Shipping OF pulp wood, boards and

Of tho year.
Asst. Atty. Gen. G. P. Barnes was at
home from Augusta to attend ladies'
night of Oxford Lodge Wednesday.
Interest in the approaching annual
town meeting is somewhat apparent,
but not 30 marked az 1t usually is.
With the outcoming Of the annual report
the various candidates will probably
make known their desire to hold office.
The past twelve months have been de-
void of anything Of Importance In the
way of political capital.
Ladies' night at Oxford Lodge, No. IL,
F. and A. NJ, was held Wednesday even
ing. The banquet was served In !. o.
O. r. Hall, at which some over two hun
dred and ten were seated. After few
remarks by W. NJ, Geo. L. Curtis, Right
Ex.. Howard D. Smith, Past Master Z.
F. Smith and Asst. Atty. Gen. G. P.
Barnes, the company repaired to the
lodge room above where they were
entertained by the Lewiston quartette,
Temple Quartette, of which George W.
Horne, formerly of Norway, Geo. N.
Drake, A. R. Prince and Z. e. Parker
are members; Mr.. Parker, reader; Mrs.
Horne accompanist. Some very excel
lent selections were rendered by the
large chorus to the great pleasure OF the
company. After social hour the COM
PAW broke mp much elated with the
evenings entertainment. Ladies' night
has been the social Masonic feature OF
Oxford Lodge.
Saturday evening q party of veranda
Club members with few invited friends
visited the Mothers Club at Norway
Lake and enjoyed most pleasant meet
ing.
Harry Downing Of the U. Of N. is at
home for time.
Mrs. Fred Emery and daughter Helen
of Rumford are with friends in Norway
for a short visit. Mr.. Emery came from
Bethel to Norway some years ago and
went into trade In the store now occu-
pied BY w. E. Foss at the "Falls."
The sidewalk opposite Coles store,
near the post Office, caved In few days
since and ia now planked over. The
damage was caused by q leak in the
steam pipe extending to the street main.
st. GATHERINGS society of the Catholic
church held fair Wednesday and Thurs.
day of last week at the opera house with
excellent financial success. There were
lots of things to purchase and many pur.,
cbasers, The attendance was large and
something was doing all the time.
Thursday evenings dance with first class
music was the feature most pleasing to
the young people.
It ia understood that Norway's School
Board, in common with others, expert
ences considerable difficulty in the selec-
ton of the proper person for superin-
tepdent of schools. The selection Of G.
P. Barnes, ESQ, as Asst. Atty. Gen. OF
the state and his resignation as Nor
ways very able school officer presents
the question squarely for action. What
shall be doneP 1t is understood that
some move under the laws of '07 Is con.
sidered. 1t is suggested that Paris and
Norway unite in the employment OF a
SUPERINTENDENT of schools. The amount
paid BY each town plus the state aid
would make salary for some man well
fit ed to discharge the duties OF the
Office. Norway pays $500 per year and
EXPENSES of team, Paris about the same,
while the state for the payment to the
superintendent so employed 10y union
of towns) viii contribute sum equal to
twice the aggregate sum paid by the
towns comprising the union up to but
not exceeding eight hundred dollars.
This would make salary OF fourteen
hundred dollars per annum, with neces-
sary expenses. 1t is commended, with
much apparent reason, that this course
should be adopted at once. 1t Is hoped
that the committee will act In this mat
ter in such manner as to advance the
best interests of Norway's excellent
schools. 1t Is suggested that action
should be taken at the annual town
meeting and union effected with some
other town or towns before the close OF
the school year.
