LIrTLEFIELD & Co:
Your Constitutional Catarrh Remedy is doing
wonders. took the trouble to see Mr.. Charles

Charles then commenced taking it for deafness
he having been so deaf since the age OF IA (now
being AZ, that his family did not converse with
him except upon matters of Importance; he felt
some benefit from the first bottle, and now, aiter
having taken three hears better than he ever re-
members hearing before in his life. He was so
feeble that he could do but little work. and when
he went to the village. had to ride home In the
bottom ofthe buggy, and also raised much matter
from his lungs; but is now quite smart and feels
confident of regaining his health.

OF january thereafter"
1t is apparent that the term of office of the
| Register OF Deeds was five years; that the
elections were to be made every five wears
| from "a specified date, and that they were to be
| simultaneous throughout the State. So they
ever nave been. IL follows that vacancy to
be filled by election could only be for the re-
| mainder Of the term, as otherwise the election
could not be in each county and in each regis
| try district established by law. 80 every i've
| years thence following, that is "from the sec
ond Monday of September, 1872" Any other
| construction permits the choice of the register
to be IN any one of the intervening five Years,
and not in the five years thence following in
consecutive series of that period.
That this Is the true construction of the
statute Is made apparent by recurrence to pre-
eeeding legislation. By st. 1921, chap 9s sec.
the register ofdeeds is to ''hold his office for
the term OF five years, and until some other
| person shall be chosen and qualified 10 act in
his place." In case of vacancy by geo. ) the
| person chosen to fill such vacancy shall be
Register ofDeeds for such county until the
time appointed by this act for the election of
Register of Deeds throughout the State. The
time appointed for such election is by sec. /,
lat the town and plantation meetings, or the
second Monday Of September, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
twenty-one, and every fce years thence fol.
| toetng." In the revision of of 1910 and in
every subsequent revision the election of Reg
ister OF Deeds is to be on a particular day and
| Snneiy uNc years tuence following.
The practice from the first organization of
the government has been to choose the regis
Ter OF deeds every five years throughout the
State. In accordance with the views ALREADY
expressed il was held by this Court in Rose
vs.. County Commissioners 80 Maine 243, that
the elections to this Office were to be holden i'm
1891, and in every five years thence following,
Nor is anything here advanced at variance
with the construction given to the sixth article
OF the constitution, rs amended BY the ninth
amendment, by which the Office of Register of
Probate is made elective, 81 Maine COZ. By
TINS amendment, the Registers of Probate are
TO "hold their Offices for four years. commenc-
ing on the first OF January next after their
election" in whatsoever year that election NAV
De. There is no provision prescribing that the
general election for that office shall be every
four years from fixed date, but registers are
TO be chosen at the September election next at:
ter vacancy, and for term "of four years,
commencing on the first day Of January nexi
after their election"

Tor the timely warning of Indians

from Il sack on lire thrown from the
