STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Howard Owen, Esq editor Of the Maine
Farmer, was Memorial Day orator at Bux-
ton, and In this weeks Farmer has some In
teresting remarks about the tine old town.
IL seems that In Buxton began the manufec-
ture Of ready made clothing, which now is
such an extensive industry In this state.
Fifty-three years ago the late Samuel Han
son OF Buxton, having learned the tailor's
trade In Boston. came there with four coats
to be made. He brought the coats In a bum
die - miles from Sac0, whence he walked.
He and his mother finished them and re-
turned them to Boston. Next came a case
Of 40 coats from Boston. which were let out
among the neighbors. Then a shop was
built whence every week $500 coats were let
out to be made by the people In the country
around. This was the beginning Of an in
dustry that mas spread all over Maine and
brought thousands Of dollars into the state
Mr.. Owen speaks a. follows of another ma
tive OF Buxton: "rhe labOrs Of love Of
another gentleman. still on the shores OF
time, are highly appreciated by the people OF
his native town. We refer to Mr.. Mark =.
Emery OF Portland, the proprietor Of Maple
wood Farm In this rural town and In this
charming spot Mr.. Emery spends the pleas
ant months Of summer with the people,
among whom he scatters his benefaetions
with liberal hand. Churches and schools
and every public enterprise feel the quicken
ing power Of his liberality. he has on his
sends large amount OF milk to the Portland
market. Last month he sent 233 cans and
will make the number 800 the present
MONTH"
1t Is said that Of 1O1 men who left Skowhe-
gan for the war In Co. +, Third Maine In
fantry, only two are left in the town TO
greet the old Third at its reunion In Skow-
hegan next August.
Rockland claims-and with apparent
justice-to be great emporium for Memo
rial Day OratOry. For the recent Memorial
Day she furnished eleven orators for differ
ent places as follows: Hon. Q: L; Littleheld,
Miller. Col. L. ID. Carver, L. r. Campbell,
Rev. @. 5. Cummings. Col. Fogler. Arthur
Ltttleheld, DIR. X. Il. Miller and Levi Turner,
Jr.
A gentleman Of fiue literary ability and
taste gives 1t as his opinion that there Is
more real, solid work In North's History Of
Augusta than in Bancrofrs History OF the
United States. That is compliment in
deed. North's History grows more and
more valuable as the years go by: 1t was
labor Of love ON the part Of the able author
Maine Farmer.
The Seventh Maine Battery and Fifteenth
Maine Infantry, as well as the Third, are to
hold their reunions In Skowhegan this
year.

will probably take place on Monday. The
boat race between the Sophomores and
Freshmen took place this afternoon, and

lead which could not be overcome. A beau
tiful squirt, near the finish, was made by
both crews, but the Sophomores finished an
half length ahead
The minstrel show In the evening was an
unqualified success. A large and brilliant
audience filled the hall, and showed their
appreciation of the burnt cork performers
by loud and continued applause. The yoed-
ling of Mr.. Galley was Of a high order, and

The early miner was ambitious, ener-

was too great to daunt him. The pluck
and resources exhibited by him in attempt
ing mighty projects with nothing but his
courage and his brawny arms to carry them
out was phenomenal. His generosity was
profuse and his sympathy active, knowing
no distinction of race. His sentiment that
Justice is sacred was never dulled. His
