Inc Hancock county probate court,
at its regular term yesterday, assess
ed inheritance taxes amounting to
SCI, ,5S5.13 With the exception of
possibly few big single estates,
this is probably the largest assess
ment ever made in a day in any pro-
bate court in the State. The assess
ment was on several estates.
Owing to the storm last week. the
meeting of the Thursday club was
omitted. The club will meet this
week with Mrs. r. B. Mathews. At
ter the clubs meeting, the postponed
organization of the missionary socie-
ty will be effected. All ladies of the
Congregational church interested in
forming such a society are invited to
be present.
Beginning March Is, Portland will
become the auditing postoffice for all
third and fourth-class postoffices in
Maine. Ellsworth, which has been
the auditing office for the third and
fourth-class postoffices of Hancock
| county, will be affected by the change.
The lessening of the work at this
office will probably release the aux
iliary clerk now employed.

The first local freight for seven
teen days arrived in Ellsworth this
| morning, and will relieve the food
shortage, which was becoming seri-
Gus. Not since the railroad was
built has there been such an inter-
| ruption of freight traffic as this
delay of two days heretofore has
been called big delay, says Station
Agent Wiggin. The fuel situation
remains serious. Mr. Jones, mana
ger for the Grindal estate, reports
this morning only about, five tons of
coal of all kinds hard and soft, on
hand. He has been supplying de-
mands in small allotments as he
could, hoping to tide over the short
age. Very little wood is moving as
yet. The grain shortage is not as
yet acute, but the drain on the sup
ply in hand is big as the farmers be-
gin to get in. The moving of freight
however will probably forestall any
serious shortage in grain.

Otis, March 1.-The deaths of Mar
tin A. Garland and his wife at Green
Lake within a week, after a brief ill
ness of influenza and pneumonia,
have deeply affected and shocked
this community. Mrs. Garland died
Monday night, Feb, %, and her hus-
band the following Saturday. Mrs.
Garland, before her marriage six
years ago, was Miss Mary Warren of
Otis, young woman of many rare
attributes of character and high at
tainments. She was one whose
charm made her everywhere beloved.
Her appreciation ofeverything beau
tiful made her capable of appreciat-
ing life's value.
The death of Mrs. Garland takes
from the widowed mother, Mrs. Mar
tha Warren, daughter whose de-
votion was one of her most beautiful
characteristics.
Martin A, Garland; formerly of
Lakewood, was young man of good
education, a natural leader, and a
Christian, He held a place in life
that will be hard to fill. For few
years he taught school, retiring to
devote himself to farming. About a
year ago he was appointed appren-
tice fish culturist, and attached to
the government hatchery at Green
Lake, where he was making rapid
advancement. For some time he was
postmasterat Lakewood, and it was
through his efforts that the rural
route in this section was established.
While master of Mariaville grange,
he was an inspiration and honor. He
had also served as lecturer of the
Pomona grange.
The death of this worthy couple
orphans two little daughters, four
and two years old, and brings sad
nesst many near and dear relatives.
Hosts of friends everywhere are con-
scious of an irreparable loss.

that there is a clear distinction be

His day the ruling classes consist
ed of these three: The kink and his

as the PhariSeeS and PrinceSSeS,
constituting the financial power;
and the PrieStly class, constituting
