UNION TRUST COMPANY.
Past Year Has Been Prosperous
One for This Bank.


One for This Bank.
The annual meeting Of the stock
holders of the Union Trust Co. of
Ellsworth was held yesterday. The
stock was well represented, showing
the interest taken in the bank by
the stockholders.
The statement of earnings pre-
scented to the stockholders was very
gratifying, and one of which any in
stitution should be proud. The
earnings were in excess of previous
years, showing that the year just
closed was one of unusual
prosperity.
The following directors were
elected. George l.. Beck, VIM. F.
Campbell, Fred A. Chandler, Edwin
V. Coffin, Henry G. Emery, Edward
M. Graham, Henry H. Gray, George
s. Hagerthy, Edwin L.. Haskell, Har-
ward H. Havey, Henry H. Higgins,
Frank l.. Hodgkins, l.. Elrie Holmes,
Bernard S. Jellison, Frank w. Lunt,
A. R. Mace, A H. Mayo, Frank G.
Nash, Frank P. Noyes, John w.
Paris, Forrest B. Snow, Arthur l..
Somes, Omar w. Tapley, Thomas S.
Tapley, Benjamin B. Whitcomb,
Galen H. Young.
An executive board was elected as
follows: Omar w. Tapley, Bernard
S. Jellison, Frank G. Nash, George
S. Hagerthy, Henry H. Higgins.
The directorate is made up of men
of affairs of Hancock and Washing
ton counties, who have been success
full in the conduct of their own bust
ness.
The Union Trust Co. has a capital
of 100000, surplus and undivided
profits of over $150,O0O, and assets
well up to $2,500,000. 1t has facili-
ties for handling it's business not
excelled by any bank in this section
of the State, and it's officers and di-
rectors endeavor to conduct the bust
ness of the institution so that it's
clients may enjoy the fullest con-
fidence in it.
The bank operates in all the regu-
lar banking departments. 1t has
paid depositors in the past year up
wards of $4,000 in interest. The
number of depositors in the institu-
ton is about $500 being principally
in Hancock and Washington coun-
ties. Over 100 new accounts have
been opened the past year. The
bank maintains agencies at Cherry
field and fremont, which are par
ticularly well patronized and APP
preciated by the communities they
serve.
In keeping with the progressive
policy of the institution, it will COM
mence to pay it's dividends in the
savings department quarterly instead
of semi-annually This will give it's
depositors distinct advantage over
the old system of half-yearly divi-
dends.

SCOUT NOTES.
(By the Scribes.)

The Boy Scouts met for the first
time in their new headquarters by
the kind permission of Judge Peters.
There were about thirty present.
Sherborn Frederic was admitted to
the troop to take the place of one of
the boys who dropped out. 1t was
voted to purchase curtains for the
windows, and also to go on a hike
Saturday, January Z. Twelve of the
boys enjoyed the hike to Contention
Cove, starting at $50. Assistant
Scoutmaster Barron, who proposed
the hike, arrived at the headquarters
one hour late. AS punishment, he
and Patrol Leader Partridge walked
all the way to Surry village and
back, fourteen miles, without meet
ing the boys. All of the boys ex-
cepting Newall Haynes passed the
fire-building test, and every boy
passed the half-mile tracking test
and the one-mile running test.
Aston Wheelden cooked his meat
and potatoes, and Merle Cronkhite
cooked his meat. Lunch was eaten
around the fire. All the boys thor
oughly enjoyed the hike. A few of
the boys, on their return home, en-
joyed the coasting on a pair of hobs
generously loaned the Scouts by Paul
Tapley. The hobs were christened
THE Scouts"
The meeting of the Boy Scouts
next week will be at $50 instead of
7.3O, when the first of series of
talks will be given by Scoutmaster
Brookes on Public Speaking"

School closed Friday for the winter
recess The attendance has been the
largest in years. This school in the
nast, has given the various superin-
tendents much concern, owing to a
small attendance and the difficulty of
obtaining responsible teachers. A
careful canvass among the pupils dur
inE the past four years-and this your
correspondent believes a fair way to
get at results-brings out the fact
that the most successful work has
been done by teachers who are resi-
dent here. Not alone in this school
have these results been obtained, but
similar report comes from the Par
fridge Cove district.

Winter, as if it were an evil spirit,
seems to take delight in making bad
things worse. Rheumatism twists
harder, twinges sharper, catarrh be-
comes more annoying, and the many
symptoms of scrofula are developed
and aggravated These are common
diseases. and it is a wonder that more
people don't get rid of them.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has been very
successful in the treatment of these
complaints. 1t is easily obtained, and
there is abundant testimony that it's
effects are radical and permanent.
In cases where a laxative or
cathartic is needed, it is well to sup
plement Hoods Sarsaparilla with
Hoods Pills, which are gentle, thor
ough and effective.-Advt.

ELLSWORTH High LOSES.
The game between Ellsworth A.

gor at Hancock hall last Friday
evening was close and exciting,
though the final score, 3S to %
against Ellsworth, does not indicate
it. In the first period the visitors
took the lead, 14-S, but in the sec.
ond period the Ellsworth boys held
them scoreless, while they forged
ahead to tie score, 1414, at the
end of the period. Then the Ban
gor boys got busy, and the third
period was all theirs.
Next Friday evening at Hancock
hall the Ellsworth A. G. team will
play the Great Northern five, of
Bangor.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
Port Movement.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 11.-Reports
OF widespread deterioration in the belt
put the price of cotton higher from the
opening today. Considerable liquidation
by holding of long contracts who want
ed their profits met the advances but
recessions were not wide. At the high
est Of the day the trading months were
Ga to 70 points over yesterdays close
with October up to PLOT. On the close
the list showed net gains of 46 to 81
points with October at 1880.
In the early trading the much higher
Liverpool market than due was an i'm
portant factor, and there also were
claims in private kilograms that New
England mills were bare of material
supplies. A little later rumors of bet
ter turn in the rail strike situation,
and more favorable cablegrams to loo
al brokerage concerns from several
points in Europe regarding the allied
conference were a help to the market,
but during the greater part of the ses-
sion the drouth in the western belt,
too much rain in some sections OF the
Atlantic increasing weevil and other
insect damage and evidence that de-
terioration was increasing generally,
were the main trading influences.
A private bureau report on mid
month condition of 69.4 per cent, of
normal indicating deterioration since
the July period of 5.5 points was the
outstanding feature of the middle OF
the morning session and it helped to
carry prices to their highest levels.
