Last Saturday evening Clifton Wood
ward harnessed three big horses 10 the
old-time stage-coach, formerly run by j.
M. Hale & Co., from Bangor to Cherry
field, drove around town and picked up
his party OF twelve and drove to Lamoine.
Horns and shouts Of laughter aroused the
quiet towns along the road. At Lamoine a
bushel OF CLAIMS was waiting at the home
OF Benjamin Young and wife, where
Mansel B. Young, the host Of the party,
did the honors. In the party were Clifton

viii Tracy and wife, Fred Lindsey and
wife, M. B. Young, Mrs. Florence Blais-
dell, and Mrs. A. S. Foster, all Of Els

At q meeting Of the Ellsworth Marine
railway company last Friday, Frank g..
Lord was elected president and manager,
John H. Leland clerk and treasurer,
Joseph M. Higgins, Edgar Jordan, James
l.. Cook and Howard Jordan, directors.
The recent death of Charles H. Curtis, who
was manager OF the railway, in connection
with bis shipyard, deprives the company
| of his practical services. The railway is
| in first class condition, and will not be
allowed to run down, but under the
present management, aside from local
work that comes to the railway, outside
business will not be sought for. The
railway and shipyard, and shop connected
Herewith, are for sale and offer good
opening for q practical man with lots OF
hustle and q little capital. Ellsworth
| would like to see such man take hold oi
the proposition.
