This will give very good idea of the
shape of the tract surveyed by Smith
and the numbering of his lots. The vs.
mark Gorham Academy Grant land
afterward lotted by Gen. Irish.
Smiths lots did not touch either the
easterly or the westerly line and tract
midway of the tier next to Paris line,
was not included, so they were not "the
width of the half-township." They
covered more than 1.-TWO lots wide' in
some respects and not all of two tiers in
Others. Lots and we're the ones an
nexed to Paris. John Starbird must
have lived on the lot bought BY Fobes
and not on an adjacent" lot. Fobes
sold it in 1915; John Gray bought lot 9
in 1912. A very little examination OF
easily accessible records would have pre-
vented part of these blunders.

An Inaccurate Historical Statement.

Editor Democrat:
While looking over the Woodstock
Town Register recently published by the
H. E. Mitchell Co., l noticed this
''Soon after the settlement in the west
part of Woodstock was made section
two lots wide was surveyed the width of
the relationship on Paris line by John
K. Smith. These lots were Of different
sizes, and in number some twelve or
fifteen. Benjamin Fobes
bought lot No. I, according to Smiths
survey in 1904, and soon after John
Gray and John Starbird bought two
adjacent lots, the two last named lots in
1925 were annexed to Paris"
The lots surveyed by Smith were in
the east part of the town, or Gorham
Academy Grant. but that fact is not
mentioned. He was sent to lay out
seven lots but, having found ten settlers
there, laid out ten lots land no more) of
one hundred acres each in July, 1903.

COMMON COLDS ARE THE CAUSE
OF MANY SERIOUS DISEASES.

COMMON COLDS ARE THE CAUSE
OF MANY SERIOUS DISEASES.
Physicians who have gained national
reputation as analysts of the cause of
various diseases, claim that If catching
cold could be avoided long list of
dangerous ailments would never be
heard of. Every one knows that pneu-
monia and consumption originate from q
cold, and chronic catarrh, bronchitis,
and all throat and lung trouble are aggra-
waited and rendered more serious by each
fresh attack. Do not risk your life or
take chances when you have q cold.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will cure
it before these diseases develop. This
remedy contains no opium, morphine or
other harmful drug and has thirty years
of reputation back of it, gained by its
cures under every condition. For sale by

The Twelfth Annual Clerks BAN.
NORWAY OPERA HOUSE THE SCENE OF
ANOTHER BRILLIANT FUNCTION TUES
DAY EVENING.

The local affair which is socially tn,
swell" event of the year, which IL look
cd forward to for weeks and keeps thu
dressmakers busy, 10 the clerks ball 81
Norway Opera House. Il is given By
the Clerks Association Of Norway, about
the first Of February each year. As the
association 10 not organized for either
commercial or philanthropic purposes, II
can afford to do things in good shape
and they are so done. This years ball
was given last Tuesday evening, the 9th,
and was in all respects fully equal to
its predecessors.
The president of the Clerks Associa.
ton this year is r. W. Faunce. Charles
| s. Akers Is secretary and treasurer, and
Lee n. Smith, W. L. Libby and Clarence
Downing are general committee.
As in former years, Charles s. Akers
had charge of the decorations, and that
is sufficient guarantee that the bare
white walls of the Opera House will be
so transformed that the room wilfap-
pear bower of beauty. This year the
colors used were sage green and white,
on different scheme from anything ever
used before, and the immense quantities
of crepe paper used not only draped the
walls artistically, but were arranged
;; with peculiar effectiveness about the
stage. Rows of small electric lights also
added to the effect. The color scheme,
while not so snowy and perhaps not so
rich as in some years, formed a most
becoming background for the light
costumes of the ladies and the general
brilliancy of the scene on the floor.
From 8 to 8 O'Clock Stearns' Orchestra,
including local and imported players to
the number of fifteen, gave fine con.
cert on the stage. At 8 o'clock the
grand march was led by Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles S. Akers, and about ninety coup
les participated. The full order of
dances, which occupied the time until
we'll into the small hours, was as follows:
March and Circle.
1. Waltz.
2. Quadrile. G. II. A.
8. Two-Step.
4. Boston Fancy.
5. Schottische.
8. Lady Of The Lake.
Z. Waltz.
8. Quadrille. Lanciers.
8. Portland Fancy.
10. Waltz and Two-Step.
IL. Schottische and TwO.Step.

Is Watt.
IA. Ga op.
Is. Two-Step.
l6. Schottische.
II. Portland Fancy.
Is. Waltz.
10. Two-Step.
90. Waltz.
Charles S. Akers was floor manager,
and F. W. Faunce, Carl Boynton, Lester
Cowau, L. j. Brooks, W. L. Libby and
Clarence Downing were aids. At in
Permission supper was served in Odd
Fellows Hall.
Many handsome costumes were worn
by the ladies, which it would be imprac-
ticable to enumerate. White was the
predominant color, and the general effect
was very light and cheerful.
The gallery was crowded with specta-
tors, many of whom remained until
late hour.

The purchase of the Clyde line by
Charles W. Morse, the ice king and head
of the Eastern Steamship company, is a
fine thing for Bath. These vessels are
to be registered at the Bath custom
house and will therefore mean goodly
addition to the compensation of the new
collector as we'll as several thousand dol
lars to the city in taxes. Thus again

curry down To 20 below zero THURSDAY
morning, followed by foot of snow on
Friday, things looked a little old
fashioned. Nobody is finding any fault
about it, as far as heard from, and most
of the people of the community are dis
tinetly rejoicing.
Trains were delayed Wednesday fore
noon by wreck at Yarmouth. A
freight train coming into the yard at
quite high speed struck an open switch
and took a siding on which another
freight engine, which had been doing
local shunting work, was standing. Al
though one of the engines was badly
used up and a number of freight cars
were piled in heap, strange to say
none of the train men was seriously
injured, one engineer who jumped sus-
tanning some sprains and bruises.
There was mourning in his home on
Tuesday, for Candy was dead. To most
South Paris people the statement needs
no explanation. For the benefit OF those
who do not understand it. Candy was
poodle belonging to j. j. Emeley. At
first sight it was always rather uncertain
which way he ought to be expected to
travel, but that fact did not lessen the
affection which was felt for him. Some
other stronger dogs attacked him some
time since, and injured him so that he
did not recover well, an6a merciful end
was put to his suffering.
