sBThe Richland county Democracy have
voted to do away with the primary system in
making nomination ons, and substituted the
delegate system. The primary had been in
vogue in that county for a number of years,
but it did not give general satisfaction and
was abolished, no doubt for the better.

The Fiberite Company is turning out
Symmes' Hay Caps at a lively rate at

interesting to see them made. The pulp
is first made into large circular sheet
some four feet In diameter, then taken by
two men and pressed by hand into o
large mould in the form of an inverted
umbrella with deep grooves all around
running from near the center to the cir
conference. In this it is subjected to
heat sufficient to harden it so that it cal
be lifted when 1t is taken from the mould
and turned right side up over an iron
frame, under which is glowing charcoal
fire. This dries and har lens the insid,
of the cap and makes 1t ready for the in
This is done by dipping it in large iron
tank filled with liquid, heated to just the
right temperature. When 1t comes ou
of this bath it is Of brown color, and /,

The Library Building

The second floor of the Public Library
building is finished ready for the decora-
tor, and the carpenters and painters are
busily at work on the first floor. The two
large fire places In terra-cott are In posi-
ton, adding much to the beauty and at.
tractivene So of the rooms. The Memorial
room on the first floor and the Society
room on the second, will probably, whtn
completed, he the pleasan,est rooms in
Somerset county, and cannot be surpassed
by any in the state. They are light and
cheerful and command the superb view
five miles up the Kenncbec to the village
of Norridgewock, and the upper room
overlooks a large portion of the mos,
picturesque part Of the village.
The interior decoration of the whole
building has been awarded to Maj. John
W. Berry Of Gardiner. The work Is to
be of the best quality and the decorations
are to be worthy of the building and in
keeping with the high grade of the
building throughout.
Architect Lewis was in town last week
and brought his drawings of the bronze
tablets, or rather one tablet in three parts
| to be placed In the Memorial room. Tn,
form and style of the tablets seem to BIZ
satisfactory, also the inscription on the
central panel:
THIS TABLET
Is Placed Here by the Town of Skowhegat
In Grateful Remembrance Of Her
PATRIOTIC Sons
| Who Fought 80 Nobly for the Preservation
of
GONE COUNTRY AND ONE FLAG"
The Inscriptions suggested for the side
panels upon the drawing, are:
"April 10, 1861.
Now, therefore, |, Abraham Lincoln
President of the United States, in virtue
of the power in me vested by the consti
tuition and laws, have thought fit to call
forth and hereby do call forth the miltia
of the several States of the Union to the
aggregate number of 70 600"

Secretary of War, Washington.
Gen. Lee surrendered the Army Of
Northern Virginia this afternoon on
terms proposed by myself The accom-
panyng additional correspondence win

U. S. GRANT,

About the adoption of these inscriptions
there is diversity of opinion, and we are
informed the gentlemen who have 1t in
charge would be glad of sugg estions from
citizens In r. gard to this matter.

The Day We Celebrate.

'tChristmas comes but once year ant
1t NAV be well for some that IL does not.
While 1t is good day filled to the brin
with happiness and joy, there are outs
about it or about the way 1t is observed
To somel it is day of carorsal OF glut
ting and debauch. In some cases The
making of presents is carried TO an eX
IRENE that pull down hard upon thos'
who furnish the cash, causing embarrass
ment and adding to the burden upon the
backs already bowed low with care anC
labor.
To some it brings but sorrow and the
remembrance of former days wher
friends now gone were with them, and tc
others pain and grinding poverty will
scarcely hope of relief.
But those are exceptional instances
People generally in this Christian coun
try gladly hail Christmas for observance
In a manner betting Christian people.
Their public demonstrations are joyous
ones where prayer and praise are EN-
phasized by good deeds and gifts bestow-
ed upon worthy poor without ostenta-
tlons.
The children and children's children as
semble in the old homestead, or parents
visit the homes of their children; the
holy bonds of the family are strengthen
ed and every member is benefited there
by. Anything that binds together fami-
lies and friends and increases their love
and kindly feeling for each other is a
blessing Christmas, with its gifts and
reunions, must have this effect and this
one item to its credit must many times
over outweigh any effects that come by
abuses of the day.
