One of the few black walnut trees
in Maine is that on the property con-
nected with the old Drummond
homestead in Phippsburg, now occu-
pied by Capt. A. +. Williams. NJ. K.
c., and his family. The tree, which
was struck by lightning a number of
years ago, and is in poor condition,
but is still landmark of great in
terest. The house itself, with it's
wonderful wainscoting and wood
work, and graceful lines. is a fine
example of the sturdy buildings of
. bygone years. One of the most beau
tiful features of the house is
spiral staircase, winding to the Gu

markedly fine.

SO onerous that houses are finding it
difficult to arrive at policy to be

cling statesmen is expected 70 in

omission mentioned extended:
1t is not our policy to brag over
'luch but when we do put ANYTHING
over we don't believe in allowing the
TACT to fade away like a puff of
smoke before the East wind. Last
week. we made what is known in the
newspaper world as a grand come in
i regard to our conf1agration. Not a
newspaper from Kittery Point to the
o. Francis Round house even men
.ioned it. And then talk about news
peins scarce. If a one eyed Billy goat
/ should go on a Johnson's I.iniment
drink, both Bangor papers world do
vote column or two to the enisode
OF even let mud turtle sun himself
on Argyle boom and tie associated
press sends down its special for an
interview. That's all bpsh. There is
JUST as much news as there was ever
II Just question of the early bird
ana the early worm.
