No Shoe Factory In Prospect.

There is at present no definite pros
pect that a shoe factory will be built
and run in South Paris. The proceed
ings at the meeting Of the Board of
Trade last Monday evening settled that.
The proposition as made to the village
involved the formation OF a manufacture
ing corporation in which q portion Of
the stock was to be subscribed for local
ly. Report made by the committee who
had been to Lynn indicated that no ma
terial change in the form of the PROPOSE
ton could be made. While the opinion
was generally expressed that conditions
might be met II all that was wanted was
the building of a factory to be leased
and sufficient banking accommodations,
the sentiment seemed to be universal
that the citizens would not consider be-
ing involved in the conduct Of the bust.
ness. Therefore the incident was prac-
tically closed, and is not likely to be
again opened unless 1t should be posi-
BILE for the parties to come with differ
ant propositiOn.

vocal selections were very pleasing, and
he was liberal with his encores. There
were also solos BY Miss Jessie Tolman,
with tambourine accompaniment by
George Soper, and by Mrs. Herman vii.
son with violin obligato by Miss Grace
Dean. An orchestra OF ten pieces rem
dered 4ne music and were forced to play
several encores before the audience

George Clegg, Wesley Hammond, vic.
Inns; Frank Kimball, Philip Jones, cor
nets; Howard Shaw, clarinet; Harold
Merrill, trombone; Ray Newton, flute;
George Soper, drums.
William Cutter of Portland, Grand
Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Maine,

and gave short and forcible talk on
what the order had accomplished, what
1t is doing at the present time and the
principles on which Ii was founded and
has ever existed. There were also re.
marks by Rev. A. T. McWhorter and
Rev. e. |. Spear, and prayer by the lodge
chaplain, j. j. Merrill.
After the program was completed re-
freshments of ice cream, cake and fancy
crackers were served and q social time

ton than at the present time, and when
