GOOD RURAL PLAY
 TONIGHT ONLY, AT JACKSON'S THEATRE

William Lawrence. who for five years past has been playing the role of Uncle Josh in eeThe Old Homestead has the title role of Uncle Dave a character similar in many respects in Uncle Dave Holcomb." which was presented last evening to large and appreciati e audience at Jackson's Theatre. The play truly depicts the New England farmer with his dry hunnor and cheer full philosophy. the scenes and rural characters found in every New Eng land village. And then the old home stead. is it to go under withstlle mort gage? Is the scheming helder of the mortgage to have his way? No. all is joy at the end. Like the always en- joyed "Way Down East'' and .The Old Homestead" so is Uncle Dave Hol- comb"
 The play will be repeated both this afternoon and evening and merits S. O. audiences

BEWARE OF llTH !. HOUR CANARDS

It will be well for the electors to be watchful for eleventh hour campaign canards which are likely to be the last resource of the beaten and baffled men who, having betrayed Sthe people through two years of public life, are now. confronted with the evidence of their misconduct and unable to make a defense. Any issue that is worth pre- senting tc the people is worth present ing in season so that it can be intelli- gently and deliberately considered.
 Z The Farmer was informed today that certain clique in a last desperate eff fort to defeat Buckingham was pre- pairing to make an attack upon him by a subtle appeal to the prejudices of some voters who might be misled. Do not be deceived by these dishonorable methods. NRtmember that Buckingham has been a lublic servant for eight years an1 has proved to be an up right, high minded gentleman. Do not be fooled by lies that may now be circulated against him.

MIR. GILL DENIES
 FALSE STATEMENT

Assistant City Clerk Gill today said to a representative of the Farmer:
 "As to my having said that I would not serve with MT. Boucher, I have never made such a statement It is apparent that the object of such a story is to try to make it appear that there is some emnity on my part to- ward MT. Boucher. As a matter of fact, I have nothing but the kindliest feelings toward and the highest re- gard for his personal character and ability. I opposed him in the primar- ies simply because I aspired to the office of city clerk and not through any personal dislike or i'll feeling against him. All of the voters who supported me in the primaries ought to and I believe will stand by Mr.
 Boucher on election day. There is no reason why they should not. He won the nomination fairly and squarely
 Any man who claims to be a friend of mine will, if he opposes MT. Boucher s election, not only be not doing me a favor. but on the contrary will be -do- ing me a positive injury by giving strength to the impression which the Republicans are trying Sto create that I am unfriendly to MT. Boucher I am glad that you have come to me for this interview because it gives me an opportunity to state my position to my friends and I urge them all to loy- ally support MT. Boucher at the polls.''
