The 2Oth Of May is at hand

The Citizens of Maine will not forget
that the goth insssnt, is the day appointed
BY the Legislature for meetings to be held
il the several towns, districts, and plsnta-
tons in Maine, for the purpose of ascer.
,aiaiag the sense Of the people on the ques-
tioA Of Separation. The vote is to be taken
BY yeas and Gays. Let every man opposed
TO Separation attend and put in his nay
The office seekers and advocates for sep
sralion will. contend that all those who do
not 80 to meeting and vote against Separa-
ton are in favour o. it.
Portland gazette and Maine advertiser. (Portland, Me.) 1805-1818, 1816-05-14

Ia Portland there will probably be ma
jorlty IN favour Of separation, under an i'm
preston, that the seat Of government, will
oe liked here. Many have the honesty to
'ayow that this is the only reason they have
IN voting tor it. If the Separation should
take place, we hope this will be the case
ifthis fact was established, we should enter
tain very different view ot,he question ss
snected this town, merely, when compar-
ca with the interests Of the people at large

The following is an extract from an adj
dress issued by Garrit Minor, as Presi
dent OF the Rapahannoc company, in the
name Of the commissioners for sand com
pany, June 81.
ihe exports from the towns of Frede-
ricAsOurg and Falmouth oi the products
OF agriculture are of very considerable
magnitude. From an official report of the
Surveyor OF the port, it appears that In
the year ending the first of February 1918
when the blockade of the Chesapeake bay,
by the British fleet commenced, the ex
ports amounted to tie sum of S 1866, 500 ;
and consisted OF S00l hogsheads OF 'fobac-
CO, 500 hogsheads of Lampblack, 6S,77S
barrels OF Flour, S51, $50 bushels of wheat,
22o,O46 bushels of corn, 10000 bushels of
6ran, and 5000 tierces of Flaxseed. a
very considerable portion of these were
the products OF the farms lying on the river.
lne value OF these exports will be more
strlkinSly obvious, when eompafed vita
the general exports OF these products from
the whole United States. In 1911, as ap-
pears from the report of the Secretary OF
the treasury, the produces of agriculture
exported from the United States, amount
Ell to S5,556,O00, and in 1912, to 8 81,
255, 600.
thus the exports from this river in 1911.
were nearly l-22d, and Ia 1912, 1 Goth of
the whole exports OF agriculture OF the u
nited States.
