In the olden days it was traditional
that court week always brought big
storm. The tradition, like other things
in the realm of fable, has somewhat
faded, but we occasionally get a re-
minder of it, as we did in the fierce
southwest storm which accompanied the
opening of the October term of court

wheels of justice, and so the stroke of
ten found Judge Strout ascending the
bench, in his silken robe, and the ma
chinery of the court was set In motion.
Prayer was offered by Rev. ]. W.
Chesbro of the South Paris Baptist
church, and Crier Hammond made the
usual formal proclamations. The grand
jury was then empaneled and organized,
as follows:
