Mrs. Paradis took an appeal from
the sentence, to the January term OF
the superior court and furnished
bonds in the sum of $500 for her ap-
pearance at that time.
The case was the result of seiz-
ure made at the ParadiS home late
Tuesday night by Deputy Marshal
Witham. accompanied by two federal
agents. The officers located about six
gallons of win in glass jugs. several
bottles containing the same kind OF
liquor about 20 gallons OF mash in a
copper boiler, several bottles of home
brewed beer, and other empty bottles
and apparatus.
The case is more or less bound UP
with one against the womans hus-
band. Henry ParadiS. against whom
the grand jury at the September sit
ting returned a secret indictment for
single sale. A warrant is in the hands
of the officers for Paradis' arrest but
as yet he has not been apprehended
After the hearing Wednesday after
noon, it was generally understood
about the City hall that in the event
of Henry Paradis' arrest or his re-
turn to face the charges against him
the case against Mrs. Paradis would
probably be dismissed. with the con-
sent of the county attorney.

will appear in a lecture engagement
at Augusta City hall on the evening
of November %. according to an
announcement made Wednesday

Mnny Names In Every Issue

or course it is possible to record a
news item which does not give the
name of anyone. 1t would be very
difficult however, to compile one of
any length which did not tell Of some
thing that someone had done or was
about to do AS a matter of fact
about every item deals with the doings
of people and contains the name of
one or more individuals. AS to that,
animate things are more interesting
than inert matter Stories about
animals and especially about the ami
NAL called man are the quickest to
arrest and retain attention.
During Libby Pulsifer's college days
he enjoyed, perhaps to a somewhat
unusual extent, the friendship of
President Arthur ]. Roberts Of Colby.
Libby was an expert chauffeur and
President Roberts used to take him
with him on his summer vacations to
Oxford County. Wherever Libby
went the Independent-Repo was
likely to follow him. and in their per-
iod of relaxation from college duties
President Roberts was quite willing
to read Skowhegan,s local newspaper,
although of course many of the peo-
pie and much of the news therein
would be of only casual interest to
him. The recurrence of names
struck him as being somewhat un-
usual and he took. the trouble to count
them. He found that there were 270O
in the single edition which he hap
pened to have at hand at the time
Among SO many it is possible that
some may have been mentioned more
than once, although 1t is the object
of a publisher, ordinarily, not to
publish the same individual twice in
one issue However. that may have
been, it is quite apparent that be-
tween two and three thousand people
were mentioned in the issue which
came to DIR. Roberts attention. Prob
ally a large proportion were or had
been residents of Somerset County.
The exceptions to these would be
jewellers of other counties and other
states, who had recently visited here.

Remarkably Large Number ii Elderly
Residents Back in 1908

On March 26, 1908. practically six
teen years ago, the following inter
esting article appeared in the paper
under the heading, "Skowhegan' s
Honor Roll"
For some time it has been claimed
that tSkowhegan has more people OF
eighty years or more of age within
her borders than any other town of
like size in Maine. With a view to
determining to some extent the truth
of this supposton. the Reporter has
gathered the names of all citizens
eighty or more years old and presents
them below, "a list of more than sew
ehty venerable townspeople. 1t would
be interesting to hear from other COM
munities in regard to this matter, but
IT seems to the Reporter that very
few Maine towns and cities make up
such list of aged residents.

Doubtless there are many local and
Somerset County folks of today who
will recall to memory large percent
age of these elderly people who at the
time of publication had added at least
a decade to the three score and ten
We would be glad to print a list of

county who have attained a like5age.
Can you assist us in this? OF hand 1t
