The Prescott Family Reunion.

The annual reunion of the Prescott family
was held at the home of Edmund Prescott in
South Liberty, August 18th. Some, after en-
quiring the way several times found that all
roads led to the beautiful hillside home of
Bro Prescott. The day was spent in renewing
cousinship and telling how they got there We
found one brother stranded half way up the
last hill with both tugs broken and each wheel
Of the wagon manned to prevent its backward
movement. While repairs were in progress
our brother was heard to say: II wouldn't live
here if they would give me all could see."
After one of the best of dinners had been
served the boys stumped us old fellows to play
ball. The challenge was accepted and after
playing five innings the score was to T. At
this point all were called to order and prayer
was offered by Rev. E. A. Dinslow. Officers
were then elected as follows: Geo. w. Prescott,
President; F. F. Phillips, Vice President; o. w.
Ripley. Secretary; E. A. Dinslow, Treasurer
Following the election were remarks by sew
eral of the company. Badges with Uncle
Georges picture on them were given out,
which pleased ALL 1t was voted to hold the
next reunion with Rev. E. A. Dinslow in South
Montville, after which all thanked our good
Brother and Sister Prescott for their kindness
to US for the day.-Secretary.

INDEPENDENT BIBLE STUDY.

1t has been announced that class for Bible
study has been organized in this city, one of
the many auxiiaries of the International Bible
Students association, which has been holding
an annual convention in the auditorium at Gel
eron on Chautauqua Lake. It is said to have
been the largest gathering of the kind ever
held in Northern New York, with daily at
tendance averaging from four to six thousand,
with ten thousand on Sunday. Pastor Russell
of Brooklyn Tabernacle is the President of the
International Bible Students Association, and is
also President of the Peoples Pulpit Associa-
ton of New York, President of the Watch
Tower Bible and Tract Society and editor of
The Watch Tower. The Jamestown journal
of August 9Th publishes long interview with
Pastor Russell in which he discusses several
topics of timely interest in connection with
the work. He recently returned from Europe
where he conducted extensive work, and is
planning to make another visit to London at an
early day. He said: Glasses of Bible students
are springing up all over Great Britain outside
of all UNCONVENTIONAL lines. Christians are
reaching better understanding of the Word
of God, and finding it, to their great JOY"

Over in Lewiston candidate Plaisted in
talking with reporter said of the Dem
ocratic meetings: cit is noticeable that
great many in the audience are Repub-
licans.' Did any one ever know of a
Democratic mass meeting, with or with
out band, that was not largely attend
ed by Republicans, or Republican mass
meeting that was not largely attended
by Democrats? If Col. Plaisted is build
ing his hopes of success at the polls in
September on such straws as this he is
dwelling in a FOOLS paradise. He will
find that the Republicans in Kennebec
county who voted for him for sheriff and
for mayor Of Augusta consider a State
election an entirely different proposition,
and that the city and county will both be
found in the Republican column in Sep

The Belfast Qreland) Harbor Boarc
have recommended that that city ex-
pend $500, 600 for dredging the harbor SC
that it will be possible to safely launch
the big White Star Line steamers Olym-
pic and Titanic.
Belfast. Maine, is not in condition tc
make such an appropriation, nor is it
necessary, as this work devolves upon
the general government but It is up to
Belfast, Maine, to move in the matter
that ar appropriation may be secured
from Congress to do the dredging in this
harbor so much needed. A year or two
ago the Eastern Steamship Co. expended
50, 100 in dredging about it's wharf at
this port, and now the main channel
needs attention, and should hale it.

What - means 10 elect Democratic
county officials is illustrated by this
statement Of the Bangor Daily News
concerning conditions in Penobscot eoun-
~: "Never in either party. in any county
IN Maine, were there such chronic OBJ
stscles TO the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory laws m Maine as can be shown
from thu records of Sheriff White and
County Attorney Thompson in Penobscot
county" In view of this fact it is not
surprising that prominent Republicans
of Bangor and Penobscot county are
taking a very cheerful view of the po-
litical situation. In Bangor and in the
county towns a very decided change in
sentiment has teen observed of late, and
the Republicans are all hopeful, many
of them confident, of the success of their
ticket this year.

