JUNIOR SPEAKING CONTEST.
Interesting Exhibition at Hancock
Hall, Followed by Dance.

There was a large attendance at
the junior prize speaking contest at
Hancock hall last Friday evening,
and the program presented was one
of real interest and pleasure, aside
from the contest feature involved in
it.
The program was printed in The
American last week. The judges
were M. Y McGown, chairman; Supt.
of Schools G.. o. Turner and Mrs. e
j. Collins, and they had no easy task
to award the prizes. They were
finally announced by Mr.. McGown as
follows: For girls, Ellie Priest, with
honorable mention for Marion Gas
par; for boys, George Partridge, with
honorable mention for Thomas Pink
ham, Chandler Richmond, Herva Day
and Horace Estey. The. judges can
didly admit that in making the award
for boys, they were unable to decide,
of such uniform excellence were all,
and they allowed the volume of APP
plause each received from the audi
ence to determine the winner for
them. In making the announcement
from the stage, the name of Herva
Day was unfortunately omitted, but
should have been included The
prizes were IS gold pieces, con-
tributed by the Union Trust Co.
and the Liberty National Bank.
Dancing followed the contest, with
music by Moore's orchestra of Bar
Harbor. This dance takes the place
of the customary Junior prom"
which has been eliminated this year,
each of the two upper classes to put
on a dance instead. 1t is pleasing to
note the contest and dance Fri
day evening was financial as we'll as
a social success.

Obituary.
CLIFTON WOODWARD

oIiE L OIN w ooD w AMI,
Clifton Woodward, lifelong
resident of Ellsworth, and one of it's
best-known citizens, died early Fri
day morning at his home on Water
street, after an illness of little more
than two weeks. AS told in The
American last week, Mr. Woodward
suffered slight shock on New Years
day, but kept about the house until
week later, when his physician or
dered him to bed. He grew steadily
worse until the end.
Mr.. Woodward was born in Ellis
worth September IS, 1858, the
youngest in the family of the late
Matthew and Julia Whitaker Wood
ward and had always lived here. AS
with many of the boys of those days,
work called him from school while
still a boy. OF naturally rug
ged constitution, and industrious, no
work was too hard for him in his
youth, and he spared himself nothing
IN his work, as years advanced. For
the past twenty-three years he had
been local manager and distributor
for the Standard Oil Co., which took
him into the neighboring towns of
the county and enlarged his circle of
acquaintance and friends.
Of genial disposition, always ready
with laugh or a joke, he was well
coined everywhere, and was the life
of every gathering in which he was
found No one would think of as
sociating age with Cliff Woodward,
and though he had lived the biblical
allotment of three score and ten, he
n6 in cnirit
was member of Lejok lodge and
Nokomis Rebekah lodge, |. o. o. F.,
and in no circle outside the home
will he be more missed than in the
gathering of these orders, where he
was always found. He was also a
member of the Unitarian Laymen' S
League.
Mr.. Woodward was twice married.
His first wife, Hattie Jordan, died in
early womanhood, leaving him one
daughter, Maude, who later, in her
invalidism, became the tender care of
himself and his second wife, Louise
Foster, whom he married thirty years
ago. His daughters death brought a
great sadness into his life, and when,
four years ago, a granddaughter,
Eleanor Higgins, who had come to fill
the place of a daughter in the home,
fell a victim of influenza, the grief
was one from which he never recov-
cred. His wife survives him, and the
sympathy of many friends goes out to
her. He leaves also one sister, Mrs
Julia Morang of Ellsworth.
The funeral was held at the home
Sunday afternoon, Rev. G. T. Jones
officiating. The large attendance of
friends, and the profusion of flowers,
including beautiful pieces from the
Standard Oil Co and the orders to
which he belonged, bore testimony to
the esteem in which he was held.
The bearers were Frank e. Gray, DR..
George S. Hagerthy, Harry S. Jones
and Walter J. Clark, jr. Interment
was at WOodbine cemetery.
