The Paris Town Meeting.

For the benefit of those who last week
received the first edition OF the Demo-
crat, which went to press at noon, we
summarize the work of the afternoon
session.
Only two hours was taken up by the
session, which closed at o'clock-about
the shortest town meeting ever held at
South Paris. The appropriation for
common schools called out the only con-
siderable discussion, in which H.. G.
Brown of West Paris, who objected to
long schools and large appropriations,
and Rev. H. A. Clifford, superintendent
of schools, were the principal partici-
pants. After that was passed, every
thing ran smoothly, with little discus
sion, and very liberal appropriations
were made, the list being as follows:

Apparently the day Of Indifference in
village corporation affairs, when forty or
fifty voters out of 400 answer the call for
tA annual meeting, and perfunctorily
go through the business, is over for the
present at least, judging by the proceed
ings of the annual meeting of South
Paris Village Corporation last Tuesday
night.
Engine House Hall, where the meet
ing was called, was full at the hour set
for opening, and quite crowd was
waiting in New HallTto which it was ex-
pected that the meeting would be ad-
journed.
After Corporation Clerk E. N. Haskell
had opened the meeting, Walter L. Gray
was elected moderator, receiving all but
one of the votes cast. The meeting was
then adjourned to New Hall.
A few minutes later, when the mod
orators gavel called to order in New
Hall, there were probably 200 or more
present.
The report of the officers for the past
year was accepted without division, and
tho election of officers for the coming
year proceeded. Ballots had been print
ed and distributed for number of the
candidates.

Samuel Stowe.

A good man has gone to his reward.
Samuel Stowe, formerly of South Paris,
died at Yarmouth Wednesday, March q,
at the ripe aged of 50 years.
Mr.. Stowe was for long time citizen
OF South Paris, living in what is still
generally known as the "Stowe house, f."
next the Congregational church. He
was one of the old conductors on the
Grand Trunk Railway, continuing in the
service of that road until advancing age
compelled his retirement. His last run
was on the Lewiston branch train, after
that branch was built. His wife was a
Miss Buck, sister of Mrs. Alva Hersey,
formerly of this place. Mrs. Stowe was
an invalid most of her life, and Mr..
Stowe took the tenderest care of her.
After Mrs. Stoves death few years
since, Mr.. Stowe went to live with rela-
tiyes at Yarmouth, where he remained
until his death last week. He has been
unite feeble for some time, and of late
had been a great sufferer.
No one who knew Mr.. Stowe failed to
have great respect for him. He was in
corruptibly honest, and an earnest advo-
cate of everything which tended to the
moral betterment of the community. In
the cause Of temperance he was particu-
larly interested, aud had frequently writ
ten for the Democrat on that and other
topics. His last letter to the Democrat,
only few months since, was in behalf
of the temperance cause, so dear to his
heart.
BY special arrangement made by Mr..
Stowe before his death, Miss Grace
Thayer, the undertaken, went to Var.
mouth after the remains, which were
brought here Thursday night, and the
funeral was held at Mrs. Thayer's Satur.
day afternoon. It was attended by Rev
Fl. A. Clifford of the Methodist church
of which Mr.. Stowe has long been zeal
Gus and earnest member.

With regard to the length OF the term,
there in nothing on which to base a good
prediction. There is not a large amount
of criminal business in sight. The
Rovinsky insurance cases, which have
once been tried and would make long
trial, although specially assigned to this
term, will be continued by agreement Of
counsel. As there is good prospect OF
term at Rumfor6 Falls in May, doubt
less some cases from that part OF the
county may go over from this term, and
there do not seem to be indications OF a
long term, but it is never safe to pro-
phesy.
The new sheriff, Hiram X. Hubbard Of
Paris, will have charge of the court room,
and W. A. Barrows, who was formerly
messenger, will again officiate in that
position. Court will be opened by Fl. T..
Hammond, the veteran crier, who has
served in that capacity for more than
forty years.
There are now in Jail fourteen, only two
of whom are awaiting this term of court.
OF these one is bound over on a search
and seizure, and the other is boy held
for breaking and entering. In addition
there are quite a number who are bound
over and are now out on bail. Most of
them are for minor offences.
