Aroostook is searching for potato

Petitions have been drawn up, and are

the necessary number of such heater

less dependence on the Boston market
The assistant pos; mistress at Sa-

night not to find her cap, when it came
time to go home. But no amount of
searching would bring the missing

more than the usual mail for in it wa3

young lady in question hangs her
wraps upon a nail directly above the
mail bag and that the CAP in some way
fell in. The explanation is SO very

much to say about young ladies set

Letter to Rev. A. N. B1unson.

Rev. Sir: In making pastoral visits
OF course, you do not consider your
pleasure or comfort or ease: you 60
where your people live. But you have
two sets of feelings in going about
can't help tive all have. But you
especially have: for part of your bust
ness is sympathy. Well-kept lawns and
well-tilled fields, nice homes and nice
people, are cheerful to you, as they are
to everyone. Tumble-down building,
poor fences, men harrassed by burdens
too heavy for them, overworked women,
and dirty-faced children, you may be
strong to get on with: but you would
be more than human to find inspiration
in misery.
Paint divides the two sorts Of people:
one paints and the other don't. Or,
perhaps, the thrifty paint well: the un-
thrifty paint i'll.
To paint well is to keep paint sound.
There are two ways to do it: one is
bound TO paint often: the others to use
good paint.
1t costs about half as much to paint
Devoe as to paint with any other paint:
for Devoe takes fewer gallons than
mixed paints and wears twice as long
as lead-and-oil.
The thrifty and comfortable have
the art of using money more wisely.
How lucky they are. how happy.
Yours truly,

RETURN OF COMMISSIONERS TO RULE

RETURN OF COMMISSIONERS TO RULE
10 SHOW cAUsE-RULE DISCHARGED.
Before the grand jury were dis
charged, Solicitor Wilson, on being in.
formed on Monday afternoon that they
were about through with all other mat
ters requiring their attention, request
ed that before their final discharge the
returns of certain county officials whose
offices had been reported in the sum-
mer presentment of the grand jury be
read in the presence of that body.
'rhereupon Mr.. J. H. Lesesne read be-
fore the court and the grand jury, The
return of the Coun9y Auditor and the
return of the County Commissioners.
Upon the conclusion of this reading,
Judge Watts stated that insofar as the
County Auditor was concerned he saw
no reason why he should not be dis
charged from the rule to show cause
WHY he should not be indicted because
of the matters set forth in the report
of the grand jury at the summer term:
mis- sho"ing as to why he had been be-
hind in his work appeared, said Judge
Watts, to be a good one: and with
reference to the dispensary request
blanks. the Auditor had promised that
the law as to these should be complied
in the future. So that the purposes OF
the grand jury in reporting the Audi
tors Office were apparently subserved.
AS to the County Commissioners,
Judge Watts said that the matters
treated OF in regard to them were prin-
cipally matters OF economics: that they
had been guilty OF no violation OF law
except possibly in the respect OF fail
ing TO hand in the annual report OF the
Supervisor at the proper time, and
that he did not see that there was any
thing upon which the Solicitor could
hand out an Indictment or upon which
he could order these officials indicted
unless the grand jury upon looking
further into the matter should haze
some further and more specific charge
to prefer.
Judge Watts took occasion, however,
to commend the course of the grand
Jury in the matter, and said that when
ever there were matters which they
did not understand or whenever they
had reason to suspect that the county's
money was being mismanaged or sQuan-
dered it was their right and duty to
require that full showing be made
before them of what was being done.

TILLMAN FINDS AN HONEST MAN ON
THE BOARD.

We wonder what Col. John
Bell Towill, member of the
State Board of Dispensary Di-
rectors meant last Saturday at
Batesburg when he said to Till
man ';God knows what you did
when you went to Cincinnati. ,:
Can it be that Colonel Towill
was about to let slip something
he knows of Tillman's transac-
tions when the dispensary was
in it's infancy. and the purchasers
of whiskey forgot to put on re-
cord the rebates the State was
entitled to at the time? If the
Senator continues his prodding
game it would not surprise US
if he rams his pitchfork into a
yellow jackets nest and come
out OF the melee with considera-
bic disagreement. Towill says
"God knows what Tillman did III
Cincinnati" and Tillman says he
;didn't go to Cincinnati" Tow,
should have then and there ask
ed him to explain to the people
his transactions with the Mill
Greek Distilling Company, and
why it was that the many thous.
ands of dollars Of rebates are
not recorded on the books of the
dispensary. 1t is very evident
thai Colonel Towill has, during
his membership on the State
board, gotten some information
which will be unpalatable tC

