1915, 4,730 were of infants under l
years of age, 2,242 we're aged one to
FIVE, and 7,545 were 65 years of age
and over.

secure the arrest and conviction of
those responsible for this neglect Of
duty.

renowned the faith of the Rev. Sand
ford. The children Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bailey dropped the faith some time
ago, but their parents up until this
week had occupied one of the Shiloh
farms and had been welcomed at the
various meetings held there, but these
meetings were never attended by their
children. 1t is believed that the Baileys
left their home some time Thursday,
being Joined by other Shilohites at the
Lisbon Falls station.
Gradually the followers of Sanford
are leaving, and it is estimated that
fully 1000 have sought other environ-
ments during the present winter, thus
bringing the membership of the society
down to the low mark Of 400. Those
now in Shiloh claim that there are
fully 500 or more there, but the fore
going facts were furnished by one who
claims to be in communication with
happenings on the Hilltop
Conditions at Shiloh are claimed to
be as severe as ever, and the same
spirit of unrest that has been evident
for some weeks past continues to be
manifested. asSis apparent by the re-
cent departures Of many Of the disci-
pies Of Sandfordism. Provisions of
every sort are scarce and there is lit
tie indication Of any relief being in

Valiant partisan though he was, and
uncompromising Democrat, he never
harbored hatred for an honest foe nor
did he long remember seeming faults
