Two pieces of real estate in South
Paris have been sold "as far a. talk
goes'' within the past few days, but as
the papers have not been made the
Democrat has been requested not to de- |
scribe them. We make mention of the |
matter because the sales will probably |
be reported in other papers which are
not under the handicap of censorship,
and we don't want our readers to think |
IL is because We are not enterprising or |
alert that the Democrat didn't "get 1t
first"

After congratulating ourselves that
spring was on the way, We dropped back
into midwinter Sunday. A regular
old fashioned northeast snow storm"
giving rs eight or ten inches on top OF
what we had before-no "sap snow"
either, but snow as dry and powdery
az If Ii were the middle of January in
stead of the tenth Of March. The tenn
perature also Was quite midwinter- like,
ranging from IS to 10 above during the
day. The travelling had been getting
down to about the best condition for the
winter, but now 1t is all blocked up
again.
A number of local people who told Of
seeing the form Of an eagle In the dis
play of aurora Thursday evening were
the object of more or less satirical re-
marks about "seeipg things at night"
or words TO that effect from those OF us
who didn't perceive the semblance. Re
ports from distant points seem to justify
the observers who discovered the like
ness. From the region Of the great
lakes and Ontario the story 10 told of
seeing the eagle. II the aurora with Its
blood red is taken by the superstitious
TO be an omen Of the coming months OF
war, at least the figure Of the American
eagle emblazoned on the sky may also
be taken as . heartening portent. In
fact, of course, the phenomenon has less
relation to the war than the coming OF
the first pussy Willows.