Pattanpall on the stlmn will hardly h,

Pattangall on the stump will hardly be
taken seriously. His conversion to
Democracy is so recent that many will
recall the time when he was expound-
ing Republican doctrine with equal
fiuency. He has always been more or
less addicted to joking, and no doubt
often laughs in his sleeve at the guilt
bility of some of his hearers. More than
any other one man he is responsible for
he killing of Gardner and the nominal
ton of Plaisted, and which the Democ-
racy will find very serious joke. His
ca mpaign speciality just now is the Eek
travagance" issue. One specimen of his
misrepresentation will suffice The at
terney generals salary, he said, is 81, 900,
and fsgl.erly it was 1880. ''Now we
are paying more than twice as much and
in addition are paying for an assistant,
whose salary is 81, 746." But Mr.. Pat
tangall neglected to state that when the
salary was 81, 500 the attorney general
also received the fees, amounting to
many thousand dollars yearly, and for
which no account was made or required.
1t was, however, generally understood ia
be. the most profitable Office in the State.
Tie act of 1905 that raised the salary
from $500 to 81, 900 also required that
all the fees of the Office should be turned
over tu-the treasurer of State, and from
the State treasurer's report for 1909 il
appears that the receipts of fees from
the attorney generals Office were So, 407..

men, and representative citizens of both
political parties were selected to welcome
them. But how is it that when two lead
ers of the mayors own party, one the
Democratic candidate for governor, come
to Belfast to hold public meeting, pre-
viously advertised, the mayor is given no
part in the program, has no place on the
platform; in fact, is utterly ignored.
Evidently the leaders of his own party
do not regard the mayor as represeu-
tative citizen or desire his company in
public.
1t probably will not surprise any one
to learn that Col. Plaisted has accepted
the Democratic nomination for governor.
Although he has been on the stump a
week or two asking people to vote for
him it only occurred to him last week.to
write and publish letter of acceptance.
It is largely rehash of his now familiar
stump speeches, but virtually admits
that he cannot be elected without the
aid of Republicans, and as he assumes
that every Republican who goes to a
Democratic meeting intends voting for
him, he feels that he is as good as
elected. When the votes are counted
he will realize his mistake. The people
of Maine want business man, sue
cessful business man, at the head of
affairs, and not tin soldier.

Inc value u IHe ice business IN the
development of New England industries
is not to be measured today by the great
frozen caches of the ice barons that rise
along the quiet green banks of the Ken
nebec, nor by the ships and barges in
Penobscot Bay that bear to the South a
heavier load of ice than ever numbered
school of navigation.
This paragraph from recent editorial
in the Boston Transcript relates to con-
ditions that do not now exist and that
have not existed for many years. There
are no shipments of ice now from Maine
to the South and they were never made
in ships or barkentines. The building in
Belfast of what was known as the Jack
sonville fleet of three-masted schooners,
Of from IT'S to 300 tons, was begun in the
late sixties and continued in the 7O's.
They were centerboard craft, as there
was not much water on Jacksonville bar
in those days. They carried outward
cargoes of ice and hay and brought back
hard pine for the shipyards. After a
time the West began shipping hay to
Jacksonville by rail, artificial ice drove
Maine ice out of the market, and the
decline of the shipbuilding industry
brought this trade between Belfast and
Jacksonville to an end. Some of the
fleet continued in the Southern lumber
trade, bringing cargoes to New York,
making an occasional trip to the home
port with coal.
The advent of the American ice COM
pany was the final blow to the Maine ice
business. They got control of the ice
houses and privileges on the Kennebec
and Penobscot, and when ice makes on
the Hudson they do not cut a pound in
Maine, and when they do cut the ship
ments are mainly, if not wholly, to New
York. There are only two independent
ice companies in this vicinity, one at
Sargentville, which ships mainly to Bal
timore, and one at Rockport, which ships
to the West Indies. At both these places
ice is cut every season and finds market.

There appears to be a decided differ
ence between talking for publication and
the opinions expressed in private CONVEX
sation. We see in print political predic-
tons from people who have made state
ments in conversation Numerically op-
posite. A few days ago Belfast man
met on train one of the Democratic tri-
unlvirate that downed Obadiah Gardner
and nominated Plaisted, and in the
course of conversation this Democratic
boss spoke approvingly Of the enlarg-
ment and improvement of the State
House and expressed the opinion that
our State officials were inadequately
paid. Yet this man will go on the stump
to declaim against what he will declare
to be Republican extravaganza. This
fairly illustrates the hollowness and in
sincerity of the Democratic campaign
cry. 1t must also be remembered that
the Democrats in the last legislature
voted for the appropriations they are
now declaring to be extravagant, and
when asked today as to whether they
would cut down the appropriations for
schools, for hospitals, for good roads,
for the blind or the feeble minded, they
make no reply. The Democratic cam
paign is campaign of false pretences.
