THE COME AND SEE SIGN

This sign is permanently attached
to the front of the main building of
the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine
Company, Lynn, Mass.
What Does This Sign Mean ?
It means that public inspection OF
the Laboratory and methods of doing
business is honestly desired. Itmeans
that there is nothing about the bus
mess which is not "open and above
board"
It means that a permanent invita-
ton is extended to anyone to come
and verify any and all statements
made in the advertisements Of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Is it purely vegetable compound
made from roots and herbs with
out drugs?
Come and See.
Do the women of America continu-
ally use as much of it as we are told :?
Come and See.
Was there ever such a person as
Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any
Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick
woman are asked to write?
Come and See.
Is the vast private correspondence
with sick women conducted by
women only, and are the letters kept
strictly confidential?
Come and See.
Have they really got letters from
over one million, one hundred
thousand women correspondence
Come and See.
Have they proof that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured thousands of these women?
Come and See.
This advertisement Is only for
doubters. The great army of women
who know from their own personal
experience that no medicine in the
world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound for female ills
will still go on using and being ben
Gifted by it; but the poor doubling,
suffering woman must, for her own
sake, be taught confidence, for she also
might just as well regain her health

Two of the popular novels of the sea-

on the Harper press: The Barrier, by
Rex Beach, and King Spruce, by Hol-

The August number of the Atlantic

ing material. Charles D. Stewart, the

Lincoln is a shrewd and discriminating
observer of the annual summer pageant
at this famous watering place.
Major Holman F. Day, the we'll
known author of Maine stories, is at
his summer home at Indian Rest on
the picturesque New Meadows river.
He has just finished correcting the

fish coming. In my experience as a
fisherman this certainly was the most
exciting sport | had ever seen.
The water about US was alive with
pollock, large and small. The rushing
boat managing herself and the jumping
of the entangled fish seemed to set
them all wild They were jumping Oh
every side. We were taking pollock as
fast as we could work our lines, weigh
ing from to > pounds each. The naph-
tina boat racing along over the heavy
seas made it at times almost Impossible
for US to keep our feet. The flying
spray, the roaring breaker just inside,
our shouts of excitement as fish
larger than usual was hooked, all COM
bined to produce scene long to be re-
membered.
Occasionally, we had strike which
brought us up all standing. Peter
would stop the engine, then carefully
and steadily the line would be taken i'll
and a 4-pound mackerei would come
over the side into the boat.
For an hour this sport kept up, then
Peter called halt, declaring we had
enough; and evidently we had as we
were standing knee deep in fish,;
so reellng our lines we started home
ward, back through the gathering
gloom, back by cliff and ledge along the
shore of this matchleSs island.
In picturesqueness and wlldnesS moth
ing on the Maine coast can equal it. 1t
hasn't the grandeur of scenery that has
made Mt Desert famous, but the Won
derfully rich and varied colorlng OF
rock and cliff, the clinging seaweed, the
overhanging evergreens, the marvellous
depth and warmth of color in the at
mosphere, its glorious sunsets, all com
blne to make a unique and a perfect
mine of good things for painter.
AS we rounded Western Harbor
point into Criehaven the sun, big and
glowing red, swimming in wealth OF
gold and purple, sank into the sea-a
fit ending for a perfect day.

Census of 1890 Reproduced.

The Census office has just brought
out book which Congress authorized
it to sell at one dollar a copy, and &C
cordingly it now asks the newspapers to
tell the public of the offer. This book,
one volume for each State, contains
the names of all heads of families, with
related data, secured from the seized.
ules of the first census of the United
States, which was taken in 1890.
Those of New Hampshire, Vermont
and Maryland were published last year.
Now the books covering: Maine,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut, New York, Pennsylvania,
North Carolina and South Carolina
are in press, and will soon be ready for
distribution to all buyers. These works
should prove particularly interesting to
historians, antiquarians and genealo-
gists, and locally to the general public.

The Shoe Situation.

Footwear manufacturers in New Eng
land report thst jobbers continue to
purchase conserve lively, placing only
enough contracts to cover immediate
needs. The demand for prompt de-
livery has assured the larger producers
of full work for another month, but
there is little disposition in any division
of the industry to operate beyond the
business actually in sight. Belief that
the material market is inflated explains
this attitude. In many cases manufac-
turers insist on advances commensurate
with the rise in leather, but few jobbers
or wholesalers will pay the higher
terms.-Dun's Review, Aug. sth.

THE INCORPORATION OF PROSPECT
WITH A LIST OF THE INCORPORATORS
OF THE TOWN.

WITH A LIST OF THE INCORPORATORS
OF THE TOWN.
Our Searsport correspondent sends
US the following copy of the records
of the Massachusetts legislature relat-
ing to the incorporation of the town OF
Prospect for which he is indebt-
ed to Mr.. E. B. Billings Of Lynn,
Mass:
| COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
To the Honorable the Senate and the
Honorable the House of Representa-
tives in General Court Assembled, A.
Domini, 1871:
| The Subscribers, inhabitants of the
| Town of Frankfort in the County OF
Hancock, humbly show
That in June, 1889, an act passed the
General Court Incorporating the dis
trict which they inhabit, together with
another very extensive district, into
town by the name of Frankfort.
That by reason of their not having
given proper information relative to
| the Situation of said Town, the limits
of it are esta blished much more extern
siye than is usual or than is consistent
with the convenience of the inhabitants
thereof.
That from the Southern to the North
ern extremity, the said Town extendS
in strait line full eighteen miles, and
as the road goes, full thirty mnes-a
space SO large that the business of the
Town Cannot be Conducted without
much trouble & Confusion.
That the inhabitants of said Town
are principally settled in the two ex-
IRENE parts thereof, and that for eight
or ten miles in the Center there are but
a few Scattered Settlers, so that the
town meetings being necessarily held
in one of the extremlties cannot be at
| tended by those who live in the other
without the greatest difficulty.
That the part of said Town which
YOUR petitioners inhabit has always
heretofore been considered as a dis
tinct plantation from the other part,
and that the dividing line in the plan
which accompanies this petition has IN
conveyances & in all public Acts been
considered the boundary of what was
then called the plantation OF Frankfort.
That in the present extent of the
Town it is impossible to erect meet
ing house, school house or any public
building in any part thereof without
Creating great Inconvenience to large
proportion of the Town.
From all which considerations, your
petitioners pray that the part of the
Town which they inhabit may be set
off from the said Town of Frankfort,
and that they and the lands which they
occupy may be incorporated according
to the limits & boundaries described in
the annexed plan, by the name of Pros
pect.
And as in duty bound shall ever pray.
