Miss Melvina " Parker, one of the teachers
in the Belfast High School, has bought of Mrs.
| Emma S. Coombs of Globe, Arizona, the resi-
dence of the late Mrs. George R. Sleeper on
! Church street. Miss Parker is the daughter of

| The proceeds from the sale of Red Cross
stamps under the direction of Waldo Branch
were little more than $40. This will leave a
! benefit for the sanitarium at Hebron of about
] $50. The largest sale was by K. A. French 4
| Co., who disposed of 800 The other sales were
as follows: M. P Woodcock & Son, 300; City
| Drug Store, $50; Mrs. Geo. e. Bracket, SOS;
H. J. Locke & Son, 406; Mrs Edward R. Pierce,
400; Mrs. w. M. Thayer, $50; W. E. Jones,
! Brooks, 200. Doubtless the result would have
been larger had not other agents covered part
of the territory belonging to the local branch.
| Our neighborng town of Northport is enjoy
| ing what promises to be considerable boom.
The two new cottages and improvements at
Saturday Cove will, we are told, cost in the
neighborhood of 100000; $4,000 bungalow has
! just been completed on the shore near Little
River for Mr. Hartman, who talks of building
| others, and if Mr.. Cobe builds the magnificent
summer home Hillside Farm for which plans
have been drawn it will represent invest
ment of $4,000 or more. Then the hotel at
Temple Heights will no doubt be completed
and ready for occupancy the coming season,
1 and the ownership of the wharf at Northport
Campground by the Eastern Steamship Co,
and its enlargement, must be of benefit to that
resort.

this limit the city is to put in one light for

damage.
LANGENDoRFF CONCERT. To be given Thurs
day evening, March 10, 1910 One can hardly
realize that this great artist, who created the
most enthusiasm of any artist at the last
Maine Festival, is so soon to be in our city, and
we are going to have the pleasure of hearing
her sing no less than Is different songs and
arias. Truly this will be a climax to all other
musical events held in our city this year. and
| those who did not have the pleasure of hearing
Madame Langendorf at the last Festival will
have one of the greatest musical treats in
store for them that they ever had the pleas
ure of listening to. Wherever Mr. Chapman
goes he always arouses great enthusiasm, not
only by his own personal magnetism, but by
| the fact that he always has great people with
him, for he will be satisfied with only the best.
He will introduce, besides Madame Langen-
dorf. Miss Margaret Wilson, Violinist, from
New York, formerly from Brunswick, Maine,
who has achieved great success in New York
and in all other cities where she has appeared.
Miss Wilson is a player of the same rank as
Maud Powell, and Mr.. Chapman assures the
public that they can expect great deal from
this gifted violinist. Mr.. Chapman will pre-
side at the piano, and with such combination,
one can expect an evening of unspeakable
pleasure. This great concert will be given I'M
der the auspices of our own Festival Chorus.
and they will receive percentage on the sale
of all tickets. which will help them maintain
their local expenses. This is a most generous
act on the part of Mr.. Chapman, who is SO anx,
ious to assist all local choruses.
