From Our Correspondence

Under the direction of Miss
Ramstad and Miss Street our
school seems to be progressing
fine.
The dance Saturday night was
a success in every way. 1t was
put on by the Moose Lake I'm
perial Orchestra.
Mr.. Bulls and Jas. H. Hogan
drove to Wrenshall Tuesday, to
look after the new bank which
will open on the %.
Geo. Bissonnette spent Sunday
at John Richards home east of
Sandstone, assisting in selling
land to several land seekers.
Potatoes have started coming
in and the quality is good. I'm
derstand the price is also rather
high and it would seem advis-
able to sell.
If the sand business keeps up
for Louis Hultgren there will be
no sand hill in a few years. The
shipments to date for this year
are over one hundred cars with
some Is orders on hand to fill.
Start a savings account in the
Kerrick State Bank. 1t is the
beginning of success; one dollar
starts your account and the bank
will welcome you as one of it's
depositors. Ladies and children
especially invited.
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. E. Nelson mo-
tored to Groningen, Tuesday,
where Mr.. Nelson is interested
in buying potatoes and also in
the lumber yard. They sold
their motor wagon while there,
and nearly had to walk back.
Our old friend, w. w. George,
has been with us again for a
few days looking after his in
terests. Mr.. George and family
are all anxious to get back to
Kerrick and expect to return in
another year. We will be glad
to have them among us again.
| Long slim Bennington was in
town Monday night with his
usual good show and after the
show he put on a dance. A large
crowd attended and everyone en-
joyed the occasion.
1t is respectfully requested
that the ladies Of the Red Cross
society meet at the town hall
Saturday afternoon at 2 p. M,
to decide what they shall order
to work on and we trust a suf-
ficient number can be present to
hold a satisfactory meeting.

McCREA AND DONOVAN
NEXT THURSDAY NIGHT
AT CITY HALL, AUGUSTA

There is a lot of interest being TAX
en- in tomorrow nights bouts at City
hall The sporting fraternity in this sec
ton has always wanted to see Howard
McCrea in action, and as they are
given that chance now they are all
talking and are going to turn out in
large numbers. McCrea is we'll known
for his boxing ability, having met some
of the best boys in New England. In
the past year he has boxed frankie
Young" Britt, Billy Nixon. Phinney
Boyle. (twice each): Billie Meyers. Red
Cap Wilson and Harry Carlson, the
New England lightweight champ"
While Donovan has done a lot of box
ing before the large clubs of Rhode Is
land and Connecticut, he has met such
boys as Johnny Downer Phinney
Boyle, Billy Meyers, Young Blades,
frankie Comfrey and q score of others.
Donovan has for n long time been
seeking bout with frankie Britt but
Britt never liked the idea. This is the
first time Donovan and McCrea have
ever met and will sure be some bout.
There will be three fast bouts between
local boys, All are of the slam-bang
type.

Austin Johnson the milk farmer, of
South Orrington, is known to thou
sands of men and women in Maine.
Like most men in his position Mr..
Johnson is conservative and gives his
opinion only when he is sure.
Not long ago Mr.. Johnson gave an
endorsement of medicine. OF course
that medicine was Tanlac. because no
other medicine ever introduced here
ever won such endorsements.

erage Augustan they would seem the
plainest living. More especially the
fund will be spent to provide extra
care and special food for the sick ard
wounded. Surely it is n worthy cause
and little enough for Augusta citizens
to do for the first men who go to the
front to represent them.
When The Maine troops went to
Mexico the hat was passed TO raise
money for the fund but this tine IT vas
felt by the members of Co. NJ that they
would prefer to give some entertain
rlent and secure the money in this way.
Patriotic citizens co-operated with
them in their work of arranging for
the dance and the members Of the com
pany are selling tickets.
To make it easy for everyone to pYr-
chase, even if they are not called on
by members of the company, tickets
have been placed on sale also at Bth-
er's drug store. They can be secured
also by sending to Capt. Thomas En-
right at City hall. Many people who
will be unable to attend the ball for
one reason and another have ALREADY
bought tickets and the sale today will
undoubtedly be heavy.
The military ball tonight will not on
ly provide patriotic Augustans with an
opportunity Of contributing to worthy
cause but will give them as we'll an
evening Of pleasing amusement. One Of
the features of the ball will be drill
by the company. The Second Regiment
Band will furnish the music.
Invitations have been sent to Adiu-
tant General George Mel. Presson, Col
Frank NJ Hume OF the Second Maine
Infantry and his staff and the head
quarters and supply companies that are
already stationed at the Muster field
This, 1t is expected, will he The last
chance Augusta people will have OF
contributing to this fund. No subscrip-
ton paper will be passed around. II
is needless to say that the people of
Augusta will seize this chance of COM
hining pleasure and patriotic duty by
buving lberally and by attending the
ball tonight
