A Pleasant Occasion.

Patrons of Skowhegan's Rural Free
Delivery Route No. 8, to the number
of forty assembled at the farm home
known as the Tobey place, last Sat-
urday to pass the evening with Mr..
and Mrs. Eugene Merchant. Mr..
Merchant has been the carrier on this
route since it was established about
five years since. In all this period he
has missed but one full trip and has
shown a courtesy and thoughtfulness
for the service of those who receive
their daily mail through him that has
completely won their regard. 1t was
to show their appreciation of his
faithfulness that the patrons of route
three made this evening call and the
gathering had an added interest from
the fact that it afforded opportunity
to offer Mr.. Merchant congratulations
on his recent marriage.
The guests brought with them two
handsome chairs, and, as the funds
placed at the disposal of the commit
tee were in excess of the amount
needed for this gift, the balance was
made into purse and given to Mr..
and Mrs Merchant for them to pur-
chase the remberance that would
suit them best. The presentation
was made by A. E. Jewett and Mr..
Merchant responded for himself and
his wife expressing their heartiest
gratitude. Mr.. and Mrs. Merchant
had h ad few hours notice that they
were to receive guests that evening
and in this brief time had prepared to
entertain them most Hospitality Oh
CARS were at hand for tue gentlemen
and refreshments of cake and candy
for all.
AS has been already noted, all the
patrons of the route were concerned
in the affair, but Geo. B. Wing and
Mr.. and Mrs. Cony Sanborn were
among the most active in making the
arrangements, Mr.. and Mrs. Sanborn
being the committee to select gifts
above referred to.

Municipal Court.

A hearing was entered upon before
Judge Bachelor in the Skowhegan
Municipal Court on Monday morning,
John Croce being the respondent.
The action arose from the result of a
search and seizure made on Croce's
premises Saturday afternoon by Sur
gis deputies, Horace M. Weston and
Fred Horne. The deputies found a
quart bottle partially filled with
whiskey and some kegs of cider which
they libeled, and Croce was arrested.
At The hearing on Monday the attor-
ney for the defense made the dis
covery that the figure "7n had been
omitted in dating The warrant leaving
it "190" instead of 1907. Under his
motion to that effect, the Judge was
obliged to order the release of the
prisoner on this seemingly minor
technicality.
Croce was rearrested by Sturgis
Deputy Horace M. Weston on Mon
day and taken before Judge Bachel-
Ter. He gave bonds for his appear
ance for trial on Saturday next, when
he will be tried under the search and
seizure process as he would have been
on Monday but for the defect in the
warrant.
A civil case with some unusual fea
lures occupied the attention of the
Court during Monday afternoon.
The parties were B. F. Stafford of
Dead River, represented by Forrest
Goodwin, Esq, of Skowhegan and c..
o. Dyer of Lexington represented by
Bernard Gibbs Esq, of Madison.
The litigation involved the owner
ship of heifer which was claimed by
both parties. The decision was rem
dered in favor of Mr.. Dyer but Mr..
Safford's counsel entered an appeal
and the case will be entered for trial
at the December term of the Supreme
Judicial Court.

Sorosis.

Gentlemen's night has always been
a most successful affair in Sorosis and
the meeting of Tuesday evening, De-

tian Love Song" Miss Sara Snow;

A Pleasant Surprise.

About twenty of the gentlemen
friends of Fred R. Philbrick passed
last Monday evening with him at his
home on Madison avenue, the Incl
dent giving rise to the gathering
being Mr.. Philbrick's forty fourth
birthday. The affair was planned by
Mrs. Philbrick and her husband was
completely in the dark about it until
the company, who had met by ap-
polntment at the residence of G..
Edward Durrell, arrived at his door
at about eight O'Clock. The fact that
the arrival was surprise to the man
of the house did not prevent most
hospitable welcome and, after a short
period of greetings and congratu-
lations, game of bridge whist was
arranged. AT the close of the game
an accounting of the score showed
Messr5 Fred G. Pooler and G. E.
Durrell to be entitled to the prizes
and they were presented with appro
pirate souvenirs. Delightful refresh
ments were served and the guests
departed for their homes about the
midnight hour, after wishing Mr..
Philbrick many returns of the day

In Washington.

