Skaters finished last Saturday night the work on
the Skowhegan factory and were treated to an oys-
ter supper by the contractors. a correspondent Of
the Press says that there is considerable excite
ment over the disappearance Of Mr.. Fairgraves
the gentleman who is to run the factory. He left
Skowhegan nearly five weeks ago for New York
to buy the machinery for the factory and he has
not been heard from since by either the contrac-
tors or his family. He was very fine man, per-
fectly honorable and trustworthy and greatly az
tached to his home and family. 1t is pretty gen
orally believed there is foul play as he had consd
cradle money with him.

1t is stated that in connection with the recent
installation of Rev. William Carruthers at Calais,
quite an amusing incident occurred. The charge
to the people was delivered by Rev. S. p. Fay, OF
Bangor, who among other excellent things IN
his address, charged the people to be considerate
of their pastor, that there were many little kind
nesses that would comfort and encourage him.
He spoke of his own experience as at one time re-
ceiving a pumpkin from one Of his parishioners,
given with such kind words and intention that he
felt happier for week after. The next morning
Rev. Mr.. Carruthers, the newly installed pastor,
found left at his door two squashes with note in
which was written, "Such have give unto
thee. We did not raise pumpkins this year.
Col. Greene of the Boston Post, in his remarks
at the recent gathering of editors and printers on
the occasion of the death of Mr.. Daniel N. Has
ke of the Transcript, stated that in 1922 the Daily
Advertiser had but 500 subscribers. John Dorr,
ESQ.,, of this city, the retired editor, publisher and
printer, who is walking cyclopedia on all matters
having reference to the fraternity, says that he
worked in the Boston Daily Advertiser office in
1921. At that time the paper had regular daily
circulation of 1000, and the Weekly Messenger a
circulation of 1000 The old Advertiser was then
considered one of the most reliable, manly and
outspoken papers in the country, reputation that
it has steadily and unwaveringly maintained to
the present time, when it count its patrons by
the thousands.

Negotiations are pending for the sale of the shoe
factory in this city. A gentleman from Norridge
wock, of ample means, has made an offer for the
factory which is satisfactory to Mr.. Stacy, the pro-
prietor, but there is difference of opinion in re-
gard to the price of adjacent property, which the
gentleman desires to own, and there is the hitch.
The trade, however, may yet be made. We trust
that this may be the result. The gentleman ne
gotiating for the purchase did business in the shoe
line the past year to the amount of 1000, and
if he comes here will fill the factory with opera

1.-THE best, cheapest and most beautiful
magazine for young folks and everybody"
There are two editions, the plain, fur
nshed TO subscribers for the amazingly
small sum Of 20 cents year, and the IL
Illustrated, which cost 81 u year. The
number before us is charmingly illustra-
ted, and its pages arc crowded with a
great variety of excellent reading from
the pens of popular and CITED writers;
The success Of What Merit? rs reported
by the publisher, seems quite remarkable,
an aggregate circulation of $4,000 copies
having been attained, though only two
years old. Specimens of the two cdi.

TO Claimants Under
the Homestead Act.
f. S. DEWEY,
Recorder.

Chas A. Jeyte hands us the follwing In
regard to the Homestead act:
II Is provided in the Homestead act
that IN order to complete titles TO claims
under it the claimant must, ut the end OF
1--we years from the date of his entry, or
within two years thereafter, make proofs
Of settlement and cultivation, and unless
he does this his ~cntry is subject to be
cancelled. This provision, through ig-
norancc or forgetfulness, Is quite apt, In
some cases, to be over looked, and when
this happens the neglect will certainly
lead to ADVERTISEMENTS, and perhaps to
hardships. There are already some cases
in which persons who have been initiated
titles TO lands under this law have al
lowed the limitation provided by 1t TO
expire withoat making their final proofs
and the General Land Office, in pur-
suance of its duty, has Instructed the
Land Officers of the various districts TO
notify parties who may be delinquent in
this respect, now or hereafter, OF their
noncompliance with the law, and call
upon them to show cause, within thirty
days from notice, why their entries shall
not be cancelled. At the expiration OF
/ N''eN N''hN NHt lOSti OhlCCIS uIt lCIullCNt
to report the reasons given, or in case
Of failure, report that fact"
The Homestead act was passed in 1862
and 1t was only recently that the limita
lions prescribed in it for the completion
of title has been reached. But the cas-,
In which 1t will occur hereafter will be
come more and more numerous. Durin:
! the present summer and fall their vii
be large number Of these instances IN
every land district in this State, as wei
other States, where owing to the lapse
of seven years from the date of entry
| the time will have expired in which
homestead claimants will be entitled un
der the statute to file their proofs ant
demand their patents. When thai
period arrives it will be necessary foi
them to show cause why, owing to theil
own neglect, their entries shall not b,
cancelled
