A number of friends accompan .· . "he cast, and most of them remained ? τ the dance which followed the play. ward Shaw and the Misses Dean con stituted the orchestra. Half a dozen urng cars were required for transpor tation. There seemed to be no satisfactory way of accounting for the pall of smoke which hung over us several days last week. and indeed over quite a part of V-w England, unless it was as has been r**[ irted, that it came from large forest fire- in Canada. There was to be sure •j ;t" a fire in a cutting on Mt Abram, in ti.t» northern part of Greenwood, and an -r fire in Conway, Ν. H., but it hard . seems a-ι if these could bave made all the smoke we had. Doubtless atmos pheric conditions may have have had something to do with the way it hung, and the dust kicked up by automobiles added to it.

The territory which it is planned to oil includes Market Square, and leading from there Main Street to the bridge, High Street to the corner of Gothic, and Pleasant Street to Hicks Crossing. The Standard Oil Co. will do the job for 1300. As is well known, sprinkling with water on these streets lays the dust for only a short time, while oil where it has been used keeps the dust down for a consider able period. Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Dunham were thrown from a carriage at West Paris Wednesday evening, and Mrs. Dunham was disabled by her injuries. They bad been to call at Dr. Ο.

The banquet which followed was excellent, the tables loaded with good things and decorated with apple and cherry blossoms and vio lets presented a very attractive appear ance. This was the first time Mt. Mica Lodge has visited Oxford Lodge and done the work, and the event will long be remembered as both the trip over and the entertainment while there were very pleasant.

Memorial Day at South Paris. "God's taarching orders" formed the topic of the Memorial Sunday sermon by Rev. A. T. McWhorter at the Congrega tional church Sunday afternoon. These orders bave a martial ting. The Chris tian life is a conflict. They demand implicit obedience. Not Grant nor Sheridan, but implicit obedience of the rank and file, won the battles of the civil war. They demand an uncompro mising attitude toward sin. The Israel ites failed when they compromised with idolatry. And God's marching orders anticipate certain victory. The forces of Christianity are sweeping this land and other lands. The text was from Joshua, "Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which 1 do give to them." The singing was by a quartette com nosed of Mrs. H. E. Wilson, Miss Helen M. Barnes, Alden Chase of Bryant's Pond, and George A. Briggs, with Mrs. Brigge at the organ. -Rev. C. I. Spear assisted in the opening services. William Κ Kimball Post and Circle of the Ladies of the G. A. R. attended in a body. There were twenty-three veter ans in line. A good congregation attend ed. Saturday, May 30tb, will be observed by Wm. K. Kimball Post with the usual Memorial Day services. The line of march will be formed in front of Grand Army Hall at 10 o'clock A. M. Chil dren of the public schools, and all oth ers who wish to take part, will form in the rear of the post and march to River side Cemetery, where will be held the usual ceremoniea of decorating the graves, etc. Afternoon service· at New Hall at 2 o'clock, with the usual program.

Perley Martin, while using dynamite to remove a large rock Dear bis borne on Pigeon Hill, waa instantly killed Wed nesday, May 20. Mr. Martin waa alone in the Held at the time, but it is believed he was using a crowbar with which to tamp the stick of dynamite under the edge of the rock, and that the bar must have come in contact with the cap and caused the explosion. Mr. Tyner and son, who were some distance away, heard the explosion, and looked up in time to see Mr. Martin's body some forty feet in the air. Mr. Martin waa about 43 years old, respected by all who knew him. He was a member of the Welchville Methodist church, also a Knight of Pythias. He was the son of William and Albina Martin, who survive him, also two brothers, Dennis and Orin Martin, and one sister, Mrs. A. D. Thayer. Mrs. Abigail B. Dunham. Passed over peacefully and gently unto a higher life on the morning of May 22d, Abagail B. Dunham, at her home in Bryant's Pond village. Her span of life had reached beyond the four score and ten years. She was the oldest reaident of the little village of Bryant's Pond, and one who witnessed the beginning of the little settlement and closely identified with it from the opening cf the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Railroad, which came through the town in the early fifties. She and her husband, the late Rufus K. Dunham, were pioneers there. Mr. Dun ham was its first station agent, coming there in 1851, and serving in that capac ity until the early part of 1896, forty five years of continuons service aa a trusted servant of the company. Mrs. Dunham was born Jan. 5, 1824, being the fonrth child of Stephen and Nancy (Packard) Estes, who for many years were residents of Bethel, Maine. She was the last survivor of a family of ten children, the youngest, a brother, having died only recently in Townsend, Mass. In her religoua aentiments, Mra. Dunham waa a Methodist in faith, and waa a member of the tint organization of that society in Bryant's Pond village. Four children survive her, Mrs. May Louise Bolster, who has lived in the family and cared for the mother through her declining years, Charles R. Dunham of South Paris, Mrs. Eva Bryant, who resides in Bryant's Pond, and Mrs. Emma F. Small of Dixfield. The funeral was held at the residence Sunday afternoon, attended by the Rev. Ε. H.