Through the efforts of Mr. Bur
leigh, Waterville expects to get a
new post Office building to cost not
exceeding $500, 900. The bill has
been referred to the committee on
public buildings
The "maiden" speech of jeff. Davis
of Arkansas In the Senate, Wednes-
day, was listened to by full house,
out of sheer curiosity. He did not
take off his boots and shy them at
Vice President Fairbanks, or stand
on his head, but his so called
speech was the ramblings of a
buffoon, and there was but little
sense TO it anyway. Those who
heard it regarded it as a fiat failure.
Mr.. Hale has been helping Speaker
Cannon in making up his committees.
His great judgment in such matters
is generally conceded.
Gov. Burleigh visited Commissioner
Warner last week, and called up two
or three scores of pension claims
which Maine soldiers had asked him
to expedite as much as be might be
able. He is taking up still another
batch of these requests this week,
and will continue at it, as fast as they
come in during the session.
On Monday Senator Tillman made
a red hot, characteristic speech on
the financial situation, abusing the
President and most everybody else
connected with the government.
Very little business has yet been
done by either branch of Congress.
Both houses have agreed to adjourn
on Saturday for the Christmas holt
days, the recess to last until Jan. 9Th.

Annual Grange Fair.

The annual fair of Skowhegan
Grange is in full swing this week.
1t commenced on Tuesday afternoon,
with the opening of the exhibition
and sales department in the lower
hall and will close with a social hop,
this evening. The attendance WAS
large during Tuesday afternoon and
evening and all day yesterday, and
many of the booths had sold practi-
cally all of their stock, by the time
of their closing last night. The sale
will continue today and also this
evening, but the booths will have to
be rearranged somewhat to make
way for the chicken pie supper which
is to be served from 4.30 to 7.30.
The repetition of "Valley FARM
drew a crowded house last evening.
OF this play it is only necessary to
say that the several amateur drama
lists rendered their parts in the
manner which elected so much praise
last year. The cast of characters
was the same as last year except that
Mrs. Fred r. Hill assumed the char
acter of Alvira Holcomb in place of
Miss Dorothy Elliot, who was recent
ly summoned to her home in Port
land by the death of her father. The
Grange was very fortunate in having
among it's members one who could
assume this roll successfully on such
short notice, otherwise this drama,
quite an essential feature of the fair,
could not have been given.
The fact that the fair is still in pro-
gress makes it impossible to give a
full description of its various depart
ments in this issue. The continuation
of this account, with the reports of
the financial and other committees
will be given next week.

Skowhegan Grange.

The regular meeting of Skowhegan
Grange last evening was called to
order at the appointed hour and, on
account of the Grange fair, recess
was ordered to continue until Satur-
day evening next. On coming to
order at that time the annual election
of officers will be held. The officers
for 1908 will be installed at the meet
ing of January 20, and G. S. Stetson,
formerly special deputy, but now
Master ELECT of the Maine State
Grange, succeeding Obadiah Gardner,
will be the installing officers.
1t is expected that the programs
for the year of 1908 will be ready for
distribution at the first meeting of the
year, January Is.

Unfortunate Accident.

The many friends of R. II. Town
send and family will greatly regret
the serious accident which befell Mr..
Townsend on Monday afternoon,
while he was engaged in painting his
home on Winter street. The ladder
on which he was standing at the mo-
ment slipped at the bottom letting
him fall to the ground, a distance of
twenty feet. He was rendered un-
conscious by the fall and the physi-
clans called to attend him found a
fracture and dislocation of the right
hip. Mr.. Townsend's condition is as
comfortable as could be expected
after such an accident, but his re-
covery.will necessarily be very slow.
He had worked all his life about
buildings, sometimes on very high
places, like the steeple of the Metho-
dist church, but had never before met
with serious injury.

Master of the Maine State Grange,
yeste rday, by that organization which
has been holding its annual meeting

statement originally made on his
learning the result of the last Presi-

trust the New York Sun and other

notice, although it may not stop their
