ind a large number of friends called to pay
heir respects and extend congratulations and 1
?ood wishes. Mr. Eames of Jackson, and ^
Wise Augustus French of Sandypoint, were I
narried at Sandypoint, Feb. 16, 1854, by Rev. » e
loseph Freeman. Having no children of their | *
>wn, they sacredly, if not iegally, adopted j ‘
:hree—a niece and two nephews of Mrs '
Eames. To these children they gave every
:omfort, and all that own parents could give. j.
due of these, was the late Mrs. A. E. Nicker
ion of Swanville, whose tragic death occurred 4
soon after the death of her husband. The
others are Bert Morison of Newark, N. J., and '
Erank Eames of Stoughton, Mass. In his ^
leaching days Mr. Eames was a prominent
igure in musical circles, and many in Sears
jort and surrounding towns remember his ®
tinging schools. He taught in Brooks, Jack- ^
ion, Searsport, Monroe and other towns, ^
Many prominent musicians had their first les
sons from him. One pupil was the late Mrs.
Frank Nickerson, wife of Gen. Nickerson, who *
died a few weeks ago. Mr. Eames has been ill j
for many months, and though a shut-in has
never been forgotten as the many callers tes
tify. Feb. 16. 1912, the friends of Mr. and ‘
Mrs. Eames gave them a delightful reception, ^
when more than 50 guests called to pay their
i \
respects. I ^

sickness, 30 of the men sick at one time. On t
very cold days the wheels on the cars have i
frozen to the rails and it has been almost im
possible to move them. At present it is neces
sary to run the passenger and freight trains to
gether, but this will be discontinued as soon as
possible and the old running time resumed.

number of maskers may exceed that of the \

Scotch Lassie—Annie Laurie—was worn by
Mrs. L. A. Gardner, Middle street, and the
most complete disguise among the gentlemen
was that of the delicate maiden, with broad
flower-bedecked hat and long white gloves,
brought out by Mr. C. A. Snow, principal of
the Stockton Springs High school. The cos
tumes were largely of the comical type, de
signed to conceal the identity of the wearer.
About fifty people partook of the clam stew, •
provided at The Stockton near midnight. Tl e
music by the seven-piece orchestra from the
Stockton Springs Band, Mr. J. H. Gerrish,
leader, was excellent and highly appreciated
by both dancers and spectators. The hall was
tastefully decorated with red crepe paper
winding the posts and festooned to the corners
of the ceiling, with a multiplicity of red hearts,
in various sizes, grouped on the walls, with
evergreen boughs at the foot of the curtain,
the whol« effect being very pleasing. The
company was large and joyous spirit animated
all present.

BELFAST NEWS
i
1 his Case Has a Hint toi Many Republican
Readers.
A Belfast woman has used Doan's Kidney
Pills.
She haB found them as represented.
She wishes her neighbors to know.
She publicly recommends them.
No need to look further for a tested kidney
remedy.
The proof of merit is here and can be in
irestigited.
Piofit by Mrs. Durham’s statement.
Mrs. Annie L. Durham, 15 Park street, Bel
fast, says: “I suffered for many years from
kidney trouble and could never get anything to
relieve me until I used Doan’s Kidney Pills,
which I procured at the City Drug Store. My
feet became swollen ano burned. I bathed
tnem in warm water, which gave me only
temporary relief. I had dizzy spells at times
when^everthing blurred before my eyes, af
fecting my sighi and I had to wear glasses
Dean’s Kidney Pills gave me relief from the
first and six boxes cured me.”
Price 60c at ail dealers. Don’t simply ask
for a kidney ren edy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills
