AS to Pronunciation of Some Towns

An interesting article in Boston pa
per on the pronunciation of Maine town
names says of one town:
The capital Of Maine IL almost universally re-
ferred to In Maine as Aw.gus-ty.
Not "almost universally" perhaps,
though far too frequently. But to get
the full effect of the pronunciation which
some give it, the spelling should be
A.a-w-gusti, or O.o-r-gusti.

nd here is what tho same article SAYS

And here is what tho same article says
about the Queen City:
Both Worcester and Webster declare that
Bangor Is pronounced Bang gor, with the accent
on the Bang, but about all the people there cut
the corner on that first and make the WORD just
Bangor.
And "about all the people there"
seem to be correct in that. Whatever
Worcester and Webster say about 1t, the
Standard makes the word Bangor with
out suggestion of Bang. But here
are few variations which you may pick
up in going about the state: Bangor
with the accent on the Bang, la Web
ster and Worcester, Bang-gaw with the
accent likewise on the Bang, and Ban
cor with the accent on the gor.

won out, such bad scare that they were
compelled to make concessions to the

the boss element. In consequence an
attempt was made to appease the clamor
