County Affairs.

The board of County Commissioners
was in session at the Court House, Nor
day and Tuesday.
Aside from passing on some accounts
the principal business was the reorgan-
iz4tion of five plantations the population
of which is 200 or more. The law,
which has not always been observed,
provides that where the population of
plantations reach 200 or more they shall
be organized for election, school and
taxation purposes so that in their cor
porate capacity they assess their own
taxes, build their own roads and expend
their own school money. The panta-
tions 10 Somerset just organized under
this provision of law are; Moose River,
Jackmau, Brighton, Caratunk and
Lexington.
John Calvin Stevens Of Portland,
architect, was in town, Monday, and
looked over the court house with view
of submitting plans for the propose
extension or reconstruction.

ENTERED AS SECOND GLASS MAIL MATTER
To Be Thankful For.

What have we to be glad of and thanE-
full for on this the Thanksgiving Day of
1903?
We cannot enumerate everything but
can many things without much in way
of effort to concentrate thought upon
the problem.
First we have peace, prosperity and
plenty throughout our great nation.
Capital and labor are employed. There
is no great epidemic or plague In any
part OF our land. While there are some
limited areas even in our own state
where epdemics prevail that condition
is not general and the dread diseases
have not the usual percentage of fatal
tiles.
In our own county and community
business prosperity prevails. There has
been employment for all who wished IL
at reasonable compensation. Crops in
general have been good and command
ready sale at fair rates and the prospect
for business the coming winter is fully
up to that of average years. Sickness,
casualties. want, sorrow and unEappiness
are exceptional.
There is a better recognition of. tht
virtue OF law and observance of the
same in our state than in former years
to the marked benefit of decorum ii
many towns and cities and decrease OF
the population In jails. Surely this is
cause for thanksgiving.
In cur own town our industries are
generally in full operation, our people
employed, the necessaries and the CON-
forts Of life are in abundance. Even the
luxuries of life were never more general
ly distributed among our people than al
the present time. The town is growing
It's business interests increasing, oui
people thrifty and enjoying life and Its
business, pleasures and blessings. Tc
be sure there are cases OF restitution
and suffering but our people, individual
ly, or by organizations, or the town In
Its corporate capacity, stand ready to
mitigate these conditions as far as pos
sible. We recognize the kindly disposi-
tion of our people to extend the friendly
hand to distress as a virtue for which WI
may we'll rejoice.
Our advantages many times outweigh
our disadvantages, therefore we have
ample cause for thanksgiving to the
great and good Father, that we have
such grand heritage with so many OF
the blessings of an enlightened Christian
country.
The Somerset reporter., 1903-11-26
Joseph q. Moore.

The death of Joseph G. Moore in ca
naan village, last Thursday, Nov. 10.
1903, brought to close remarkably
long life and one which has such con-
Meeting circumstances rs to make it
worthy Of note. Mr.. Moore was born in
Sidney, Me, June 2, 1910. He was mar
ried to Emily Crowell 81 years ago.
Mrs. Moore, who survives her husband
Mt the home in Canaan, was born In
oakland, Me-, Nov. l, 1910 We doubt
il this record can be equalled anywhere
near. There are three children of the
family of Mr.. and Mrs. Moore: Mrs.
Augusta +. Holt, who with her husband,
has tenderly cared foI the aged parents
Mrs. Angelina Flint, Lexington, Mass,
and Eugene r. Moore of Skowhegan.
All of the 67 years Of their married life
Mr.. and Mrs. Moore resided in Canaan,
where they have followed the business
of farming. While Mr.. Moore has been
in failing health for some time he was not
confined to his bed. He was up even to
the day of his death.
The funeral service, under charge of
Scott Lord, was held at the home in
Canaan on Saturday afternoon, Nov. d,
Rev. l.. w. COons of Pittsfield offieiated.
Interment was in the village cemetery.
The Somerset reporter., 1903-11-26
DinsmOre-EhnrCh.

AT four o'clock on Monday afternoon,
November twenty-three, occurred the
wedding of Mr.. Fred l.. Dinsmore and
Miss Charlotte Church at the Unver-
sali9t parsonage on Forest street, Pitts
field. Rev. l.. w. Coons performed the
marriage ceremony, using the ring in
the service. After a brief wedding trip
to Dexter and other places Mr.. and Mrs.
Dinsmore will return to Pittsield, where
they will reside.
These young people have a great many
friends In Canaan and Pitt, field and all
will unite in extending heartiest COZ
CALCULATIONS.
The Somerset reporter., 1903-11-26

The Eagle, the emblem of liberty, is
in the ascendency upon some, perhaps
most days in the year. This is more
evidently the case on Independence Day,
the glorious Fourth of July, when pa
triotic impulses stir every loyal heart,
But another bird has for many years at
tracted greater attention upon the fam
lily day of the Nation, the annual
Thanksgiving Day so extensively OBJ
served in every part of our great and
growing country. The Turkey for the
time being the center of attraction in
millions of homes in our land. He is
the emblem of union of families, of
good cheer, intercourse among friends,
home pleasures and happiness. The
Eagle, the proud emblem of Liberty and
Union, is for the time relegated to a
secondary place. He can stand it. Pat
riotism loses nothing by reasonable at
tention to family festivities and cultiya-
ton of home pleasures.

Thursday Nights Fire

To be awakened from sound sleep
by the smell Of smoke and upon looking
out the window discover your buildinge
In flames must be severe test TO the
coolest head, yet that is just the ex-
perence Mr.. and Mrs f. F. Fairbrother
underwent on Thursday night Of last
week, or to be more precise Friday
morning Just before one O'Clock. Upon
making the discovery Mr.. Fairbrother
rushed to the front door clad only IN his
night shirt and gave the alarm, but the
GOODNESS of the air was a reminder that
to place his health in jeopardy was mos;
unwise and he quickly rushed back to
don his clothes while his eyes rested
upon the devouring fumes getting in
their work. Seconds no doubt seemed
minutes and minutes hours, but finally
getting his clothes on ne again rushed
been aroused; yet it must have been
nearly twenty minutes after the dis
covery before the fire alarm from IS was
rung in and perhaps another twenty
minutes before the fire department
reached the scene.
Most fortunately the fire caught at
the farthest point from the house, at the
extreme northeast end of his stable,
giving friends much needed time to safe
ly remove the contents of the house
from danger as the buildings seemed
doomed at first. Aud right well and
carefully did willing hands do the work
packing the choice cut glass and orna-
ments, fine china and brc-a-brac SO
nicely that none of it suffered from the
quick service.
At the time the department reached
the scene the stable was almost thing
of the past and the ell was ablaze. By
quick and effective work the blaze was
stopped here, but not until the ell was
nearly ruined. The damage in the
main part of The house was from smoke
only
The total damage is estimated about
$1400 and was well covered by insur-
anee.
The cause seems shreuded In mystery
and while many there are who are In.
duced to think it was the work of an in
cendiary, Mr.. Fairbrother seems loatht
to accept that theory, although finds
himself at loss to account for it salts
factorily in any other manner,
