Miss Iva L. McArdle spent Christmas
with friends in jefferson.
Now you'll have to begin scratching
il out and writing it over-l9O1,
w. W. Walker and family of Wood
fords were with relatives here for Christ
mas.
Mrs. Elizabeth Eigerley spent few
= days last week with her sister, Mrs. Far
lin, at Wilton.
Christmas trade was very good this
year-rarely il ever better, on the whole,
say the dealers.
Miss Mabel G. Hathaway, who teaches
in Rockport, Mass, is spending the holi-
day vacation at home.
III. w. Deunison and family ate their

parents at West Bethel.
Very pleasant Christmas affairs with
. trees were held by the Sunday Schools,
the Congregationalists, Baptlsts and
| Universalists holding theirs Christmas
eve, and the Methodists on the noon and
afternoon of Christmas day.
Big Christmas business this year.
Postmaster Davis says that the day De-
fore Christmas was the busiest day there
has ever been in the South Paris post
Office during the more than eight years
that be has been postmaster.
A very acceptable gift presented at the
/ festival of the Methodist Sunday Schooi
| last week was water color OF Penley's
Grove, given by the teachers to the SUI
perintendent, DIR. Charles l.. Buck. IL
was the work of Mrs. J. S. Burbank.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry A. Morton enter
| tanned Christmas dinner party of four

| ton. William p. Morton, Miss Julia T.
| Morton. Mr.. and Mrs. George X. Nor
ton. Misses Isabel and Katherine Nor
ton, Master Henry Morton, Mrs. Rizpah

The Democrat is informed upon what
seems to be good authority that the
/ Grand Trunk will make a reduction IN
one way fares between Norway and
4 South Paris and Portland beginning Feb.
n LIST. There will probably be no reduc-
81 ton on the round trip, but 1t is thought
that the single fare to Portland Will De
20 cents less than now. This will be
y done TO NEE. the reduction of fares on
the Maine Central, the Grand Trunk
q having to come down to the Maine Cen
y trails rate from Danville Junction TO
n Portland.
Il Throughout the cold storms OF the
4 first of last week, when the snow fell,
i and the wind blew, and the sun showed
not a glimpse of his face for days, the
weather forecaster continued sending out
the somewhat monotOnous prediction,
"Continued fair aud cold" The Port
land forecaster declares that all the fore
casters were doing the same thing, and
4 that the conditions were such rs to
Justify thsm in the expectation that the
4 weather would be fair. The storms, he
n says. were the most unaccountsble OF
anything in his experience.
IL is certain that the water power on
the Little Androscggin River IN this
village has been sold within few days,
though the name of the purchaser is not
| made public. IL is however currently
| reported that the purchaser Is Hon.
George f.. Macomber OF Augusta, and
there SENS Ia be pretty good ground for
believing the report. Mr.. Macomber, as
is we'll known here, is large owner IN
q the Norway and Paris Street Railway,
q and the prime object OF such purchase
Il would be to prevent the power coming
a into the possession OF the village cor
poration, which would have the right to
4 use Il for the generation Of electricity 10
use and sell within the corporation
limits. For the past few years the
power has been owned by Haskell X
i Webster of Lewiston, who have now
4 sold IL. No transfer of the property has
4 vet been received at the registry OF
4 deeds.
Don't forget the New Years supper
of the Good Cheer at Good Cheer Hall

be served at $50, following which an en-
tertainment will be given. The enter
tainment will consist of two drills by the
little folks, Shaking Quakers," and the
'Pastime of the Moon and Stars, which
will be worth the price of admission
alone; the farce "Aunr Susan" will follow
with the following cast:
N Aunt Susan Jones. an old lady from the country.
Mrs. Roxie Mcsrdle-
Mrs. Markley, city merchants wife; ,..,
/ Mrs. j. 8. Burbank.
