Ihe previously announced booklet, “Ore
Hundred Years of Congregationalism in Sears
port,” is now on sale at the following stores:
Searsport Drug Co , Clement & Adams, F. B.
Smith’6, Miss Eudavilla Cleaves’s and Miss L.
W. Edwards’s. Copies may also be purchased
from Mr. James H. Duncan, Church Clerk. The
price is fifty cents. Out of town friends may
obtain their copies from Mr. Duncan, sending
five cents additional to cover cost of mailing.
Aside from its v.tal church connection the
book is of interest for the Deal history that its
pages contain. The centennial historian, Rev.
Albert H. Thompson of Raymond, N. H., was
a Searsport boy and through his wonderful
memory and wide acquaintance has given to
us a picture of the old town in its prosperous,
ship building days and recalled the faces of
men, who sailing to all parts of the world
were proud to hail from Searsport. !t is
gratifying to the many friends of Mr. Thomp
son that he was able to enjoy and take part
in the Centennial Celebration and his addregs
has become a valued record. One week previ
ous to the publication of the little book for !
which he had collected a wealth of materia], !
he passed to join those of whom he spoka.
“Sally Lunn.” The bright little comedy
in two acts, Sally Lunn, given last Thursday
night in Union hall under the direction of
Mrs. Sumner C Pattee and Miss Harriet
Roulestone, was a decided success. About $25
was made for the piano fund of the Congrega
tional society. Mrs. Pattee coached the cast
and Miss Roulestone took the leading role, and
to them much credit is due, The cast was very
evenly balanced; in fact, it was an all-star ag
gregation and it would be impossible to pick
out the real star. One of the greatest hits
was made by Miss Roulestone and Storey
Trundy in the second act,when they introduced
Hello ’rrisco, from the Follies of 1915, Ina
Claire’s famous song. It brought forth much
applause and was repeated several times. Dur
ing the acts Mr. Irundy sang Back to Tennes
see, and made his usual hit. In the part of
Sally, Miss Roulestone was at her best, which
is saying much, for she has many triumphs in
drama and opera in local circles. She was well
supported by Irving Rich, who played the
juvenile lead, the part of Billy, the stepson of
Sally. In the long dialogue which these two
have in the first act, and which tests the ability
of amateurs, they were exceptionally good and
kept the house absorbed. Miss Rebecca Ross
as Vivian Winslow, Miss Harriet Erskine as
Mrs. Winslow, Mias Annie Whittier as Mar
jorie, were all excellent and looked and acted
the parte. Storey Trundy, who played the
part of John, and Renfrew Wileon ae Morton
Glynn, are old favorites and were up to their
usual standing, adding to their laurels Some
very pretty coetumee were worn and the stage
was particularly well set. The electric fixtures
and lamps were kindly loaned by the Penobscot
Bay Electric Co. There is some talk of taking
the play to Stockton. Mrs. Renfrew Wilson
acted as prompter and property manager.

of Capt. Enoch Perkins, died Feb. 10;h at the
home of her son, Fred M. Kendell, in Oxford,

Obituary. The many friends of Mrs. Faus
tina (Roberto) Noyes of Vinalhaven will learn
with deep regret, of her passing away early
Sunday morning, Feb, 13th. from the grip, fal
lowing a long period of ill health. Mrs. Noyes
waa a native of this town, the youngest
daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. James
Marden, and in girlhood waa noted for her
attractive personality and waa a general favor
ite among her associates, old and young. In
early womanhood she married Mr. C. Sumner
Roberto, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. B. M.
Roberto, who died after a few years, leaving
her with one son, Alton T. Roberto. After
several years of widowhood she became the
wife of Mr. Horace M. Noyes ot Vinalhaven
and went there to live permanently. Two
children were born to them, Mr. Elmer and
Miss Mary Noyes, the Roberts son becoming
in every sense a child of the excellent step
father. Surrounded by every home comfort
and domestic felicity her children grew to ma
turity. Mr. Roberts, having graduated from
Harvard college, married Miss Longyear of
Bcston and settled in Marquette, Mich , which
town he is at present representing in the State
legislature. Miss Mary, a graduate of Wheaton
Seminary at Norton, Mass,, and of the Con
servatory of Music, Boston, has been engaged
in the teaching of music for a year or two in
the vicinity of Boston. Mr. Elmer, employed
for several years upon the New York water
works, was, with bis sister, with their beloved
mother during the last weeks of her life, com
forting the stricken father in his great be
reavement. Mr. Roberts, in his endeavor to
reach the failing mother, arrived at Rockiand
on Sunday morning but, because of the in
clemency of the weather—a raging snow
storm—could induce no boat to risk taking him
to Vinalhaven during the day and to his inex
pressible regret was obliged to wait until Mon
day morning before joining the mourning fam
ily. Only a few weeks ago he was a guest in
the Noyes home, feeling the deepest solicitude
for the invalid mother. The funeral was held
on Tuesday in her Vinalhaves home. Deepest
sympathy is offered 'by a host of Stockton
friends to the surviving husband and children
ot this estimable woman in their irreparable
loss of a devoted wife and mother. Mrs. Noyes
was for years a consistent member of the
Universalist church, with which she and Mr.
Noyes united many years ago. Of hei it can
he trnlv aniH
“None knew her, but to love her;
None named her, but to praise."

G1RLS--D0 YOU KNOW
WHY YOUR HAIR
IS UGLY?
Many women do not realize the necessity of
keeping the hair ami scalp absolutely clean in
order to look their best. And yet, with only a
tew minutes of tonic massage, the hair may he
brought to a beautiful, thick, lustrous luxuri
ance, and that at very little cost
Just try these few simple directions today:
Into the palm of the hand pour a little Parisian
Sage, a rigidly guaranteed, inexpensive and
most beneficial preparation to be had at any
drug store; thoroughly wet the hair near the
scalp with it and then rub vigorously until a
soft tingling sensation comes stealing over the
I head. Do this regularly for a few days and
■ you will surely be surprised and delighted with
the results.
The genuine Parisian Sage is obtainable from
A. A. Howes & Co., who always seil it with an
absolute guarantee of perfect satisfaction to
the user or the money will be returned

tunity to make use of them.
Increasing Property Values ]
