GEORGE II. ERSKINE,

George II. Erskine of Morrill, died at
his home, Nov. 18th, after an illness of
several months. He had been in poor
health for the dast six years and failed
gradually in the past few months. He was
tenderly cared for during that time by his
devoted wife, who is left to mourn her
loss. Mr. Erskine was born in Morril
and the greater part Of his life was spent
in that cinity. He was a member of the
Baptist Church, Civil War veteran and
a member of the order of Masons. Rev.
Nathan Hunt officiated at the funeral,
which was held at his home. Mrs. Nathan
Hunt and Mrs. Roy Paul, with Mrs. T. N.
Pearson at the organ, beautifully render
ed his favorite hymns, "Safe in the Arms
of Jesus, Beautiful Isle of Somewhere"
and 'Shall we Meet" MIR. Hunt read
Crossing the Bar" by Tennyson. Mr..
Erskine will be greatly missed, as he had
most cheerful disposition, which won
him many friends. The floral tributes
were many and beautiful He leaves be-
sides his widow, one sister, Mrs Sarah
Cole of Burnham; one brother, Simon
Erskine of Montville. Interment was in
the Morrill, cemetery.

supply for our factories, and will adver-
use Belfast more than any other one
thing
This is not the job of any one or anv
few, but belongs to all. The assistance
OF all is invited. The credit when the
schoolhouse Is obtained will not be due
to any one or any few, but to those who
through their contributions have made it
possible. 1t is an undertaking which
should not drag along. To delay contri-
buttons is to deny them. The whole mat
ter should be closed in at once. The
longer 1t drags, the less the momentum.
The way to assist is to aasist. The way
to do thing is to do it.
Belfast has been trying for the last Is
years to obtain new school building. 1t
is now within our grasp. 1t is up to YOU,
citizens of Belfast, with the aid which
the Committee is soliciting and obtain
ing from former residents and friends.
There are still $500 and 81 900 subscrip-
tions that should be made We must
have S35, 900 in these amounts. Will
you not take this situation more serious
ly and act at once? Unless the object is
accomplished, all subscriptions must be
cancelled and the money collected re-
turned The Committee cannot work in
! definitely on this Job. 1t should be done
and must be done. Then let US do it now!

Dorothy Phillips, Wednesday.

Geneva French thought that she would
be able to do as she pleased when she
married Lawrence Tabor the youngest
member of her stern fathers circle of
friends
To her the marriage ring meant dec
laration Of independence. She neither
loved, honored, nor obeyed.
In the unrestrained pursuit Of happi-
ness and freedom she became involved
with a man-about- town Her name be-
came linked with his in society gossip
and her honor was a Jest to be banded
about among men.
Yet through a most ingenious trick of
psychology her husband was able to bring
her to her senses and to make of her d
coed wife; and what is more, a good
mother
How this was accomplished forms the
theme Of 'The Talk of the Town." a
photodrama starring beautiful Dorothy

One of the most helpful and encourag-
ing union Thanksgiving meetings in re-
cent years was held at the Unitarian
church last Sunday evening with a large
audience present. Excellent music was
furnished by the regular choir with Mrs
Clement w. Wescott soloist. The pastor,
Rev. Arthur E. Wilson, presided. The
responsive reading was conducted by Rev
George c. Sauer of Dexter, the candidate
at the Baptist church. Prayer was Of
fered by Rev. Charles w Martin of the
Methodist church. A collection Of $25, so
was taken as an Offering for the
Gi. Is Home Rev George C. Boorn of
the Universalist church preached on
"What shall it profit man if he should
gain the whole world and lose his own
SOUL" MI Boorn substituted the word
nation for man and made his discourse
national instead of personal. He touched
on all the vital questions of the day be-
fore the American people and his dis
course was filled with high ideals and
aspirations. He read an account of the
first Thanksgiving in this country and
contrasted it with what we have to be
thankful for today. The schools and
churches are among the vital forces that
will save the nations soul in its present
rush for gain of wealth, etc. He styled
the church as the power house of broth
erly love, sane living and Christian ideals.
The sermon was highly complimented by
representatives from all the city churches
present. Rev. VIM. Vaughan pronounced
the benediction.

The Peirce School Annual Fair.

About five hundred people attended the
annual fair of the Peirce school Wednes-
day evening, Nov. 10Th. There were
three most encouraging features of this
of the teachers, the enthusiastic support
of the pupils and general interest of the
public. There was an atmosphere of
home about the reception, the good
cheer, the bright lights and attractive
rooms and corridors. Their menagerie
contained many handsome specimens of
dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, ducks, hens,
etc. There was the fortune teller's tent,
the freak department, the sales tables of
ice cream, soft drinks and pop corn con-
coctlons, which were literally patron
lied The Belfast band was a great
feature, particularly to the pupils. The
lawn was bright with strings of electric
lights and an out Of door concert would
have been given but for the snow storm.
About SITS were netted to be expended

ing programs were carried out by grades
