LOWER CABOT.

In looking over an ancient county
map published by a New York COM
pany and sold extensively in 1858
through his county, it is interesting
to note that in the town OF Cabot
which at that time had a population
OF about 1900 not a man lives or oc-
cupies the same farm or residence
where ne resided at that time and out
l6 OF the places are occupied by any
OF The descendants of the ones that
occupied them in 1858. At that time
there We're 1913 farms in town and 6S
stands in the village. This was 20
years ago, during which time Uhe
whole population OF the town has
changed. The farms have all chang
ed hGnds, others are abandoned; the
buildings torn down or gone to des-
truction.
At the annual town meeting in
March the overseer of the poor was
instructed to make some needed re-
pairs on the poor house by putting
in bath room, paintng and paper
ing, etc, 1t was also voted to pay up
the United States deposit fund whioh
Ms $3.50, which is invested in THE
town farm by using the cemetery
finds at per cent. This interest is to
be used in care of the lots each year

presence of a number of his friends
at a shack on the Mortified road
Saturday evening, accidentally shot
himself through the left foo. Later
he was taken to Heaton Hospital
where he was attended by DR.. Edwin
A. Cotton, who dressed the wound
which, while not serious enough to
endanger his life, was very painful.
DR.. Cotton removed the bullel. yes

The revolver used by young DEM

of ancient origin and the boy, not
knowing it was loaded, was explain.
ing to his chums the intricacies of its
mechanism, when it suddenly ex-
ploded, sending many frightened
boy running into the street. For a
moment or two the shack was practi-
cally deserted. In a moment the
boys scattered senses were collect
ed. excitement somewhat subsidized
and the suggestion that doctor be
sent for was instantly carried into
effect.
1t lis said that the Deming boy
handled the weapon rather careless
ly, believing that inasmuch as 1T had
not been used for such a length Oi
time it was unloaded When the re-
volver was in its prime it bore a
striking resemblance to very big
noise and still possesses considerable
horse power, as was evidenced by
the fact that when it exploaded Sat

great distance.
No complications are feared from
Demng's wound and the chances are
that he win be as well as ever in q

say that the former won out in the
| first minute of the play The second
half opened up when the dishes were
cleared away and the smoke began to
curl up in a score of long streams
toward the ceiling. Then Mr.. Browns
combe arose and in short talk well
coming those present, the players, the
members of the faculty, the officials
and the scribes, and made new prop

gave synopsis of the seasons work
and in the name of the five thanked
