We have noticed in a few OF our Maine

Probably Bro. Miller rejected the tempt
ing advertisement, coming from good
agency at high price, as We did The
liquor interests OF the county are very &C
tive, st present; aud they seek, by every
device, 20 make iurosds in Prohihitory
States. We have refused an unusually
large number OF liquor advertisements, Of
fered at very remunerstive rates, during
the pas, year. We believe dealers not
ouly seek TO secure the retail trade OF
Maine; but they wish TO accu>tom our
people TO seeing liquors advertised aud no
ticed in the press as other goods are. II
would doubtless aid in creating send-
ment uufayorable TO prohibition, II the
press should reverse its customary course
In such matters. We trust new ad. will
not have sufficient charm, in these good

Union county is now practically an
old settled country with all the con-
veniences to be enjoyed in the older
states, in the form of railroads, tele-
graphs, towns villages, chuches,
schools, bridges, ETC., and with at
least hundred miles OF settled
country intervening between 1t and
any portion of Uncle Sans unoccu-
pied domain.
Hon. f. w. Miller and the other
members of his family take the train
this evening and will join the pro-
cession as it moves on, at Scotland.
1t is quite a matter of surprise and
comment and even chagrin among
our townspeople to see the Millers
leave their handsome and comfort
able home in this city, even tempo
rarily, and strike out for the extreme
frontier, but perhaps the induce
ment is all-suf1icient. We shall at
least be happy to welcome their re-
turn as soon as a compliance with
the land laws may admit. Mr.. Mil
ler's law office will be left in charge
Of G.. w. Kellogg.
