Scion Virgin and his brother-in-law,

visited here, and three years since the

In replying to Candidate Davis state
ments that our states increase in valua.
ton is obtained by making large figures
now instead of small ones as formerly,
and that the increase is not in fact
real, some of the newspapers cite Rum
ford Falls, Millinocket, Madison, and
other towns-evidently never having
heard of Mexico, small town close by
Rumford. We feel that our increase is
worth mentioning. In 1890, not far
from $4,000; in 1904, 1925, 000-and not
a fictitious valuation, but We can show
the property on which it is placed. We
think an increase of more than $40, 900
ought to give us recognition. Another
fact worth mentioning is that the in
crease is still on, and next Aprirs valua-
ton will show much larger figures.
Candidate Parker's "heroism" many

Mr.. and Mrs. Leslie Whitman's enter
tainment came off last Saturday evening,
according to programme, and was re-
ported a success. About 80 attended
the festival, the most of them bringing
presents of more or less value. The
treat consisted of ice cream, cake, oranges
and peanuts. Charles A. Durham and
his sister, Ada, of West Bethel, came

the occasion.
Charles Durham had the care of the

Strawberries are gone, raspberries
