pleasant and successful term, taught by

LIBERTY.
Mary Pullen, wife of Alfred Pullen
of Palermo, was before Trial Justice j. O.
johnson, on complaint of H. F. Foy, first
selectman of Palermo, for setting fire to the
house in which they lived and which be-
longed to the town. The justice finding
probable cause to believe that she was
guilty bound her over to await the action of
the grand jury at the January term of court,
and she being unable to procure the proper
bond was committed to the county Jail at
Belfast. The members of the grange, as
sisted by the entire people of the village,
held sociable at G. A. R. Hall last Satur-
day evening for the benefit of Rev. f. ].
Hatch of Montville, whose wife is very sick
and they have "a large family of small chill
dren dependent upon neighbOrS for care.
The sum of sol was realized, which is hoped
will help little in turning sadness into
gladness. The annual meeting of the
Liberty & Belfast Telephone Co. was held
in Crockett's Hall Saturday afternoon, Nov.
odd, and officers were elected as follows:
President and superintendent, J. J. Walker,
| Liberty; vice president, Eben Cobb, Sears
mont; board of directors, John f. Vickery,
Morrill,; Voiney Thompson, Montville; V.
| A. Simmons, Searsmont; &. B. Dyer, Sears
mont; j. 0. johnson, Liberty. The secre-
| tary gave very favorable report. The
| company was compelled to put up double
| wire from Belfast, but the resources were
enough to meet all liabilities, which we
| think is a good showing. The increase
of business is about $500 per year. Voted
to pay the secretary salary of SIS and ex-
penses while from home on telephone bust
! ness to extend the line to Netherlands Cor
! her and Halldale in Montville; and to give
private subscribers night service, if pract-
| cable.
