The Citypont correspondent of the Bangor
News says: I'VE notice that representatives
from ten families in our little village find en-
ployment in Belfast and board at their homes.
This is a large increase over former years.
The distance is about two miles, and those who
do not keep team, or ride bicycle, find it
possible to walk to and from their work. 1t is
a matter of regret that the train service can
not be made to accommodate people living
along the Belfast branch who desire to work
in the city. Since the railroad was built there
has never been an early morning train into Bel
fast

BIRTHDAY PARTY. Verna Isabel. the lit
tie daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Miles S. Je lison.
celebrated her 9th birthday, Oct 18th, at her
home on Church street. The guests were
Cicily Gunner, Ruth Partridge Dorothy Long,
Wight Robbins, Carl Colcord and Carlton Read,
all between the ages of 81 and 81 years. They
merry for time in the attractive home of
their little hostess. Later there was little
rivalry in singing and speaking, and the time
ly and appropriate selections gave evidence of
an interested teachers influence. When re-
freshments were announced quiet reigned for
time and they filed to the dining room and
took their places at the table filed with things
oh
ice cream, but the center of attraction was the
large cake with its six little candles. Mrs.
Jellison was assisted in serving by Mrs G. P.
Cook.

Julia Vaughan last week contained the news
that her father, the Rev ]. W. Vaughan, had
