1t
was one Of those controversies in
which, one side is supposed to be
trying to climb, the other to be
oblivious of the climbing, and both
are in position of peculiar deli
cacy from the fact that they are
all Americans, and disbelievers in
anything like inherited RAW.
General Carson, in his lean
years, used to sell tL\pentine to
his namesake at the dingy ship
chandlery on the wharf near the
Eslava street oyster dock On
these commercial occasions, the
general, when mellowed by juleps,
with his foot on the brass rail and
his elbows on the bar, used to
call the ship-chandler cousin" At
other times, however, he made no
bones of his opinion that the Mo-
bile CarsOnses were damned COM
mon people, and branded as impu-
dent any fool claim of kinship be-
tween the humble tradesman and
the Carsonses of Marengo county.
The ship-chandler was too proud
to make any claims, but privately
believed in the kinship theory; and
when the general died, having lost
his Marengo estates in trying to
breed the one-fifty trotter. it was
discovered that he owed the ship
chandler on mortgage more than
the value of the Fish river planta-
ton, which passed to the rejected
branch of the Carsonses. Theo-
dore's father, delighted to have
come into what he felt to be his
own, rode his horse through the
cut-over waste clinging to the
horses name and feeling like a
rightful heir reinstated; and &C
cepting the obligation to restore
the glories Of the family, he en-
barked SO unreservedly and un-
skilfully upon the development of
cotton plantation according to
the generals plans, that Theodore
fell heir, at his fathers death, to
nothing but this waste of second
growth pine, scarcely self-sustain-
ing, and a policy of life insurance,
which he invested in such educa-
ton as he most desired, a combi-
nation of electrical engineering
and mechanics. He was a little
bitter sometimes as he recalled
the phantoms, the pursuit of which
had ruined two successive owners
OF the estate the generals breed
ing maggot and his fathers curl
GUS pride in mere, name. Where
upon he gave chase to a phantom
of his own, with what success we
shall see, and followed what his
friends called rainbow. with such
true Carson enthusiasm that when
he left Virginia Suarez on the dock
at Strongs Bayou, on that sandy,
deliciously dreamy, southern shore
of Mobile bay, he steered through
the night for a house very nearly
dismantled, on an estate growing
up to persimmon thickets, dew
berry beds and palmetto slashes,

Meeting of Waldo County Veterans.

The Waldo County Veteran Association met
in the Grange hall, Whites Corner, February
3rd. The travelling was hard and it was rather
a bad day yet there was large gathering.
The forenoon was taken up in renewing old
acquaintance and forming some new ones, as
we always do in itinerating over the county.
It is one of the pleasures of our lives to meet
comrades and talk over the days and scenes of
81 65. At noon the old veterans fell into line
and marched into the dining roorn where the
good people of Winterport had prepared a
feast fit for king. The afternoon meeting
was called to order by the secretary and in the
absence of the president he called Comrade
Bachelor to preside. Prayer was offered by
Mrs. Belle J. Palmer, followed by singing by
the choir, reading the records of the last meet
ing, address of welcome by Dora White and re-
sponse by A. Stinson. Invitations were ex-
tended from 7. H. Marshall Post, Belfast, and
E. L. Warren Post, Winterport, to hold the next
meeting, and as the association had not met with
Warren Post for twelve years it was voted to
meet in Winterport March 10th; if stormy, the
next fair day. Northern Light Grange was
also invited. A vote was taken, and carried,
to change the meeting from the first to the
second Thursday of the month. Geo. H.
Fisher moved that the association endorse the
candidacy of J. w. Webster, now chaplain of
the Department of Maine, G. A. R., for De-
partment Commander, and the vote was unani-
nous. The pupils of the Whites Corner school
came into the hall and gave very fine drill
and nearly all responded when called upon.
They gave very fine program. Mr.. Martin,
superintendent of schools, Winterport, gave
very interesting talk on the brown tail moth,
specimens of which he had on exhibition
Next came remarks by the old comrades,
Crockett, Stinson, Ritchie, Fisher and others.
A vote of thanks was extended to Northern
Light Grange and to all who helped make the
meeting success.-Secy.

Last week mention was made of book on
cement construction by Belfast author; and
this week, through the courtesy of the Ken
nebec journal, we are enabled to present pic
ture OF the first cement house built in Belfast.
The builder, Mr. Frank H. Hoag, is mason,
and an expert in that line; and he is also a
blacksmith, carpenter or a boatbuilder, if
occasion requires. Some years ago he built a
hve-ton schooner, designing the model, max
ing the moulds and doing the necessary black
smith work as well as the framing, planking,
etc. In building the house on Bayview street
which he is now occupying he performed all
the labor himself with the exception of a few
days work excavating for the cellar
The structure is 1Sx24 feet, with nine foot
posts, and is SO arranged as to have six good
sized rooms and bath, besides several good
closets The house is built on the side of a
grade and, although from the street it looks
like one-story house, it has practically three
floors. The building stands on ledge and the
ground floor is of solid cement. The outside
walls are of cement, put on in the following
manner: The studding is lathed, with joints
oAoheii az eaSh idtIl, ana over thlS, with nall
inch space, is placed ordinary chicken wire.
The first or scratch coat Of cement was forced
through the wire to the lathing, and over this
was placed heavy coat of cement and the
whole covered with a waterproof cement
paint. The gables are of cement put on to
represent shingles. The roof is covered with
cement to represent slate. The finish around
the doors and windows is of cement, and the
chimney is of cement, reinforced with iron.
The house is painted tan color, with brown

form of a hollow square, in accordance with
the wish of the bride that all the guests might
be seated with the bridal party. Boston red
buds were used upon the table and a wheel of
red from which hung multitude of tiny red
hearts was suspended from the center of the
room. The place cards were painted in water
colors in a variety of designs, the prevailing
note of color being crimson. Only relatives