NORWAY. It fa now Postmaster DeCoster, Mr, I Akers having moved ont and the new postmaster, Prank E. DeCoater, moved in during the past week. In leaving the office Mr. Aker· has the satisfaction ol » knowing that his administration of the business affairs of the offioe ha· been much appreciated by the public. The pleasant and oourteous treatment wbich 1 all have received make many regret that , » change should be necessary, but we have no doubt that Mr. DeCoster will do all in his power to keep the office up to the same high standard that it bas been in during Mr. Akers'term. Harley Rawson of Buckfield is now coaohing the high school base ball team. Mr. Rawaon is one of the best in th business, and it will be no fanlt of th e coaching If the team is not "ceoeesful in its remaining games. There has been a tendency of eome of the members of the team not to work as hard aa they «bould, and this has been a drawback to all. However, it is hoped that all will g work now with a will, and if they do, the good things which were predicted for the team may yet come true. The Veranda Club enjoyed a aoclal afternoon at its last meeting, which was held with Mrs. Addie L°™joy.

M. w. Sampson has charge of the wprx. Capt. and Mrs. E. G. Swart* have ar rived in town and are at Beal s Tavern for a time. Later they will occupy the McLean cottage at the lake, which they have had in years past. There seems to be some hope that there will be an effort made to '®prove some of the sidewalks In the *)llaKe the coming summer. There is talk of put ting In a new walk on Main S*reet from Danforth to Lynn. Certainly there is not a place In town where one Is needed more. In its present condition, the old walk is really dangerous for aged people who must travel over It after dark. At the annual meeting of the W. C. i. U. held with Mrs. C. N. Tubbs recently, reports were made by the heads of the different departments and the following officers elected: ÏCpSd.»£MrÏÏU.M<*0.., Ur. E. J Sec*—Mies Clara Smith Treae.—Mrs. E. F.

It was ten feet In diameter and shot into tbe air higher than tbe trees in that vicinity. It was the first time tbat an event of the kind has ever been wit nessed at tbe lake. It would seem ae if there cnght to be some one in town with authority to put a atop to tbe reckless driving of au toe by persons considerably under tbe In fluence of liquor. Something Is wrong somewhere when such things are per mitted, even though the leading offender is one of our business men. There were not as many out-of-town guest· present at tbe special meeting of Oxford Council, R. and S. M., Friday evening as was expected, but all present were favorably impressed with the new ritual work and consider It a great im provement.

If the majority of people realized that 97 per cent of the business men meet reverses at the age of forty and are obliged to again rebuild their fortunes from the very foun· dation, the habit of thrift would gradually become mort general. It would soon be regarded by the majority as a requisite of vital importance for a man early in life to ea tablish a sinking fund and systematically lay aside for this purpose. Why not provide against this by opening an account with this bank ? You can then deposit all money received and pay each bill by check. In this manner you will have a record of all receipts and expenditures and can establish a sinking fund to provide against reverses and old age. We invite you Ij deposit your money, whether it be cash or checks, in this strong National Bank and start systematic saving. There is no expense to you iu opening an account.
