After covering up their garden stuff
carefully for two or three nights, lot
of people got caught unawares Friday
night, when we had the second touch of
frost for the season. Ii was not enough
TO cut off corn, so far as heard from, but
iu many gardens put finish to squashes
and beans, and other very tender plants.
Sunday night there was another light
frost, which may have touched the corn
a little. While corn has heavy stand,
much of it still needs two or three weeks
of good weather, and it is in rather q
precarious situation.
Saturday evening a special train was
run to lewiston, where Alton e. Wheeler
spoke at Progressive rally In City Hall.
II was a free ride for all, provided by

IT'S were carried from South Paris and
intermediate stations, leaving South
Paris at 6 O'Clock. An Oxford Bear from
Nash's was taken along, aud at Lewiston
the train was met by the Brigade Band
and the party marched to the hall, &C
panied by a second bear and bull
moose which were prov ded in Lewiston.
The train returned after the meeting.
Quite an excitement Friday when .
pair of horses left standing with a hay
rack load of barrels in the Square ran
away up High Street. In fifteen Sec
onds there were more people looking up
the street at that team than had been
seen in an hour before. Several men
waved their hands and shouted in front
Of the horses, but as they were not in
politics and not accustomed to being
stesm-rolled, they got out OF the way
seasouably, and the horses kept on.
One man caught on to the rear end of
the rack, but it looked like such rough
road up over that high load Of barrels to
where the reins were hooked at the
front that he concluded to drop off.
However, this is a long story for short
matter. The horses were stopped near
the lower end of the park. No damage.
