Two Interesting Curios on
Exhibition in This City.
Earl Hobbs Is Expected by H.
H. s., Capt. Of Football.
Local and Personal Items Are Gath.
cred About the City.

On exhibition in the window OF
Willis Shoe store, are two revolvers
one extremely large, and one extreme
ly small. They are the property of
Harold C. Fuller of this city. The first
is A calibre Remington, made in 1858.
The revolver has a 10-inch barrel, its
extreme length being about Is inches.
1t has seven chambers which are muZ-
zle loading, and at the butt-end of
each, is a device to hold the printing
caps, similar to that used on old
fashioned Misunderstanding shotguns, al
though much smaller. The cylinder
does not revolve automatically as on
modern revolvers. and it was neces-
sary to turn it around before firing,
each time. The revolver was carried
by Capt John Freeze, during his SER
vice in the Civil War and is probably
one of the first of its kind that was
manufactured.
The second, however, is as small as
the first is large, and may be termed
la "gentleman's gum. 1t is guaged
for % calibre shot, and its extreme
length is not over inches 1t is sin
gle shot. and it can be concealed in
an exceedingly small space. The pis-
tol was made about the same time as
the other.

Carleton p. Merrill, chairman of the
Republican county committee, issued
a call, Tuesday, for a conference to
be held in Grand Army hall. Friday
forenoon. He has sent the following
letter. which will be of interest to
citizens throughout the county.
Il am taking the liberty of calling
a conference of members of Repub.
lican town committees, together with
others whom you might like to ask to
be present, TO meet at Grand Army
hall, Skowhegan. Friday forenoon,
Sept. 10, at IL o'clock. The meeting
is called for this day because it is
The Big Day of the Somerset County
fair, when many of you will be in
town anyway.
THE purpose of the meeting is that
we may confer with one another and
make such recommendations towards
organization of our town and
county committees as may seem prop
er and just, and that we may make
united effort to see to it that so far
| as Somerset county is concerned no
| reasonable ground for a divided party
can exist.
You cannot do less for your party
and for the best interests of a clean
honest and active party organization
| than to be present at this conference
and TO urge other members of your
| committee and Republican and Pro-
gressive friends to come with you.
"A little sacrifice and effort on your
part at this time will be highly APP
preciated.'
