Liquor at the Fair.

Liquor at the Fair.
Despite the efforts of the local w. G..
II. u, there was considerable liquor
drinking at the county fair. Only the
stuff that is known as "wash" was
sold openly with possibly some sweet
cider, but there was great deal of
pocket business going on and some
drunkenness. l.. V. Vance and his
son Fred were arrested on complaint
by Attorney Dunnett and brought be-
fore Justice Sargent and fined for liq-
uor selling. NJ. T. Fenno was also ar
rested for intoxication but his hearing
was postponed to this week.
An Old Stage Driver.
One of the visitors at the fair last
week was AlonzO Dickey of Rockport,
Illinois, now wealthy farmer of that
section. Forty-nine years ago Mr..
Dickey lived in Stanstead and drove
an eight-horse freight wagon from
there to Boston. 1t took three weeks
to make this trip and four pair of
horses were used. The horses were
guided as oxen, no reins being used on
the team. The drivers sat on a board
run out from the wheels called "lazy
board" The team picked up little
freight between Stanstead and this
place, but often took on here some
plOws and stoves from the Fairbanks.
Mr.. Dickey found several old residents
here who remembered him and his
team, and old times were revived with
them with much interest. Mr.. Dickey
is a native of Topsham and may visit
that place before he goes West.

The Lecture Course.

The lecture committee have about
completed their engagements for the
coming course, and the usual an
nouncements will probably be distrib-
uted next week. The lectures this
year will be very entertaining in char
acter, bright and crisp, by such we'll
known speakers as Rev. DR.. James M.
Buckley of New York, who discusses
superstitiOns; Hon. r. G.. Horr of
Michigan, who talks about the labor
problem; Sam Small, the we'll known
evangelist; George Kennan, the Centu-
ry writer, whose subject will be "Life
in Siberia )" x-Gov. Will Cumback of
Indiana, Western wide awake; w.
FL. S. Aubrey of England, an eloquent
speaker and personal friend of Glad
stones, who takes the English states
man for his theme, and Rev. Or. Lori
mer of Chicago, the "Cicero of the
American pulpit" Leland T. Powers,
ment, assisted by his wife, Mrs. Louise
Baldwin Powers, soprano sOlOist; the
Germania orchestra and w. H. Fessen-
den, the we'll known tenor, give the
opening concert Jules Levy, the
greatest cornetist in the world, sus-
tanned by brilliant company, give
another of the concerts, and the Mousin
concert company, with Miss Tanner
and others give another. The course
as a whole is fully equal to that
of last year and in average excellence
superior. In addition to the above
there will be one more concert for
which the committee are now negotia-
ting and which they expect will be
fully as good as any other entertain
ment of the course. The auction sale

One Advantage in Being Poor.
Those of us who really cannot afford
teams have one great consolation es-
pecially in times of protracted rains in
the fact that the side walks are as a
general rule good deal safer and cas-
ier travelled than the village streets
During the rains of the past two weeks
Eastern avenue has been little better
than a country road, not as good as
some country roads outside the village
But the most unique specimen of road
building may be found from the bridge
over Sleeper's river on South Main
street to the fair ground. If something
isn't done to remedy the condition Of
affairs there before winter we pity
those who have to travel the road in
the spring.
