Mr.. and Mrs. Twombly Leave Orleans.

Mr.. and Mrs. Hendrick Twombly.
who recently sold their residence here
in Orleans. have bought house in
Beebe. Can. (The post-office address
will be Beebe, Vt.) When it becarn
generally known here that thi S
change was to be made, all kindsss of
protests were heard. Having lived
here about thirty-one years, near two
of Mrs. Twombly's brothers and their
families. and making themselves USE
full in the community are some of the
reasons why they should round out
their lives in our midst. 1t is true
Mr.. TwombIy has a brother and
nephews who have a right to desire
his presence with them in Beebe.
Mr.. Twombly worked faithfully at
his trade as stone mason as long as
physically able, thus making himself
useful to those needing his work.
Mrs. Twombly will be greatly missed
by the w. r. G. And surely as a
worker in the Village Improvement
society she has proved herself eff
Gent by greatly helping the band of
faithful workers for the identifying
of our village. AS a member of the
Book and Thimble club she has been
an acquisition, always on the alert
for gathering up items of worth and
of interest along lines of topics Sc
lected for consideration in the club.
By the brush she has produced pic
lures pleasing to the eye. besides
instructing others in oil painting,
thereby giving them an opportunity
to decorate their own walls. Very
decidedly has she borne herself
through sunshine and shade of life
with bright cheerful spirit. little
realizing perhaps that she shed that
sunshiny spirit upon others about her.
So it is with regrets that we see them
leaving our community. We wish
lent to sell out there and return to
Orleans. this their really home place,
they will find a welcome. E.

Congregational Farewell Reception.

A reception was held in honor of
Rev. and Mrs. Grant L. Shaeffer by
the Congregational church on Thurs.
day evening, April Is, a report of
which was Inadvertently omitted last
week. By eight o'clock people were
fast gathering in the audience room
of the church where wraps were re-
moved and few brief moments were
spent in friendly greetings. One
particular note interviewer in the gen.
eral conservation was one touched by
a somber tone of the occasion.
The signal for all to descend to the
vestry was given, and there we
found that during the day willing
workers had transformed the vestry
into large, pleasant living room,
which was adorned by potted ferns Of
various kinds and palm. Large bou-

Everybody's Doing 1t Now.

Practically everybody in Orleans
has been taking advantage of the ex.
cellent fishing weather for the past
week and many fine catches have been
the result. If the state of Maine had
such fishing as is to be found in this
incorporated village the people there
would organize, build big summer
hotel. sell the stock in Vermont and
get the railroads to run excursion
trains. Here we have about one hum
dred rods of good fishing in Willough.
by river with perhaps a dozen good
pools and yet it is probably true that
more good game fish,were caught here
last week than were caught in the
whole of the famous Sebago Lake
during the same period. We hap
pened to see an official bulletin issued
by the General Passenger Agent of
the Boston & Maine railroad, which
gave the weight and number of fish
caught in Sebago lake last week and
that list seemed very insignificant
caught within the limits of the incor-
porated village of Orleans. 1t has
not been unusual to find twenty-five
fishermen on the shores of the river
at five o'clock in the morning on any
cred poor fishing unless at least a
dozen nice rainbow trout are caught
before breakfast. An equal number
are caught during the day and after
working hours at night. The smallest
trout reported has weighed two
pounds and the largest seven pounds
and thirteen ounces. The latte r
makes the seasons record. The larg-
est trout caught here during seasons
past weighed eight pounds and two
ounces. The high record is held by
Carl Wiley and the seasons record to
date is held by Monty Trip. Many
of the local fishermen have caught
more than the legal six pound limi
in one day, the record for a day. 5

pounds. Among those who have ex-
ceeded the limit are Tom Buzzo, A..

dard. Hiram Allen, Harley Clough,
Monty Trip. Wilder 'Joslyn, Carl
Wiley, Clyde Wiley and Mr.. Wells.
These lucky ones were not lawbreak
ers however for having less than six
pounds they were entitled to catch
one more fish. For instance Tom
Buzzo had two fish, small ones weigh
ing two and half pounds each, and
his third one weighed five pounds ;
Monty Trip caught one weighing
nearly eight pounds and Colby Stod-
dard had one weighing four pounds
and caught another weighing three

 FACE BUSY TIME
 DURING HOLIDAYS
Applicants Want to Get In Personal Touch" With Them-Deluge of
 Letters

