where evident about the little city

Consequently the ~far-seeing bust

~struction company and to lease from
It the spacious hotel of 26 Dor with
every cnvenience for hi comfort Of
its patrons.
The theater has been closed for
some time and for hat reason the

SON TAKES over LEADERSHIP OF FLOCK
after FATHERS HALF CENTURY SERVICE
IN LITTLE QUAKER CHURCH, MANCHESTER

Especial to The Kennebec Journal)
Manchester. Me. Nov. 1.-THE
services at the little Quaker church
on the hill this morning, were of
an unusually impressive character
by reason of Rev. l. w. Hawkes.,
this being the SSth anniversary of
his birth. resigning into the keeping
of his son, Alfred w. Hawkes., tie
leadership of service in the church.
This leadership. which corresponds
to pastorate, the Rev. Mr.. Hawkes.
has occupied for so years. No
emoluments other than conscious
ness of service and such reward as
that may bring. attaches to that po-
sitiOn. Prior. to taking the leader
ship. Mr.. Hawkes. had from early
youth been a devoted worker in the
church.
The thought upon which he spoke
was of Divine Leadership. He re-
ferred to the 9th and 10th verses of
the eighth chapter of Hebrews that
relate when the Lord took them
by the hand to lead them out of the
land of Egypt" They had not kept
their part of the covenant Obedi-
ence is essential if we would profit
from this leadership. And then the
Lord had made another covenant:
Il will put my laws into their mind,
and write them in their hearts"
Laws written in the hearts of men
make for obedience.
Especially. he said, he liked the
sentiment of those words, the Lord
taking them by the hand and lead
ing them and writing His laws in
their hearts, Then he related out
of his long experience of the evil
dences he had received of Divine
leadership, and the simplicity and

Augusta Hunter Gets
Big Bob Cat Upper
Part of the State

A wild cat. more commonly known
as bob cat in this State, was on
display in the window of the Smoke
shop, Saturday, and attracted con-
siderable attention and comment. The
animal was shot by Harold A. Pack
ard during his recent hunting trip to
Penobscot Lake. This particular
cat was handsome creature and
weighed close to 80 pounds. which in
larger than the average. Mr.. Pack
ard reports that he killed this cat
over the partly devoured carcass of
a deer which had evidently been
felled by the cat.
The State pays bounty of SO
each for the Milling of these destruc-
tive animals. Their pelts are quite
valuable and priced as furs, but
hunters who are successful in kill
ing them oftentimes pass up the
State bounty and have their trophy
mounted. To collect the bounty it
is necessary to return to the State
officials the nose of the wild cat to
establish proof of the killing.
