Then came the election of one moro Of

term of Seth F. Sweetsir of New GlouCes-
ter. This gentleman has occupied this
position for several years and he hes Civ
en- excellent satisfaction. The election re-
suited in the selection of L. w. Over of
Cumberland Junction This gentleman is
in every way qualified for the position. He
is thoroughly alive to the work and very
prominent in grange circles No mistake
has been made in his selection
During the counting of the ballots hun
dreds of the members went on the back
part of the stage and examined the spen-
did collection of weeds shown by Miss
Bernice Watson and Miss Linda Thomp-
son of Chelsea Grange. This is a very
| important matter and Chelsea Grange is
entitled to great credit for taking it in
hand. Prof. Kitchens is also deeply in
terested in the work. He believes that
the greatest danger to Maine farms. to-
day. is from such pests as the Orange
Hawk weed and the King Devil weed
The threatened invasion of the brown tail
moth is another of our great dangers.
The offer of Il S15 premium by this grange
for a collection of these weeds was the
starting point of this collection. The
members of Chelsea Grange took the ma
ter up, collected the weeds and brought
them to the two young ladies already
named. Both Miss Watson and Miss
Thompson are accomplished botanists
and they classified and mounted them
There are 240 specimens in all and 100 OF
these are different and distinct varieties
No one should fail to see them. Prof
Kitchens will move for premium of 81
for the same purpose. the coming year
and he believes that this will awaken a
general interest among our oranges to
make these collections and Investigations

of prisoners who are now serving life

justice had been satisfied by his 20
years imprisonment.
Nicholson is a native of Thomaston,
Me. and was % years old at the time
of the tragedy. His wife had left him
because of his Incorporate habits, tax
ing their child with her. On April u.

fusal. shot her through the heart. He
