c. II. Greeley of Clinton can justly
claim the title of the Honey King of
Maine" Mr.. Greeley has been making
specially of bee-making and honey
production for more than q quarter OF
century For some years past he
has produced from to 5 tons Of hon
ey annually at his apairies, while
from one TO two tons year Is under
stood to be the limit of production OF
other extensive bee-keepers in the
State, and but few are getting more
than q ton. Had it not been for an
unusual streak of bad luck, a heavy
loss of bees in the cellar, and later
the destruction by fire Of one OF his
houses, containing some 80 colonies,
MIR. Greeley is confident that he would
have beaten his own record last sea-
son, and brought the amount up to
an even six tons or more. The bulk
of Mr.. Greeley's honey, which has
high reputation, is marketed through
the trade in the nearby cities and
towns. He supplies regularly some
80 stores at Wateryille, Augusta, Oak
land, Fairfield and Skowhegan. He
also exhibits annually at the Lewiston
fair, where he sometimes makes sales
of nearly or quite ton of honey.

hands. In complying he also turned
up the light in the night lamp, and
with an oath the man in the mask
knocked the lamp to the floor and the
blazing oil spread over the kitchen
floor. Mr.. Young ran to his daughters
room pursued by the burglar, who de-
manded his money. This the burglar
declined, however, when he found 1t
amounted to only dollar. BY this
time the fire was gaining rapid head

l6, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Manner
Bates, was exhumed recently from the
cemetery in which 1t was buried nearly
three weeks ago and an autopsy was
performed. When the girl died on
March l6, it was decided that death
was due to chloroform, self-adminis-

official investigation. Coroner W. F.
Buzzell of Houlton went there Friday
accompanied by DR. Mann and DR. Dick

Foxcroft and Sebec citizens are
agitating the question of centennial
celebrations. The matter will be dis
cussed at the next meeting of the
Piscataquis Historical Society, April
25. Correspondence says: Both towns
pass the century mark this year and
in the minds of many it seems ad-
visable to have some proper celebra-
ton of the events. The two towns
are close together and 1t might be
possible to make the celebration a
joint affair Those who are active in
the work of the Historical Society
have become interested in the ques-
ton and the meeting will afford an
opportunity for the citizens of both
towns to express their opinions.

1t is my opinion that Arkansas
will not Instruct aher delegates o, the
Democratic national convention" sail,
Mr.. Cravens. al the Normandie, The
state committee does not want to
send an instructed delegation. Semi
ment for candidates is considerably
divided. Perhaps the favorite is
Governor Harmon, with Governor
Wilson and Speaker Clark running
about even-up behind him. If Oscar
Underwood lived anywhere but In
Alabama then I believe Arkansas ana
many other states would support him
for the nomination There seems tn
be feeling that man from sta o
SO far south might not be elected.
MY idea Is that man too radical
should not be nominated by the De-
mocrats. The Democratic candidate
should embody progressive ideas WITH
sufficient conservation to make him
a safe president, We want happy

famous old Greek philosopher. In
fact, he informed them that their an

Not content with anteing with tho
