ALL MERCHANTS
DECIDE TO CLOSE
ON LABOR DAY
RETAIL MERCHANTS ASSOCiA-
TlON HELD INTERESTING
MEETING YESTERDAY.
The Association Starts a Subscription
fer the Augusta Flood Sufferers
and Expect to Raise
Good, Round Sum.

A special meeting of the Retail
Merchants association was held yes
terday afternoon and several matters
of Importance We're taken up.
The president stated in calling the
meeting together, that the object of
it was to decide whether or not the
members OF the association desired to
close their places of business ON La
Dor Day, next Monday.
After some little discussion a mo-
ton was offered that all of the MEM
bers of the association close their
places out of courtesy to the labor
organizations of the city, who viii
observe the day. The motion was
carried unanimously and consequently
an of the stores will be closed. This
means that the day will be generally
observed in Brunswick, as all of the
Leading merchants of the city are
members Of the association.
The secretary was requested to have
a notice published in the local press
and to also write each member Of the
association notifying him of the act
ion.
The question of raising funds to as
sist the Augusta sufferers was also
taken up and it was decided to at
once start subscription list and
each member will be asked to sub
scribe whatever amount he may de-
sire. Other citizens will also have the
privilege of contributing to the Geor-
gia city, Which is badly in need of
assistance. In this connection it may
be stated that the list has already
been started and quite neat sum has
been subscribed
Brunswick is one of the few cities
in the state which have not so far
contributed to Augusta. 1t was not
because the people were not willing to
donate what they could for the suf-
ferers, but simply because no one took
enough interest to circulate a list 1t
is expected that a large sum will be
raised and il win be forwarded as
contribution from the Retail Mer
chants and Business Mems Associa-
tion of Brunswick

HOW BRUNSWICK
WILL Be DIVIDED
IN!OF0UR WARDS
COUNCILS SPECIAL COMMITTEE
WILL RENDER REPORT NEXT
THURSDAY NIGHT.
The Committee Held Meeting Yester-
day and Discussed tire Division
of the city--How City Will
Probably Be Divided.

The special committee of council,
which has in charge the matter of di-
yiding the city into wards, and which
was appointed at the meeting of coun-
ell last Thursday night, is now pre-
pairing its report and will render same
at the meeting of council to be held
next Thursday night.
The committee held a meeting yes
terday and while no definite decision
was reached as to the exact division,
the various wards were discussed and
the divisions suggested.
1t is understood that the division has
been practically decided upon and will
be as follows:
Ward number l will take in from the
south side of London street on to the
terminals; or in other words it will be
Isouth of London street entirely.
Ward number ? will include all res
idents between the north side of Lon
don street and the south side of Glou-
.cested street. This win be the small
est ward in area, but probably as
large if not larger than the others in
population.
Ward number three viii stake in
from the north side of Gloucester
street to the south side of street and
ward number four will extend from the
north side of street on out to the
city limits This will likely be the lar
gest ward in area, but the population
will be practically the same as the
other wards.
3 AS stated above, the committee has
not yet made up its report and con,
sequently the exact division is not
known, but it will very nearly be as
outlined above
Candidates Mentioned
AS the new law will be in force at
the coming election candidates ffom
the various wards are being mention
ed, but of course nothing definite is
known as to who will offer this early.
Each of the four wards will furnish
one aldermen and only the voters liy-
ing in the ward Of the candidates in
his ward can vote That is to say all
voters of ward one will vote only fer
the candidates from his ward in the
primary and the one receiving the lar
gest number Of votes will be the ward
nominee and will be voted for by vo-
ers from all wards in the general elect
ion.
The primary for the nomination of
a mayor and aldermen will net be
held until the latter part of Noyem-
ber, therefore the people have plenty
time in which to get the various candi-
dates in the field

hear that the Grange Field Day at
Swan Pond was an enjoyable affair.
They usually are. The outof-town
speakers were Rev. Mr.. Markley, Seba
Gilbert and perhaps others, Rev. Mr..
Pottle of this town and maybe Others.
Without doubt all had little something
to communicate. We planned to be one
of the number, but the weakness! !!
We have graduated, unless Browns
troches or menthol cement the cracked
pipe. We hear that we we're enquired
for. Pleasant to be enquired for unless
the enquirer happens to be the sheriff or
a creditor.
We managed to get to the political
gathering at the village in the evening
and paid the penalty. A. F. Warren
introduced the chairman, and we all
knew who it was when we looked him
over-the ex.secretary, who spoke
briefly, too briefly, in his usual easy and
pleasant manner, and then introduced
Mr.. Shelton, ex mayor of Lewiston, who
proved to be like the proverbial "singed
cat" Made some good points, drove
nails in q sure place, skinned the othe
fellow and tackled the hide on to the
barn door. Looked like coon skin
with the tail cut of.
The next speaker was John P. Well,
you know how it is with j. P.-how he
can eulogize and how he can comfort
the mourners. That's what he did In
his own original way. The full Turner
Band furnished music, and good music,
for the occasion.
We cannot understand why so level
headed q man as our Ex-State Master
of the Grange should place himself or
suffer himself to be placed in such an
undesirable and untenable position.
Don't know what his secret feelings are,
but ours would be that we were 10 the
auicksands, and the more we struggled
the deeper we sank, or fly in the
meshes Of a spiders web. That's what.
JOHN.
