The Bath National bank distributed
to it's customers in need of change
last week, several hundred dollars
worth of new half dollar silver pieces.
These were minted especially for the
| Concord & Lexington century and
F, half celebration last summer and at
! that time sold as souvenirs for dol

value Of fifty cents.
Some of the cities and towns in
various parts of the State are trying
to get together on proposal to keep
the highways clear of snow this win
| ter. 1t is almost a useless PROPOSE
ton unless all of the communities
along the line between the terminals
agree to do their part of the work.
| II there is but a small amount or
snow it is not much of task to keep
the roads clear, but in some winters
| it would be almost impossible and the
task would be costly one-Bath
| Times.
Three Bath young men possessed
of 25 cents worth of sporting blood
lost that amount Saturday evening
. when an extra clerk in clothing
store, in that city insisted that he
could break a belt through chest ex-
pansion. The Three Wise Men poo
pooed his claims and offered to pay
! for the belt should he succeed. new
belt was taken from stock and De-
+, fore an interested group the modern
Sandow frightened the leather about

pop went the belt.
A handsome structure of Colonial
type will be the new parish house
! of the Woodfords Congregational
church to be erected in the near flu
ture on a lot across the street from
! the church building. In appearance
| it is really more suggestive of col
onial mansion than public building,
| for it will be of red brick with trim
mings of white and will have porti-
co and the tall white pillars so sug-
gestive of colonial days. The arrange
] ment of the building will be the last
word in modernity and convenience.
A decided advancement over his
present position as boys secretary of
the Auburn Y. NJ. C. A., is the posi-

Leonard of Auburn. as general Sec

The common supposition is that
people travel to Florida only to dab
BILE in real estate but a quartet of
well known Auburn men who operate
in real estate circles in Maine are
going to Florida for the express pur-
pose of seeing a bull fight. "Del' An
drews, real estate; Frank Downing,
! confectioner; Fred Lancaster, lawyer
and Harold Hall of the Auburn
Wood-Hall Co.. compose the quartet
of bull-fight fans. They leave for
Tampa Tuesday and will stay in
Florida two weeks. It is expected
| that a real estate transaction or two
will take place even though they
claim the bull fight is the only attrac-
ton.
The cold snap Of Saturday night
and Sunday improved conditions in
the electric plants at Milford
and Veazie The flow of the river
slackened somewhat, the back-water
which has been causing all the trou-
| BILE dropped some. increasing the
head. The turbines sent up word to
the generators to speed UP a little.
The indicators wiggled up around 600

iasm. The situation is considered en-
couraging. With the freeze-up the
drift ice has stopped running to a
considerable extent and the flow Of
the river will wear away at the ice
jams which while filing up channel
to the bottom make an effective dam
while they last. But old Penob-
scot. give 1t time, can bore holes
through on it's way to the sea. The
Ellsworth plant is still very much on

When Harold Lamkin left Green
witch, Conn.,, to come to Lewiston to
officiate as best man at the wedding
of his brother, Raymond c. Lamkin
of Auburn and Miss Rubie c. Field of
Lewiston last Thursday afternoon,
the thought of such a thing as being
late or of getting lost never once en-
tered his head, says The Lewiston
Sun. He also thought he realized the
| importance of promptness at we'd
ding. While no formal explanation
has been offered, and those said to
be in possession of the true story,
