No, much like summer for the past

come out, and this cold weather doesn't
seem to be good for them.
Vow don't get up about the time the
darkness Of the night begins to soften a
H,ss. and look out in the southeast, and
then % and tell your neighbor that you
have seen the comet, and il looks about
Ike an arc light mile away. There is
brilliant point of light in the south
eastern sky at that time of day, but it is
pe,uing more nor less than our sister
plaEet Venus. Halley's comet is some
where in that vicinity, but it won't ap-
pear TO the unaided eye just yet.

Tuesday IS the great spring holiday,
Patriots Day. The schools, banks,
stores, etc, will be closed, outside win
dows will come off and other spring

everybody as far as possible will get out
and get a luugful of fresh air. The Paris
High school ball team will open the sea-
son with game with Bryauts Pond at
the high school grounds. Shagg Pond,
which mas been clear OF ice for more
than week, will doubtless receive a
visit from some of the South Paris
colony who frequent its shores during
the summer, and it is within the limits
Of possibility that some one may catch
salmon there.
10 is unfortunate that il must be said,
and really 1t isn't professional to say it,
but the Democrat does once in a great
while make a statement which needs to
be corrected, not because of any inten-
tioual misstatement, but purely from
error. The application of which re-
mark is in the fact that the Democrat
last week mentioned the first use of the
split log drag on the Paris roads as hav
ing been made this spring. As fact, 1T
seems, it has been in use two years. The
Democrat is perhaps excusable for the
error as the implement has been used
50 little during previous years-certain!y
not a third as much as il might have
been 10 advantage.
