 Chris Dunphy and Jacob Mitche have returned from their hunting triT for which they started Saturday night If their stories are credible they had very successful hunt. returning load ed down with all sorts of game, chic among which were two nice coons Rabbits and squirrels they had il large numbers. This is the hunters report of their doings,- but somebody perhaps Dame Rumor, says that Val entine Bohl had an extra large orde for provisions for this section yester day morning. What this had to q, with the story of the huntsmen. the re porter confessed to his informant tha he did not perceive. Tine latter grim
 " smiled and replied, Ignorance bliss. sometimes.'
 St MichaeIs fair in Waterville at tracted another large audience las evening" The stage program was al excellent one and was enthusiastically, applauded by those present. A largt number. especially the young ladies afforded themselves of the opportunit, offered to hear, over a cup of tea. whI was in store for them in the future For 10 cents only one hears all abou his future in a few minutes Tn, stage program for this evening Is meritoriOus one. Dancing is one o the principal features of the fair | is said that the St Thomas Cadets will attend the fair i'll a body tonight ana Will make a stunning appearanc, garbed in their new sweaters of red and blue, the clubs colors. Ths | sweaters, which were made by tht Durham Hosiery company of Nauga | tuck. are of q neat and natty design. -"The Democrat has always taken
 q deep interest in our neighborhood,'
 said South Brooklyn man to q re porter of this paper today and hope it will keep it up until we get q few electric lights. We expected Perry Nor riS would remember us with q light oI two last year. but he didn't and whetl. CT the present administration will do | any better is something which time | alone can tell. Three lights would be | all We want for the present and con. | Sidering the number of people who | live there. to say nothing of the vast
 amount of public travel in that street, l see no reason why we should not 1 have them. l don't care about intro l l not wide of the mark when 1 say that l in no part of the town where lights 1 have been placed is there greater need | of them than in South Brooklyn. Sc
 far every dollar appropriated By the
 state and the town for permanent i'm. | provemonts upon the town roads has | been spent in the direction of Water | town, with the result that property
 has increased 23 or 30 per cent there
 the past few years. while it has noi advanced one cent down our way. AnG
 no wonder. Our n2ighbors have eX l cellent roads and a fair supply of cleo 1 tric lights, while for the next four ol | five months We shall have to reacf | our homes in utter darkness and ankle
 deep in SluSh and mud. We can 1Ool
 out from the mist and the gloom tha'
 hang over us at the electric light
 burning across the way in SimOnsville
 where the people do not pay any nor,
 taxes than We do. and wonder whP1
 will our day come. That is about al
 the consolation we've had thus far
 and 1 hope the time has come whel
 our patience is about to be rewarded
 with something that will repay us fo
 all the long years we have been kep
 in the hackCround.'' The electri
 light question is being agitated all owe town and many believe that the select
 men could not lay out a little none i to better advantage than in lghtin
 thickly settled neighbOrhoods in dit fcrent parts of the town.
