special train from down river. In
addition to the speaking there will
be fine music by combined choruses
and combined orchestral numbers

The local High School is to furnish

al annual affair which it undoubted-
~ will if the initial attempt proves

of the community No county in
Maine sutpasses Somerset in its hust-
ling, progressive business men and
farmers. Its natural resources are
splendid and l believe that no other
people in our State enjoy a greater
degree OF prosperity than do the peo-
pie of this county. This prosperity
is almost entirely due to progressive
thought and independent action. Our
county has proved to be fertile soil
for new ideas not only in business
but in politics.
l believe in progression as every
man should. Every thinking man
knows that there can be no Marking

of business affairs is equally true in
the conduct of the affairs of a state or
nation. Like the individual the state

ahead or going behind. Il IS to the

REV. v. F. BERRY PUR,
CHASED LIQUORS
According to the Statements Made in
His Stirring Temperance Address
Sunday Evening

Rev. Wilbur f. Berry in his address
at the Methodist Church Sunday even
ing stated that he had purchased liq-
uors from saloons located in Port
land, Lewiston, Bangor and Oldtown
in Prohibition Maine. Referring
somewhat historically to Somerset
county, DR. Berry expressed his graft
fication at speaking in the home town
and in the presence of a man who,
elected sheriff by the Democratic par
ty, had done so much excellent founda-
ton work for enforcement
Mr.. Berry very ably cover
ed the present status of the prohibi-
ton movement, both at home and
abroad in the fifty minutes which he
spoke and at the close of his address,
Rev. George Merriam of the Bethany
Baptist Church arose from his pew
and declared it to have been one of
the finest temperance sermons he had
ever listened to. Music for the even
ing was furnished by the choir. This
was fitting climax to Temperance
Sunday in the four Protestant church
es. AT the First Baptist Church, Dr.
c. e. Owen delivered an excellent ad-
dress; at the Congregational Church
Edward H. Emery preached an able
sermon to a large audience, while
Rev Berry spoke in the Methodist
Church at the morning service. Ow-
ing to the absence of EXMayor Pur-
ington of Waterville, who was to have
occupied the pulpit at Bethany
Church. Rev. c. II. McElhiney of the
Congregational Church supplied,
preaching a splendid sermon, the key
note of which was restraint with
special reference to the temperance
movement The text was taken from
the third chapter of jeremiah.

TOWN IMPROVEMENT So
C|ETY ENTERTA|NS
Miss Harriet l.. Marble Gave Lecture
Recital Before the Three WOmen's
Clubs of the Town

The initial joint meeting OF the
three Women's Clubs of Skowhegan
was held Friday in Congregational
parlOrs, the Town Improvement So
ciety being the hostess club. There
was a large attendance and the rooms
had been made unusually lovely
through the efforts of Miss Alice
Danforth and Miss Gertrude Weston.
Many small trees were used in the ap-
pointments while quantities of pine
and red berries banked the mantle in
the west parlOr There were also
festoons of green and pictures and
electroliers were hung with branches
of the pine. Upon the presidents
table there was a large bouquet of
crysanthemums. The program was
presented in the first parlor where
was stationed the receiving line com
posed of Mrs Ella r. Mooers. Mrs.
Abbe X Wildes. Mrs. Adelaide p.
Ordway and Mrs. Ruth II. Eaton. Mrs.
Annie f. Fish presided and opened
the meeting with a short address, the
keynote of which was the education
of public opinion and the service and
usefulness of the modern Woman s
Club.
Miss Harriet l.. Marble followed
with her lecture-rectal upon Shaks-
pere's Songs. After talk upon the
famous writer himself. the program
was divided into three parts. an IL
lustration of the songs sung in Shaks-
pere's time and mentioned in his
plays, songs written by Shakspere
and probably sung in his plays and
Shakspere's songs with modern set
tings. Miss Marble sang very sweet
ly and her voice was greatly appre-
ciated by her audience. Her lecture
was also ably written and the accom-
panlments which she herself played
were skiilfully rendered. All in all
she gave the club women OF skowhe-
gan an exceedingly delightful after
noon.
