The Democrat is requested to call at
tention to the fact that under the laws Of
Maine, Sunday is close time on all kinds
of game. This is fact generally as we'll
known as the dates of the beginning
and end of close time, though ones ears
would not give testimony to that effect
ON auy pleasant October Sunday. In
deed, while most hunters in this section
observe the letter of the law quite care
fully in most respects, the Sunday close
time does not seem to have the same
force as the rest of it.
A very dainty and pleasing entertain
ment was that given by the Marshall
Sisters in New Hall Saturday evening,
under the auspices of the Good Cheer
Society. Miss Edith and Miss Ethelyn
Marshall play variety of instruments,
including Swiss bells, silver sleigh bells,
xylophone, q form of Tyre, etc. Cora Z.
Marshall is accompauist on the piano.
The musical part of the programme was
attractive in all its varied numbers, and
nearly every one was given a hearty re-
call. If any criticism is TO be made ON
it, it is that the piano accompaniment Is
too constant and insistent, sometimes
obscuring the beauty of the other music.
Character songs, readings and imper-
were also given by the Misses
Marshall with good effect. The pro-
gramme was deserving of larger audi
ence than the only fair number which
heard it.
