Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1870-06-10
Paris HUI.

A writer in the Portland Press OF last
week, whom we suspect to be our genial
friend, Dir. Colby, thus speaks OF our
pleasant village:
The season is fast approaching when
Paris Hill Is the centre OF attraction for
hundreds of persons in search of comfort
and pleasure not to be found in large
cities during the hot months OF summer.
Those who are accustomed to receive
summer boardcrs are putting their homes
in order. while they are constantly in re-
ccip, Of letters ofinquiry in relation to ac-
commodaiions for individuals aud fami
lies. Mr.. III. Hubbard. Il popular land
lord, whose house is the home of many Of
our best families during the summer,
will find his extensive accommodations
inadequate TO tho demand the coming
season, judging from present indications.
THE COUNTY BUILDINGS
in Oxford County are nothing 10 brag Of.
Any movement 10 erect such buildings
rs are required would be opposed by Sec
tons of the County in favor of changing
the seat OF government or seeding and
organizing new County or becomin an.
nexed 10 some other. Among The occu-
pants Of the Jail is young lawyer whose
crime is failure to pay SO tax. am
not informed whether the commital was
the result of m unwaranted persecution
on tho part of the official or foolish per-
sistency on the part of the victim. The
County officers appear to be attending rs
faithfully to the business OF the County rs
though their quarters were rs magnii-
cent rs those of Cumberland or Sagada-
hoe.
THE OXFORD DEMOCRAT
is constantly increasing in popularity and
circulation. Mr.. Shaw, its editor and
publisher, is n live man and gets out a
live paper, eminontly deserving the cx-
tensive patronage it is receiving. There
are but lew more ably conducted or re-
liable papers in the State.
THE NEXT GOVERNOR.
The Republicans of Oxford County are
very confident that the nominee of the
Republican Convention for Governor will
be IN Oxford County man and resident
in this town. lst. because his position in
the convention last year gives him some
claim upon the party this year. I'd. be-
cause he is believed To be the choice Of
majority Of the Republicans of the State,
if they could be left TO express their pre-
ference unbiased by those who have
political aspirations which may better be
subscrvcd by putting forward another
man. No man who has enjoyed the ac-
quaintance OF Hon. Sydney Perham, can
have any doubt in relation TO his unswerv.
ing integrity, sound judgment and high
moral character. He always has boen
true to every important principle that has
been incorporated into the platform of the
Republican party, State or National. Mr..
Perham gives himself but little anxiety
about the result of tho convention. He
has been brought before the people as n
candidate without any agency of his own
and will gracefully submit to the express
ed will OF the party, and if any other man
shout d be nominated he will receive his
earnest support
MANUFACTURING.
At South Saris the Paris FIGURING Mill
is doing its usual amount of business
Mr.. +. C.. Merrill, manufacturer of plows
and cultivators, has exhibited = good
show Of W hat Yankees call pluck. He
commenced bus mess with poor health
and soon after getting under way his
foundry was destroyed by fire; soon after
new one was erected the frcshet dam
aged him To the amount Of several hum
dred dollars. He is now in good work
ing condition again, and viii get out
about 500 plows and 500 cultivators the
present season. The Hersey pillow has
always been a favorite among the far.
