Hon. Louis C. Stearns,
MR. IITTLEeIsLo,s MeE1INes,


Although it had been announced that
Hon. Charles Z. Littlefield would speak
in Oxford County during the week be-
ginning Aug. 25th, the announcement
was made only few days since that his
dates would be in the present week. He
will speak at South Paris Tuesday even
ing, Aug. 10, at Bethel Wednesday even
ing, and at Fryeburg Thursday evening.
The people are sure to come out in good
numbers to hear him at each place. He
is not prophet without honor in his
own district. The recent conference of
Republican committee men and others
showed that there was no speaker who
will address an audience in Maine during
this campaign, who was so much desired
as our own representative, Mr.. Little
field, and if he could have been sent to
every place large enough to warrant
holding meeting, it would have given
general satisfaction. Mr.. Littlefeld's
ability as speaker is well known, and
his constituents are proud of him in all
respects. And If he has at times differed
on some measure with the majority of
the party, the Republicans of the Second
Maine District are glad TO know that
they have representative who is able
TO think for himself, and who has the
backbone to stand by his honest con-
victions. Let everybody who can hear
him speak.

proved Intellectual and she was growing
worse every hour. Her parents were
sure she would die. She had become so

suit was effected. Within eight hours
she was feeling much better; inside OF
three days she was upon her feet and at
the end of one week was entirely well"
