Peaches in large quantities are be-

Shepherd made the first shipment last
Monday.
Twenty-Five cents a pint for rasp-
berries is the way they are quoted in
Chicago, and some of our people are
taking advantage Of it.
Services have been held nightly
this week at the Methodist church by
the pastor. Rev. b. A. Hayes
preached Thursday night.
We had to somewhat curtail the
favors of our Texas and Colorado cor
respondents this week, not having
space to give their letters in full.
Lawyer Ware is the aesthetic mem :

flower windmill in front of his office

Wheat harvest is in full blast all
around Milan, and the crop is fine.
We hear little or no complaint.
When threshing begins we will give
some figures.
We are no longer a candidate for
sheriff, the present incumbent, Mr..
Hefey, having consented to run
again. Ofcourse he will have a walk
over if no one else runs against him.
We have barely room to say that
the Methodist church was filled last
night, to hear the able, eloquent, log
ical lecture on prohibition by DR.. With
ers. About sixty names were enrolled.
The Clerk and master of the Hum.

vertises the Dickinson property for
sale. Some Of the best property of
the town is advertised, and the sale
ought to be largely attended.
The Rev. j. E. Eof, of Somerville,
preached last Sunday morning and
evening at the Baptist church, and
the congregation was well pleased with
him; in fact, some of them are enthu-
siastic. 1t is thought he will be calls

Mr.. Hays Algee cleared an even
one hundred dollars on one fourth of
an acre Of Strawberries this year, and
didn't have more than one fourth of a
crop. This averages S400 per acre
with a short crop, or $500 on a full
crop. 1t is better than a gold mine.
A run of stock was, few days

ture fame. An improvised choir sang the ded-
ication hymn. The deuicatory service of the

The Proposed County.


The line of division suggested in the petition
as feasible, natural and equitable one, in
cudes, in the proposed county, "all the terri
tory in Aroostook north of the south line of
Easton, Presque Isle and townships numbered
H."
The population of the comfy in 1880, was
4l,7e0 and that of the towns and plantations
proposed to be "set off was 24,O60. At the
rate of increase e,-about per cent. for several
years previous to 1SS0-the present population
of the county is about $4,000, and that of the
proposed county about 26,5O0. The value of
estates in the county, not including wild lands
was, in 1880, So, ,225, 1884. that of the towns and
plantations in the proposed county being about
$2,700,O0O.
The total value of the wild lands in the
county was 50, $780, ,098, the value Of the wild
lands in the portion sought to be set off being
$16S1,07S.
The total valuation Of the county In 1880
was 81, ,564.9 .932, that of the proposed county be-
ing about $4,3S0,0O0.
The new county would therefore have a
population, according to the census of 1880,
6OOO larger than that of Franklin county, 5000
larger than Piscstaquis county, and nearly
5000 larger than Sagadahoc county, and
valuation sufficient to meet the expenses of the
county at rates of taxation less burdensome to
its people than those now imposed.
These facts and figures show the feasibility
of the proposed scheme, and when combined
with the imperative needs of our people con-
stitute an unanswerable argument for divis-
ion.
Aroostook county was originally part of
Penobscot and Washington. 1t was incorporat-
ed in 1889 and enlarged in 1843 by additions
from Penobscot, and in 1874 by addition from
Piscataquis and Somerset counties. At the
time of its Incorporation it numbered about90O0
inhabitants, and the additions increased its
population to only about 11,000, occupying a
comfy 1000 square miles larger than the state
of Connecticut. At that time the territory
which now it is asked shall be constituted a
separate county with more than 260O03inhabi-
tants, was "a bowling wilderness" "unyexed"
by the hand of man, except shere and there BY
an Arcadian settler or some hardy pioneer or
lumberman. Since then the wilderness has
become the home of thousands of energetic
and intelligent American citizens, and thou
sands more are contemplating the making of
future homes on its fertile soil.
The divisions of states into townships, and
the incorporation OF townships into counties,
are some of the wisest methods by which our
American self-government is secured and main
tanned and we believe the best interests of All
concerned require that Northern Aroostook
shall be constituted separate county,-Aroos-
took Republican.
