A HAPPY CHRISTMAS
FOR SK0WHEGAN
Santa Claus Will Visit
Town In Person
Telegram From Reindeer Land, Head
quarters Will be In Mcclellan
Block

Good news for Skowhegan people.
We have just received word from
Santa Claus that he is coming here
to make us a real visit this year.
Each year Santa visits in person and
in daylight some one town; sort of
makes that town his headquarters for
the Christmas season. How happy
all our folks will be to know that he
has selected this place this year The
last time he was here is beyond the
recollection of the Oldest living in
habitant In fact it is doubtful if
there were any white men here at
that time. OF course there are so
many different places in the world
for Santa to visit in this way that he
cannot visit any one place more than
once in a thousand years or so at the
least You will want to read Santa S
telegram so we copy it here:

Yours for happiness.


The above telegram explains itself
It means that so many of us who
have never seen Santa Claus are to
have that opportunity this year We
had intimated to some friends that
Santa Claus might possibly come this
year and the news had spread to
others. According to the inquiries
as to his coming there is no question
but what young and old alike are
enthusiastic over the prospect The
telegram was just received this
morning before going to press so we
cannot give many particulars this
time but watch out for next week s
Independent-Repor and the other
issues before Christmas. We will
publish bulletins each week about
the matter to keep you posted and
also tell you about the plans that are
being made to entertain Santa while
