Ordered to the Front.

Governor Powers has decided to order
the two Maine regiments of national
guards to rendezvous at Augusta, Mon
day next.
All the companies will leave home
Monday on special troop trains except
the three companies located at Calais,
Eastport and Machias, who will embark
Tuesday morning on an International
steamer for Mount Desert ferry where
they will take the Maine Central for
Augusta.
The regiment adjutants and quarter
masters will arrive Saturday and the
company cooks are expected to arrive
Monday morning to prepare the food for
the loyal boys in blue before they arrive.
After they are once in camp there it is
not known by anyone how long they will
remain. At the shortest time it will
take three or four days to organize a
regiment for the United States service.
Gen. Richards has the impression that
the regiments may be in camp at Au-
gusta some weeks.
Governor Powers suggests the advis-
ability of employing the Maine guards
in defence of important sea coast towns
in the State.

We are informed that the Republican
county committee for Somerset county
will held meeting at Hotel Coburn,
May 4, at l p. M, to make the necessary
arrangements for the June convention.
The State convention will be held Tues
day, June 2Sth, at Augusta. The con-
gressional district convention will prob
ably be held the next day at Waterville.
The Somerset reporter., 1898-04-28

II you want to buy carriage of any
kind you will find them at the Hotel
Coburn stable. We have few more of
last years stock left which we are clos
ing out at a very low price, to make
room for new ones that are coming in.
Don't let some wise smarty that would
try, make you believe that a carriage
that has been painted year is not good.
Such is not the case, for carriage that
has been painted year or more, the
paint and varnish have become hard and
will last longer than fresh painted one.
Remember the place, Hotel Coburn
stables Madison street, where you will
find large stock of carriages on hand
all the time.

fueron a yer al coloso
que, espantando al mas sereno,
desoendi6 por la vsrtiente,
y hallaron la ssrpiente
revolcandose en- ell cieno.
No me importa nj me extrana
que, hacienda 10 fntimo enorme,
la opinion publica forme
ell alud de "a patraf1a.
A impulses del ser mas vii
La indiferencia sc mueve;
pero Sc funde La nieve.
y solo qneda ell reptil.
