There is one thing young men should
remember: if they contract good habits
when young they will be of the greatest
assistance to them in middle age. Good
habits are as strong as bad habits.
Everything worth having in this life

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

LFrom the New York Press.1
Marriage is such a success because it
saves a woman from herself.
The one charming thing a bout love is
the fact that it never has any excuse
for itself.
If there wasn't any such thing as
love, the littlest angel in heaven could
get the whiphand of the devil.
Flirting is a good deal like squirrel
hunting; you don't get much game, but
it's mighty good exercise.
i
When a woman marries a man be-
cause she pitieS him other folks are apt
to pity him because she marries him.
A man has no idea what an magma
ton his wife has till he sees how many
different ways she can get up of ar
ranging the parlor furniture.

local Matters.
IN AUGUSTUS FAVOR.


The decision Of the referees in the
Coombs' Mill-Manchester road case
has been made, and it is in favor OF
Augusta. They say that the road snai
not be built from the Manchester line
to Coombs' Mills in Augusta, as was
decreed in 1895 by the county commas
sioners and since fought so mar
by Augusta. 1t was a source OIL
great qualification to City soiici'ol
Thomas Leigh. Tuesday. when ne was
informed OF the decision, for ne mas
been conducting the case for the Guy
during the past two years. and II was
clear victory for him in hard' we'll
managed law suit.
The decision has not been 1orihaiis
handed up to Judge Emery OF the su-
preme bench, but the contents OF tne
document containing the findings OF the
court on the matter were mace pupic
by the referees, Tuesday.
This involved the sum of about $5OOe
mr. more to be expended by Augusta in
building a road from Coombs Mills
along the bank and across Bond brook
four times to a point in Manchester to
accommodate certain part of that
town. The road was petitioned for. the
last time in 1898. and at the time
great many Of the Augusta citizens
signed it under a great misapprehen-
sion. The petition was heard in 1898
by the commissioners and the road was
ordered built. The city of Augusta
kept postponing the time of building
and in 1898 petitioned the county COM
missioners to discontinue the road. A
long hearing was held, but the commits
sioners refused to change the decision
of the former board to have it built.
going largely on the petition that had
been presented them in the first place.
The city appealed to the supreme
court and three referees We're appoint
ed to decide the case. These referees
were C. F. Johnson of Waterville. Hon.
Frederick Danforth of Gardiner, and j.
w. Bassett of Winslow. A visit was
made to the route in August and a
hearing was held in September. The
result is that they have discontinued
the road and Augusta is free of ex-
pending the $4,000. Even in Augusta
there was a diversity of opinion as to
whether the road should be built, but
the referees have decided all.
