Two more good bucks came into the
place Tuesday. They belonged TO Gill
man II. Penley, who, with two Others,
had been on a hunting trip TO Stoneham.
One of the bucks was large one, weigh
ing 2ll pounds. The same afternoon
six deer came down on the train and
went to Norway.
Four more deer from Stoneham
brought TO town last week. They be-
lopced one each to Herbert NJ. Tucker,
Ralph Sturtevant, Gerald Wing and
Robert Maxim. The one Wing shot was
a2OO-pouud buck with 9-point antlers-
one of the largest, if not the very largest,
that has been brought in this year.
Two deer which came down on the |
train Saturday were tagged with the
name of c. W. Shaw. One was large
buck which would weigh from $50 to
200. and the other smaller buck,
yearling. They came from West Bethel, |
and il is understood that they were shot
on Chapman Brook. This makes at
least eight deer which were brought to |
town last week.
Rev. W. W. Hooper preached to even
a larger audience than the Sunday pre-
ceding in New Hall Sunday afternoon.
His sermon was very interesting and
xEach appreciated by the large audience

Rev. c. z. Angel of Norway will preach |
in New Hall at 2:30 P. NJ. Rev. Mr.. |
Hooper will be here again Dec. 22d.
Robert Townsend, some years since a
resident of Paris, died at Wilton recent
". He was quite well known as the |
manufacturer of ''Townsend's salve,
and other home made remedies. He also /
had the reputation, whether correctly or
not can not now be told, of being the
originator of some of the most ingenious
of the current romanees which serve to
enliyen impromptu social gatherings.
For instance, to him is attributed the
tale of that severe drought when he had
10 drive his cattle three miles TO water,
and ferry across two streams on the
way, as well as other even more remark
able stories.
The population of the Jail reached
high water mark last week, when the
roll showed thirty-four present. Most
Of them are serving sentences for intoxi-
cation, and the large majority are from
Rumford Falls. One man who had been
fined a total of about twelve dollars ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court. As he is
unable to secure bondsmen, the pros
peet is that he will have TO stay here
until the March term. He is getting |
anxious to withdraw his appeal and take
the thirty days which he would have got
if he hadn't appealed, but there is no
way he can do it. As the cage" in the
Jail accommodates only twenty-four,
Sheriff Tucker is looking around for
some large hooks on which TO hang the
rest. One of the thirty-four went out
Saturday, and three more are coming |
from Rumford Falls Monday afternoon, |
which will make the number thirty-six. |
The ''schoolmarms" of. the Methodist
church outdid themselves in the supper |
which they set out Wednesday evening; |
indeed. their friends assured them that |
they did not know there were so
many good cooks among the number.
(Of course the schoolmarms did all the |
cOoking.) A large number did justice |
TO the supper. Later there was a pleas
nt.entertainment, comprising songs by
Mr.. Eaton, Miss Susie NJ. Wheeler, Miss
Ethel Ellis and Miss Mary A. McArdle,
and readings by Mrs. II. A. Morton, Mrs.
0rdway, and Mrs. E. Z. Chapman. The
fur opening which was feature OF
the programme consisted of the names
Of twenty animals in the form OF ana
grams, which the contestants were re-
quired to put into correct form within
