The Portland Press has instituted new feature
in lis news col imns, that of culling the news from
every county in the State, and arranging a column
more or less, according material. This is certain
ly good plan, and has added much to the already
well earned reputation Of the Press tor reliable in

has come to be widely known and recogn zed, an I
hiscourtesy aud candor acknowledged even by
his warmest political opponents. For Il short-lived
popularity he es net pander to prurient and vi
