Most cities now have one session and
the old way.
In some sections farmers are having
to pay 40 or 40 cents for apple barrels.
and even at those prices few are to be
obtained.
Down in Whiting in Washington
county, three farmers have secured 400
pounds of wild honey, this fall.
The Biddeford Journal suggests that
it would be a good plan for the Maine
newspapers to print portraits of I'M
fortunate victims of thought it was Il
deer and Thought it was a bear acct
dents, so that those who seldom have
an opportunity to get into the woods
Will have some idea of what deer and
bears look like.
There is one solitary young man in
the entering class at the Pressure Isle
Normal school and Il young women.
All hail from Arocstook towns.
A university club is proposed for
Bath, it's membership to be limited to
the college graduates of the city. Port
land has had such Il club for many
years.
The melodious and pleasing I'll
Trovatore" is suggested as the opera
to be given in concert form at the 1901
Festival. Some have proposed Aida"
but most regard this as too difficult
and as being less attractive in tuneful
melodies.
One sportsman" comes home with
the story that a large woodcock becom-
ing confused, of it's own free will had
flown into the game bag of the gunner
and had been captured alive. From
MachiaS comes the report of five birds
secured at one shot, a good record for
the first of the season. Ellis NJ. Smith
one OF the best-knoWn duck shooters liz
the State and Il famous shot, went out
duck hunting Oh Friday afternoon and
had proceeded but a short distance
sitting on Il rock. While his younger
companion was watching him through
the glass, this veteran sportsman crept
around to a good position and killed
them all at a single shot.
+. E. Schoppee of Rogue Bluffs, went
out and shot two deer, Tuesday morn
ing, and had the game at home before
dinner time. Mr.. Schoppee is 10 years
old and makes the younger nimrods
down that way feel that they need
more experience in hunting before they
can beat him.
The Watervile Mail suggests that the
citizens of that city get together and
arrange for IL high class entertainment
course such as Augusta is to have. this
winter. 1t will be Il lot better, this
winter, ut least, for Waterville people
to avail themselves Of the splendid
course which Augusta is to have. The
Suzanne Adams concert this evening,
is something that q great number of
Waterville people cannot afford to miss
and do not propose to miss.
Two illustrations of the abuse of the
trustee process We're given The Record
last night. The same man was the
victim of both. Il hard working man
who has a family to support on a
small income. One bin was originally
So. When the trustee sharks had got
through with it and had finally forced
the man to settle it had been fatted up
to $1575. The other bill was originally
81 and when this was finally settled it
amounted to $s75. Here was $3.50
that this man had to pay for s. that
he owed. If that isn't in the same
class with highway robbery how is it
to be classified And such instances
are by no means uncommon.-Bidde-
ford Record.
The trustee process unquestionably
works hardship in many cases and this
was evidently one of them. but one
cannot escape the conclusion that this
man could have saved $2G.50 very easily
by paying the S. in the first place.
