A great many more will start soon.
Arrangements are being made for an
other Demorest contest to take place at
Condor soon. This time the prize will
be contested for by ladies over fifteen
years Of age. Several boys will also dis
play their elocutionary ability on this
occasion.
Wednesday night was "hallowe'en,"
and the boys evidently did not overlook
that fact, judging from the appearance
OF the town next morning. Every mov-
able article In town changed locations
that 10, everything that could be lifted
and was loose at both ends.
Benton Mires recently discovered on
his farm on West Fork, six miles west
Of Fossil, several springs Of mineral
water, which will doubtless become
famous for their medicinal qualities.
He has had the water analyzed, and
valuable mineral ingredients we're found
therein.

from Portland. The new stock Of goods

the firm has made another war on prices,

and see for yourselves.

An exchange says an editor once APP
piled at the door Of hades for admission.
"Well," replied his sable majesty, 1--WE

and as we have more Of that class Of
persons than any other, we passed law
prohibiting the admission Of editors"

That the country weekly forms a
goodly part Of the foundation Of Journal.
ism Is shown by the fact that Of %, 900
newspapers Of the United States $4,000
are issued from country towns. These
country papers circulate each week

A Maine exchange says the Australian
ballot has done more to purify the cleo
tions In Maine cities than anything In a
generation. The ward heeler Is clean out
Of job. The art OF getting votes by
getting voters drunk is no longer work
able. Order and decency, dignity and
peace now exist instead OF the disorder
and venality that used to characterize
the ward rooms In the ring-ruled cities.

ant duties pertaining TO that Office.
Some important resolutions we're passed
by the convention, few of which we
will publish later on.
