FROM BAR HARBOR,
The sway Bak" Ball-Local Politics
Interesting Statistics

Interesting Statistics.
BAR HARBoR, Feb. Is, Especially The
annual "Way Bak" ball at the Casino
Tuesday evening was the most success
full and enjoyable that this weli-known
organization has ever given.
The hall was handsomely decorated.
The stage was made to represent barn
floor. In one corner hung whole
dressed hog. There was the hay-mow
with ladder leading to it. Partially
covered with hay was an old sleigh, while
harnesses hung about on pegs. There was
a coop which contained ducks and the
barn-yard effect was complete in every
detail.
The hall was crowded and the balconies
packed. About 200 couples took part In
the grand marcel.
The Invitations announced that "you
couldn't dance unless you wore your
way-bak close, and fully 400 people
must have been In costume. They as
SENT led in the roome below the hail to
remove their wraps, and marched up stairs
for the grand march. Shrieks of laugh
ter greeted their appearance, and the
spectators and dancers together were in a
roar till they got somewhat accustomed to
the outfits.
Many of the costumes were sublimely
ridiculous, while many, especially the
women's, were fine and handsome old
fashioned gowns.
The Casino orchestra of seven pieces
were rugged out in their old clothes, aud
presented a funny appearance.
Refresh ments of baked beans and
brown bread, doughnuts and coffee were
served.
The dancing was kept up with great
zeal till two o'clock.

Town politics is beginning to warm up,
on the street corners, in the stores and
wherever men congregate. The numerous
candidates for the different offices are
very busy these days, buttonholing voters
and setting forth their arguments. The
town report, which was issued last Sat-
urday, and which contains the warrant
for the town meeting, furnishes, as
usual, much material for argument.
The whole OF the first day of town
meeting will be occupied in eecting the
board of three selectmen. For first select
man there are four candidates, and it is
not very likely that there will be an
election on the first ballot. There are
three candidates for second selectman,
and as each man has quite large follow
ing, an election on the first ballot is i'm
probable.
For third selectman here are six capdi-
dates, and there is very little chance of
either of the men being elected on the
first ballot.
Toe candidates are as follows:
For first setectman-Jobn Z. Bunker,
jr., B. S. Higgins, W. 3. Higgins, Elihu
7. Hamor.
For second-Alonzo Higgins, Daniel
W. Mckay, Martin L. Lord, the labor
union candidate.
For third-A. V. Wilson, Wellington
Mcfarland, Harry NJ. Corners. Fred
Carter, labor union candidate, Frank E.
Walls, c. q. Hamor, civic league csndi-
date.
The annual report of the municipal Of
| ficers Of Eden contains 1856 pages and is
| interesting. 1t also contains the town

articles, and an estimate Of the amount

 But the Vanderbilt game IS no sure more than sewanee. Vanderbilt started badly, when Cumberland beat their team 60. They have however a score or " against Sewanees 23-O in the Alapama game. Vanderbilt then beat the Univer- sity of Mississippi Ss-0 and the University of Georgia by c big score. Since that time however, the Commodores have been playing only minor games but their form seems a decided improvement from their original game.

This has been Auburn's off season but since their vic- tory over the Georgia School of Technol- ogy, the Auburn boys are reported to have regained some of their lost spirit and although the odds are on Georgia, the Alabama boys may be able to crush the Athenians.
 The Alabama-Tennessee game in Bir- mingham is also one of todays contests of interest. Although terribly lacking in heavy material the University has put out this year one of the fastest little teams in the South. On every occasion they have given their larger opponents .plucky fight. and whenever they met a team anything like their size. it was usu- ally an Alabama victory.

 their contest with Sewanee have proved invincible. Clemson has had some

Wise buyers think not of what they pay, but of what they get for what they pay. Experience has taught them that writer is the best investment; that they can't get the same typewriter value else where for less money, for the same money or for any money. Therefore, the wise buyers buy the Remington, and the wis. dom of the wise buyers spreads con. stantiy to other buyers. who likewise be- come wise by experience.
 No wonder that the Remington Type writer holds the market; that 1t main. tains it's undisputed leadership over every other writing machine.
