The Glendale, Calif., Evening News of
a recent date has the following interest
ing article concerning Freeman McGil
very Kelley, a former Stockton Springs
boy and also well known in Belfast:
“Many Glendale friends' attended the
formal opening of the Glendale Florist
Shop, 120 South Brand boulevard, on
Saturday. Mr and Mrs. Kelly received
many compliments and congratulations
on the artistic arrangement of their dis
play, in which the rich autumnal colors
predominated. A climbing vine over
the lattice separating the display room
from the workroom reminded one of the
vines ‘back East” when Jack Frost ar
rays them in brilliant hues. The win
dows were resplendent with masses of
great shaggy chrysanthemums, one of
royal purple, the other golden yellow. A
number of fantail gold fish in an aquari
um in the purple window were the touch
that made a |Veasing note of contrast and
happy canaries in golden cages above the
flowers in each window sang solos, duets
and choruses to entertain the guests.
Beautiful varieties of cyclamen, pom
pom chrysanthemums iu a variety of
deep colorings, red cosmos and an unusual
foliage plant, besides the usual roses,
carnations and ferns were among the
plants that attracted the attention of the
guests. Mr. and Mrs. Kelly are well
known in Glendale, their nursery and
florist shop having been established here
for some time. They had a display room
next door to their present one, but mov
ed to th s location in the Glendale
Theatre building because of its greater
attractiveness and suitability for their
hue of w'ork. They promise that they
will give Glendale a flower shop second
to none in Los Angeles.”

1 What purports to be a systematic or
ganization of cat stealing is going on not
only in Belfast but in other sections of
Maine. Several valuable cats have dis
appeared and their owners have placed
the matter for investigation. Some of
the animals are said to have been shipped
' to New York and other large centers.
Principal Harry A. Foster of the B. H.
S., has been appointed Waldo County
chairman of the Near East Relief drive
and spoke last Sunday morning at the
Baptist Church on Armenia. His ad
dress was most impressive and interest
ing, as the speaker is not only well in
formed on the conditions in that country
but also public spirited. Joseph Par
quette conducted the exercises.
THE CHURCHES
North Congregational Church.
Rev. A. C Elliott, pastor; parsonage, 26
High street; telephone, 157-4. Organist,
Miss Amy Stoddard; soloist, Mrs Leroy
Paul. Morning worship at 10.45. Church
school at noon. Men's Forum at 12.15.
Stereopticon lecture at 7.30. Mid week,
devotional service Thursday at 7.30 p. m,
I “The time draws near the birth of
; Christ,”.and the Christmas spirit is al
ready in the air. Our homes, our stores
and places of business already show
signs of preparation for a fitting celebra
tion of the auspicious day. Friends are
thinking of each other and secretly pur
chasing gifts to present as tangible evi
deuce of their thought, and little chil
dren are looking forward with impatient
expectancy to the day which, to them,
is “the gladdest day oi all the year.”
Let us see to it that amid all the innocent
mirth »f this “festive season,” we do
not forget to pay our homage to the
“new-bom Ring.” Not only the “wise
men of the East,” but the greatest, the
wisest, the best men of all ages have
J counted Him worthy of worship and hon
or. Let us then, as citizens of this great
Christian country, and remembering that j
all that is highest and best in our nation
al life we owe to “the Babe of Bethelem,”
plan to be present in the churches of our
city on Christmas Sunday and thus seek
to show that at heart we are still faith
ful to the Christ-Child. The subject of
the pastor’s sermon will be, “The Angel’s
Message.” There will also be a special
Christmas talk to the children, entitled
“Jack’s Christmas Dream.” Parents
are urgently requested to send their
children, or better still, to bring them to
me service.
A wouuerful series of beautiful pictures,
showing many charming scenes in Cey
lon, magnificent temples, religious festi
vals, schools, the manners and customs
of the people, was presented in the lec
ture last Sunday evening to a large and
appreciative audience. These lectures
are free to the public and are greatly en
joyed by those who attend. To hear
such lectures is indeed a privilege which
ought to be eagerly seized by our young
people. It is to be hoped many of them
will plan to be present during the winter.
The subject of the stereopticon lecture
next Sunday evening will be “Some
Glimpses of the Frontier.”
A very profitable time was spent last
Sunday morning at the Men’s Forum in
! discussing “The City Man’s Obligations
to the Farmer.” The subject was intro
duced by Mr. alph Hayford who treated
, it in a very exhaustive fashion. Many
of the men present were practical far
mers and their contributions to the dis
cussion were of great interest 2nd value.
It is felt that much good must come
from the frank exchange of thought on
these occasions. Dr. W. L. West pre
[ sided in his usual efficient manner and
dropped pearls of wisdom which enriched
the minds of those present. The speaker
for next Sunday is Mr. A. B. Stautial,
who will take as his topic, “Problems of
the Farmer.” A large attendance of
men is requested.
; On Wednesday, Dec. 22 at 3 p, m.. un

Railroad Lease
A committee consisting of President
Selwyn Thompson, representing the Bel
fast & Moosehead Lake Railroad Com
pany; Alderman R. L. Cooper, Council
man Ralph Ii. Howes, and myself, repre
senting the city, were in conference in
Portland on Saturday, December 11th,
with Mr. Maurice McDonald, President
of the Maine Central Railroad Company,
regarding the Belfast & Moosehead Lake
Railroad Company lease situation.
Mr. McDonald outlined to the com
mittee very frankly and fully the operat
ing, earning and financial conditions
which confront the Maine Central at this
time. He advised that the Maine Cen
tral was in no situation at the moment
to consider a permanent adjustment of
the relations by either lease or purchase,
but that it was the desire of the Maine
Central, when conditions were ironed
out, to purchase the road f. r cash or its
equivalent.
He suggested a temporary extension of
the lease at the same price of $36,000 per
year, either party having the option to
discontinue the arrangement on six
months’ notice. This suggestion appeal
ed to the Committee as probably the
most practical course to be followed at
this time, and undoubtedly the City Gov
ernment will recommend to the Direc
tors of the Belfast & Moosehead Lake
Railroad Company that such an exten
sion of the present lease be made.
The matter of obtaining appioximately
the correct estimate of the earnings of
our branch was also considered, and defi
nite steps are to be taken to obtain that
information.
On behalf of the Belfast City Council,
C. W. Wescott, Mayor.

Beverly S. Staples died suddenly of
heart failure in Lynn, Mass., on Dec. 6tb,
the day following his 74th birthday, and
one week after a visit to relatives in
Brooks and Monroe and to friends at
Citypoint, his former home. Mr. Staples
was born in Belmont, Dec. 6th, 1846, the

Monroe, where Mr. Staples resided until
about 1895, when with his family he
moved to Citypoint, Belfast, living there
until last September. In 1868 Mr. Staples
married Olive A. Rich of Monroe, who
survives him, with one son, Arthur B.

ers, Asbury A. Staples of Winterport and
Charles B. Staples of Butte, Montana,
and by two sisters, Mrs. Rufus A. Colson
and Mrs. Nathaniel Twombly of Monroe.
Mr. Staples was a good citizen, a kind
neighbor and a loving husband and fath
er. Of an unusually active an energetic
disposition he was always busy and dur
ing the last ten years of his residence at
Citypoint took great satisfaction in im
proving and beautifying the home which
he built there, making it and its sur
roundings a delight to the eye and an
ornament to the town. Last September
Mr. and Mrs. Staples moved to Saugus,
Mass., to make their home with their
daughter, and on the day of his death Mr.
Staples had spent the afternoon with his
son in Lynn. While walking to the car
