is partly State aid road and partly plain
road which has been recently graveled
and put in shape for the purpose. The
distance is increased only 2.7 miles, but
many car drivers seem possesset to
force passage past the sign to point
where they meet trouble.
Mrs. Sarah Cheney Skolfield of Bruns-
wick, widow Of Capt. George L. Skolfield
whose recent death after a long illness
was an irremediable loss to his family,
friends and town, is in town for a fort
night, having arrived on Tuesday of last
week. She is accompanied by her daugh-
ter Frances, Mrs. Lawrence Smith, and
staying at the Misses Colcord's, and be-
ing warmly welcomed by the surviving
friends of an earlier day.
The heavy showers of Saturday night
were of much value to inumerable gar
dens in this vicinity. The hay crop is
no longer matter of speculation. 1t is
practically a failure and cows will be
offered at bargain prices this fall; but
there is still hope for the gardens. In
spite of the drought number of straw
berry growers have been able to market
fair crop, notably j. W. Lambert and
Charles Grant.
Frank Moulton came from Boston to
pass the holiday with his parents, accom-
panied by Mrs. Moulton, her mother, Mrs.
johnson, and their friends, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jerre Smith. On the Fourth Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry S. Moulton, had a reunion of
other members of their family by the
presence of Mrs. Annie Verrill Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Rogers of Searsport, Mrs.
Fred Black of Standpoint and the numer-
GUS grandchildren of the family.
Rev. Klaas Oosterhuis, a native of
Holland and graduate of the divinity
school of Tufts college, preached for the
second time in the Universalist church
on Sunday and was greeted by congre-
cation of generous size. Regular ser
vices will be held at 1915 with Sunday
school at II. Mr.. Oosterhuis, who pre-
fers to be called by the English equiva-
lent of Easternhouse, is a far less diff
name might suggest. He has made a
good impression, and being mixer and
a live wire will do much towards the re-
juvenation of the parish.
Misses Inez Hanson, associated with
her aunts, the Misses Decrow of West
Upton, Mass, have bought a building
20X21 and two smaller buildings of the
somewhat moribund Standpoint Ship
building Corporation and had them float
ed around on scows to the head of
Blanchard's cove, where they have been
placed on foundations and will be con-
Verted to summer cottage, which will
be a substantial addition to the group
which has made the locality famous.
Having been part of a government
yard" they were built and sold regardless
of cost and are admirably adapted to the
revised purpose and will be ready for a
good time n everything.
The Current Events club outing and
picnic dinner at the home of Mrs. Ernest
A. Farrls ia the Louder Brook section on
the 9th added another enjoyable incl
dent to the history of the organization.
The hostess for the day had her house
prettily decorated and long table
stretched to accommodate the score of
participants. An unexpected feature of
the occasion was the singing of Mrs.
Walter Simpson, whose voice and man.
ner makes her no stranger to encomi-
ums; and when she was Joined in famil-
lar songs by Madame Farris their duets
were received with enthusiasm. A true
voice at 10 is indeed rare.
A simple correspondent may nod
Jove did. And so his fluctuations ap-
pear tardily for Minard N. Ellis and Miss
Glynnie Emerson whose marriage took
place in Bangor on June 30th with Rev.
Roy M. Trafton as the officiating clergy
man. Thus closes the first chapter of
fine little romance of a most estimable
young woman and veteran of the world
war who CHANGED to be among the first
men drafted from this town at the same
time as his brother Allan, and who saw
much service in hot corners attached to
a machine gun company. The young
couple have established themselves in a
ew home on Cape Jeliison.
