accepted.
Mr.. and Mrs. Willie Mcneil have moved
into their new home. They were very
pleasantly situated before, living with
their father, but nothing is so pleasant as
reality. The songs of the birds seem
sweeter, the sky clearer, and the sun
brighter. Mr.. and Mrs. Mcneil will be
glad to receive their friends in their new
home, and we dare say they will meet you
with a smile you had not noticed before.
May their days be many and may their
cup overflow.
There has been considerable sickness in
our community but we are glad that most
of the sick are convalescing.

There is always trouble in The world, but
it certainly does not seem equally distnb

more than our share.
Mr.. Jos Ferguson had q fall a few days
ago from which he received internal inju-

Little Frank Ferguson has been very
sick, but we understand he Is also doing
as we'll as could be expected.
Speed Ferguson has been up and down
for the past four months. We understand
it will be necessary for him to go to
Atlanta for further treatment. We trust
his trip will prove entirely satisfactory.

THE UNIVERSAL QUESTION.
Did You See The Comet Wednesday
Night?

From dark until six o'clock last
night half the population of the town
was hard at work watching the big
comet, and the other half was busy
asking questions about 1t. Did you
see 1t? Look for 1t tonight II 1t Is
fair just as soon as ii Is dark enough
for the evening star to be seen. You
will see the comet-unless 1t hurries
back home and out OF sight--a little
to the right of the bright evening
star and not very high above the
western horizon. You can't miss 1t
If you look, for it's like a COW in fly
time-all tail. The end of the tail
last night appeared to be bent toward
the South bit, and reached far up
into the sky.
Some take the comet very serious
ly and think it an i'll omen. There
are those of bad political faith who
take it as a signal that Colonel Teddy
Roosevelt is coming back with his
big stick; others fear 1t has some
thing to do with the boycott on meat.
Then there are some that are alto
gether irrelevant in their remarks
about the sky caller. One wag asked,
When a comets happy, does comet
wag it's tail?" This man will be
hanged by Sheriff Mooers and his
deputies at high noon. Another flip
pant one wanted to know II Mr.. Innes
had a deed for the comet, since he
claimed it, and did he put salt on
its tail to catch it?" No one in
Skowhegan seems to know much
about cometology anyway; no one
could tell where the star with the
angcra tail came from nor guess
where 1t would go to. AS for the
Observation-Disclosures. its cometo-
grapher awaits information from
Prof. Lowell or some other learned
sky-peeker before preparing more
copy on the subject.

A GRAND OLD MAN Of
CORNv|LLE
Relatives Give Him Surprise Party ON
Doth Birthday.

On January 18th, though 1t was a
day of snow and rain, fourteen OF the
relatives of Darius McCrillis made
their way to his home in Cornville
to spend that day, his Goth birthday,
on the old homestead. Six of the
visitors were from Skowhegan. three
from Hartland, and the others resi-
dent in Cornville. It goes without
saying that this reunion on a day OF
so much significance was full of
pleasure for all and specially for the
old gentleman himself
Darius McCrillis was born In East
Skowhegan in the year 1920, when
the community was known as Mil
burn. His birthplace was a log
cabin, and with four brothers and
three sisters he lived there until he
reached an age and stature mature
enough to allow him to go out to
work on another farm. AS soon as
he was in a position to do SO, he
bought farm in East Cornville which
he has held ever since, having lived
sixty-five years on the same property.
Mr.. McCrillis has been married
three times. His first wife, who was
Rebecca Flanders, died in 1S49, leav-
ing one child, Alonzo. who Ia now a
grocer in Holyoke, Mass. His second
wife, who was Della Whittemore, was
the mother of seven children, four Of
whom are deceased; those living are
Laura e. Davis Of Hartland; Abbie
M. Smith of Skowhegan, who is the
mother OF George L. H. Smith OF the
firm of Smith & Bussey, and Emma
]. Moody Of Cornville. His second
wife died in 1865, and his third wife
with whom he is now living was
Mary e. Clark.
Mr.. McCrllis comes of family Of
near-centenarians Nearly all his
