SOME RVILLE.

SOUTH-The people of South Somer-
Vile and vicinity are delighted with
the automobile service between Angus
Ia and Rookland. The business has so
increased that an extra car has been
put on to the line. The people are so
enthused over the idea of having the
automobile service. that they are in
hopes the road commissioners will get
busy and put the roads in better con
dition There has been some talk OF
putting freight ear on, only for this
one objection. The roads are extreme
lY narrow and very dangerous in plac-
es. especially through South Somer-
vile and portion of West Washing
ton There are many bushes which
need TO be cut down around the bends
so as to give the teams as well as the
automobiles a chance to see ahead or
them. We are in hopes this aatomo-
bile service is to lay the foundation
for am electric road. Anyway. at pres
ent the prospects look very bright for
such. and the road commissioners
ought to put every effort forward to-
ward helping TO gain the day.

and for Henry II. Payson.
Unnecessary Ballots Sent Out.
The city clerk testified that about
$50 ballots We're issued to Ward 3. Only
the first set was sent out.
Where is the second set?" asked
Atty Williamson.
II disposed of them 10 E. r. Spear
q Co. for junk. They were never used.
More than three times as many ballots
as necessary We're sent to us"
What became of the unused bal
lots"
They We're placed in an envelope

Justice Spear-"How does the total
number of votes returned by the ward
clerk compare with the total number
of ballots cast?"
city Clerks Seventeen more ballots
We're counted in the returns than

The next question asked by Atty.
Williamson was a somewhat startling
one. Mind you, / don't say that this
did happen or suggest that anybody
would do such thing, but if the re-
turn of Al votes cast for Bucklin,
which is manifestly an error, had been
transposed to IA, and someone had Sc
cured access to the ballots and taken
away 10 votes from Bueklin and
marked them for Mr.. Head. would you
not get the correct number of ballots
cast?"
No one replied and Atty. Williamson
went on to bring out that the number
of votes recorded for the other can
didates was correct so far as the reg
lister of probate nomination was cno-
cerned aud that no discrepancy was
disclosed in the Democratic vote for
county attorney, when examined by
the two candidates for that office, Mr..
Howard and Mr. Emery.

The contest over the Democratic
nomination for register of probate of

for final determination and the form
of the statute provided for such ac-

VASSAL BoRO.

An interesting meeting was held.
Friday afternoon, at the Methodist
church at East Nassalboro, under the
auspices of the District Sunday School
Association of the towns of Vassal
boro and Windsor.
This association was organized about
a year ago with Rev. L. q. March as
president, Mrs Elan Henderson, sec
rotary and treasurer. 1t is affiliated
with the county and State organiza-
tions. A very helpful conference was
held in March at North Vassalboro.
at which plan was started for a
house to-house canvass of the towns
of Vassalboro and Windsor. At the
meeting. on Friday, representatives
from five churches made more definite
plans for such a canvass in the near
fture.
The town of Vassalboro has 1000
inhabitants. With eight Protestant
and one Catholic church, not over half
the people attend church or Sunday
school.
1t is hoped that by the concerted
action of all the churches, the church
preferences of all the people may be
learned, and as n result that all peo-
pie may be given some pastoral care.
The committee in charge of the work
earnestly desires that all members of
the churches in these towns interest
themselves in this work, and heartily
cooperate with the committee in max
ing it a success Further information
will be given soon.
