There was regret and possibly some
murmuring among the hunters because
the last snow storm did not get round a
day or two sooner. But if the big game
could have been endowed with intelli-
gence they probably would have been
thankful that it came just as it did.
Only few deer have been secured
about here compared to former seasons,
but one man getting his quota, and that
was Frank Morgan, who has generally
been thus fortunate.
Our company the past week were
Scott Merrill of Norway, who stopped
with us over night, and Edgar Morgan

son, and gave US an invitation to come up
and see it, which we intend to do to-
morrow.

There was pie festival at the Patch
Mountain school house Saturday even
ing, and although it commenced storm
ing, thus hindering some from going,
there was good attendance, more than
fifty in number, and good time was en-

While the larger ponds were partially
open last week, Indian Pond was frozen

mirror, and a fine place for skating.
A few weeks ago in speaking of Miss
Minard in connection with her death, a
hope was expressed that her obituary
would be written, such as she was en-
titled to, being a we'll known minister of
the gospel and fine Christian woman.
Recently we received copy of Zion's
Herald and in it her obituary plainly
marked so as to attract our attention.
1t was written by Rev. r. A. Rich, for
merly of West Paris, and we'll and favor
ably known in this town.
The paper contains many other inter
esting articles, one being letter from
President Roosevelt, explaining the rea-
son why he objected to having the mot
to, In God we Trust, inscribed on the
new coin. And the reason is good one
as we should all naturally suppose it
would be.
We extend our hearty thanks to Miss
Myra Fl. Keene, whose name is on the
printed slip, for the favor.
