1.-THE maine Sportsmen, while dis
counting the estimates made by indi-
viduals who report endless signs of
moose and deer in Maine woods this
summer, advances the opinion that
deer are, in all probability, as plenti-
full this year as they have ever been in
Maine in recent years" This informa-
tion will be acceptable to sportsmen
who contemplate visiting Names
matchless sporting grounds in search
of big game, the coming fall..... The
Portland Press says: 'The dog fish,
which have bothered the draggers and
trawlers all summer, are gradually
disappearing and in short time will
have left these waters for the season.
The draggers. are beginning to go out
and large catches of mackerel will soon
be expected. Large herring are being
caught off the shore by the METERS, and
this business promises we'll for the fall.
There is large market for good sized
herring in the south and west where
they are relished as an article of food.
They are salted for this trade. The
smaller herring are canned in Portland
and Boothbay and the surplus sold for
bait"

To all Whom it May Concern.

AT the annual town meeting held in Mon
roe 1t was almost unanimously voted that
the sale of intoxicating drinks should be
stopped in town. The town chose COM
mittee to enforce the same, and as certain
parties are making arrangements to sell in
toxicating drinks in town during the COM
ing fair, the committee think they should
know that they are determined that the vote
of the town shall be respected and that all
offenders will be prosecuted to the fullest
extent of the law; and if they take the
risk they must not find fault with the action
of the committee. FL. r. DAWSON,
Chairman of Committee.

Readers of The journal must have noticed
the claims made for the Peerless Separator
in these columns, and surely every dairyman
will wish to investigate the same for him

cow. We would suggest that those interest
ed write at once to the Company for COM
plete information.
