The Sewer Question.
WEST PARIS, Feb. II, 1910.


Editor Democrat.
In the last Democrat appeared an
item from Citizen" on the sewer sys-
TEN at South Paris, claiming that the
town ought to construct sewers there,
as towns now have the unit of power,
and school matters, with roads and
board of health, are shifted to towns.
If "Citizen" will give us his name so we
can see where he lives, we can judge
better of his motive, yet will wager he
lives at South Paris.
But deny the power of towns to do
any of these unlimited improvements
staring us in the face, as in his item,
without full statute grant to do so, and
the board of health has no power to
order sewers and the town pay for or
build them.
This whole cry comes from the South
Paris center, and it all is like the fair
ness of the white man when he and the
Indian went hunting together. They
shot turkey and an owl, and how tn
divide the game was the question. But
Whitley was cunning and sharp, so he in
fairness says, "Indian say how" No."
says the red man, "you say" And
Whitley shrewdly says, swell, you may
have the owl and will have the turkey,
or will have the turkey and you may
have the OWL" Old Indian says, bah!
You no say turkey to me once"
want to do no injustice to any part
of our town, but is it right for other
parts of the town to build their sewers
and cesspools, aud then be taxed to help
South Paris construct theirs? Much
could be said against this, but is it not
better to be calm and just to all alike,
and not force matter too long, too far
and long, against fair, full expression
of the town?

What the Grapefruit Is.
CANTON, N. Y, Feb. 10, 1910

CANTON, N. I :, reo. ~, lolV.
Editor Democrat:
1t may interest Greenwood" to know
that the grapefruit grows on the Citrus
decumana, a sister of the orange and
lemon. 1t is native of the Malayan
and Polynesian Islands, where it grows
10 to Is feet high, but has spread
through the tropics, and has been much
improved by cultivation in India, Cali.
fornia, and espe cially in Florida, where
most of the valuable market varieties
have been developed. Other names are
Pomelo, Pumelo; the pear-shaped varie-
ty ia called Shaddock, because brought
by a sea captain of that name into
Jamaica. In Florida 1t grows from Is to
rs feet high, flourishing under the same
conditions and treatment as the orange
and lemon; the varieties common in the
market bear the names, Aurantium,
Josselyn, Hart, Marsh (seedless), Per
nambuco, Royal (small, not bitter,
Tresca (pulp rose-colored), Triumph,
Walter.

tended the common schools of the town
and Norway Liberal Institute. For
some years after attaining his majority
he was engaged in business pursuits,
but later read law with Hon. j. j. Perry,
and in 1861 was admitted to the Andres
coggin bar. He practiced law for some
time at Bryant's Pond, held various
town Offices, and was representative in
the legislature in 1854.
In 1872 he was elected register of pro-
bate for Oxford County, and the family
removed to Paris Hill, then the county
seat. This Office he held continuousl,
for twenty years. Later he was appoint
ed Judge of the Norway Municipal
Court, and removed to Norway, where
he has since lived. He held the position
of judge of the court for twelve years,
and it is a we'll known fact that as far as
his jurisdiction was concerned, no guilty
man was ever allowed to escape.
Mr.. Davis was always a Republican,
and it was as a member of that party
that he was chosen to the several offices
which he held. He was member Of the
Methodist church, Mason and an Odd
Fellow. In temperance work he was al
ways active, and threw the weight Of his
influence on the right side of all moral
questions. He was a genial and COM
panionable man, and has left host Of
friends.
AS mentioned above, Mr.. Davis had
been married more than sixty-three
years, his wife being Lucy NJ. Felt of
Woodstock. They had two children,
Samuel F. Davis, now postmaster at
South Paris, and Carrie, wife of Thomas
Muirhead, who has always lived at home
and cared for her parents.
The funeral will be held at II O'Clock

Here and There.
81. G. BROWN.

Halley's comet, returning after an alb
sence of about seventy-five years, is now
visible to telescopes, and will by-and-by
be brilliant object in the sky. On the
18th of May it will sweep across the face
of the sun, and as it will then be only
about fourteen million miles from us,
it's tail is expected to envelop the earth.
The spectrum shows that the comet con-
tains cyanogen, a deadly gas, and a col.
lege professor in California has achieved
some fame for himself by making the
safe statement that if sufficient quan.
tity of that gas should become mixed
with our atmosphere, we should all be
snuffed out like insects. There isn't the
slightest danger, but if there were, the
end would probably be instantaneous
and painless, and would come to all of
US at the same time, so that no one
would ever know anything about it.
Under those circumstances, there is no
reason for worry.
