mo hard coal in sight" is the reply
that comes over the wire TO customers
from the coal dealers in town. Some
are burning soft coal, of which small
quantity has been received. Others are
burning wood, and everybody is merely
getting along" 1t is safe to say that
there is very little coal in town, in any
body's possession. Though the Port
land dealers had promised some to the
dealers here, they are unable to supply
it, and there is at present no definite
prospect of securing more anthracite.
But hope springs eternal in the human
breast. II
A man who was recently discharged
from Jail, after serving q sentence for
intoxication, remarked to Sheriff Tucker
as he left, well, I'll be back with you
again pretty soon" Sure enough it was
only four or five days before Deputy
Sheriff Elliott of Rumford Falls came
down on the train with the bibulous
boarder in charge. But he didn't stop
here, going 70 Auburn instead. He had
missed his calculation, and instead of
getting a loafing sentence here during
the cold weather, he was sent to Auburn
work Jail for ninety days. As he is
one of those constitutionally tired men,
in Jail or out, he was not particularly
pleased with the turn of events.
