excited the other day when lf-year-
old boy, who said his name was Harris
arrived and asked concerning trans
portation to Garland. ON learning that
the stage did not leave until the next
morning. he appeared greatly troubled,
The pity of Il gentleman was excited
for he had noticed that the lad APP
peared ill., was poorly clothed and APP
parently not we'll nourished. He made
arrangements for the young Harris to
stay over night with a family, and dur
ing the night the boy became i'll and a
doctor was summoned. 1t was found
that he had frozen one of his feet ana
was then suffering from blood poisoning
as a result. \ few hours later the
boys father arrived, causing the latter
to become terrified, so the Dexter peo-
pie say and the doctor promptly for
bade the removal of his patient. the
man claimed that his son had left
home because he thought he was over
worked, and that the neighbors had
given him sufficient money to leave
town. In the opinion of Dexter peo-
pie, however. the youngster has been
very much i'll treated.
Livermore Falls citizens are greatly
disturbed, and are making the disturb
ance more than town wide because they
say, the prohibitory laws are being
fagrantly violated there and at CHS
holm. 1t is alleged that liquor is be-
ing dispensed openly in as many as 80
places in the two villages. Last
Sunday morning at the Universalist
church Rev. James Tillinghast stated
to his congregation that he has been
informed there arr IS places in sight of
his residence on Richardson avenue,
where liquor is being sold in violation
of the law. Said well known citizen,
AT the present time, since Governor
Plaisted has failed thus far to appoint
a successor for Judge r. c. Boothby
of the Livermore Falls municipal court,
the officers felt disposed or We're called
upon to enforce the law, it would be
impossible to obtain a warrant in East
Livermore or Leeds, and such conGii-
ton of affairs is not conclusive to good
order. Certain it is, if Sheriff Lowe
doesn't take a hand in affairs here
soon, the better element in town will
have to-
Wild geese. bluebirds, robins. song
sparrows and crows-all are reported.
We cannot think of any other sweet
singers of spring that thus far have
been announced.
The Deer Isle Messenger says: A
very interesting stone is now ready to
be placed over the grave of the late
Mrs. Salome Sellers, al Sunset. ttAunt
Salome," as she was always called,
died at the age of 10S years. She was
one of the bestowed persons in this
town, and this memorial is very
gratifying to our townspeople. 1t is
the work, as well as the gift, of Abel
Hosmer a native of Deer Isle, but now
of oakland, Cal, and, as he has said.
is tribute from the shores of two
oceans, the Atlantic and the Pacific.
The tablet, suitably inscribed, is of
granite from the Raymond granite
quarries in Madeira county, Cal, of
which Mr.. Hosmer is one of the own
ers and operators. The base. which
supports it, is of granite from
China, and the foundation stone in
which it will be set will be granite
taken from a quarry near Aunt Sa-
lome's birthplace and girlhood home at
Stonington. The whole, when placed,
will be about five feet in height. Mrs.
Sellers was the daughter of Edmund
Sylvester, one of the original settlers
of Deer Isle. who came here about 1888.
She was born Oct. Is. 1900. and died on
Jan. 9. 1909. She was descendant of
MayfiOwer Pilgrims, and real Daugh-
ter of the Revolution.
