A public spirited citizen urges the
town of Bristol to appropriate $500 to

monuments, calling the attention of
| the summer tourist to such spots and
events would repay the outlay hun
dredfold. The town of Bremen is

people thought that the raising of them
would really become a Maine industry!
The exhibition of the work done by
the scholars Of the Westbrook manual

the surprising fact that the girls in the
