Surely no fault can be found with the win
ter weather we have had for the past week or
ten days A snow storm headed this way
switched off into the Atlantic when it reached
Cape Cod and there has been an unusual
February.

On account of the special meeting of Aurora
Rebekah Lodge Feb. 29th the date of the
"Muck benefit" at the Opera House has been
changed to Friday, March 1st. Manager Cliff
ford is planning to have an extra good line of
pictures including views of Japan and Seeing
Cincinnati"
A small bunch of pussywillows has been
presented the writer. They were picked Feb
18Th WHARF tho snow was deen and M apparopt
promise of life visible. If the weather proph-
cts are right in the prediction that this snow
will remain through March the early spring
flowers will be abundant and beautiful.
Although no announcement has been made
to that effect it is the general belief that the
sale of the Coe- Mortimer Co to the American
Agricultural & Chemical Co. will result in no
change in the management of the former
company or in the running of the plant here.
This will give general satisfaction, as the pres
ent officials are popular with the people and
with their customers. The business at the
local plant has steadily increased from the
start and will necessitate its enlargement in
the near future.
Calais for New York, with lumber has been
anchored in Portland harbor for CT days Ice,
wind and heavy seas are given as the reasons
for her remaining in port. Steamer Borin-

that Marsh Cove lodges buoy l, Isle au Haut
Thoroughfare, is to be changed to a second
class can. Feb. 18th the schooner Dorothy
Palmer, of the Winslow feet of Portland, was
30 days out from Portsmouth, N. H., for Nor
folk, Va, and not yet reported. While it is
thought she may have been blown off it is re-
garded as strange that she has not been heard
from.

The closing lecture of the excellent course
that has been provided this winter under the
auspices of the Improvement Society will be
given at Memorial Hall Wednesday evening,
March 9th, by Rabbi Fletcher of Boston. The
seating capacity of the hall will undoubtedly
be fully utilized by our citizens who wish to
hear this learned and brilliant speaker We
could easily fill this page with press extracts
in praise of this gifted man that have appear
ed within the last few years. We can not re-
sist giving one of the short notes in regard
to one of the most written about men in New
England today. The Springfield Republican
editorially says: rabbi Fleischer is fascinat-
ing speaker, and his address last evening was
VIC Vi peculiar Interest, WHICH nelQ the close
attention of his hearers. The rabbi has a
pleasing person lily, and his clear sympathetic
voice adds to the effectiveness of his delivery
His charm speaker lies in the beautiful
phrasing of his language. the quiet force of his
earnestness, and the command of his subject
He has fund of ready wit; which is made use
of in illustrations, though never so as to de-
tract from the solid elements that make his
lecture worth hearing"
