THE REPUBLICAN JOURNAL THURSDAY. MARCH o. 1910

Belfast Boy Scouts are claiming to
have the largest percentage of ''high
rank" Scouts in any Troop in the State of
Maine.
Several items of news have been sent
to The Journal signed friend, ETC., and
it seems necessary to repeat that it is a
rule never to use items without the sig
nature of the sender.
A recent letter from Mr. and Mrs. Rob-
ert F. Russ, who are spending the winter
in St Cloud, Fla, states that they have
bought winter home including a house
and two lots of land. They are pleased
with its location, etc.

In the local of last week referring to
the brick house on Church street, recent
ly bought by Capt. Herbert H. Stevens,
it was stated that the house was built by
VIM. G. Veazie. This idea was general
ly current, but several who had a person
al interest in the house suggested 10 king
through the deeds at the Waldo County
found that Charles Giles bought the land
of the Belfast Academy trustees in 1850
and in 1856 sold the same, also with
buildings to Josiah Simpson. Aug Is,
| 1860, Josiah Simpson sold to VIM. G.
| Veazie These records substantiate the
| impression of the descendants of its first
owners A still older deed shows that
| A. N Noyes sold the land to the Academy
| trustees.
There were many Scouts at the Monday
evening meeting and the Beaver Patrol
established the best record in department.
| The program was an interesting one. Ar
mand Smith was elected to membership
