/ Hopkins & Co.. who are closing out, and will
open with a line of light and fancy groceries.

| The CORN OUTLOOK The Saco Valley Can
ming Co. began the seasons work on corn at
their plant in this city last week and good
run was anticipated. Recent frosts, however,
may have seriously damaged the crop, al
though it is hoped conditions are not as bad as
reported. The Liberty factory has begun
work, although it had been reported it would
not be run this season. and corn canning was
begun generally in the State this week. The
factory here will begin canning apples when
the corn is packed and will do larger BUSH
ness in that line than last year.
Perley Tibbetts, who has been errand boy
| and messenger at the Western Union office
about eight years. and who has been a great
favorita on account of his faithfulness and
willingness, has left the office and will return
to school. With the quick delivery given to
kilograms by telephoning them, and with Per-
ley as messenger, the delivery service OF the
Western Union in Belfast was considered re-
markedly good. From the assurances of many
customers we are sure that this fact has been
appreciated. Miss Newell, who is still mana
ger of the office, hopes that if she RECEIVERS her
health sufficiently to resume her work there
she may be fortunate enough to again secure
Periey's services as messenger.
