A Correction and Other Matters.


To the Editor of the Press:
Please correct error in Limington vote. 1t
should be Conner 205 (not 25O), Talbot 166. l
so sent the despatch, as plainly written as pos
sbe, and it is an error of the operator or print
er. We do not wish the public nor Mr.. Reed
to think his vote fell off 30 in our town; it was
but 10. Several of those were cast by men
who were not boilers. They were careless and
carried the mixed tickets uuknowingly. AS
soon as we discovered their game, every Re-
publican vote was examined before it was
thrown. 1t was an exact copy of our ticket,
and Goodwin inserted instead of Reed.
Lyman was bought up by the Democratic
candidate from here, and gave him majority.
He was down there three days with his 'barrel
of money" but we gave cur candidate (who is
from Lyman this Year, 40 majority, and spoiled
their fun. IIMINGTON,

A BUCKsPoRT MAN IN THE SoUTH.-The
Ellsworth American says young mechanic
who has been stopping several months in the
Southern states, arrived home last Friday He
bears evidence in person and tongue, that Sc
cessna is not delectable place for Northern
man. Not used to being ''bullied," nor quietly
submitting to being stoned, he left an assaulter
one evening in such a condition that to save his
life he was obliged to flee, leaving behind his
earnings, personal effects and thriving bust
ness. He represents the state of society in
southern and central Mississippi as almost I'M
endurable by Northern man, and that the ne
groes live in abiect terror. For fancied in
suit you will be RECALLED With .syou damned
Yank I'll mark you, and forthwith pistol is
presented, but as Yank is usually match for
Johnny, even on his own SOIL the result is
sometimes in favor Of the Yank, as in the case

Stephen futile for trespass. Mr.. futile was
the man who first found the box, and it is al
legged that he made complaint to the author-
ties knowing what the box contained and how
it get there, to injure DR.. Holt. 1t is said that
when DR.. Holt taught school in Mr.. Tuttle's
district short time since there was trouble in
the school between the teacher and one of Mr.
Tuttle's children, since which the feeling be-
tween the two men has been anything but
friendly.
