Writing Up the Town.

Some time ago representative of q b Os-
on paper came here, and under pretense of
writing up the town" collected about S75
rom our citizens, Ii was so long ago that
he event had about passed from the minds
# the victims when they this week received
'opies of the paper. 1t appeared under the
.uise of q letter from Houlton aud there
we're just forty one lines that could possibly
,e tortured into a reference to Presque Isle
md it is safe to say that such tumble of
lonsense and misinformstIon never was con
lensed into so short space before. If the
anne amount of money had been devoted to
'ur local papers, the return would have been
much greater r.-ArOostook Herald.

made 80 many fortunes for enterprising men.
