Here is an item from the Brunswick
Record that is indicative of what is going
on all over Maine:
John A. Beals of this town has bought
fourteen acres on the Sampson place in
Bowdoinham and set out 800 apple trees.
The entire tract has been plowed up, and
potatoes will be planted there this season
with the idea of epriching the land, be-
sides producing marketable crop.
The Louisville 7 ines says man is
failure
When he tries to rule others by bully
ing. instead of by example.
When he envies others because they
have more ability, talent or wealth than
he has.
When he does not care what happens
to his neighbors or to his friends so long
as he is prosperous.

ergies to the election of legislature

improved farm machinery, and suggest
that all who can do so should avail them
selves of the opportunity to see the dem
onstrations to be made in these lines.

Congress. Now it has four, and at the
next apportionment may have this num-
Der reduced to three. If Congress should
decide to continue the present ratio of
1874, 1872 the most liberal possible action,
the membership of the House would be
increased to 459. Under that apportion
ment no State would lose member and
thirty-four would gain. Only twelve
States would remain statlonary-Arkan
sas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware,
Idaho, Iowa. Maine, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Hampshire, Vermont and Wyoming.

The Journal office last Thursday had
been reading the reports of the Memorial
exercises in different places in the State
and expressed the opinion that the OBJ

and the addresses of higher order than
