DIE
DURING The
PAST WEEK
Mrs. Charles Later

The community was startled and
and deeply grieved to learn of the sud
den death of Mrs. Charles Later last
Saturday morning. Mrs. Later was born
September 20, 1881 and spent her child
hood days here, then went to Auburn
Maine to live with her gra ndmother,
where she met and married Mr.. Later.
Soon after their marriage they came to
Island Pond and made their home with
Mr.. John Gerish, Mrs. Later's father
Mrs. Later was of quiet and retiring
disposition, but to her intimate friends
and neighbors was a dearly beloved and
delightful companion. She was mu.
sician of considerable ability, having a
true and pleasing contralto voice and
for some time was a member of the
quartette in the Congregational Church.
A baby girl, husband, father and grand
mother will feel her absence most keenly.
The funeral ceremony was held at her
late home on Monday afternoon where
the solemn burial service of the church
was read. The casket, covered with
flowers, was taken to the nearby cemetry
by the hands of the bearers, and COM
mitted to its resting place in the presence
of large gathering of sorrowing friends.

LOCAL team
DEFEATED AT
DERBY Line

The local team travelled to Derby Line
Saturday to play the team there but in
stead of playing ball they played farce
comedy. After delving into the Scorers
book we find the result 20 and 5. Up
to the fourth inning it looked like
contest but after that it was complete
walk-around for the Liners. Poor sup
port and weak hitting were the chief
causes of the defeat. The bright spots
in the locals playing were the throwing
of Stevens and Danforth's steal home

Notice
$50 pianos will soon be
for sale and each one to to
be sold for less than $198.00

One year ago, unknown to me
piano was placed in my home for
$4,000. This piano was supposed
to be on trial only, so have been
informed. Later note for $4,000
was. asked and received unknown
to me. The piano still remains in
my home and l have personally re-
quested the party to remove it.
Now l don't believe in outside
patries interfering in business be-
tween man and wife for the sake of
the sale of $4,000 piano. All I
ask the party to do is to return the
note and remove his piano to save
further trouble in time to come.
Yours truly,
