The last four to be classified together as
forms of credit.
Their respective legal relationships

while the last two are redeemed only in

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.


A Kenduskeag correspondent of the
Bangor Wing writes to that paper: Large
game has be n plenty in this town. sew
eral deer having been shot within
couple OF miles of the village. The great
est excitement, however, is with wildcats,
two of which have been caught by Bert
q. Brown of Kenduskeag. The first one
he killed in the trap. 1t weighed 20
pounds. The next one he found in the
trap and came to the village to get q
box, chain and strap. With DR.. Watson
Purinton he went to the trap and with
the assistance of some others managed
TO get the box over it. The doctor
etherlzed it so they got the chain around
Its neck and brought it to the village
where they made large box and put it
in. 1t is on exhibition at F. W. Per
kins's store and is great attraction. 1t
is estimated that it will weigh some 80
pounds.

has not yet been fully decided upon, but
it will probably be held in Portland, sor
some one of the cities in the western part
of the state Secretary of Agriculture
McKeen now has in mind meeting for
the whole of the New England States. at
which they will not only have butter
shown, but the various brands of feed,
and perhaps dressed poultry. Mr. McKeen
thinks that such a meeting would be one
of vast interest and profit to the farmers
and dairymen OF New England.
