Ye Town Scandal.

Last night I went
To hear the concert
And got q seat
On the downy grass
Where I could lie.
And relapse from a day.
OF mental strain
And hear the music
And then and there came.
A bunch OF eight.
Young men and women
Not much over twenty.
And they sat close to ma
And all the time.
The band was playing.
They giggled and laughed
And talked and played
And rolled on the grass.
And threw Il at each other.
And made so much noise.
That I had to give up.
Ny choice vantage point
And move away.
To a more quiet spot
Now I love TO see
The joys OF youth
And am not an old crotch
But I'm very sure
That when a person laughs.
And talks and plays.
While Nthe band is playing.
He cannot hear.
And does not want to hear.
What the band is playing
Therefore those dear.
Young men and girls
Merely wanted 70 laugh.
And talk and play.
And so I say.
To such dear young folks
II you want to talk.
And laugh and play.
On concert nights
Please keep away.
From Cleveland Square.
And 90 way up.
On the Mesa where.
You can talk and sing.
And laugh and play.
And not disturb.
The rest OF Us.
Who want to hear.
The music
II you will do this.
I will thank you.

DISPUTE OVER LINE
= ,o Eluroo lived In Trmberlnnd
I " OF Missisquoi Co. Against
Lowell Man

st Albans, Sept 29.-The case now on
trial 10 Franklin county court before
Judge Zed 8. Stanton and jury is OF un
usual interest and importance. The case
Is that of the Misssquoi Pulp & paper
company VS. Sheldon Springs against
Mahlon Tillotson of Lowell.
The issue in this case il the location of
the line between tlmberlands owned bv
the Mlssisquoi Pulp 81 Paper COMPANY in
Montgomery and of Mahlon Tillotson in
Lowell. Both sides claim to own to the
range line between ranges II and 1s in
what used to be the town of Lowell. In
1858 the Legislature surveyed off so much
Of the land in the old town of Lowell as
lay west Of the range line between II and
1s, thus relocating In the town of Mont.
gomery whole range of lots which for
rnerly belonged to Lowell
From the testimony thus far introduced
It would appear the original town line new
er had been marked by surveyors on the
land and since 1880 when John Webster
made survey there for ]. g. Hutchins.
the then common owner of lands both
sides of the line. there have been marked
out on the land parts of four different
lines in the same general neighborhood
supposedly TO locate the range line
The title of both the plaintiff and the
defendant comes down from J. Q.
Hutchins and apparently the plaintiff is
attempting to show that the defendant
has cut over the line established by j. c.
Hutchins on lots 3, S, and IL In range IS
of the present town of Montgomery and
the defendants lots are all located in the
town Of Lowell. Thus indirectly the line
between these two towns Is in dispute
At the present stage of the case maps
made by John Webster showing that the
town line runs along the height of land
so as to make the plaintiffs lots slope
westward and the defendants lots slope
eastward, have been much relied upon by
the plaintiff They have not yet stated
exactly what location they relied upon.
| F. H. Dewart, civil engineer. of Burling-
! ton. testified for the plaintiff that he had
run study line from which he ascer-
tanned and identified the location on the
ground of the Webster line run in 1880. and
that he found a more modern line about
II years old run easterly thereof up to
which cutting of timber appeared to have
been made from the Lowell side westward.
From the cross-examination it was APP
parent that the defendant claims this line
is the true line and that he cut right UP
to it and no farther.
The value of the timber cut has not been
fully shown yet but at the present time
1t appears that the plaintiff is claiming
by its writ $4,000.
Blocks taken from trees representing
surveyors blazes made at different peri
ods have been produced and testified
about.

Over and Over Again, the Cadillac
Proves Its True Greatness

be utterly Unwilling to run the
risk of losing that satisfaction?
1t is a source of intense pride to
the Organization that has cease
Iessly striven for seventeen years
to intensity the dependability Of
the Cadillac, to see how large
part it plays in the owners salts
faction.
All over America, tens of thou
sands of American women start out
day after day, with serene conf
dence that the Cadillac will carry
them to their destination-be it
near or far-without a moments
cause for worry.
In this simple fact alone-that so
many thousands of women de-
pend upon it implicitly--is perhaps
the strongest evidence that can be
educed that the Cadillac is the
truly great car it is considered the
world over.
