that in few places the law is not as well enforced
it should be- and it having become painfully evil

forcement of the law that it is in many respects ex
ceedingly defective 1t is time for our friends in
Maine, of all parties and creeds, and temperance
organizations to come together in consultation and
unite their efforts along the line of a clearly and
wisely devised plan to extermlnate the last vestge
of the alcoholic liquor traffic in our State

The Missing SAGE Merchant.

The missing Ssco grocer, Thomas Nicol, Of
whom mention has previously been made in
the PRESS, now turns up in Chicago. Last
Saturday letter was received from him by
his wife, in which he expressed himself as
having encountered great mental agony since
his absence. "God only knows what 1 have
suffered" he writes. 1t now appears that he
was somewhat involved in debt, and several
obligations about to become due so weighed
apOn him as TO perhaps cause temporary
arrangement of mind when ia q moment of
desperation he "forsook his friends" An effort
has been made t. bring him back, and his
many friends in Saco and vicinity anxiously
await the resolts. Last Sunday evening Rev.
j. W. Parsons of the Saco Free Baptist church
started for Chicago entrusted with the charge.
Seventy-fvs dollars had previously been
placed in his hands by friends of the missing
man to defray the expenses of the trip.
