The SHOW was as light as feathers,

Everything is booming for the grand

Rockland and Portland have fur

The glue factory nuisance at South

1t appears that something decided is to
be done this time. There have been
criticism and fault finding about it ever
since it began operations, owing to the
odor at certain times. The summer
