Mrs. Benjamin Hazeltine entertained the
Old Acquaintance Club last Saturday night at
an informal, fashioned dinner The guests
number of la lies who were fast friends dur
ing their girlhood, have had some most happy

Horace Hilton of the NJ C. R. R. was in the
city last Friday with the surveying party that
has been surveying the route between Belfast
and Rockland The location is farther from
the shore than the route surveyed for the
electric road, and comes in by Pitchers Pond,
where the elevation is 800 feet above tide
| water 1t is thought to be something of a
problem to bring the road into Belfast to con-
meet with present road as the question of
land damages would be quite a serious one
aside from the engineering difficulties
GAN ATTACK OF INDIGNATION" A Belfast
man tells the following good story: He is
agent for large New York mandatory and
in answer to telegram requesting his pres
/ ence at the home office, replied by wire that
he was unable to go as he had an attack of
Indigestion. On his next visit to New York a
few weeks later he was surprised to see pecui-
ar and significant smiles upon the faces of the
office employees and was rather inclined to
resent this until he was shown the telegram
which had been received from him and which
read, Am unable to come at present as have
an attack of Indignation
! j. H. HoWEs' OPENING. The new ready to-
wear department in the annex to the j. H,
Howes dry goods store in Odd Fellows block
was opened last Saturday, and despite the I'M
favorable weather there were many visitors
during the day and evening and the sales were
most satisfactory. In the main store and the
CHI nd }bo
attractively arranged, with bouquets of large
chrysanthemums. In the annex of which q
description was given last week, the new goods
were attractively displayed on hangers, coun.
tiers and tables, a floor show case filled with
chlldren's wear attracting special attention. A
handsome rug on the floor, and mirrors com.
pieted the furnishings, which throughout are
tasteful and appropriate 1t may be said, no,
of this store alone but of our business places
in general, that they are equalled by no place
III Maine Of the size of Belfast, and need not
fear comparison with the stores in MANY laro
er places.
AN OLD-TIME RELIC. Workmen at the
house of Mrs. Susan Newell at Citypoint, who
were engaged to dislodge swarm of bees
from under the caves, upon cutting through
from the inside of the attic in an effort tf
locate the honey, found between the walls 2
curious reminder of other days in the shape OF
| perfectly made miniature barrel about three
inches in length, evidently fashioned from g
solid piece of wood with a jack knife. The
barrel, which would hold perhaps cupful Of
liquid, has bung hole, while three creases al
each end represent the hoops. One end is solo
while the other is pronounced to have beer
shrunken into place. On one of the barre
heads ship is scratched, while on the othe,
the initials F. R. are plainly SEEM and no doubt
are the initials of Mr. Frank Russ, who was
for many years a resident of the Head of the
Tide and who lived to be very nearly centena-
rlan. In the early days when Citypont was
known as RUSS Point the original house was
built and occupied by his father, Major Russ
but upon its purchase some fifty years ago by
Mr.. Newell, was raised and another story built
under it, so that the roof is that of the old Russ
homestead and the curious little relic mus
nave reposed in its hiding place for nearly E
century.
