The people of Graham are discuss
ing the establishing of a dispensary
in that town for the sale of whiskey.
Those whcs favor the dispensary argue
that Srsb&& is paying heavy toll to
the saloon Keepers of Bluefeld, with
out receiving any of the revenue from
the sale. 1t is not thought, however,
that the temperance folk in Graham
will permit dispensary established
there without hard fight against it.

"wreaths Of white lilies are ranged on the altar
Lilies of Easter In beauty so rare.
lsraeps King In the height Of his glory
Was not arrayed like the lilies go fair.

Lifting their heads

Smiling at sadness, procaiming with gladness
Love Is the conqueror; Death Is no more"
Easter greetings to all our friends.

Appointments by the Governor.

Governor Plaisted on Monday Of last
week announced the appointment Of
George F. Haley OF Biddeford as justice
of the Supreme Judicial Court, to sue
coed Henry C. Peabody Of Portland, re-
Gently deceased. The appointment of
Mr.. Haley had been expected, and meets
with general approval.
At the same time the governor reap
pointed Justice William p. Whitehouse
Of Augusta, whose term is shortly to ex-
pire. Judge Whitehouse, although a
neighbor of Governor Plaisted, is not of
his political party. The reappointment
Of Judge Whitebouse is generally pleas
ing, as he is held in high esteem person
ally and as Judge. He is now so years
of age, and under the provisions OF a law
passed by the legislature this year, he
will be entitled to retire in about year
on half pay. II he does not so retire, he
may serve out his seven-year term, but
can receive nothing from the state after
that.
William +. Pattangsll of Waterville
was appointed attorney general, to sue
coed Cyrus r. Upper, whose resigna-
ton takes effect April 18th. This is 10
accordance with the arrangement made
early in the winter, by which Mr.. Pat
tangall was to retain his seat in the
house so that he might act as the leader
of the Democratic majority, and then
secure the position Of attorney general
to which the legislative caucus nominal
ed him.
Another appointment made at the
same time was that of Frank z. Mace OF
No. 3 Plantation, or Great Pond, to be
forest commissioner and land agent, in
place Of Edgar 4. Ring. Mr.. Ring has
held the Office about ten years, and had
about two years of his term remaining,
but the appointment Of Democrat in
his place is case of the spells to which
the victors are entitled.

Green wood.

What Is this but winter lingering on
the head of April? Three consecutive
mornings with the temperature almost
at zero, six inches more of snow on the
fourth, and now two feet deep in the
woods, thus rendering syrup making
rather an up hill business.
Measles and grippe all about. One Of
the selectmen down with the latter, so
as to be unable to attend to tax making.
Out and at it again this morning.
Frank Brooks moved Amos Barnett
and family of South Bethel to Albert
Felt's in Woodstock, where be has engag-
ed for a year. That brings the two sis
ters together again, as they we're years

daughters of Mr.. and Mrs A. S. Brooks,

Lying on the table is the New York
Evening Journal, giving the details Of
that wholesale murder, and wants to
know IL any one is to be punished for it.
Of course not. The company who own
the great death trap are rich, while the
victims cremated were mostly poor girls,
working for their daily bread; and that
makes all the difference in the world.

For Constipation.
The Medicine That Does Not
Cost Anything Unless it

ZULU
The active medicinal ingredients Of
Rexall Orderlies, which are odorless,
tasteless and colorless, is an entirely
new discovery. Combined with other
extremely valuable ingredients, 1t forms
a perfect bowel regulator, intestinal in
vigorator and strengthened. Rexall
Orderlies are eaten like candy and are
notable for their agreeableness to the
palate and gentleness of action. They
do not cause gripping or any disagreeable
effect or inconvenience.
Unlike other preparations for a like
purpose, they do not create habit, but
instead they overcome the cause of
habit acquired through the use Of
the ordinary laxatives, cathartics and
harsh pb ysic, and permanently remove
the cause of constipation or irregular
bowel action.
We will refund your money without
argument If they do not do as we say
they will. Two sizes, 25c. and 10c
Sold only at our store-The Rexall Store.
