Among the many interesting romancers
whom the State of Maine has produced is
said by a Lewiston Journal correspondent
to be one Jonathan B. HENDERSON who was for
many years resident Of Fayette. He was
a native of New Hampshire. He served as
= soldier in the garrison of Fort Constitu-
ton, Portsmouth Hsrbor. A storm which
he was wont to describe certainly exceeded
in severity anything we are wont TO have in
these modern times He asserted that il
blew 80 hard upon this occasion that it took
all the dlling out of his shirt and all the
teeth of Of hand saw.

Mercantile College Notes.

The College has been favored
with quite a number of visitors
this week, but we failed to get
names. Prof. Plank Of KANSAS
City, Kan, Lecturer on Botany,
was among the number and he
gave very pointed little talk,
Monday afternoon, which was
highly appreciated.
New students are coming in al
most daily until the seating ca2a-
city is now almost all taken up.
But we understood from Prof. W.
J. Smith that "there is alNay
room for one more" and that stu
dents need have no fears on that
line, but come right along for he
has beautiful and roomy build
ing and is always ready to make
suitable accommodations for new
students.
Mr.. Smith has just returned
from canvass in Marion, Pike
and Rails counties, and as usual
he came back with great hope of
future success.
Mrs. Smith principal of the pen
manship department is slowly re-
covering from very severe attack
of typhoid lever. That de-
partment has been under the
charge of Prof. Grimes during her
illness.
Prof. Howell's class in Com
mercial law is doing some splen-
did work. They pass in papers
on examinations that would do
credit to those IN the legal pro-
fession. The Professor has taken
upon himself new relations now
and his class may expect thorough
drills on marriage contracts and
partnership.
The actual business department,
one of the ideal features of a
business college, was opened this
week and Prof. Mumma principal
Of the department extends a very
cordial invitation to the business
men of the city to visit it and ex-
anime into its merits. The Pro.
fessor is an experienced teacher
and spares no pains to make that
department a model of its kind.
Prof. Wrlght's class in short
haLd and type writing is doing
excellent work. He is an active
teacher and his work speaks for
itself. He will have new class
next week. His class in telegraphy
Just organized this week, is very
promising one.
