The most of the harvest is past, and
judging from the appearance of the hill
tops this Thursday morning one would
naturally infer that the summer is ended.
There are some apples to harvest yet,
and the potato harvest in some places
was rather a rotten one, some of our
neighbors leaving nearly one-half of
theirs on the field.
The other day young man who was
stopping here for short time went out
with his gun and few hours later on
came in with four cartridges and gray
squirrel; thus considering himself a sort
of modern Nimrod. The next day being
lowery another man went out and in due
time returned with the same number of
cartridges and two rabbits; thus prov
ing himself somewhat greater Nmrod
than the other fellow. The following
morning two cOons, not fully grown, but
fat and full of fight, were found trapped
in the cornfield; so that for short time
we had plenty of wild meat; yet no
one suggested the idea of eating any of
it raw.
Some one has said that it is bad
wind which blows no good to any one,
and it may be correct; the recent cold
weather has had one good effect to say
the least; it has cleaned out the horn
flies so that they no longer torment the
cattle, and let us hope they never will
again.
1t is quite evident that Robert Nor
gan believes in getting the cage ready
before catching the bird to put in it.
He already has his cage we'll under way
and his eye on the bird with a good
prospect that she will soon be captured.
Our road commissioner, George Cole,
has done good thing on some of our
roads, but there is one thing more he
ought to do, and that is to cut two or
three miles more of bushes before winter
sets in. That is something that is much
neglected, not only in this town, but
everywhere l have travelled during the
past season.
Since writing about catching wild
game, another species Of animals has
been found in the trap and will be
dressed off for the oil he contains, al
though the meat is generally considered
too strong to be palatable.

What Shall We Vote For?

Representative F. Ii. Gillett, of Mas
sachusettS, in opening the campaign in
that state, emphasized the necessity of
a full Republican vote this year, not
alone because it might be needed to
elect Roosevelt and Republican House
of Representatives, but in order to more
firmly than ever entrench the Repub-
lican party in power, with view to a
continuation of that power for many
years to come.
The thought so emphasized by Repre-
sentative Gillett should be considered
by every voter. We shall not alone elect
Mr.. Roosevelt and with him Repub-
lican House next month, but we shall
show to the people of our own country
and to the people of the whole world
that we believe in the sort of admins
tration which the United States has en-
joyed now almost continuously for over
forty years. We shall show to the
world that we maintain most thoroughly
our belief in good, sound money; in q
protective tariff; in liberal pensions; in
a most wide and efficient postal service,
not only in our cities but in rural dis
tricts; in building the great Panama
canal; in furthering irrigation; in public
improvements throughout the entire
country; in upbuilding our great navy,
and in furthering by every means pos
sible the peace and progress and con-
tinued prosperity of our own people
with its beneticent influence upon the
nations of the whole world.
This, in brief, is what Republicanism
means, and this is what the people will
vote for in November when they elect
Theodore Roosevelt to succeed himself
and with him Republican House Of
Representatives.

East Sumner,

On Oct. 9th, occurred the annual fair
of the ladies of the Congregational So
ciety. 1t was held in the Grange Hall
afternoon and evening and was the most
successful socially and financially of any
ever held. The total receipts were
Ss4.75. Nearly all the various articles
for sale were disposed of and doubtless
more could have been sold if they had
been provided. While the fair was
under the auspices of the society great
credit is due to the many friends outside
who so cheerfully and generously aided
to make the fair the great success that it
was. Special thanks are due the ladies
from South Paris and Rumford Falls
present, for their generous gifts and
purchases. Sects and creeds had no
place but all seemed to aid and enjoy
the occasion. The exercises consisted
in part of songs and selections on the
graphophone but the browning feature
was the presentation of the comedy en-
titled the Secret Order of the Golden
Goose" The initiation of a candidate
into its mysteries was laughable indeed
and brought down the house. 1t must
be seen to be appreciated as no report
can do it justice. The whole affair was
peculiarly enjoyable and satisfactory.
We learn that the receipts from the oc-
casion are for repainting the church
another season.

spected by all. The remains were taken

business in the state of Maine, is well in
Dictated by the receipts of that depart
ment for the quarter ending September
30. These receipts were the largest of
any quarter in the history of the depart
ment, and, in fact, the receipts for the
first three quarters of 1904 have been
larger than the receipts for the whole
year of 1908. The significance of this
increase is fully shown when it is con-
sidered that the business of the depart
ment in 1908 was larger than that of any
previous year in its history. The re-
ceipts for the year ending September 30,
were as follows: Licenses to 152 COM

The event of last week was the mar
riage on Wednesday, Oct IL, at l 80 P. NJ,
of two of our most popular and we'll
known young people, Chester Howard
Lane, Jr., and Mabel Louise Stearns.
The couple had fitted and furnished a
very cozy pretty home on Park Street in
the lower rent of the house owned by
Geo. Farnum, and were married in the
bay window of their parlor. The mar
rage ceremony was performed in an i'm
pressive manner by Rev. D. F. Nelson,
and the little sister of the bride, Mary
Stearns, dressed in white, was ring
bearer. The bride was charmingly
dressed in a dainty gown of white silk
with lace trimmings. Only the i'm
mediate family, and Mrs. Nelson and lit
tie daughter Ruth were present. After
the ceremony refreshments of Harlequin
ice cream and variety of nice cakes
were served. One kind worthy of men,
ton was the wedding cake, which was
three years old, and as nice as when
first made. 1t was a part of the cake
made for the 25th wedding anniversary
of Mr. and Mrs. c. Howard Lane, the
parents of the groom, and it was fitting
that it should honor the wedding OF
their only son. The wedding gifts were
numerous and valuable, and consisted
of silverware, china, oil painting, and
two or three checks for a substantial
sum. Mr.. and Mrs. Lane left on the east
bound 4 p. NJ. train for short wedding
trip. There was quite a gathering Of
friends and acquaintance at the station,
who showered the happy couple with
rice, confetti, and hearty good wishes.
Our community will be glad to have
these worthy and respected young peo-
pie make their home here, and will unite
in wishing them the blessing of long
and happy married life.
