SOUTH wINDHAM.
From Our Regular Correspondent
If we in Windham do not vote right
this time Uncertainty will not be through
ignorance; if campaign speakers can en-
tighten us. Hon. Thomas B. Reed as
before noticed, spoke at South Windham
much to the satisfaction of every good
Republican, and last week John Lloyd
Thomas of New York and Rev. Leroy
S. Bean, of Gorham, set forth the prin-
ciple of the Prohibition party in clear
and forcible terms. These speeches
were accompanied by a flag raising and
music by the band. On Monday Sept.
5th, Col. C. P. Mattocks spoke at
North Windham. He showed very
plainly the aims of the two great par
ties, and certainly he left his audience
wiser than he found it. E. Dudley Free
man also spoke briefly at North Wind
ham. Both these gentlemen endorsed
Sheriff Cram very heartily.
John Mcclellan is running his new
corn shop. 1t is a little gem, equipped
with all the newest and most improved
machines and ideas. Mr.. Mcclellan has
long been known as a packer of high
grade canned goods, and there seems no
reason why under these favorable cir
cumstances he should not Guido his
former record. His shop is certainly
enough benefit to this part of the town
for us all to wish him the best of success.
