inc. obAOiUb ualili. iue annual nauowe tu
ball given by Seaside Grange in their hall
Wednesday evening, Oct. 27th, was a success in
every way. The decorations in both the dining

priate to Hallowe’en and were carried out in
the Hallowe’en colors, orange and black. The
fire place on the stage was banked and sur
rounded with evergreen, and black cats, pump
kins, witches, etc., we- e everywhere in evi
dence. An immense black witch at the fire
place, the handiwork of A. D. Hayes, chair
man of the committee on decorations, was a
conspicuous and awe-inspiring figure. The
table decorations, even to the napkin?, were of
Hallowe’en design. Mrs Elmira McKeen

The Days When There Were No Matches.
T.'u* .1 urnal had a call last week from Mr.
1 . er 1. Welch, one of our oldest citizens, and
who has a far-reaching memory. His early
home was in a house that stood just back of
the present post office building. He recol
lects when there were no matches and live
coals were borrowed from neighbors to start
the morning fire. The one upon whom this
duty devolved would go to the door and note
where smoke was ascending from a chimney
and go there for coals. When fiVe or six
years old Mr. Welch recalls visiting a local
carpenter and joiner, who also made coffins,
as there were no ready-made coffins in those
days and this work devolved upon the village
joiners, and found him making some matches
for the use of himself and neighbors. While
there the the shop took fire and Mr. Welch
says he was badly frightened, but the fire was
extinguished with little or no damage. For
several years Mr. Welch worked with Amos R.
Boynton, a successful carpenter and builder
of his day, in slating, and helped to slate
many buildings, laying the slates over the
shingles. In 1853 Mr. Welch entered the em
ploy of Treadwell & Mansfield, carriage manu
facturers, and was engaged in that work up to
his retirement a few years ago.
Mrs. Asa Condon went to Bangor last Satur- '
day for surgical treatment.

E Fiost and Orrin J. Dicky were appointed a
committee to make arrangements for a Food
Fair. The matter of a municipal Christmas
tree was discussed and it was voted to cooper
ate with the Associated Charities in repeating

diate ports. President Coombs appointed
Messrs. W. H. Hal!, James H. Howes, Harry
W. Clark and A. F. Goodhue a committee to

The Water Company Cases. Chief Jus
tice Albert R. Savage of Auburn and Assoc
iate Justices Leslie C. Cornish of Augusta
and Arno W. King of Ellsworth were in Bel
! fast all day Tuesday and Wednesday for a hear
ing of the two cases of The Belfast Water Co.
vs the City of Belfast, which were opened be
fore Judge Cornish at the September term of
the S. J. Court and withdrawn from the jury
on account of the many intricate points of
law and by consent of all concerned referred
to the three judges. The cases were both for
hydrant rental and interest since 1908; the
former for $ 1,060 39 and the latter for $665,
the total, with interest, about $7,000. Robert
F. Dunton, for the city, claimed that the con
tract specified free hydrant rental after 20
years, and among other contentions claimed
that due to poor water pressure and supply the
city lost the North schoolhouse. Messrs. El
bert and William Wheeler of Boston and John
D. Walker, local superintendent, were called
for the company, and Chief S. S. L. Shute,
Assistants I. T. Clough, George H. Darby and
Messrs. Sanford Howard, LorenzoE. McMahan,
Benj. Jenney, Henry Brown and Thomas Flan
nagan of the fire department for the city. The
judges will adjust the taxes and rental to Dec.
1915 and their decision will be final. R. F.
Dunton and City Solicitor Carleton Doak were
for the city and Harvey D. Eaton of Water
ville and H. C. Buzzell for the Water Co.

morous and entertaining. These are all high
priced productions and the committee feel it
will be the greatest and best entertainment
course ever given here. They will be held in
the Colonial Theatre and the pric& has been
placed at the lowest ever, only $1.00 admission
for the entire course or $1.60 with reserved
seat, so as to enable every one to attend;
though either entertainment alone is worth the
price asked for them all. To pay for these
fine productions, theatre, etc., it is'hecessary
to fill the house each night and it is hoped
that the public will make it a success by
their hearty co-operation. If the ticket
canvassers do not Bee you, call at Pitcher's

Cases Heard by Judge Cornish. Aseoci- j
ate Justice Leslie C. Cornish of Augusta was j

Town of Freedom vs. Orrin Jackson of Sears
mont, Arthur Jackson of Montville, Willis
Jackson of Berwick and Addison Jackson of
Freedom, which was entered at the September
term of the Supreme Judicial Court and re
ferred by agreement to Judge Cornish, who
presided at that term. The action was brought I
to compel the defendants to reimburse the
town for the support of their father, Joseph
Jackson, a man over eighty years, and also to
compel them to contribute for his support.
The father had been living with his youngest
son Addison and the town paying $6 per week
board. The defence was that the father bad
done nothing for them since they were very
small boys and that two of them had bought
their time of him before they were 21 years of
age. Judge Cornish took the case under con
sideration. Robert F. Dunton appeared for
the town of Freedom; H. C, Buzzell for Orrin,
Arthur and Willis Jackson, and F. W. Brown
for Addison Jackson.

Mass., appellant from the decree of the Judge
of Probate allowing the will of the late Har

making a will allowing Mr. and Mrs. Archie
Eager all her property for care of her the re
mainder of her life. Mrs. Willey is a cousin
of the late Mrs. Frost. Arthur Ritchie, for

presented in a lump sum. John R. Dunton
appeared for Mrs. Davis and H. C. Buzzell for
Mr. Bessey. Judge Cornish took the case un

Rheuma for Rheumatism
No matter how many remedies you have
tried and failed to get relief, one trial of Rheu
ma will convince you that sciatica and all forms
of rheumatism can be permanently cured. A.
A. Howes & Co. and all druggists sell it for 50
cents.
“I waB so crippled with sciatic rheumatism I
could not walk. Three bottles of Rheuma per
manently cured me.” Guy Torley, St. Paul,
Minn.
Rheuma gets right into the blood, dissolves
the uric acid crystals and passes them through
the kidneys and bowels. This is the best way
to cure rheumatism. The manufacturers guar
antee it. |
