 There seems to be c general feel ing which may or may not be well based that there is no intention of proceeding with any of the cases, and that even in tho Lawson case, the new trial will result in the dis missal of this indictment also.

Farm Products Ought to Get
Top of Market

When the market for hay, potatoes,
have outside buyers in this territory,
who are somewhat transient in their
business plans Their advent is Il
good thing, if they are strong enough,
financially, to pay for what they get.
They are not, however. restrained in
their dealings by the expectation OF
doing business with the same custo-
mer, continuously, as are the estab-
lished dealers, and transactions with
them ought to be entered into with
somewhat more caution. OF course
they are posted up to the last minute
on quotations and we must look for
them to use this information to their
own profit. They plan on finding
some who have not heard of the ad-
vance or do not know how far it has
progressed. They are usually sue
cessful in this and only recently a
transient potato buyer bought sever
al lots hereabouts for $1.00 when es-
tablished shippers at almost all Som
erset county railroad points were
paying $1.10.
These transient buyers ought to be
encouraged for there is no doubt their
activities tend to keep prices on a
high level However, when we get
proposition from them it would be
well to telephone to the regular deal
er, at the nearest shipping point, for
an offer on the same produce. This
gives opportunity for comparison of
prices and will in many instances be
of advantage to the producer.
With transient buyers there is
somewhat more likelihood that, if the
market goes down. they will neglect
to take the stuff they have bargained
for. An established dealer can
not do this without sacrifice of flu
ture business, and as a matter of fact,
rarely does. Without losing the pos
sibility of dealing with the itinerant
dealers we ought to be sure when we
do business with them that they pay
all that the market will stand.

In Jail. She appealed and left the
court room later returning with John
O'Reilley of Skowhegan and Martin
Munster, who furnished securities for
her further appearance at the Su-
preme Court.
George Munster was arraigned also
on the charge of liquor selling. Like
his predecessors he pleaded not guilty
but from the evidence submitted was
adjudged SO. He is the son of the
proprietor of the Somerset Hotel. His
fine was $50 and costs and 80 days
In Jail with 80 days additional in de-
fault of payment of fine. In some
cases humor was added to the some
what uninteresting details of the tes-
timony by the party asking for an APP
peal prior to any conviction from the
judge. In this case an appeal was
asked for and the sureties named to
insure the same were 5000.
James Morrow was next brought
down from the Jail and faced the
judge. Morrow had previously been
convicted of an offense similar to the
against him on this occasion, that of
selling Intoxicating liquors. He
pleaded not guilty, was fined 5000 and
costs and sentenced to six months in
Jail. The sentence however was to
be' suspended on payment of fine, but

ture were read to him. his brother-in-
law, Virgil King, having testified to
having bought liquor of him in one of
these instances. In one he was fined
$50 and costs and 80 days in Jail, in
aother 5000 and six months in jail,
while the other two warrants were
quashed. He took an appeal from

Probable cause was found and he was

"The Birth of a Nation"

AT first sight it seems incredible
that the production "The Birth OF a
Nation" which will be presented at
the Bijou theatre Jan. 1888 should
have taken such a wonderful hold on
the public No play of any descrip-
ton has visited here in years, if ever
before, that has drawn from the out
set such vast concourses of people,
nor has there ever been such wide
spread comment The latter fact is
one reason for the immense patron
age, for there is scarcely human be-
ing old enough to know anything, but
has heard of 1.-THE Birth of Nation
and has been curious to witness it.
But after viewing the performance,
quite a few reasons are apparent for
its popularity. In the first place II
is the acme of screen spectacles UP
to the present time The groupings
of the various scenes, the training OF
the participants and the realisms OF
the episodes, are marvellous examples
of stage management. while the clear
ness and lack Of Pickering, almost
makes the spectator forget II is not
living. throbbing life that Is being
viewed.
A small army of effect-workers are
employed on the stage, under the di-
rection of one man who by system
OF red aud green light signals the diff
ferent men to start and just when to
stop any given effect. That Is why
the patrons will marvel at the won
derful syncronism OF effects as the
varying scenes are dashed before
them
