Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1890-06-17

Capt. W. w. Miller, of Foxcroft, deputy
collector of internal revenue, was in the
city yesterday. By recent order, he j.
obliged to report to headquarters the street
and number of every mans place of bust
ness in this county. to whom a United
States license has been issued. Since the
Captain was appointed deputy, he has
found quite 4 number of dealers doing
business without the necessary documents
from Uncle Sam, and they have generally
been very willing to pay up all arrearages
without any kicking. evidently knowing
that they were fortunate to get out of the
box so easily as that People whose bust
ness calls for 3 license are not wise if they
undertake to evade it, for they are in con-
slant danger of being caught.
The Journal 10 glad to note and report
the good success Of waterville boy who
is well known here, where he has many
friends and we'll wishers. Mr.. William +.
Tibbetts, son Of Mr.. +. Tibbetts, who lives
on upper Main Street in this city, graduated
from Bates in IS. A year ago last January
he was appointed teacher of Greek and
Latin in the Pswtucket High School, where
he has met with the best of success, and
now he has been elected Professor Of Latin
in IIillsdale College, Hillsiale, Mich.
Eight or nine years ago Mr.. Tibbetts was
employed in the office of the Sentinel in
this city. We remember him as an indus
trious and conscientious young man of
studious habits, entirely deserving of the
success that he is apparently achieving.
The class that will soon graduate from
Colby has twenty-five members. four of
whom are young ladies. The statis,icians
are now following them all up and like unto
the grasshopper they become burden, es-
pecial.y when their victims have hardly had
taker. The students will be asked all sorts
of questions by the man Of statistics-how
much it has cost them to get through with
the four years, how much of it they have
earned themselves, what they intend to do
hereafter, whether they are under engage
ment Of marriage, how much they weigh,
how tall they are, whether they have any
religion, and if so, what, etc, etc, etc.
1t strikes US that the college statstician is
likely to see considerable grief before he
accompanies the task allotted him.
Bowie & Paul now have fourteen men in
their employ, FIVE of them being at Shaw
nut, the others in the city. They have re-
Gently finished the extension of Lockwood
Hotel. for Messrs. Foster & Gray, and the
