AN INTERESTING Trip. Mr. and Mrs.
Frank R. Woodcock and Herbert T. Field
returned last Friday from a trip of 100
miles into Northern Maine. They took
their camp, canoe and provisions and
were perfectly independent of wind and
weather. They went to North East Carry
where they entered the west branch of
the Penobscot River. They canoed this
river to Lake Chesuncook; then up Um
bazooksus stream Jo Lake Umbazooksus.
From this lake they were hauled over the
two mile Mud Pond carry to Mud Pond.
From here they went across Lake Cham
berlain, then up the Allegash stream
about ten miles to Lake Allegash, then to
the head of this lake and over the carry
to Round Pond. Then they went down
the Cis stream about four miles to Can
quoingomoc and the stream of the same
name to Chesuncook. The trip was over
what is known as the loop territory and
was delightful from beginning to the end.
They caught only a few fish for their
own use. They began to keep count of
the deer they met but stopped after reach
ing thirty, as they were numerous and
very friendly. One doe came to their
camp three nights in succession. There
is nothing like this trip for rest and recrea
tion.
A Sad Drowning Accident. Ervin
J. Gray, the 14-year-old son of Perley
M. and Aliena Prentiss Gray of this city
lost his life Aug. 22nd while swimming in
Messalonskee stream near Waterville.
Ervin left here Aug. 20th for a long an
ticipated visit with his sister, Mrs. John
A. Proctor of 9 Main street, Waterville.
He had earned a new suit of clothes, etc.,
for the trip and had also carefully saved
his money for the expense of the trip.
His mother, knowing his fondness for
the water, had repeatedly cautioned him
about the difference in the fresh water at
Waterville and the salt water here and
she felt sure he would be careful. He
telephoned to his mother Monday after
arriving in Waterville. Wednesday in
company with a little friend, Oakes Nich
ols, he went to the stream. Both boys
had swam across and were on their re
turn when the Gray boy was evidently
taken with cramps and realizing his dan
ger tried to keep afloat until help arrived.
His little friend found that he could
be of no help to him and went for aid.
Workmen near at hand and the police
patrol did all they could to save him, but
were too late. His mother went to Wa
terville Thursday for the remains, which
were taken from the stream shortly after
the accident. She returned Friday morn
ing accompanied by her daughter. The
funeral was held at Ervin’s late home in
this city Friday at 2 p. m Rev. J. Wil
bor Richardson of the Baptist church of
ficiating. The interment was in Grove
Cemetery. * The little fellow had always
been a great comfort to his mother. He
was always willing and pleased to help
her about the home duties and was
thoughtful and considerate beyond _Jiis
years. His parents, two half-sisters,
Elva Proctor of Waterville and Phyllis
Shipley of Belfast, one brother, Perley M.
Gray, Jr., and two sisters, Nellie and
Viola Gray, survive.
The School Committee Meeting.
A special school commiteee meeting was
held in the superintendent’s office last
Friday evening to act on matters of im
portance. On account of Mr. R. O.
Hutchinson, the newly elected principal
of the High school being in the draft at
his home at Sparksville, Ind.; it was vot
ed to postpone the beginning of the fall
term of this school until Sept. 10th Mr.
Hutchinson is 320 in the draft of his
county and the quota is 196. He has
passed the first examination, but had not
been called for the second. The commit
tee voted to wait the result of this. In
the event of Mr. Hutchinson being called,
his brother, George A. Hutchinson who
is older, will substitute for him in the
Belfast High school. The latter has had
much experience in teaching in second
ary schools and colleges and as superin
tendent. He has the A. M. and A. B.
degrees from the University of Indiana,
and the Ph D. degree from Clark Uni
versity. He had planned to take research
work at Clark the coming year, but would
defer that work to assist his brother, if
called.The committee voted to employ
H. Fair Holmes to transport the City
point pupils.A communication was re
ceived from the residents at the Hay
ford district, where th^re are only 11
pupils, to have the school run this win
ter, but the committee thought it was
not expedient to try it, as it would prob
ably not be possible to have an average
attendance of eight, required by law,
with so many very young pupils in the
district.The insurance on the Hayford
and Citypoint school buildings was placed
with the Dickey-Knowlton Co.Miss
Frances A. Sargent who has been em
ployed the past year in North Conway,
N. H., was elected teacher of the First
Grade in the McLellan school. Miss
Grace E. Walton, who recently under
went a very serious operation at the
Waldo County Hospital, was given a
leave of absence until the winter term,
and Mrs. Mildred C. Neal was made sub
stitute principal at the McLellan school
in Miss Walton’s absence.Mrs. Grace
Roberts Emmons, teacher of the Seventh
Grade, resigned to complete her course at
the Castine Normal School, and Miss
Phebe Cross, teacher of the Fourth Grade
of the Peirce school, also resigned to take
a Grammar Grade at Buckfield. Misses
Charlotte M. Staples and E. Frances Ab
bott, substitute teachers, will be given
permanent positions. The matter of
making the necessary transfers on ac
count of these resignations was left with
Supt. Woodbury.
WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS
•The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin.
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol.
