FROM SUBSCRIBERS. The following person a
note from MIR. VIM. K. Morrison of Mime
apolis, Minn.. will be read with interest by his
many friends in this city and vicinity: 81 am
always glad to get The Journal, and pleased te
note the many evidences of business and In
dustrial improvements. The worst trouble
about receiving the home paper is the toe
many death notices of old friends and ac-
quantances, and l also imagine you have little
idea of the number of new names that appear
in local news columns think of it every time
read the paper. 1t is now twenty-five years
since left Belfast, and naturally these changes
are to be expected. ! was pleased this morn
| ing to receive call from Mr.. Edward Slbley
who came in with Mrs. Walter Kelly. While
i on my six weeks trip to California during the
| holiday season | saw all the Belfast friends
who are living at Redlands. My sister, Mrs
| Adams, niece, Miss Avis Morrison, and daugh-

in three automobiles, made trip to Santa
Barbara, Redlands, Riverside and through the
San Bernardino Valley generally. making the
return trip during the beginning of that terri
BILE freeze that ruined SO many pc pie. The
devastation was something terrible. 1t would
| have to be seen to be appreciated. Not only
the fruit was destroyed, but all the nursery
stock and young trees, and imagine many OF
the older ones must have been affected tt
quite large extent All the flowers and
garden truck also were killed. This same
condition prevailed in San Diego. l MADE
two trips down there. We are having beauti
full spring weather here now. The season as {
whole is a little late. Am keeping myself
quite busy outside of the time l spend at the
office, horse back riding, a little attempt al
golf and motoring. l wish I was not so fal
away SO might include some cruises"down the
bay" during the season l don't think people
living there fully appreciate what a beautiful
bay it is l have been to the Bay of Naples
several times but it doesn't compare with Pc
nobscot Bay But they do have that beauti
full intense Italian SUNSHINE and I think you
have 10 confess that occasionally you ha5
