of the gubcrnatorial chair. The great
err number of these distinguished gem
tlcmcn were elected to the office by
vote of the people or legislature, but
few were elevated to that exalted
station by virtue of their incumbency
Of the office of president of the Senate.
Although 50 odd years have passed
since William King was inaugurateu
the first Governor of Maine, there are
row living eight former chief eXecu-
tivcs. Some of them have rounded out
| more than their allotted three-sco
years and-tcn of life and yet are still
| actively engaged in the pursuit of bust
| ness with all the energy of strong
and vigorous old age; while the others
are in the prime of manhood, rugged
and strong, leaders in every movement
that tends to the advancement and
progress of the state: loyal and devoted
| to her interests and true to the land OF
| their birth.
In the order of service, the surviving
occupants of the executive chair OF
Maine are as follows: Joshua l.. Cham
| berlain, Sidney Pcrham, Scldcn Common,
| AlonZo Garcelon. Frederick Roble,
| Edwin c. Burleigh Henry i. Cleaves,
and LlcWcllyn Powers. John F. Hill
the present incumbent of this high office
is also an ex-governor, having already
served one term as such, but he should
moi yet be classcd in that category, as
he still performs the duties of the chlef
magistIacy with promptness and due
regard for the laws under which he is
acting
Governor John T. Hill was first elect
ed in 1900, was again elected in l9O2'
and is now we'll into his second term.
Governor Hill was born in Eliot, York
county. Oct. %, 1853, the son of William
and Miriam Neightom Hill. He was
educated at South Berwick Academy
and the Putnam school, NeWburyport,
Mass. and graduated at the Maine
| Medical school, Brunswick, completing
his studies at the Long Island College
hospital, Brooklyn, N. Y. After leaV-
ing college he practiced medicine 1or
year in Boothbay Harbor, but very soon
decided to devote his life to a business
career. In 1879 he came to Augusta,
and entered into partnership with the
late Hon. p. O. Vickery, under the frrn
name of Vickery & Hill. This firm SUBJ
| sequently became a corporation ana Is
now one of the largest and most sue
| cessful publishing houses in the couh-
try. To Governor Hills keen busl-
ness sagacity, sound Judgment ana
conscientious devotion to duty may be
attributed the remarkable success
which this company has achieved IN
the publishing world. Governor Hill
! represented Augusta in the House OF
! Representatives in the Legislatures Oh

is willing to ruin his farm will leave

would save must surely destroy. In
small plots apply salt freely and kill it,
and on larger areas cultivation is the
only course to follow. 1t must be de-

which had been suggested by the board
of selectmen of Litchfield began at the
Wales town line. and from there ran
to Litchlicld Corner, and Litchficld
Plains, and then to Richmond. The
commissioners went over the ground
and decided that it would be for the
benefit OF large number of people if
the road came to Gardiner and the
road was so designated. The only diff
ference between the designated road
and the road suggested by the select
men is that after leaving Litchfield
Plains. instead of going to Richmond,
it will come to Gardiner by way of the
Pond road so-called.
