pages contain. The centennial historian, Rev.
Albert H. Thompson of Raymond. N H., was
a Searsport boy and through his wonderful
memory and wide acquaintance has given to
US picture Of the old town in its prosperous,
ship building days and recalled the faces of
men. who sailing to all parts of the world
were proud to hail from Searsport. 1t is
gratifying to the many friends of Mr. Thomp-
son that he was able to enjoy and take part
in the Centennial Celebration and his address
has become valued record. One week previ-

"SALLY LUNN" The bright little comedy
in two acts, Sally Lunn, given last Thursday
night in Union hall under the direction of
Mrs Sumner C. Pattee and Miss Harriet
Roulestone, was decided success. About $25
was made for the piano fund of the Congrega-
tional society. Mrs. Pattee coached the cast
and Miss Roulestone took the leading role, and
to them much credit is due, The cast was very
evenly balanced; in fact, it was an all-star ag
gregation and it would be impossible to pick
out the real star. One of the greatest hits
was made by Miss Rouiestone and Storey
Trundy in the second act, when they introduced
Hello frisco, from the Follies of 1915, Ina
Claire's famous song. 1t brought forth much
applause and was repeated several times. Dur
ing the acts Mr.. 1rundy sang Back to Tennes-
see. and made his usual hit. In the part Of
