pleasing and complete report of the
convention, emphasizing the neces-
sity for cooperation between church
and school and making a plea for
parents everywhere to do all in their
power that the children may receive
the maximum benefit from the
church and the public school. Regu-
lar attendance and close and SYM
pathetic association are necessary
means to this end.
A trio, composed of Mrs. Rida
Lingo, Mrs. Hetty Lingo and w. j..
Rose rendered a special song fea-
ture, by request. The mems Bible
class known as 1.-The Gideonites" and
composed of about one hundred
members, had very large attend
ance, in spite of the inclement wea-
ther. All were gratified with class
president, E. c. Ryan's report OF the
home mission work OF the class as
accomplished during the past week.
This class has a fund set aside to
be used to assist needy individuals
in the community. From it small
boy was completely outftted at the
clothing store of w. P. Monroe this

day school.
The people of Millsboro are oppos-
ed to anglers using the local waters

Blocked ROads-N1iss Ruth Fields
Wins Cup in Teachers Contest.
The Ellsworth food fair and carni-
val came to a close Saturday night,
after a successful week of merry
making. Every day of the fair was
enjoyed by those attending.
Wednesday, heavy snowstorm
kept many from the hall, causing the
attendance to fall below expecta-
lions. Balloons went sailing about
the hall, regardless of the storm, and
lively competition was shown in at
tempting to gain possession OF the
rubber spheres.
At the streamer ball, Thursday
night, dancers were bombarded with
endless chains of many-colored
streamers, and Friday night, Lin
coins birthday was observed by a
good time in which many fun-hunt-
ing people took part.
The last night of the fair and
carnival drew a good attendance to
the Valentine ball, and it proved to
be a time certainly worthy OF a
crowd. The true Valentine spirit
was shown throughout the evening,
and there was no thought of leaving
the hall until the orchestra had
PLAYED for the last dance and mad
packed its instruments.
In the teachers voting contest for
the most popular teacher in ELS
worth, Miss Ruth Fields, teacher at
the high school, won the cup. The
contest lasted all through the week
of the fair. the outcome remaining
undecided until the last day of the
fair, when Miss Fields was &C
claimed the winner.
The fair association hopes to show
a profit for the week but the I'M
favorable weather cut down the re-
ceipts considerably. 1t is hoped,
however, there will be balance on
the right side Of the ledger, after all
the effort of the association to liven
the winter in Ellsworth. The officers
of the association ask that any per
sons having claims against the as
ISOLATION would please send in
their bills as soon as possible

THREATENING FIRE
Ellsworth Firemen Stamp Out Lively Blaze
in Business Center.

The business section of Ellsworth
was threatened by fire Thursday
night, when the Brown block, be-
tween STATIONS variety store and
the Luchini building was burned.
The street floor of the building was
occupied by the Shapiro Sample
Shop, the second floor by The Hat
Shop. owned by Mrs. Fred Silvy.
Both shops were badly damaged,
the Shapiro Sample Shop suffering
most.
About 10 o'clock Thursday night,
City Marshal Sauart nticed smoke
coming from among the buildings
on Main street, but was unable to
locate from which building it came.
Realizing that there was a fire in
one of the stores, he called the fire
department. BY the time the truck
reached the street, flames had
broken through the rear part of the
Brown block. Lines of hose were
speedily laid by Driver Weaver, and
within very short time streams Of
water were being played over the
burning building.
1t was an extremely difficult fire
to fight. Dense smoke beat the
firemen back from every quarter,
and a high wind made the task
doubly hard Despite such OBJ
stacles, the pIucky ffremen fought
dauntlessly against wind, smoke and
flame, and won notable victory
Two of the firemen, Moulton Davis
and Harris Rogers, were overcome
by smoke: Both were revived, but

effects of their experience.
The Ellsworth Falls firemen an
swered Ellsworth's call for help but
fortunately were not needed. They
fought through heavy snow to get
here, and their spirit in coming was
appreciated
The Brown building was badly
damaged, the back part suffering
most. as the fire started in that sec

part of the roof fell in, and the
rooms below were completely
burned. DR.. Browns loss on the

OBITUARY..


Mrs. James Bayard, prominent
woman in this town, died at her
home Friday afternoon, following a
shock which she suffered about two
weeks ago.
Mrs. Bayard was a member of the
Baptist church, devoted to the Sun
day school and G. E. society. She
was president of the society for
over twenty years, and made it her
most cherished sphere of activity
outside of her home. In these cir
cles she will be greatly missed. At
the time of her death she was presi-
dent of the Cemetery association
and treasurer of the missionary So
ciety.
Mrs Bayard was a woman of rare
ability, of brilliant mentality, a
most devoted wife, mother and
grandmother, ardent in her friend
ships. and in many ways very re-
markable woman. She entered into
life's varied activities as a duty and
a privilege Those who knew her
will never forget her, and never
wholly draw away from the influence
of her life 1t is for her kindly IN
fuence, her willingness in all good
activities that she will be best re-
membered.
Mrs. Bayard was born in Blue
hill about sixty-eight years ago, a
daughter of Freeman K. and Lucy
Ann (Lufkin) Mcintyre. She taught
school at Sargentville, and later
was married to James Bayard OF
Bayard Point, and lived there until
her death.
She is survived by her husband,
a son and wife, Mr.. and Mrs.
Archie Bayard of Framingham'
Mass, and three grandchildren.
Much sympathy is extended to them.
The funeral was held Sunday at
the home, Rev. w. S. Stowell Off
ciating. The body was inferred in
Forest Hill cemetery, Sargentv1lle.
To those who knew her real
worth by personal acquaintance
the following seems a fitting tribute
to her.
"He that dwelleth in the secret
place of the most high, shall abide
in the shadow of the Almighty
A pleasant affair took place on
Thursday, Feb II, at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred J. Sargent, 1t
being the birthday anniversary OF
Mrs. Clara Clapp. A sumptuous
dinner was served, and two pretty
birthday cakes RECALLED the guests
The guests included Miss Bertha
Howard, Mr.. and Mrs. Chandler
Bowden and Miss Rebecct Bowden
! The snowstorm outside did not de-
tract from the mirth and mer-
riment within.
