How many people ever saw the
cigars they are smoking in the process
of manufacture? Why not do il, as
right here in this city are cigar manu-
facturies, which. though not on as large
4 scale as some, are places where the
cigars are manufactured in the same
manner as in the large factories?
1t is interesting to see the process of
manufacture from the leaf that comes
in The bundles, to the turning out of
the gracefully formed and stamped
cigar. that is sweet unto the taste of
the smoker. 1t starts in a form that Is
almost repulsive-looking, and it comes
out in form 50 very nice looking that
even the abstainer from the weed is
tempted to try it and see if it is as
good as it looks.
In order to run a cigar mandatory
one must first pay a United States tax
of So for the license. This section of
the country comes under the head of
the district of New Hampshire. Then
there is another requisite that every
manufacturer must have on hand be-
| fore he can sell the cigars This is the
little sheet of revenue stamps. for
since the war with Spain it has cost
| So so in revenue stamps for every thou
sand cigars. where it was but So for
meriy. This is an advance payment
| the same as the purchase of postage
stamps. These two things on hand,
| the next is TO secure the tobacco. then
| to know how to treat it, and finally to
know how to roll it into cigars.
\ Journal reporter passed few
pleasant minutes. the other afternoon,
in the factory of Clements e Hollen-
| baugh on Water street. Here is where
| the two gentlemen make up the cigars
that are becoming so popular among
| the Kennebec smokers: the Red
| Spider" the Pine Tree Girl and the
| Havana Whip" The two former
brands are 10 cent cigars. while the lat
| ter is a mild fve-center.
Mr.. Hollenbaugh was discovered sit

leaves in his lap picking them apart
| and picking off the stems. He explain

| for the filler and was from Cuba. He
showed the Journal a bundle about two
| feet in height width and length, and
| said it cost $3.50 for a bundle of that
| sort though it would make a great
many cigars. This tobacco comes in
little bundles of about a pound each.
THE tobacco is picked on damp
day and the leaves are taken from
the stock. These leaves are placed to-
gether as you see them, and finally one
tied about the little bundle. 1t is then
ready to be stored away and to be used
for shipment"

suggested the reporter.
oh. they used to have a certain
amount of trouble in the way, but the
growers have got that to perfection.
A tobacco to be good should be at least
two years old and it ought to have

The Republican Caucus.

The Delaware township republican
caucus was held last Friday evening in
the Court House. The interest in
the proceedings was manifest by the
large crowd present which filled the
court room to its utmost capacity.
NJ. F. LIE Roy acted as chairman and
called the meeting to order. The first
business was the choosing of a delegate
at large to represent Delaware town
ship in the county convention. Two
delegates, L. j. CAFES and j. b. Ruther-
ford, aspired to this honor. ID. ii.
Young arose, and said in order that
there should be no misunderstanding
he wished to state that in case Mr..
Gates was chosen he would cast his vote
for Mr.. Baker for representative. w.
ii. Norris said in addition to what Mr..
Young had said that in case MIR. Ruth.
erford was the choice of the caucus, he
would casthis vote for Mr.. Durham.
The choice was made by rising vote
which showed rs votes for Gates and
$50 for Rutherford.
Seth Brown was chosen by ACCLAIM.
alton as candidate for the office OF
TOW nship trustee and Frank Sias was
unanimously chosen township COM
mitteeman for the ensuing year.
The caucus then adjourned and the
caucuses of the various voting precincs
of the township assembled in different
parts of the building.
Delaware township outside Manches-
ter, End ward Manchester, and Bird
ward, Manchester, selected delegates
to the county convention who would
support the candidacy of G. A. Dun
ham for representative. In the first
ward honors were not SO easy. A
spirited contest arose over the selection
of delegates and the "bloody first"
treated the onlookers to its proverbial
scrap. The Baker and Durham fac
lions were about equally divided. The
ward is entitled to six delegates and
the caucus proceeded to present candi-
dates for selection in separate order.
Two names were placed in nomination
for the first delegate, B. w. Jewel, who
represented the Baker contingent and
G. E. Smith, supporter of Mr.. Dun.
ham. The result of the count was 81
to 32 in favor of Mr.. Jewel. In like
manner j. w. Barker was chosen in
preference to A. A. Morse. At this
juncture the point was raised that there
were parties supporting the Baker can.
didates who had no lawful right to
a vote and in consequence of this the
supporters of Mr.. Durham withdrew
and selected delegates to go before the
county convention and ask to be seat
ed as the regular delegates.
The delegates chosen by the regular
caucus were; j. w. Barker, b. W.
Jewel, Jesse Barker, w. A. Abbott, j
II. Barnes and A. King.
The boiling caucus selected the fol
lowing delegates; G. E. Smith, A. SET.
strom, Fred Durey, d. H. Finch, A. L.
Beardslee and Geo. Dubois.
At the convention held on the day
following, the delegates chosen at the
Young or Baker caucus were thrown
overheard and those selected at the
boilers or Durham caucus were admit
ted to seats in the convention with al
the rights and privileges of duly elected
delegates.
