We very much regret TO learn that cur
esteemed townsman, Mr. CHARLES N.
Wilson, is about to leave town. Mr..
Wilsonshas been lifelong citizen OF
Raymond aud been always Interested IN
it's welfare. He has been good bust
ness man and that he has been held in
esteem by his townsmen is demoustrat-
ed by the fact that he has held many
positions Of trust and honor. He was
| for ID years one of the sslectnen of the
town and foratwo terms, 1878. repre-
sented his district in the legislature OF
the State. Until recently Mr.. Wilson
| has been q Democrat but not being able
TO endorse the prin pies sTof that party,
| he hHs..con Guided thereafter to cast his
lot with the Republican Gparty Sand was
| staunch adherent of Mckinley at the
| last election. The best wishes of all will
go with Mn. Wilson in his future bust
ness ventures and We all wish him sue
cess.
