The convention of last Wednesday
which placed in nomination Republican
candidates for the several county offices,
was remarkably unanimous body, all
its work being done by reclamation.
Nevertheless there was no lack of inter
est, but a wide-awake spirit was shown
which augurs well for the future of the
party in the county.
of the candidates named, the larger
portion are now filling the offices to
which they have now been renominated,
and the quality of the service which they
are giving is known of all men. The
new men named are John NJ. Philbrook
of Bethel, present chairman of the board
of County Commissioners, nominated
for Senator, +. p. Faunce of Oxford
nominated for County Commissioner,
and Edgar L. Flint of Hiram, nominal
ed for Sheriff. These are all men well
qualified for the respective positions,
and the entire ticket will command the
hearty support of the Republicans OF
oxford County.

Strawberries now find their way on to
the table, but there has been so little
sunshine to put the saccharine principle
into them as to need an extra dose of
sugar and cream.
Grass is about the only crop that is
making much advancement during this
cold wet weather. Herdsgrass is head
ing out and old fields are nearly ready
for the machine. That means busy
time for the farmers in the near future;
since there is hardly any hoeing done
yet.
Charles Durham and wife of West
Bethel visited at the Bennett Place last
Saturday, and returned home the fol-
lowing Monday. Charles was in the
army more than three years during the
civil war, was wounded in the leg while
engaged in his seventh battle, which
laid him up for about five months. After
getting his discharge from the army, he
entered the quartermaster's department,
operating in the southern states, the
most of the time in South Carolina,
for seven months. After the close of
the war he was gone two years on a
whaling voyage, visiting in the mean
time the Azores and Cape Verde Islands;
| then fished down the coast of Africa to
south latitude 80; re-crossed the Allan
tic to South America, thence home by
the way of the West India islands. Dur
ing the trip they captured eleven
whales, not man was lost, nor did they
meet with any serious accident. Soon
after returning home, Charles Durham

although unable to do any hard labor.

Perham at the Pond, who replied with a

been appropriate for such an occasion,

Chas. B. Brooks was married last week
as reported, gave a reception the next
day evening, and is now settled down
to double life as it were. Mr.. Brooks is
somewhat advanced in years, having
seen nearly three-score and fifteen wears
and has great-grandchildren several
years old; but it seemed necessary to
take such step since his daughter, who
has kept house for him ever since his
first wife died, is in feeble health, and
no longer able to do his work. Hence
our congratulations, Mr.. and Mrs.
Brooks.
