IN Ellsworth. Mrs. Lunt was in her

by one son and three daughters-
William T. Lunt, now OF Auburn,
Mrs. LinscOtt, Mrs. Nelson Bridges
and Mrs. Margaret Marshall, of ELS
worth.
Nathan H. Boynton of Lamoine.
aged seYenty-nine years, is just cut
ting new lower front tooth, and is
as tickled over it as a boy with his
first long pants. 1t furnishes. too,
an illustration of the scripturaI
passage, "To him that hath shall be
given, for Mr.. Boynton already has
twelve sound teeth on his upper jaw
and ten on his lower jaw. This. saws
Dr. Latin of Ellsworth, who discoy-
cred the new arrival by X-ray, is in
itself unusual for a man of Mr..
Boynton's age.
The Hancock County Farm Bureau
News says that according to A. X.
Gardner, orchard specialist for the
extension service for the State of
Maine, H. Fremont Maddocks of
North Ellsworth has the best North
ern Spy apples in the State The
News adds: I'VE allow Mr. Gardner
knows, as he travels over this State
as many times as county agent
travels over county" 1t is no
small honor to Ellsworth to be famed
as the home of the best Northern Spy
in Maine. To Mr. Maddocks it is
more than an honor-it is a reward
for persistent and well-directed eff
fort. Mr.. Maddocks was the pioneer
in scientific orcharding in this sec
tion of Maine, and he deserves the re-
ward he is now reaping. The har-
vesting time is now on at his
orchard, and it is we'll worth visit
About 200 democratic men and
women of Ellsworth and Hancock
county enjoyed a get-together and
supper at Odd Fellows hall last Sat
urday evening. After an excellent
supper prepared by Caterer Hollis
e. Anderson, speechmaking was in
order, with Herbert l.. Graham of
Bar Harbor, chairman of the demo-
cratic county committee, presiding
The feature of the evening was the
announcement of the candidacy of
Fulton j. Redman of Ellsworth for
| the democratic nomination for U. S.
senator. Speakers of the evening
were Mr.. Redman, Hon. w. r. Pat
| tangall of Augusta, who will un-
! doubtedly be the democratic candi-
| date for governor next year; Mrs.
Pattangall, who is the Maine woman
member of the democratic national
committee; Daniel w. Cony of Au-
gusta, himself half-his better half
oh n Of 40
democratic State committee, and Mrs
| Richard o. Elliott of Thomaston,
president of the Maine federation of
| democratic women's clubs.
Another great horned owl has
gone the way of those caught in the
henpens of Lyndon McGown of
Ellsworth and Howard Young of
Hancock. Last Monday night Her
| bert E. Scribner of Elm street was
aroused by unearthly boots and
screams as of some wild animal
| close to his house. Only those who
have heard the rare scream of the
great horned owl or the barred owl,
| can realize the noise they can make,
Mr.. Scribner heard it, and can be
pardoned for believing he had a wild
animal to contend with. Selling his
shotgun, and not stopping to don any
extra clothing, he went out the front
door and crept cautiously around the
house. The noises ceased. Possibly
the owl was struck dumb with aston
ishment at the sight of the ghostly
figure with a gun coming around the
corner of the house. 1t would have
made funny picture on the screen,
Mr.. Scribner happened to glance up
to the branches of a tree close to the
house, and saw two great eyes shin
ing at him. There was a report of a
gun, and another great horned owl
had paid the penalty for indulging in
a fOndness for poultry.
