The meeting of the Town Improve
ment Society at Mrs. B. F. Eaton's, Sat-
urday afternoon last, called out large
proportion of the members. The meet

ly interesting. The meetings of the

days of each month through the winter.

imported Hampshire Down buck to
futile Bros, Skowhegan, and has pur-
chased buck lamb from Hugh

men access to some of the best blood
that old England has yet produced.

officers of the State Association, Mr.
Goodwin being president and Miss

mittee. The next convention will be in
Foxcroft in May 1898.
The Junior Endeavorers of the Con-
gregational church, gave their leaders,
Misses Elizabeth Webb and Berle Walton
reception at the close of the regular
meeting, Saturday last. A short pro-
gram was given by the young people
and cake and chocolate served. The
affair WAS very pleasant and skillfully
arranged, being in the nature OF sur
prise to those in whose honor it was
given, rejecting much credit upon
the members of the society who had the
matter in charge.
AS has been heretofore stated, we run
advertisements, displays or readers, for
churches and kindred societies, Of
gatherings for the purpose of securing
money, at half price. The theory is that
we give oue-half the price of the adver-
Using for the good of the cause, and the
friends of these societies contribute the
other half. Announcements of public
meetings when the object is not imnedl-
ate financial gain, we publish free and
willingly If they come tn our knowledge,
and we are glad to be informed of such
gatherings, especially where they are of
public interest.
What advantage to our town is the
disbursement Of $1,000 per week or
$4,000 per year for IaborF 1t would BE-
safe to say that $4,000 of this is paid
out directly to Skowhegan traders,
farmers, house owners, etc, for
living expenses. A low profit to the
