Here's oneto make the smart old
men and women of Maine sit up and
take notice. No one would call Mrs.
Emily Carter of West Brooksville
"old," however. Mrs. Carter had
some business in Ellsworth last Fri
day, so she walked over-a little
jaunt of twenty-seven miles. Anyone
who knows the condition of the roads
in this section in Fridays thaw and
rain will realize that it wasn't sum-
mer stroll. Mrs. Carter got a ride
small part of the way, between Surry
and Ellsworth. She wanted to start
back in the rain and slush Saturday,
but Ellsworth friends prevailed upon
her to remain over. Sunday morn
ing, about 8 o'clock, she started for
home, on foot, for she said she had to
be there in time to get supper.
Mrs. George N Worden received a
telegram from Mr.. Worden last
night announcing that he had ac-
cepted the position of county leader
of boys and girls clubs for Clallam
county, washington, WIN neaQquar-
ters at Port Angeles. If Clallam
county doesn't know it already,
Hancock county would like to tell
her that she's got the right man,
worth coming all the way across the
continent for. Mrs. Worden and
Miss Sprague will leave for the West
next week.
Roy Young OF Lamoine lost a
horse on the Lamoine road Satur-
day evening. The horse got down
in the snow just beyond the Beech
land corner, and in wallowing
around got deep into the snow and
slush. After trying for some time
to get the animal up alone, he went
for assistance. When he returned,
the horse was dead from exhaustion
and chill. 1t was at first reported
that the horse had drowned in the
main road, which would not have
been surprising if he had fallen on
the fiat this side of the Beechland
sehoolhouse, where there was more
than foot of water across the road
in places.
