The many visitors to our village this
week do not see us at our best. April il
not a good month to visit any Maine
town in this latitude. There are patches
of snow and ice about our streets and
grounds that delay the annual Sticking
up process. We claim that our town is
not behind other New England towns in
thrift and natural scenery, but come in
any month from May to October and we
will make a better appearance. Come
again, please.
Company + National Guards are
having an armory fitted up for them in
the Ieselton block and will remove
from their present quarters in the second
story of the Reporter block where the
company has been quartered for about
10 years. The new organization of the
State military forces calls for larger
companies, the minimum numbers of
each company now being above 80 and
this number calls for much larger
drill room than the one now occupied,
hence the removal. The company eX-
poets to get settled in its new armorv in
about two months.
