Pastor Wilson's Resignation

The resignation of Rev Theodore
Halbert Wilson, as pastor of the Is
land Avenue Congregational Church
was accepted at the annual meeting
of the Church held Thursday evening.
The words of his resignation which he
read Sunday, March p, at the MORN
ing service were as follows;
March p. 1915.
To the Members of the Island Avenue
Congregational Church and Society
Skowhegan. Maine.
| hereby tender my resignation as
pastor of the church which IL has
been my privilege to serve since Octo-
Der l, 1912. II agreeable to you. l
should appreciate 1t If, in acting upon
this resignation. you would vote to
release me before the expiration of
my contract year. | desire this resi-
gnation to take effect on Saturday,
July 81, 1915.
l take this step advisedly. after
careful and prayerful consideration
My reasons are two in number First,
because | believe that another man
can come into this church and do
constructive work with greater ease
and surer success than |. Second,
because | desire to be at liberty to
consider q call to another field of la
Dor.
| present my resignation at this
particular time In order that you may
be caused the least possible incon-
venience. The Church can. Ia.
ton on Thursday efenne Of this
week. Then, at the regular Annual
Meeting of the Society on March %,
the Society can take action. This
will obviate the necessity of calling a
special meeting of the Society at some
later date. 1t will enable you to
seek pastor during the best season
of the year, the Spring. You prob
ably can secure pastor in time to
commence the Fall work under his
leadership. thus avoiding a long gap
between pastorates.
My sole wish for this church is
that each succeeding month and year
may find il ever increasingly potent
as an institution in which persons
ray find comfort, if they are distress
ed; hope, if they are downcast;
friendship, if they are lonely; inspira-
tlou, IL tney are "dFellHsI CoopeId-
ton. if they desire to make their own
lives more like the life of Jesus and
fellowship. if they seek to make their
community more like the Kingdom of
God. My one prayer for this church
is Father, may Thy will be done
here in this church. even as it is done
in heaven"
God be gracious to you and give you
peace through the indwelling of the
Spirit of holiness, truth, and love.
THEODORE HALBERT WILSON.

FALLING HAIR OR
ITCHING SCALP

Now that Partisan Sage-an mex
pensiye preparation that supplies
every hair and scalp need can be
had from G. II. Fogg, it is certainly
needless to have thin. brittle. matted
stringy or faded hair. No matter
how unsightly your hair. how badly
1t is falling, or how much dandruff
Partisan Sage is all that is needed
Every trace of dandruff is removed
with one application. the hair roots
are nourishcd and stimulated to grow
new hair. itching scalp and falling
hair cease
Partisan Safe Is certainly one of
the most inYigorating tonics. and will
surely make ynar hair soft, abundant
and radiant With life and beauty. eta

LOCAL DEPUTY HAS.
LIVELY SCUFFLE
With An Alleged Forger
From Across Border
Phileas Pepin Is Found In Madison
by Deputy LashOn and an Officer
from the Provinces

Through mail, although written
under an assumed name, Phleas
Pepin was apprehended and Thurs
day was arrested in Madison for the
forgery of notes amounting to $1,000
This was done more than five months
ago as for about that length of time
Pepin has resided in Madison. The
forgery was supposedly committed in
Evariste, District of Beauce, in the
Province of Quebec. and the alleged
forger got the notes cashed at the
Banque Rationale in St Evariste,
where Pepin lived. Honore Poulin,
a constable from st. Evariste, arrived
in Skowhegan Thursday night and
accompanied by Deputy Sheriff w. J.
Lashon went to. Madison and there
succeeded in finding Pepin. He APP
parently made an effort to escape
when he saw the officers and Deputy
Lashon had quite a scuff1e with him,
before he finally captured him and
brought him to Skowhegan Jail. FRI
day he was started back to the Pro-
vinces, accompanied by Deputy Lash
on and Constable Poulin. the latter
not being constable in the United
States, hence the necessity of having
the local deputy accompany him.
Pepin's family went with him from
Madison. 1t Is understood that he
has made previous escapes from JUS
tice and it is claimed that he admits
his guilt

evening and tied his team on a

go home he found that his team,
which WAS hitched to a platform
buggy, was gone. Thinking that
the team might have broken loose
and returned home, he did not re-
port the matter to the authorities
that night and TINS the thieves had
several hours the start. It has
since been learned that two men
driving a rig corresponding in de-
seription to the n stolen, stopped
at the school house two miles north
of Scotland, Saturday where they
fed the team some corn picked
from a nearby field. II was also
found that they broke into. the
school house. The rig was traced
to Parker where the team was
found, having been traded for a
team of mules. Before leaving
Parker the thieves also burglarized
a dwelling house. They we're ov-
ertaken and brought back to Par
ker where they are being held for
burglary. They will PROBABLY have
to face both the charge of burglary
and of horse stealing, but which
county will get the first whack at
them has not been determined.
