In the Sweet Harvest Time.
| The toll of summers over-the harves
time is sweet;
The music O. the fiddle to the fiddler:
pattin feet;
An Love is at the gate there, wher,
the lights an shadows meet.
An he's kissin' of his sweetheart il
the Twilight.
The roads'n soon be frosty where We
~, drive the teams to town;
The boys'll soon be shakin' of the juicy
apples down,
An Lowell find the sweet girls, an be
swingin of EN- roun-,
An kissin' of his sweetheart in the
Twilight.
An soon well hang the mistletoe-by
happy lovers blest.
An feel the heart a-thrillin like bird
song in the breast;
An Lowell go the rounds then-klSS the
one he loves best
He'll be kissin of his sweetheart in the
Twilight.

Lewiston expects it's new theatre tc
open in u month.
Lost II train yet, on account of the
change to the winter schedule?
1t is evident that executive clemency
is not going to be hurried in the case
of convicted liquor sellers.
Before the teams disband Waterville
and Fairfield should engage the Boston
and Pittsburg aggregations for next
season.
Bath closes it's schools, today, and
sends all of its youngsters up to the
Topsham fair.
No longer any need of the story that
the hunter was freed by the moose and
had to shoot in self-defense.
While Anna Eva Fay is in Portland
she should give out a few pointers on
the coming Maine college football
games.
This is the season when "the autumn
leaves are falling, falling everywhere;
they are falling through the atmosphere
and likewise through the air.
The deer are now safe nowhere eX-
cept in Sagadahoc county and in GER
tain Hancock towns where it is per-
petual close time.
The Bangor authorities are trying to
fird who telephoned around and had the
no school, signals sounded, Monday.
1t was done as Joke and it worked
most successfully.
The date of the fraternity limitations
at Bowdoin is Friday October %, and
not October 16, as has been stated in
some of the newspapers.
"Aroostook county yields the palm to
Kennebec tor big potatoes. "-kennebec
Journal. Oh, we don't know about
that. This county has produced one or
two tubers which will weigh four
pounds each this season, and large
number that weigh over three pounds
each. Can the Journal beat this? If
so, then Kennebec county is in the lead
for big potatoes.--Aroostook Republic
can.
Well, we have not seen any Kennebec
potatoes, this fall, which tipped, the
scales at four pounds but one Nassal-
boro field yielded three whose COM
bined weight was 8 pounds and 4
ounces. If Aroostook can beat this it
should have sent it's prize tubers along
and won the $25 fur overcoat Which
went to the owner of this Vassalboro
farm.
Here is the way a correspondent for
an outside paper sums up the I<enne-
bee situation: THE general belief
seems to be that Kennebec county will
be as dry as bone for the remainder
of Sheriff Hams term. That gentle
man has kept his every promise and the
dealers will take no chances whatso-
ever with him. The county attorney
has kept his promise to give the deal
ClS dlI that HIS pIONl dHOIueu. Inc
judge of the court had no promise to
redeem-but he has shown no favor in
passing sentences upon convicted deal
ers in intoxicants."
The men that investigate suspected
cases of incendiarism for the insur-
ance department occasionally run
across a bit of humor to enliven the
grind of their work. At North Belfast
the other day one of the neighbors was
doing the talking: Why" said he,
there want 10 more need 'ov them
buildin's burnin' than nuthn' at all.
Why. sir, | he'd two hundred gallons
ov water in my system then--yes, sir,
two hundred gallons right in my sys-
tenn. But the hand-tub they brought
up here leaked and they couldn't do
nuthin with it. And then there's them
smallpox suspects that they've gone to
work an canteened. l don't know
