BLACK HAND LET
TER THREATENS
CHIN WHISPERS

Houlton, Me-, May 1.-THE entire
county here in general as we'll as the
surrounding sections of the State, is
talking about the Black Hand letter
received by a resident Of Linneus,
Mr.. A. P. Bennett. He was sitting
reading as is his custom after sup
per, when suddenly the quiet of the
evening was broken by terrific ex-
plosion that fairly shook the house.
Rushing to the door to find the cause
of the noise, Mr.. Bennett noticed 4
large piece of cardboard on the
floor of the piazza. Picking it up
and examining it he found the fol-
lowing threat printed thereon:
"a. p. Bennett,
"Shave your chin whiskers off in
three days or your doom will be
sealed.
THE BLACK HAND
"BEWARE."
Heading the communication was
the proverbial Black Hand just as
black as ink could make it and at
the end after the signature appeared
a skull and crossbones all in regular
style as is reported in the accounts
of threats of like nature.

FAYETTE
Arbor Day, 1921

Out of stern Winters rugged way
Comes now, the bright and blooming
May!
With the spring times freshness laden
Like the fair and blushing maiden,
Leaps she forth in all her charms
From the Frost Kings icy arms!
Thrice welcome, Natures Offering
We love thee, for the gifts thou'lt
bring,
For sunny skies refreshing showers,
The singing birds. the fragrant flowers,
The sweet DEMONSTRATING vine.
Where. all day long, the dew drops
shine,
Whose rival yet no cline has known:
Belongs, bright May, to thee alone.
o peerless flower. that dost iltume
The bridal altar and the tomb.
My steadfast friend, still wandering
free,
AS when in youth, searched for thee,
o. halcyon days, 0, season blest,
Who will not say, love thee besti
Come pastimes, now-the heart to
cheer,
With MAY day"-merriest of the year.
Thou claimest. too. o Lovely May,
The sadly sweet Memorial Day.
Again. upon thy list proclaimed
Is Arbor day, of Heavn ordained:
no man appoints, us goa decree
Make sunshine, strew Lies blessings,
free!
Make the waste places pleasant. fair,
With tree and shrub transplanted
there.
Train DER the door the climbing vine
And near it plant the columbine;
Uproot the rank, unsightly weed,
Displace it for the goodly seed
Ger the roadside's rough. gray wall,
Let the willow branches fall
And in their shaded, cool retreat,
Protect the wild fiow'r fair, and sweet
The strangers hand thine own would
press,
His silent gratitude confess.
Kneel by the grave of buried love.
And still thine hearts affection prove.
While grass grows green and violets
come
Plant there the rare Chrysanthemum.
For with it's pure and fra grant bloom
Will vanish loneliness and gloom.
Thus he obeys the high command
Who Sows good seed with lavish hand
That, yielding richness. shall adorn
And crown with blessings lives I'M
born.
Full measure shall return to thee.
Good works their own reward shall he
