At a bualnesa meeting of the member
of the Congregational church of thli
city, held Monday evening, the resigna
tion of Mr. C. B. I'hilbrook, pastor, was
tendered and accepted. The pastor's
iheaith has fast .been failing, and the be
lief that a change, temporary, at least,
might prove benetlcial, was the cause ot
this action. Mr. Philbrook has been In
our midst about six years, and we be
lieve there I not a person in the county
with whom he has come in oontact, who
will not regret to learn that hi minis
terial career ia to be cut off in our midst
The Influence for good of Mr. I'hilbrook
nd his estimable wife, both In and out
ol the church, has been very great, and
their loan, should they decide to go and
remain away, will be keenly (alt. About
ithe first of June Mr. 1'hllbrook expects
to take nn the reo-ular line ot work at
Condon, in Gilliam county, to which
place the beat wishe of a host of people
go with him.
There I every indication now that a
igood, wide sidewalk from St. Helens
well out toward Houlton ia soon to be a
realization. At the regular meeting of
the city council held Monday evening
an ordinance to the effeot that such a
walk should be built, at the expense
of the property owners, wa pasted, and
will be effective in a few day. Thi
contemplated improvement is one that
has been of public demand for a long
time and Its realisation will be a source
of gratification and pardonable pride to
a multitude ot people. The ordinance
demands that tor a portion of the dis
tance the walk Is to be eight feet wide,
and the rest ot the way six feet wide.
This walk is to extend to the toot of the
liill, near Plank's residence, and from the
material now in the walk there can be
constructed a good walk the remainder
of the way to Houlton. The ordinance
. provide also that this improvement
hall be made within sixty day.
