declines nomination, for which at this

last week we heard the Edison photograph
managed by William Thompson of North
Searsport, and it was the best talking and
singing machine we ever heard. Mr. Per-
ley Andrews is getting signers for singing
school at the Roberts schoolhouse. -. There
is talk now of free delivery route up the
turnpike and to Hatch's Corner, then north
to the Smith corner, then east by l. F.
Gould's, then take the upper road by James
H. Littlefeld's. 1t happens, the way the
routes are now, that about all of the
largest taxpayers in this section are left
out Perhaps one reason was, the houses
are farther apart where the largest farms
are. The highest taxpayer in town, with
several others close sec0nu, live on this
proposed new route, and we, with others,
want to see the route started There are
MANY reasons why we should be specially
favored For one thing, farm wages are
higher near by quarries, and there is more
need of daily market reports where the
most of the produce is shipped to Boston.
