In the fall of this year Mr. Nesmith
retired from business as trader and
, leased his store (Nesmith's Corner to
young man, then only eighteen years of
age, who had been his clerk for nearly
i three years preceding, and who com
menced business, to use his own words,
''by offering at retail a small stock of
groceries &c He continued to occupy
that store until 1916, when he removed
TO the building now the Phoenix House.
He represented Belfast in the first Legis-
lature convened after Maine became a
State, and was her first Mayor after she
became city. 1t is hardly necessary to
add that that young man is now our hon

The sentiment of the blessing" was
bad, the rhyme worse; but the whole
bears the impress of the genuine DOL
liffian inspiration.
A mere accident brought to the hands
of the writer, some twenty years ago,
an old volume which bore internal evil
deEce of having once been the property
of Dolliff or some one of his immediate
neighbors. From the various handwrit-
ing OH it's fly-leaves it appeared to have
been the property of four different in
dividuals, who had successfully inscribed
their names and the fact OF their owner
ship in such language as indicated that
they had imbibed to some extent the in
spiration, if they had not in fact adopted
the words of their neighbor poet. One
of them under date Of Nov. l, 1900,
writes:
''This book belongs to me. my friend.
1t wasn't made to borry nor lend,
To let you know from whence it came
Underneath write my name"
Under date of 1904, no month or day,
as supplementary to the foregoing.
probably, the owner next in order
writes:
"Steal not this book, pray,
Lest in the awful judgment day,
The Lord should up and say,
Where is the book you stole away"
1t seemed to have passed next into the
hands of one of the gentler sex, who
writes under date of Nov, 20, 1909:
Hannah Bryant Hur Book.
God give Hur grace therein to Look,
And when the Bells for her doth Toll,
The Lord have Marcy on her sole"
To which very devout aspiration she
adds the following lines from good DR..
Watts, slightly changed:
Life is the Time that God hath given
To skeep from He'll and flea to Heven'
Ii the foregoing were not improvisa-
tions from the lips of Dolliff, there is
good reason for the supposition that they
were inspired by his genius.
Learned scholars have learnedly dis
cussed the question whether any such
men as Homer and Ossian, whose poetry
has stirred mems hearts like the sound
of trumpet for centuries, ever lived.
Who shall venture to say that the name
of 10. Dolliff, the reputed Squatter
Poet of Greene Plantation, in whose
verse is embalmed the memory OF the
heroic men of Belfast in the "Greene
Indian War" may not be found a CEN
fury hence in the catalogue of myths!

bOULEVARDS
FOR TWIN
Pc AXIS

Long before Twin peaks tunnel is
completed the great area of restricted
residence parks west of the hills will
be accessible by a chain of scenic
boulevards, which will stand un-
equaled anywhere in the country.
One of the first moves in this dirco-
ton will be the widening. proving
and bituminizing of Corbett avenue
from It's present intersection with
6loat boulevard to It's connection with
the proposed grade extension OF Mar
ket street, the slater being a part of
the Twin peaks tunnel project.
Plans for the Improvement of Cor
bett avenue are now in the hands of
the board of supervisors 1t Is be-
lieved that means OF financing the
plan will shortly be arranged.
This is but one of a number OF
similar improvements that are far be-

WALL S GIT I

City Hall Site Is Donated by
the Richmond Land
Company

RICHMOND, Oct. 1S.-The members
OF the city council are beginning to
discuss that great need of Richmond,
an adequate and conveniently located
city hall. This public structure should
be under way within the next year
and 1t must be something of an I'm
posing nature that it may at the
srowth of the city for several years.
The lease of the city in it's present
quarters in the western part of the
city has expired and the city council
has made temporary arrangements to
remain there until the new city hail
is constructed. This new public build
Ing must be ready for occupancy be-
fore the end of another two years at
most
In connection with the impending
construction OF the city hall an anus
Ing situation has developed in the
promiscuous claiming of sites. though
there is only one site-that in Wallis
Harbor Center. accepted officially by
the city council and now carried on
the books OF the city as one of it's per-
manent assets.
When George S. Wall, president of
the new Richmond Land company,
which owns Wallis Harbor Center, a
business subdivision in the inner har-
Dor section. opened last May, offered
the city council one block of land as
a city hall site and civic center, the
council, which had been worrying over
where to get an entirely satisfactory
site. seized the opportunity with alac-
rity and accepted for the city this
excellent site for a period of FIVE
years, so as to clinch it for the city.
The one block is worth $4,000. and
will be of immense value as the city
grows, and especially with the civic
center located on IT.
Some realty operators with other
land had been claiming that their
property was to be graced with the
city hall, and had sold lots on this
pretense. though they had no shadow
of official sanction from the city coun-
ell They had been announcing that
their property was to be the city hall
location. but had given the city no
part of it for that purpose. Then
Wall. public spirited, came forward
with his liberal gift
AS soon as the Harhor Center site
was accepted and became the final and
= irrevecable location of the civic GEN.
ter there was great futter of ex-
citement among these dealers The
claiming of city hall sites has become
a vocation with them since. Some of
those who bought with the under
standing that the city hall was to be
near their property got their money
back as soon as Wallis Harbor Center
site was officially accepted.
