Through the medium of the Cecilia
Choral Society comes the news that
there is being planned a very elaborate
series of musical treats for the good
people of Waterville and vicinity. These
take the shape of the production of
some light operas by local talent aug
mented by imported talent of note.
There is also planned few entertain
ments by musical stars of national
fame. Waterville has some mighty
musical people and there is host of
undeveloped talent here. talent that is
waiting for an opportunity to be uii'
covered.
A short time ago an effort was made
to revive the interest in community
singing. public interest was invited in
the Cecilia Choral Society's work. How
well this effort succeeded can best be
answered by the enthusiasts that We're
fortunate enough to be present at the
last Monday night rehearsal of that
society. Full particulars of theh sea-
sons program will be announced later.
This will serve as the announcement
of the regular rehearsal tonight at the
Congregational Vestry. All members

new concrete work in City hall square
at about noon Saturday and the space
was quickly populated with teams and
automobiles. The builders had left in

FIRE
CAUSES A $500
LOSS IN FAIRFIELD

Fairfield. Me-, Nov. 15.-tSpeciaD.-
Fully $500 damage was done by fire
&hortly before midnight. Saturday.
when the home of Mrs. Francis York
both situated on Goodman court were
burned. The York home was a COM
plete loss and the Goodman home was
quite badly damaged. AS near as can
be learned the fire started in the shed
of the York place, from some un-
known cause, and had spread through
the shed and the ell of the house, so
that the flames were bursting through
the sides before being discovered. The
two young boys in the house had hard
time enough to jump through VIM
dow on the first floor to avoid being
burned. The front door of the York
place was locked and they were UNI
able to find the key at the time. The
alarm was rung in from Box 50. cor
ner of High and Burrill street at 1850
P. NJ. The fire department responded
promptly, but all they could do was
to work to hinder the flames from
sprea ding. The Goodman home which
is next to the York place was dam
aged, the shed being burned and the
ell roof, both very slightly. Everything
in the York home was destroyed. Mrs.
York and young girl were at the home
of George Henry York. for the night
The York home. the main part of the
house. the ell. the barn. and atwo
smaller sheds were burned. The dam
age to the Goodman place is about
$500 and the loss of the York place is
estimated at about $500. The Good
man place is partly covered by insur-
ance. 1t is understood that the York
place was without any insurance.
