Aaron n. Mason.

Aaron III. Mason died at Porter, Me.
Nov. Is, 1908, aged 10 years, month:
and 10 days. His sickness was short
but painful, and we believe he has gone
where "the wicked cease from troubling
and the weary are at rest" He was 8
farmer by occupation, and a veteran
school teacher, having taught about one
hundred terms of school and nearly a
many writing schools.
Commencing to gather knowledge by
the light of pitch torch in the old fire
place, also attending school at North
Parsonsfield and later at South Paris, be
fitted himself to teach at the age of q.
He was diligent and thorough in all his
studies, and so untiring in his efforts to
impart knowledge to others, that to-day
there are a large number of people who
can say, A. II. Mason taught me to
write.
He has served his town as selectman
and town clerk, and has supervised our
schools for nearly q years, and been a
justice of the peace for nearly half a
century.
He had large library of books among
which is an almanac for every since he
was born, June 80, 1924. He has been
a reader of the Oxford Democrat fol-
nearly thirty years.
His counsel was valued by all, and his
absence will be felt as much in the COM
munity as at the fireside of the home
where he has always lived with his son,
+. l.. Mason. He is survived by two
sons, one daughter and nine grandchil-
dren.

Everybody Register.

Ii may have been forgotten by some
that the legislature last winter passed a
caucus law requiring every voter to be
registered before he can vote in the eau
Gus of any political party. BY the last
section of this law it is made to apply
only to towns of over 1000 population,
so that the towns in Oxford County
where il is in effect are Norway, Paris
and Rumford.
Under this law any voter may enroll
himself as member of any political
party by filing a written declaration
with the town clerk, for which purpose
blanks are furnished. That is, all the
voter has to do is to get blank from the
town clerk and fill in his name, political
party, and such matter as may aid IN
identifying him, and leave this with the
town clerk. This will entitle him to
vote in the caucuses of that party, but
in no other, and he may not enroll as
member of any other party within siA
months.
In order to facilitate acomplete en-
rollment, the law provides that the town
committees of the several towns where
the law is in effect shall, on or before
Jan. ISL, ltOt, lic with INC IOWh SAVAn
list of the voters in their respective
towns who are believed TO be members
of their party. This will be sufficient to
entitle those voters to participate in eau
cuSes of that party, but it will dictate
no mans political action. For instance,
the Republican town committee might
have in the list which is submitted the
name of some man who preferred to act
with some other party. In such cast
he may file his own declaration as
Democrat, Prohibitionist, or member
of any other party that may exist, anc
this enrolment will take precedence
over that made by the committee, ano
he may act with the party of his choice
While the town committees will in du'
season attend to their duties under thu
law, and will not knowingly enter an,
names not belonging to their party, 1t Il
much to be preferred that voters shall
register their own party affiliations
The town clerks are provided with the
necessary blanks and books. So far The
enrolment. in Paris at least, has beer
very light. Ii would be we'll for ever!
