NORTH BELFAST. John Adams, a workman
for Fred A. Holmes, met with serious and
painful accident last Saturday. He was at
work near the rotary saw. which was running,
when in some way he slipped and fell and his
right arm came in contact with the saw, cut
ting it badly in three places. In trying to get
away from the saw he fell again and his right
hand was nearly severed from his arm. The
operator of the saw noticed the accident just
in time to prevent the young man from being
drawn on to the saw in such way as would
have killed him instantly. He was hurried to
Waldo county hospital. where his wounds were
dressed, and he is now as comfortable as possi-
BILE. 1t is thought he will fully recover, al
though he may lose the use of three fingers,

have been fatal accident, that ever occurred

honored custom of ringing the church bell, fir
ing guns, fire crackers. footing horns and max
ing other discordant sounds. The din was kept
up until late in the morning, causing loss of
sleep to many Of the inhabitants. They did
not begrudge the boys their sport, however, as
it comes but once yeaE, and it was all done
in kindly spirit and without damage to any
one Church services were held Sunday as
usual. In the morning Miss Walkley preached
patriotic sermon. In the evening she gave
very instructive and interesting talk on the
history of the United States flag. A large

Damaged Goods.
Richard Benefits co-workers will
present Damaged Goods Eugene
Brieuxs great sociological drama at
the Skowhegan Opera House on Tues
day, Jan. 26.
This is play which has created
more discussion since its first produce
ton in America at the Fulton Theatre,
New York on March 14th, 1913, than
any other drama of modern times AS
the New York Times has said ut mi
tiates a new epoch of civilization, an
epoch that seems destined to estab-
lish a new outlook upon life, and an
epoch which will mean the correction
of a great social evil.
The play is based on the ignorance
and blindness with which men and
women of today assume the most sa-
cred obligations of parenthood. The
central character in the play is A
young man unfit to marry and who is
so advised of the fact by his physi-
clan, but who because his word IS
given and because he fears to violate
the custom" of engagements, marrieS
an innocent young girl.
The second act takes place eighteen
months after the first act, and the
young married people are buoyantly
happy in their home and jubliant over
the birth of daughter. The sins of
the father have been visited upon the
child, and all the happiness becomes
as the ashes of Dead Sea apples upon
the lips of father and mother,
The third act concerns the efforts
of the father of the young wife and
the family physician to construct a
new life for the young people on the
crumbled foundations of the old.
