Eta A., wife of c. D. Davis of Brooks, died
at their home March Goth, aged 6s years. She
was without doubt one of the most Industrious
women of this town. We well remember her
bilious to excel in her vocation. Later she
was in Boston for some years, and then came
back and married Mr.. Davis and settled on the
farm where the remainder of her life was
spent. She leaves one son, Fred D., student

resident of jackson, where he died March 16,
1910, was born in Brewer, Maine, April 10, 1874
He had been an invalid for many years as the
result of his army service and his death was
due to general breaking down of his system
from those troubles. The funeral was held at
the Congregational church in Jackson. The
sermon was by Rev. David Bracket, who was
assisted in the services by Rev. F. S. Doliff A
special feature of the services was a song by
W. 5. Jones, by request BURY me with my G.
A. K. Badge pinned on my breast" The servi-
ces were under the direction of Geo. G. Davis
Post G. A. R., of Brooks, of which the deceased
was member, and the bearers were VIM. c..
Rowe, True P. Cilley, John Johnson and A. H.
Rose, members of the Post. The deceased
took great interest in the Waldo County Vet
eran Association and attended their meetings
whenever he was able. 1t was one of his most
cherished pleasures to meet with his comrades
and talk over the stirring scenes of the Civil
War. There was profuson of flowers at the
funeral, and among them were pillow with
the word Husband from the wife; crescent with
the word Father from the sons; basket of flow
ers from his sister, Mrs. Hamlin; large pillow.

! and cared for him in his last sickness. He was
essentially domestic man, and the education
of his sons and their advancement in life was
an object very dear to him. He was well in
formed upon local and general matters and
took much interest in the prosperity of Brooks,
as well as in that of Jackson

NORTH BELFAST. Plans are being matured
to make changes in the church at Head of the
Tide 1t is proposed to raise the building five
feet and build vestry under it. The space
thus formed will be divided into kitchen, a
small side room and large main room, to be
used for dining room and for other purposes
when needed. Memorial windows are to be
put into the main building in place of the win
dows now there. The entrance will be in the
center of the front end by double doors where
stairways on the right and left will lead to the
auditorium above, and center staircase to the
vestry below. The above cut is a fair repre-
sentation of how the building will appear when
completed. The building committee consists
of W. S. Hatch, James E. Wing, George A.
Collins, Eli c. Merriam, E. W. Wiley and W.

WEDDING BELLS.

Monroe -RAcKLIFFE. A very quiet wedding
occurred at the home of Mr.. and Mrs, Charles
Cleveland in Camden Wednesday evening,
April 9Th, at o'clock, when Frederick Monroe
of Lincolnville and Florence Rackliffe of Cam

hook. The single ring service was used. The

flowers. The bride was dressed in white batiste
Following the ceremony refreshments were
served. The couple were attended by T. D.
Monroe, a brother of the groom, and Miss
Agnes Norton. The bride has been a resident
of Camden for about two years and by her
charming manners and pleasant disposition
made host of friends. The groom is well

are being received, so that the success of the
movement is practically assured. 1t is hoped
that all, whether at home or those living in
distant parts who are interested in the old
church home, will contribute as literally as
may be. This church was built in ls47 during
the ministry of Rev. Mr. Souther, and has
always been kept in good repair and is an
ornament to the village. During the past sew
eral years the Ladies' Aid Society has raised
the present time it is in excellent condition.
1t is hoped that the proposed change will make
the building more attractive and better fitted
for the purposes demanded by the community.

CONCERNING THE ROADS. The sections of
State road Northport avenue built by
street commissioners Levi L. Robbins and JEFF
ferson F. Wilson came out this spring in good
condition. The travelled way was dry and
smooth when other streets were muddy. These
sections of road were built with drain in the
secting sewers, and were much less expensive
to build than the so-called macadamized road,
but which does not come up to the require
ments of the road of that name. The section
of so-called macadamized road built few
years ago on High street to connect with the
State road Oh Northport avenue was badly
broken up when the frost came out and was
one of the muddiest places in the city. Some
of the rock used in its construction was SO soft
that it was soon ground to powder and became
mud in wet weather. That Northport avenue
stood the treatment it received last spring is
somewhat surprising: Instead of putting on
gravel and making repairs where needed the
road machine was used to dig the dirt out of
the bitches and this with the sods was thrown
onto the travelled way, and for many weeks
this important thoroughfare was practically
impassable. The practice il one that is con-

farmer friends will be peculiarly the
bene6ciaries Of this plan Of good road
making. In this disiric, two-lhirds Of
the assessed property is in Okolona
and one-third in the country. so they,
the country people. will pay only one
third Of whatever tax is levied, whilst
they viii be the chief users Of the
roads. to say nothing Of the enhanced
value Of their property.
It seems to US. Mr., Editor. that view
it from whatever angle we may, our
people should accept with alacrity this
opportunity Of securing good roads.
Civic pride and local patriotism should
be incentive enough to induce US tO
keep step in this march Of progress
and when we add the undoubted ben.
e6ts we will secure. there ought to be
an unanimous approval Of this project
to secure good roads.
