REMARKABLE INCREASE IN
AUGUSTA P. o. BUSINESS

The fiscal year of the Augusta post
Office closed July l and the accounts
show that the gross receipts are the
largest in the history of the Office. The
total amount Of moneys paid in at the
office for mail service is 244,4SS62
Even this large total does not repre-
sent the full amount Of service given,
for the publishing houses in the city
receive yearly about 100000 in
stamps and these stamps are affixed
to mail handled at the local office,
though the stamps were sold by Of
fees scattered throughout the Union.
1t is interesting to compare the
year Just passed and the business
year 25 years ago. There was only
s41,227.07 in gross receipts 25 years
ago. With few exceptions during the
last rs years the gross receipts have
increased every year. The past year
the Office has handled 11,046, 1853
pounds of second class mail. whereas
% years ago it handled but 1,713,522
pounds. Last year 503.625 sacks of
second class mail were handled at the
Augusta post office; Is years ago only
5O,6S9 sacks were handled. The gross
receipts for the year just closed are
$4,000 more than in the year preced-
ing. The great volume of second class
mail handled the past year becomes
more apparent by noting the fact that
the average for 365 days was 1879
sacks per day.

Mrs. H. D. Evans, Lambard Court af-
ter long and most trying illness, was
native of New Sharon. Me. With her
parents, Oliver and Mary Ann Soule
Gould she came to Augusta while
quite young and later removed with
them to Old Town. From there Miss
Gould went to Marionette. Wis, where
she made her home for about 80 years,
returning to Augusta nine years ago.
Miss Gould was woman of refine
ment and Of a most charming person
ality. Though frail in person and for
that reason limited in her social ac-
tivities, her sweet and gracious dispo-
sition endeared her to a circle of init
mate friends, who will ever cherish
the memory of that gentle woman.
who accepted lifes blessings with joy
and its burdens without complaint.
The deceased was a member of the
Unitarian church. A half-brother,
Charles Gould of Estelline, South Da-
kota, survives.
Funeral services will be held at the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Evans. Lambard

Despite the fact that he had taken
the precaution to sew the money into
his trousers pocket William S. Keene
Of this city, who is employed as the
Bridge street crossing tender by the
Maine Central Railroad, was relieved
of $50 by a pickpocket Sunday at Old
Orchard.
By mistake Mr.. Keene boarded the
Bangor express train at Old Orchard
and he was pushed by the crowd into
one end of the car. He soon discov-
cred his mistake in boarding Tie wrong
train and got off to take the train fol-
lowing, which would stop at Augusta.
When he was clear Of he crowd he
found that the pocketbook containing
the money was gone.
One Of the employees about the sta
ton saw the thief when he took the
pocketbook, and jumped on the train,
but as the train was moving he was
obliged to jump off before getting the
man.

FILL OUT that COUPON and BEGIN
SWIMMING LESSONS ATTY, N, c, A,
GLASSES OPEN MONDAY, AUG. 8

The Journal-Y. M. c. A. swimming
campaign is big thing; it presents
remarkable opportunity to every
boy and man who cannot swim. All
one need do is to fill out the coupon
appearing in the Journal, take it or
mail it to the Y. NJ. c. A., and when
assigned to class keep class hours
promptly and learn to swim. There
is no charge and the instruction is by
the easiest method and by the most
competent instructors. Boys classes
will be in the mornings. mems, in the
evenings, of the week of Aug ola.
That famous Websterian quotation,
Sink or swim. live or die, survive or
PERISH" means just sink or swim when
the body is thrown into the water
without support. AS sport, swimming
is an historic and eternal favorite;
as an requirement, it is one of the
first to be perfected by every boy and
man who takes pride in all-round
ability and personal independence.
Comforts Of Swimming
And what sweet comforts can be
had by the swimmer. Imagine a sui
try August day bringing the smarting
perspiration to the brow. to the back,
and-Alas! Alas.-to the starchy band
about the neck. Ones clothes are as
| comfortable as n mourner's suit of
| sackcloth and ashes and one wonders
sometimes if they can be removed
/ without the use of pinch bar. Imag-
inc such a day and paint into it big
cool body of water--one can do it
easily enough if one is already a

Arrivals

Ocean Point. Me, Aug. 2. Especially
Sunday was busy day at Ocean
Point. Many weekend visitors ar
rived Saturday and many motored just
for Sunday. The crowd in the after
noon gathered at the Casino where the
sports were watched. The weather
has been foggy and misty ever since
last Thursday. and even Sunday the
sun was hidden under clouds of mist,
but this did not apparently lessen the
ardor Of the Ocean Pointers, who
promenaded the roads and the wood
land paths with much enjoyment.
The church services Sunday morn
ing were conducted by Rev. A. NJ.
Rihbaney of Boston. pastor of the
Church Of Disciples in that city.

swimmer. What temptation to the
man or boy sorely tried by the dis
comforts Of the heat. Now imagine
the raising Of two eager hands above
the head they form a wedge, the
body dives gracefully into the cool
depths. What happy relief! One does
not come to the surface too quickly
but paddles about with the other fish
for few moments and when the drip
ping face does come through the cool
black surface the swimmer wonders
where the heat has gone to so quickly
and why the air that lies close to the
water is so cool and sweet But if one
cannot swim-Shucks! what's the use
Of having cool water in August if one
cannot get into it more than knee
deep?
Be Ready for Accidents
Accidents speak for themselves so
often that it is hardly necessary to
speak Of them. One day fellow says,
L don't care if l can't swim; I'm all
right" and the next day friend is
Juggling him to shore or he is disap-
pearing for the third and last time be-
meath the waters which know no ia
vorites.
Join with the others in this Journal
Y. NJ c. A. swimming campaign. A
better chance will never come and
you have put it off too long already.
Be wise. Personal preparedness is a
prime asset in this age of submarines
and how do you know but that you
will have to swim home every night
next week? You will if the rain
! keeps on.)

BIC BARN BURNED
Making Spectacular Scene for Thous-
ands of Fair Visitors on We'd
nesday Night

An extra thrill not down upon the Of
fetal programs was furnished to the
thousands of fair visitors who thronged
our streets shortly after 10 O'Clock on
Wednesday night by the burning of the
big Govreau barn.
Occupying a commanding position
upon the hill at the south end of Main
street the blaze could be plainly seen
for miles and even the attractions at
the fair grounds paled before the re-
fulgence of the barn burning.
A little blaze was creeping up one
corner of the barn when the fire was
first discovered by the young son of c.
l.. Govreau and arousing his father they
thot to put it out with few buckets of
water, but by the time they reached the
scene with water the interior was a
seething furnace of flame. The fire
department was summoned but could
not get within 100 feet of the burning
building and it was completely de-
stroyed.'
Mr.. Govreau had valuable farm mach
inery and implements, besides large
amount of feed, in his huge barn and
estimates the fire damage at about
So, 900, on which he carried $25OO in
surance.
