A County PaDer,

We mentioned the fact few DAYS ago
to newspaper man of another county
In Maine, that THE REPORTER claims to
be county paper in distinction from
the usual village or local paper. This
gentleman conceded the fact. He could
readily realize that our point was well
established, from the REPORTERS loca-
tion at the shire town, and also the most
CENTRAL and most importanT town in
many ways In the county.
Indeed, the fact cannot be controvert-
ed. The character of tie contents of
our paper is proof positive in this direc-
ton. Last week we published II COL
umns of news relating to Somerset
towns, all but about 2 columns of which
was original matter, never before In
print. This included correspondence
from % Somerset towns and localities
Nor was that week exceptional. The
week before, September IA, there were
Is full columns of Somerset county
itduiHk9 correspondence
26 towns and localities In the county.
Then again, the REPORTER contains the
reports of business of the courts, Su.
preme, Probate and County Commits.
sioners, also legal advertisements Of
courts, generally, and bankruptcy no.
tees, foreclosures of real estate, etc
The business interests of Somerset towns
are also well canvassed, and information
about summer resorts and those for
hunting and trouting given to the public.
Thus, Somerset people IL they care at
all for the news of the county, little and
large, can do no better than to become
subscribers to the SOMERSET REPORTER.
Try 1t and see il we are not correct In
our premises.

The Maine Central Presidency.

The Maine Central Presidency.
Hon. Frank A. Wilson, who has held
the important position of president, of
the Maine Central Railroad Company for
six years past, has made public his de-
cision TO decline a reelection at the
annual meeting to be held in October.
He states that the action is purely per.
sonal.
There is some speculation in regard to
the succession to that office. The name
of Hon. j. II. Manley has been mention
ed for the place but the general opinion
seems to be that the Boston & Maine
il tluenee, which of course predominates
In the matter, is 10 favor of more closely
consolidating the management of, the
two companies and that Lucius futile,
the president of the Boston 81 Maine,
will be elected president of the Maine

In regard to the connection of the two
roads, he is quoted as saying:
1.-THE ownership Of majority of stock
by the Boston & Maine railroad, is 80
far as the minority holders is concerned,
very favorable factor of their holdings.
This ownership is giving such favorable
traffic arrangements as could hardly be
hoped for If the Boston & Maine, in
making large concessions. was not at The
same time largely benefiting Itself
SIN all the efforts that the Maine Cen
trail has been making for the develop
ment of the business OF the State of
Maine by encouraging corporations and
individuals in extending old business
enterprises and inaugurating new ones,
the strong hand of the Boston & Maine
has always been felt for aiding all for
ward movements.
The management of that road seems
| to fully appreciate the fact that its own
future development must be largely in
the territory of the State of Maine.
I'm my opinion TODAY, the relations of
these two large corporations is an
element of strength and not Of weakness

For an organization, playing at popular

trained. and was considerably larger than
that OF the Packard opera Company, seen
here last summer.
The principals all gave satisfaction.
Miss Fannie Myers, as Eoccaccio, pre-
sented a splendid stage presence, and her
voice was equal 90 the part. Eleanor
