THE PIRATE SHIP GOES DOWN.

THE PIRATE SHIP GOES DOWN.
Says Pirate Jim to Chairman John
Our ship, they will capsze her,
Send men alOft the crOss-trees on
And shoot the MessmeriZer.
Our range he's got, and every shot
Strikes us 'twixt wind and water;
It's getting so alfred hot
That we must stop this slaughter.
The Parsons" shot come. thick and fast,
His guns are always ready,
Republicans nailed to the mast,
His aim is low and steady.
So go aloft my trusty John,
Take thou thy Pascalizer,
Seat thou thyselt the cross-trees on,
And shoot the MessmerIZer.
Johns little bolt was quickly sped
But did not raise blister,
The ParsOn merely scratched his head
And smole smile sinister.
Then double-shotting every gun
And for the pirate steering,
He boarded her upon the run
His seamen loudly cheering.
He struck the black-1ag craft abeam,
Crashed through her ribs like thunder,
The waters poured through every seam
And Pirate Jim went under.

He boarded her upon the run
His seamen loudly cheering.
He struck the black-flag craft abeam,
Crashed through her ribs like thunder,
The waters poured through every seam
And Pirate Jim went under.
CAPT. W. Ii. Huston, the candidate Of
the League, and the choice OF all good
republicans for the office of county
Judge of Bexar county, is making spr-
tied canvass. All straight republicans
will remember next Tuesday that Capt.
Huston fought bravery to preserve re-
publican integrity in the county conven-
ton on the 10th of August, and only
ceased his gallant fight for bed rock
principles and the grand old party ofthe
union when the ship went down,
scuttled, by Pirate Jim.
WAR to the knife, the knife tO.the hit,
is the slogan.ot the Industrial League as
they rush upon the intrenchments of the
so-called peoples party. There is reason
for their action. The peoples anaconda
has endeayored to crush them in Its
folds, and has forbidden the candidates
in the amalgam ticket to give one dollar
for League expenses, because the league
would not endorse that piebald Conglom-
ertion, head, tail, stomach and spleen.
The LIGHT asks the hearty support OF
its readers for the legislative candidates
of the Industrial League. These men
have been chosen to represent the
workingmen's interests in the next leg
islature. They are men perfectly COM
who examines the statute books of this
state and sees how unequally the laws
bear upon the poor, but will concede
the great and pressing necessity for a
change in the labor legislation of Texas.
These men are pledged to vote against
the Importation of European pauper
labor on the farms and on the public
buildings of the state; are pledged to
vote against the Withdrawal of large
bodies of public land from actual settle
ment; are pledged in short to stand
upon the republican state platform, and
should receive the support OfeVery re-
publican voter as well us every work
ingman in the county.
BROTHER WURZBACH the twin angel
of the camp of the Egyptians and the
camp of the Israelites, is having tough
time of it. The democracy righteously
condemn him for securing nomination
at their hands and then denying that it
was of his knowledge, in order to secure
the peoples persimmon, and thus save
campaign expenses He is the llneal
successor Of Bunyan's Mr.. Face-two-
ways and will look six ways for Sunday
in order to find votes enough to carry
him into the judges seat next Tuesday.
In making war upon the Industrial
League the Peoples popularity have
done very strange thing. The League
endorsed several of the peoples candi-
dates, but some of them it would not
swallow. The Newcomb party, like
Shylock, must have the pound of flesh.
And now because the League lamb
would not crawl inside of the Peoples
lion, that roaring beast of prey declares
that the little lamb shall go supperless
10 bed. In making this decree the COM
bination have probably put their incis-
ors through more aliment than they can
masticate.

Maine and massachusetts,,

The Transcript says: SIN an article on
Maine, in Chambers Encyclopedia, we read
that "Maine was settled in 1921, and was a
part of Massachusetts until 1920" This is of
piece with the general view of the history
of Maine. Her early history has been over
Swallowed by her connection with Massachu-
sets. One would infer from the statement
made above that Maine was part of Massa-
chusetts from her earliest settlement until
1920. No notice is taken of the facts that
settlements were made ON the coast of Maine
prior to that of the Pilgrims at Plymouth,
that for half a century she had an indie
pendent existence under various charters,
and that while Massachusetts attempted to
extend her jurisdiction over the territory in
1861, and purchased portion of it for e.
$50 in 1877, it was not wholly merged in
Massachusetts until after the revolution of
1888. The investigations of the Maine His
torical Society have brought out many facts
in regard to the early history of Maine, and
the work is still prosecuted by its members,
and must result in writing anew the history
of its settlement. Mr.. James p. Baxter, who
has been appointed editor of the fourth vol
ume of the documentary series of the Soci-
ETY., is now in London prosecuting his re-
searches in the Records Office and the Brit
ish Museum, and has collected from private
correspondence many interesting facts con-
nected with our early history. The papers
he is having copied will present continu-
GUS documentary history of Maine such as
hasnever before been gathered When this is
published we shall have the materials for a
popular history of our State which will
place it in its true relations to Massachu-
sets and be a work of rare interest,"

saccarappa in EarIv DAVIS.

Mr.. j. r. Andrews, now nearly rs years OF
age, came to this village in 1882 and engaged
in the manufacture of machinery. At that
time there were large number of saw mills
on Presumpscot river. The name of Babb
was frequent among the inhabitants, and the
place became associated with "Babbs and
Slabs" The first cotton mill was put in OPP
Grafton shortly after Mr.. Andrews located in
the village. Mr.. Henry Smith was the agent.
Mr. Andrews formed a copartnership with
Mr.. John I. Gilman, machinist from New
Hampshire, and they continued in business
until 1884.
A cotton mill was erected in 1887, ON the
present site of W. K. Dana & Co.'S bagging
mills, for the manufacture of thread. These
were the only mills in the village until about
1861.
Shortly after the dissolution between
MeSSrS. Andrews q Gilman, the latter went
to Bath, and in 1861 he became editor of the
Portland Daily PRESS.
Mr.. Andrews became patron of the
PRESS at its starting, and has continued to
receive it regularly ever since, by advance
pride and satisfaction copies of the first
issue. During the past twenty-five years he
has been engaged in the sale of clothing
and dry goods, and has occupied the store on
the corner of Maine and Bridge streets for
twenty-five consecutive years.
Mr. L. w. Edwards, another of our enter
prising citizens, has occupied the store adj
ioininS Mr.. Andrews the same number of
wears. 1t is doubtful if there are any other
business men in the village, who nave held
their quarters so many years without cha4nge'
