There was some comment at the time
of our recent primary over the fact that
the enrolment did away with the secrecy
ensured by the Australian ballot, and one
or two who refused to make their party
preferences known did not vote. 1t ap-
pears that this issue has been raised else
where. The Boston Globe of Friday last
said:
A strong case in support of the aboli-
ton of party enrolment at the primary
was made at the hearing at the State
House yesterday. Public sentiment is
favorable to the change proposed. The
Australian ballot on election day assures
secrecy to the voter, but under our pres
ent primary law the party preference
must be disclosed. This is condition
not at all consonant with the secrecy as
sured at the election. The primary
should be as untrammeled as an election.
1t has been charged against the pro-
hibitory law that it creates hypocrisy;
but that is nothing to the hypocrites and
liars created under the Australian ballot
system. It is astonishing how many
vote a ticket they are ashamed to &C.
knowledge, or publicly claim to belong to
a party while voting regularly for the
opposing party.

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by local applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One. Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can

The following item is from the East
port correspondence of the Bangor
News:
Not for many moons has this city been
so dry as at the present time; few, if
any, of the places where intoxicating
liquors were sold in the past are now
offering any liquor for sale. Those who
have supply of tobacco and cigars on
hand are disposing of the same, while
many other places have closed up entire
ly and the proprietors gone out of the
business. The severe sentences melted
cut to the offenders at the January term
of court by Justice Hanson has had the
desired effect, and although Deputy
Sheriff Dow is still on his job there is
little or no work for him to do.
This illustrates what may be accom-
pIished when judge of our highest
court does his duty. We have seen in
this county cases against notorious Of
tenders mol pressed by order of the court
after they had been indicted, tried and
convicted, and even when they had plead
guilty. The officers had done their duty,
the grand Jury had done its duty, with
nothing to show for it but bill Of ex-
pense.

The Portland Evening Express in an
article on a recent electric railway deal
speaks of the probable extensions to
follow in Central Maine but makes no
mention of the proposed line from Bel
fast to Camden, which should, and no
doubt will, be built and supplemented by
a line from Belfast to Bangor. This
shore line would be of great benefit in
building up one OF the best sections of
the Maine coast for summer residences.

"Tis Curtis Yager farm, four miles

acre. 1t had never before sold for
more than SIS per acre.
John 4. Lee bought the G.. Cor
don farm, two and one-half miles
from Shelbyville, for $50 an acre.
This was an increase of over 100 per
cent, for it had never sold for SIS
an acre before.
THE Mathew farm, adjoining the
above and three miles from Shelby
vile, sold for $40 an acre, and was
soon afterward sold by the purchaser
for 5000 an acre. Both deals in the
past three months.
"The William Crabster farm, five
miles west of Shelbyville, was sold
recently to j. Il. Maddox at S125 an
acre. 1t had sold not long before
for $50 odd per acre. Strange to
say it has not been very long since
this self-same farm sold for S27 an

There is another farm of 225
acres four miles west of ShelbyviIle
for which the owner recently re-
fused $165 an acre. Berore the cleo.
trio road was started the farm sold
at SAT an acre.
'Most of the above farms are in a
part of the county where land never
before sold as high as SIS an acre.

values is noted all along the lines
from Shelbyville to Louisville"

land owners alike are standing in
