LIBERTY. The article entitled "They
Bet on Death" that is going the rounds
relative to two aged citizens of this town is
perhaps true with few exceptions, which
are as follows: LIST, Tolman Young and
Judge Knowlton did not meet at the post
office last New Years day, nor any other day
for perhaps ten years. Mr.. Young's post
office is East Palermo, while Judge Knowl-
ton is blind and has not been to the post Of
fee here for long time. End, They were
not both born in the year, 1907. Judge
knowlton was born in 1908, and Mr.. Young
was two years younger. Sd, Mr.. Young
was not veteran of the civil war, nor did
he get pension from any source. The
veteran Curtis of Dixmont did not attend
Mr. Young's funeral, nor did Mr.. Young's
people know anything about Mr.. Curtis.
Tolman Young did not die on the 18th of
March, but on the 18th and Judged nowl-
ton was not stricken with paralysis in his
yard, and the matter of betting on death is a
dream OF some person troubled with night
mare. The only truth in the entire article
is that Tolman Young is dead, and an article
in relation to him was published in the
Rockland COurier-Gazette, last weeks issue.
and Judge Knowlton is very feeble and can
not live long. ....Frank P. Wilson, law stu
dent in the Office of Hon. Geo. E. johnson
at Belfast, has been engaged to deliver the
memorial address at this village Memorial
day.. BY reason of the heavy rain storm
there were no Easter services at the church
here Easter Sunday. Water is very good
thing in its place 1t is good for navigation
good to make our mills go, good to wash in,
and there are people in Maine who drink it :;
but we think that it must be looked upon as
an interlOper when we go into our cellars
and unexpectedly find ourselves UP to our
waists in the flood, as was the case in sew
eral instances here of late. It has also
washed our roads badly within the past
few days
STOCKTON SPRINGS. Mrs. Walter KIM
