the course of the day. As is well '
known, Mr. Fernald is one of the candi-

Toms Cabin company, which was ex-

A surprisingly large number went over
To see it in the evening.
Some of the best sleighing of the win
ter on the main roads, last week. In
spite of the fierce cold of the winter, 1t
is generally agreed that it has been one
of the best winters known for lumber
ing. and the man who hasn't got his
lob done, and gone back to the stump
again, has failed to improve his oppor-
tunities.
Here's added trouble for those who
oct into trouble and land behind the
bars. The county commissioners at
their meeting last week ordered that
hereafter no tobacco shall be furnished
by the county TO prisoners in jail. No
prisoner will be prevented from buying
tobacco with his own money, but the
impecunious unfortunate who gets IN
there will have 10 take the rest cure Tor
the smoking habit.
A visitor at the Democrat office the
other day told of a relative living IN
Boston who put a piece OF Ice IN MS re-
frigerator last November and some OF 1t
still remains. He said 1t was the nrst
winter in Boston that he hadn't had to
y ElttF o.
much of a story South Paris man re-
lateS that he put a cake of ice in his re-
frigerator at Thanksgiving time, and 1t
has sweled SO it has pushed the lid up |
several inches.
A large portion of the people of the
place were awakened about l O'Clock |
Monday morning by an earthquake
There were two distinct shocks, lasting |
several seconds, and perhaps half a min
ute apart, and sharp enough SO that
some admit they were scared. Beds |
shook and windows ratified, and in one
house at least things were shaken OIL |
shelf. Ii has been many years since an
earthquake was felt here among the |
rock-ribbed hills of Old Oxford, and this |
has done no harm.
