The Farmers dance at Denslow hall on
the night of the 4th proved an enjoyable
affair for the dancing contingent Nc
Keen's orchestra rather outdid themselves
entering into the spirit of the occasion
with effective customes, and playing with
toe tickling pep.
Joseph NJ. Staples and Lewis A. Bar
rett will build silos at their farms the
coming season and plant considerable
amount of ensilage corn, the silos OF

The Stockton Springs Trust Co. has
offered to come to the aid of any of the
local depositors of the Belfast Savings
Ba nix, by accepting their bank books for
accommodation loans. While the total
due to local depositors is rather larger

has to do with the establishment of
fuel oil station at the big docks on Cape
Jellisan. Such an enterprise, should 1t
msterialize, would not greatly aid the

izing those range lights which mark the
Way into superb harbor

Saturday was day worth mentioning:
and Trundy who had his radio properly
tuned to the correct wave length heard
frog-or was it toad-anyway, 1t was the
first peep of the season and worth listen
ing to. The sunshine and heat brought
out the usual myriad of flies on the gress,
south of the church building, which dis

is an annual phenomenon, and 1t would be
most satisfactory if some one would rlse
| to explain il. But they can't be swatted.
| And still it is told that a crow or raven
is about the cape docks which has white
/ feathers in its wings. Efforts to shoot
4 it have failed.
