First to illustrate Bible.

No one knows who was the first to
illustrate the Bible, Much of this
work was done in converts, many Of
which kept a large number of monks
constantly at work making copies Of
the Bible by hand. 1t may be that
descriptions of angels were handed
down by tradition from the shepherds
or others processing to have seen these
celestial visitors; also, in the descrip-
ton of the angel at the sepulchre it
was said, Ills raiment was as white
as snow" (Matthew, 80 How
ever, on the whole it may be safely
said that pictures Of angels are fanci-

presses his own ideas of the beautiful

FOURTH OF JULY.
Plans for Celebration in Ellsworth
This Year.

4
This Year.
The Ellsworth board of trade Will
ioin with the Hancock County Fair
Association in grand celebration
on the Fourth There will be band
concerts, minor sports and grand
auto parade, and the new bridge will
NE dedicated to those who lost their
lives in the late war. The forenoon
events will all be down town
After dinner there will be ball
games at the new fair grounds, with
a chance for some of the farmers
and those who love horse race to
participate in racing on the new
track. There will be a peg race
tharnessing horse and driving one
half mile), a slow race for the horse
that is the longest time going a half
mile without stopping, farmer
race for the horse that goes half
mile nearest to a given time and
many other novelties.
The grand auto parade will be one
of the features of the day, as the
committee will put on the best parade
ever seen in Ellsworth. A purse OF
500 is offered for this event. Every
owner of a car in Ellsworth is asked
to cooperate in making this grand
success, if not for the prize, at least
for the spirit of cooperation which
seems to be universal this year. AS
a fine example of this, the Hancock
County Agricultural Society Of Blue
hill has voted to cooperate with
Ellsworth on July 4; also those
prominent in arranging for an an
nual celebration at Bar Harbor de
cided to unite with Ellsworth this
year. With this spirit shown in the
surrounding towns, a big time is sure
to result. Then when Bluehill has
it's celebration for the hospital, and
Bar Harbor celebrates on Labor day,
the people should show their APP
probation by giving those people
good crowds.
In the evening there will be band
concerts and a special display of
fireworks, the best in Ellsworth for
many years. The day will close
with a grand ball at Hancock hall.
other special features will be an
nounced later.
