hill-Marshall.

The wedding of Mr.. Daniel OsgoOd
Hill aud Miss Eva Marion Marshall,
which took place at the home of the
bride, August 9th, was quiet and inter
esting occasion. A few of the relatives
of the contracting parties were present.
The interest these friends manifested
and the presents which were given plain
" show that these young people are
greatly esteemed. They are both well
connected and come from families who
are highly esteemed by their townsmen,
Mr. Hill is a son of Mr.. Algernon K.
Hill of Norway, who is descendant Of
the early settlers of this country and
held in high estimation b. his towns
men.
The bride is a descendant of Revolu-
tionary stock. The great-grandfather OF
Mr.. Charles S. Marshall, the BRIDES
father, came from Glasgow, Scotland,
when he was IS years old. He enlisted
in the Revolutionary army and fought
his first battle at Bunker Hill. He mar
ried Miss Lucy Mason of Bethel. Mr..
Marshall built log cabin in Bethel,
which is said to be still standing, where
he and his wife lived until driven out by
the Indians. They fled to Paris, arriving
| in town Aug. 9, 1871. Ii is said that
Mrs. Marshall was the first white woman
who spent night in the town of Paris
Miss Eva Marion Marshall, her great
great granddaughter, was married on the
anniversary of that event, just l27 years
after. The great grandfather of the
brides mother, Mrs. Lila jackson
Marshall, built q frame house on Paris
| Hill in 1889, which was the first erected
in town, and is still standing. Mr.. and
Mrs. Marshall gave their daughter, the
youngest of three children, all girls, to
Mr.. Hill with the understanding that
the young people are to make their home
with them, and care for them in their
declining years.

NORWAY ", MECHANIC FALLS Va
The best game ever played on the fall
grounds, was the opinion of Q number
| who witnessed the contest between
Mechanic Falls and Norway which wa.
played Thursday afternoon. And
certainly no one could wish to see q
snappier or more evenly contested game
There was hardly an inning in which
there was not some fast fielding, and 9
better play than one which was pulled
off by Pike would be hard to imagine.
The play was on hard hit ground ball,
between first and second. Pike saw that
be could not reach the ball and stay on
his feet, so he made dive for it, got II
in one hand and threw out Adams at
first, while sitting on the ground.
The work of the two pitchers was e1-
cellent, and both seemed to improve as
the game progressed. In the matter OF
strike-outs, Leith had a good lead,
striking out fifteen men and In the ninth
and twelfth innings got all three batters
on strikes. Adams, however, showed to
fine advantage 10 fielding his position,
and his work in this line was in marked
contrast with that done by Leith.
The Mechanic Falls team played the
entire twelve innings without an error.
The only play which could possibly have
been scored an error was on hard hit
ground ball, near second base, which
Lawler stopped but could not field, and
on which it was my judgment that the
batter was entitled to hit.
Besides the work of Pike, Lowell and
Bearce also played fine ball. Harrison
did we'll, but his work would be better
appreciated if he would play his own
position and stop butting into Pixies
plays. There is no question but what
Pike is fully capable Of playing his side
of the diamond.
The game was called off at the end of
the twelfth inning because of darkness.

And Still the Town Is Dry.

South Paris was dry town, as far as
Norway water was concerned, most OF
last week. We were not as badly on as
Norway, however. as that town depends
almost entirely upon the Norway Water
Co., while we have several small indie
pendent systems. The trouble was
break in the intake pipe at the lake
through which sand and gravel had been
drawn into the pumps. The reservoirs
were partly full, and this water was held
for use in case of fire, the system being
shut off on Sunday. After some delay,
temporary pipe for the intake was rig
ged, and the water was turned on again
not at full pressure, Friday night. II
will take some time yet to get per
manent repairs made.
When the fire started at Norway Satur
day noon the water was shut OF from
this village entirely. Saturday evening
| il was on again for while, then it wa
again shut off, and We are still as dry a
aver.

in connection with that map that the

have been case of heterophemism or OF

NORWAY 6: WEST PARIS 8.

There was a good attendance at the
fair grounds Saturday afternoon to see
Norway defeat West Paris. After wit
Messing the game with Mechanic Falls
Thursday this game Saturday seemed
dull and embarrassing. There we're no
particularly fast plays for the crowd to
become enthusiastic over, and costly
errors by West Paris were great aid to
Norway in winning the game.
Norway secured two-run lead in the
first inning on two hits and two bases
on balls, slow fielding being responsible
for one of the hits. West Paris scored
its first run on Lowell's error and two
hits in the fourth inning, and with good
base running they would have scored
twice at this time. Two hits and costly
errors by N. Rowe and Ridlon gave Nor
way three runs and the game in the
fifth inning. In the sixth each team
scored one run. A base on balls, put
out at first and Harrison's error did the
trick for West Paris, while Norway got
the only earned run of the game
on Lowelrs single and Prices double.
The last run of the game came to West
Paris in the seventh on Emery's hit, Rid.
| Ions sacrifice and wild pitch.
Each team was credited with eight
hits, but six of West Paris were made
after two men were out, and six of Nor.
ways with only one out or no outs, thus
Norway's hits proved of more advantage
to them.

Work on the state road has been COM

surfaced with gravel on Pleasant Street
from the Norway line past the fair
grounds and practically to the main gate

lance of 81 rods. An underdrain of 10
inch tile has also been laid across the
cemetery, 262 feet in length, to carry Oh
the water which has before always stood
on this flat place in the road in the
spring. To do the work 1920 loads OF
gravel were used. Part of this was TAX
en- out of the road in front of w. X. Gilt
ford's on the Hebron road, thus cutting
down the knoll somewhat. The rest oil
il was taken out of knoll back Of j. A.

South Paris was unable toarrange a
game in the short time that they had
after finding out that Norway did not
intend to play them Saturday. There is
a possibility that we may get q game
with Norway for mort Saturday, but with
two refussls to play us already, the pros
poets of q game are not bright. The
Norway team has arranged no game for
this date at this time and we have asked
them for this date, but they will no
doubt get some other team If possible,
and take South Paris only as last re-
sort. No doubt the reason for Norway's
continual refusal to play US, is that they
think their team, with its bunch OF
salaried players, Is altogether too fast
for South Paris, and that the game
would be 80 one sided that 1t would lack
all interest. (Of course there Is no other
reason, and the result Of such game
would be foregone conclusion.) Per
haps the Norway fans would get enough
sport seeing Norway put 1t all ovel
South Paris, 30 that they would not de
mand their money back after the has,
ball farce, and We are conceited enough
to think that with Rich In the box, Soutl
Paris is a. good drawing card as Nor
way could get. II Norway continues t
refuse to play US We shall see II a chal
lenge will have any effect on them, ant
1t will be SO worded that each team
shall have an umpire and the winning
team take the entire gate receipts.
