DISPUTE STATEMENT.
That Run Of Martin Was Longer Than
DeHart in Saturdays Game.

Many of those who saw the game
between the elevens Of the Naval Acad-
envy and Pittsburgh University on Sat
urday, dispute the statement that the
run OF Martin, end on the Academy
team, was longer than that of DeHart,
of the Pittsburgh eleven.
They claim shat DeHart received the
ball from the kickoff, os even back Of,
the Pittsburgh goal line. This wodlC
make his run one hundred yards, TO
ninety-fve for the midshipman. The
weight of testimony seems strongly to
iavor this view. and, consequently, it
must be accepted as a fact.

A very pleasant affair was the mar
rage Of Miss Althea q. Stetson to Mr..
Adrian E. Holmes at 2 P. N. Dec. 80, by
Rev. Chester Gore Miller Of South Paris,
at the home of her grandfather, B. F.
Heald, North Buckfleld. The single ring
service was used. Only the immediate
family were present. The bride was
gowned in brown silk, trimmed with
gold lace chiffon and fur, and carried
pink roses. The gown did service as q
wedding gown for her mother twenty.
four years ago. The groom wore con-
ventional black.
Mrs. Holmes is one of our most popu-
lar young ladies. She graduated from
Buck6eld High School in the class Of
1910, attended Pennington Normal
School several terms, and taught num-
Der Of years with good success, being
dearly loved by her pupils.
Mr.. Holmes is graduate Of Bliss Col.
lege, has taught In the grammar school In
Buckfield, and is musician OF consider.
able ability. His kind disposition and
exemplary character make him popular
with all his acquaintances.
Lunch was served In the dining room
Immediately after the ceremony. In
the evening a reception combined with .
shower was rendered them by Mr.. and
Mrs. Washington Hesld and friends at
Grange hall, where the color scheme of
pink and white was carried out In the
decorations. About one hundred Of
their friends gathered and made merry
dancing until late hour. Music was
furnished by Clinton Bisbee, violin. Eu.

To Remove Us from the Map.

There is a persistent rumor, with how
much basis of fact can not be told, that
In the interest of economy the Grand
Trunk Railway is about to curtail its
train service on this division. This cur
tailment, il 10 said, will be in the form
of taking off the two local passenger
trains, No. 4 and No. 5, between Port
land and Island Pond. These trains
leave South Paris going east at 9:4S A.
NJ, and going west at 1886 p. N.
Just at present it Is impossible to
think of any thing that would cause more
trouble In central Oxford County than
the removal of those two trains. The
Inconvenience of it don't need to be
mentioned, they are too plainly sppsr-
eut to every one.
A few years ago the road once actual
" tried the experiment Of taking of
these two trains, and such howl went
up from the public that the arrange
mont lasted just long enough to get new
time tables printed. II the trains are
again taken of, 1t 10 safe to say that
still louder protest will DO made. Ok
ford County has been on the map for
good many years, and ought not be wip-
ed of now.

County Finances.

The County Commissioners held their
regular December session at South Paris
last week and closed up the county
financial matters for the year. Although
two terms Of Supreme Court in the past
year have been more expensive than
usual, a very good showing is made. On
the first of May, as has been before not
ed, the last $1,000 of the Issue OF s3O,OOo
of court house bonds was paid, and 1t
was necessary to make a temporary loan
of only $1,000 to tide over until the new
tax began to come in. The county is
now out of debt.
George w. Walker, who has served
four years of six years term as County
Commissioner, was chosen chairman OF
the board for the coming two years.
The other members are W. II. Eastman
of East Sumner and Don A. Gates OF

Court House Needed at Rumford.

With the growth of the county 1t be-
came evident several years ago that the
court business required one term of
Supreme Court to be held at Rumford
and we now have term of Supreme
Court which sits at Rumford the second
Tuesday of May In each year. In addi-
ton to that there are four terms of
probate court held at Rumford and there
are hearings of the County Commission
ers.
There is no suitable place for the meet.
ing of the Supreme Court In Rumford
and the court has been moved about
from one hall to another and no perma.
nent place provided. The county Is
obliged to pay considerable sums for
rentals for these inadequate accommo-
dations for the Supreme Court and for
the Municipal and Probate Court. The
judges find great deal Of fault every
term In regard to the accommodations
and 1t Is evident to all that something
should be done to afford reasonable
accommodations for the Supreme Court.
Coos County In New Hampshire is a
large county similarly situated to OK.
ford, and has three court houses.
AroOstook County has two court houses,
one at Houlton and one at Caribou. The
present inadequate accommodations at
Rumford for the court must be remedied
and we believe that the one thing which
the Oxford delegation in the legislature
should do this winter above all Others Is
10 see that law Is enacted which wonld
furnish q suitable court building at Rum
ford. 1t would not be necessary or ad.
visable to provide for Jail or for the Of
fees of the Clerk of Courts, Register Of
Deeds or the Register Of Probate at Rum.
ford. These are adequately provided for
by the court house and Jail at Paris and
M change should be made In the pres
ent arrangements OF court at Psria,. but q
building should be provided at Rumford
where the Supreme Court could be- held
in respectable way and where accom-
modations could be given to the officers
of the court and people who attend and
d. business at court.
This Is crying necessity and one
which calls for action. We trust that
the citizens of the county generally may
consider the matter seriously and assist
In this work. Attention Is called to a
notice In this paper inviting the citizens
of Oxford County to meet at the court
house at South Paris to talk this natter
over on the nineteenth OF January,
which lie the regular probate court day,
and to discuss plans looking to action
along this line. The county Is now en-
tirely out of debt and can we'll afford to
take up this necessary work.
