Besides delegates, large number of
visitors were present, and the good peo-
pie Of Kennebuuk gave US royal welcome
and manifested their interest by so many
OF the citizens attending the sessions, both
day and evening. The clergymen were
also present, and expressed their appreci.

MAINE WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS

Some OF the foreign daily newspapers
put the price OF their weeklies st sl.O0
wear. They can only do this by slutcing
the matter in their dallies which has be-
come stale. into their weeklies, thus avoid
ing the cost Of composition, which Is the
chief item Of expense in weekly paper.
Such papers are probably worth that price
20 those who have plenty Of time TO read
long discussions and news n after winch

are no substitute for the local and Maine
weekly papers which give IN narrow
compass the most important general news,

such news, miscellany and discussions as
most Immediately interest It's readers
While IL thus supplies, 20 large extent,
the information which foreign papers con-
tain, II otherwise supplies what they do
not contain. The real difference between
the two Is more than the difference In the
cost, in favor OF the home paper. As TO

only reaching 40. Messrs. Hood & Co.
took new departure and Ia the article
now so well and faVorably known as Hoods

quantity OF loo doses for 81. These facts
commend this remedy to the consideration
OF the sick; also tie well, for they are liz.
