Portland Press: II Is said by acme OF

sAylNa An THE sPIooI.

The organ Of the agitators makes q
point Of the Increased cost of doing bus
mess on Paris Hill on account Of express
aud freight charges from South Paris to
the Hill. Let's see about this. The
official reports for the past eight years
show that all the freight and express
charges paid by the county from South
Paris to the Hill have averaged about
forty cents a week. This saving would
not pay the difference In the cost Of
electric lights at South Paris as against
kerosene ut the Hill.

Thursdays Argus contained the fol-

arc glad to say had no foundation In
fact:
OXFORD, Jan. IL.
The two Lynn, Mass, horse thieves,
Cook aud Davis, who are confined In
our county jail, made desperate at
tempt To escape recently. They had
succeeded In saving of two OF the Iron
bars which secure the window to their
cell, and were about to crawl through
when John W. Chadbourne, the alleged
embexzling tax collector, who was 10
the adjoining cell, discovered what
they were doing aud gave the alarm.
One Of the other prisoners says the two
men began To saw into the bars on the
very first day Of their Incarceration.
Fridays Argus contains the follow
Ing denial from one who Is In position
to know:
4 notice In the Argus OF this morning
n special from Oxford In relation to an
alleged attempt Of the Lynn horse
thieves To escape from our county jail.
The report Il well written and IL
good reading, but Il lacks one important
element to make II credltable to the
writer, or Interesting to your readers,
who understand the motive for Its cir
culation, and that Ia the element oftruth.
There IL not particle Of truth In the
entire communication.
Since the prisoners have been incar-
cerated here they have been very quiet
and orderly, and have made no effort
nor shown any disposition to escape or
rebel.
The story IL q fabrication pure and
simple, made out of whole cloth.

On Sunday evening the pastor OF

him rightly "a thousand years" means
very long period OF time as the gen.
erations OF mankind, one after an
other. count time in their way.
The preacher has mid way belief. SO
to speak. between the pro m illenium-
tics and tho post millennium ties. He
thinks Christ's llrst coming will be
spiritual one. visible only to tho true
believers. The worlds people will
not see him. This will be at the he i.
ginning OF the period called "a thou
sand years" and when worldly peo.
pie will be deep In sin and taken UNI
awares.
Ills reign of thousand years of
peace on earth having beon consu M
mated, them will he the fret resur-
rection, that OF the true believers who
have died with faith in Christ. At the
end OF tho thousand years there will
he second resurrection, That of the
Wicked md rebeliious rcjecturs Of
Christ and the world VIII no turned
over. They will DC cast into the lake
of fire"
There will be d new heaven and a
new earth, tho paradise of the re
deemed and saved of God. with unin-
terrupted health, love. joy and peace
