THE "GRAND BANKS" OF HANCOCK.
Lewiston TOurnal

Lewiston Journal
The Hancock Agricultural Society is
an innovation for that county. Heretofore
it has had no county fair no member of
the Board of Agriculture, and has drawn
no share of the state bounty. There are
hundreds of fishermen but many more
hundreds of farmers in Hancock. and
farmers society will do good The Grand
Banks" of Hancock are the grass banks,
after all.
PROHIBITION IN IOWA.
Portland Press.
There are fewer convCts in the Iowa
penitentiaries to-day than there were three
years ago, though the State has been in
creasing i'll population in that time. The
Iowa State Register thinks this change is
due To the closing of the saloons of the
State through the prohbitory law. There
are a few places like keokuk where, on a
square test, Il majority votes against en-
forcing the prohibition law. But Iowa is
State of few large cities, and As in
Maine, public sentiment Is 50 strongly in
favor of prohibition that in four-titths OF
the counties the law is well enforced