Illlman, because, after I'lllman
intimated very strongly rehec-
ton upon Towill's honesty, and
the Colonel got to perspiring
under the collar to an extent to
hint that TiIlman did something
shady in Cincinnati, Tillman has
tens to say he ''had absolutely
no feeling against Mr. Towill,
and believed him to be thorough
ly honest but he thought that he
was in bad company, s'When
rogues fall out honest men get
their Dues" and as sure as fate,
Tillman is steering his nerve
into dangerous places. Ii he
believes Towill honest why did
he very recently hint that Towlll
had been bribed with a blooded
horse by a whiskey dealer, and
why did he charge that the dis
pensary machine was in the
hands Of a gang of thieves,
and advise Governor Hayward
to kick the brood Of thieves out?
Towill was present at the Bates
burg meeting and resented Till
mans insinuations, and retorted
witha good size one himself, then
all at once Towill's character be-
comes as white as snow and is in
formed thathls colleagues Evans
and Boykin are rascals. At the
next meeting it will be Hub
Evans turn to have his charac-
ter laundried, and then Boykin
can come in for a clearance card
and a certificate or label for
morality, such as d saint
would be proud to obtain.
Towill has given out the
formula how this absolution
is to be secured. When Tillman
again attempts to charge cor
ruption on the part OF the board,
let ole OF them step forward
with the inquiry about the early
transactions of the dispensary.
and he will at once disclaim any
reflection, and will intimate it is
the absent members Of the board
who are bad men.
Just what the Senator will do
if all three should unexpectedly
loom up before him is hard to
surmise. The nearest we can
come to it is a story we once
heard of young man in a ball
room who seeing an extremely
homely woman sitting in a COR
ner, asked another young man
who that fearfully ugly woman
was, the party inquired of, snap
pishly replied ''she is my sister,
oh! no, said the young man Il
do not mean her I refer to that
one over yonder." We'll hang
you thatis my wife; somewhat
discomforted by the embarrassing
position he was fast getting in,
he made another attempt to ex-
tricate himself, and this time he
said my friend you do not un.
derstand me I mean that very
ugly creature over there" Con-
found you, that is another sister
of mine, said the young man,
who showed clearly his impat-
ience. Giving upin despair, the
questioner said 'swell sir, Iswear
{ never said it." So, it begins
to look, will be TilIman's position.
He charged the board with being
a gang of thieves, then denied
it. At another time he selected
John Bell Towill to expose for
having been bribed with a ablood-
ed horse, and when confronted
at Batesburg Saturday, he
changes his mind about ToWill,
believes him honest but in bad
company, and when he is con-
fronted with the others he will
swear he never said it. The old
man is walking a rope with

these expenses and is in no
worse condition now than it has
been for a number Of years past,
and we expect to be able, unless
some unforeseen disaster should
occur preventing the county from
having at its disposal the usual
amounts arising from taxes, to
liquidate all Of the general ex-
penses of the county for the
present year as we have hereto
fore done. We beg to state fur
ther that whenever a claim is
presented against the county for
any amount, require that the
same be made outplainly, telling
what It's for and verified. These
claims are kept on file from year
to year. in addition to the records
in the books, which are always
open for inspection to the grand
Jury or any citizen wishing to
see them.
In conclusion we beg to state to Your
Honor, as you are already perhaps
aware, that the Office Of County Super
visor, or County Commissioner. IS one
which cannot be filled so as to satisfy
everybody, Us these officers are usually
the victims. whether right or wrong,
OF much censure and criticism. 1t has
been our constant endeavor and desire,
while in the discharge of our public
duties heretofore, as it will be in the
future. to discharge them honestly and
conscientiously, exercising at all times
our best business judgement with regard
the needs before US, and to expend the
CounJy's funds always as economically
as may be consistent with good business
principles. We shall OF course, be
pleased at all times to receive sugges-
tions from the grand jury, tie court, or
any of the county's citizens with regard
to improving the general welfare of the
public affairs under our control. We
have thought it necessary IN view OF the
general charges referred against US by
the grand jury, to go thus into detail,
and we hope that we have answered to
the satisfaction of Your Honor and OF
the grand jury the charges preferred
against US in their presentment.
WHEREFORE, your petitioners pray
that they be discharged from further
preseptment, and that the rule herein
be dismissed.
