man says, after trying it: 81 was almost
blind; could not see to read at all. Now
can read everything without any
glasses and my eyes do not water any
more. At night they would pain dread
fully: now they feel fine all the time. 1t
was like a miracle to me-" A lady who

hazy with or without glasses, but after
using this prescription for fifteen days
everything seems clear. l can even read
fine print without glasses" 1t is be-

Petition Circulating to Retain
EStey as Street Commissioner

Among the troubles Of the incoming
administration will be the question Of
street commissioner. The faithful can
see no reason why the job should not \
to some worker in the party, but there
are a large number of people in the city.
Democrats and Republicans alike, who
are looking for efficiency and who say
that, having found a thoroughly efficient
man in A. D. Estey. the present street
commissioner, he should be retained A
petition is being circulated in the city
and will, it is understood. be presented at
the meeting of the city government ask
ing that he be retained. 1t is pointed out
that City Engineer Crawford, Demo-
cratic appointee, was retained by me
Republicans, as it was felt that he was
the most efficient man available in the
city for the place. His efficiency and
ability. like that Of Mr. Estey. had been
proved and he was retained. and 1t is
felt that the same thing should be done
IN the case of Mr. Estey by a great many
people.

\ Herman e. Davidson

Herman E. Davidson. manager of the
Waterville Bicycle Co., died Wednesday
morning following a shock which he sus-
tanned in his place of business about a
week ago. He had not been feeling well
I for some months and during the early
winter visited friends and relatives in
Boston for some time, but even after he
experienced the shock it was not thought
: he was in danger of death, and it came
as an unexpected shock to his many
friends in the city. He is survived by no
near relatives as far as is known here
but has some cousins in Boston. They
have directed that the body be shippe j
to them for burial in the family lot. It
is probable that a funeral service will
be held Friday at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. B. Holland where he had lived
for a number of years, and that the re-
mains will then be sent to Boston.

ROADS LEADING TO CITY
REPORTED IN BAD SHAPE

The people coming in from outside re-
port that the storm of Monday made the

drifted more than any storm this winter.
In some places the snow is six and seven
feet deep over the roads and people are
wondering what they are going to do
when it really begins to melt and gets so
soft that the horses will sink into it as
they go along. One man who comes t.
the city every week said that he expected
there would be a time when the roads
would be simply impossible. He is look
ing forward to five or six weeks of deep
snow and deeper mud when it will be out
of the question to drive heavy team
over the road and hard proposition to
drive a light one.