Atlanta December 21.-(Special.) )-When the congressman come home and most of them are either here or on their l way, there is going to be a merry round Ing up during the holidays on the part of the horde of applicants for political jobs under the coming democratic ad- ministration.
 Most of the Georgia delegation have already been deluged with letters, but it is the ''personal touch that is wanted by the office seekers and they mean to have it.
 The time is getting short-it is but little more than two months before President Woodrow Wilson goes into office-and the pie hunters are determined to put in every possible lick before it is too late.
 The Georgia office seekers are busy rounding up their inducements, and are going to be prepared, each of them, to tell their particular congressman and, perhaps. one of the senators, just why he is the best man for the particular job he is seeking.
 After the holidays there will be little opportunity for conference or eonsulta-
 
 Washington, and it would necessitate a long trip there to see them even for q few minutes conversation
 So, during the Christmas holidays, 1t is the general opinion that slates will be made up and definite decision reached as to most of the new Georgia postmas- ters. as well as those who are to i'll other offices appointive by the president r,1a f,.1 available job, and more good Georgia democrats are confident that they are just natural born postmasters than Carter had oats.
 Just to show how thick they are there are 37 Atlanta and Georgia patriots, all loyal and original Wilson men, who are applicants for a job that doesn't exist any more. The position of surveyor of cus- toms in Atlanta was abolished by the democratic Congress.
 The democrats. in a fit of economy, cut out all the positions of surveyor or customs, except at the ports. Thus the Atlanta job with good emolument goes out of existence the first of next July until which time the present re- publican incumbent. M o. Markham, will hold on. Probably the democratic Congress did not think of demo- cratic administration at the time they abolished these places. Anyhow there are 37 Georgia statesmen who think the democratic Congress acted too soon. There are equally as many or more applicants for the position of collector of internal revenue. now held by Henry $. Jackson, an original Taft man. And there are any number clamoring for the offices of marshal of the northern district of Georgia and district attorney for the same district. But it is said these places have already been slated to go to slick" Thompson of Gaines vile and Hooper Alexander of DeKalb. | respectively. through the influence of Senator Hoke Smith.

ATLANTA PAPERS
 ROAST" THE CITY Visit of Experts to City the
 Cause of Complaint
@TOO MUCH POLITICS"
Herbert R. Sands, Municipal Admin istrati0n Expert, Makes Report On Conditions-Smoke Evil
 But Little Abated

Atlanta, December 21,-(Special)-lt is getting to be quite the thing for the Atlanta papers to roast Atlanta. And yet while developing the roasting habit. they continue to be boosters.
 But the papers of Atlanta have poured out some hot shot recently against con ditions here and it would look to the cas- ual visitor unfamiliar with the local sit nation. as if the Atlanta press had deyel- oped a deep rooted grouch.
 The recent visit here of J. Horace Me Farland the "city beautiful' expert, was made the occasion of portrayal in pub lie print and cartoon of all of Atlanta S natural ugliness. Still it hasn't vet stirred the city government up to spend ing a million or thereabouts to reform municipal appearance. There may be hopes, but there's nothing doing as yet.
 Smoke has eaten mp more space in the Atlanta papers than the proceedings of congress and still il smokes. Cartoon after cartoon, editorial upon editorial, ana ni-editorial news articles, have had no apparent effect; but the papers con tinue to roast the smoke. They finally got a smoke board appointed and a smoke inspector named; but the smoke board wasn't very strong for the enforcement of the ordinance, and the inspector re- signed making charges of graft as he did so. And still it smokes
 Then another expert came through Att lanta. made an inspection and submitted e report. This time is was a sanitary expert, and he says there are conditions in certain sections of Atlanta which can scarcely be compared to the worst of the crowded tenement house quarters of New York, OF the East Side. Living con3i- tions, especially among certain portion f-the negro population, he declared not only a menace to themselves, but to the whites. He said Atlanta ought 10 have enforced sanitation that is where reo- pie are naturally unsanitary and in clined to be so through ignorance, care lessness or neglect, they should be com pelled by ordinance to observe the ordi- nary rules of sanitation.
 But another expert. this time on mu- ncipal nistration-Herbert R. Sands the municipal expert of New York.
 .'roo much politics." was Mir. Sands report in substance although it covered D typewriter pages. IL was made at the instance of the Atlanta Chamber of Com merce. MT. Sands pointed out several places where the system was faulty, and he specially emphasized the fact that politics has played too much of a part in the administration of the city budget
 Just now, too, the papers are ripping up the city engineering department on account Of d number of faulty street pnvements recently laid
 In fact Atlanta's faults appear to have furnished the bulk of the news here for several weeks past. There can be little doubt that the criticisms are just and that considerable renovation is needed l. N <. newspaper boosting has gone-to such ex- tent that it is a subject of commentary. Perhaps 1t will get results; if it does 1t will not have been energy wasted.
