Special Agent Z. B. Norton of Farm
ington was here last week and establish

from South Paris coming through this
village, thence east through the White
more District into West Buckfield, thence
over Woodbury. Hill and north to Horatio
Chambers, thence south through the
Forbes District, returning by way Of
this village to South Paris. A petition
has since been circulated and generally
signed by patrons of the route asking
the transfer of the starting point from
the South Paris to the Paris Hill
post Office, as large majority of the
patrons reside east and north of
Paris Hill. This petition is in no sense
intended to kill the route and will be
put in with the express understanding
that it asks for transfer Of the starting
point and nothing more.

sold after the play, and something like
fifteen dollars was realized for the bene-
tit of tue library. The young people
who got up the affair took hold of it
very enthusiastically, and are de-
serving of much credit.
