Uphold the Nations Banner high,
Letting Its starry folds float free;
Defend it ever, TIL we die,
At home, abroad, on land or sea.
IT'S ours to cherish and defend,
Where fields are lost or battles won.
And when the Veteran yields his breath
The sacred trust falls on his son.
And through the agrs yet to b.,
From sire to son the message goes.
Uphold this emblem Of the FIRE
Against the hosts Of Freedoms foes.
The guests departed on the afternoon

Years ago the town of Phippsburg was
known far and wide for the size of its

ripgtons and others. At one time when

Maine Political Notes.

In speaking at the Oxford Democratic
county convention at South Paris some
weeks ago, Candidate Plaisted told q
very pleasing story of how the taxes In
Augusta were lower during bis previous
three years as mayor than under Repub-
lican city administration, "and more
permanent improvements made during
those three years than In twenty years
before" The story seemed almost too
good to be true, yet 1t evidently was.
There was, however, another chapter to
1t that he didn't mention. 1t seems that
during his administration the city issued
$50, 900 in bonds for the purpose OF build
ing good roads. Those roads are GER
tainly to be reckoned as permanent I'M
provements, but 1t appears that they
have not been paid for, and the bonds
are now outstanding against the city. In
all the bonded debt of the city was in
creased 100000 during his administra-
ton. It Is to laugh.
