The governor of Arkansas, who pardoned a negro criminal convicted of assault with intent to kill, on condition that he should thereafter reside in Massachusetts, bears the name of Jeffer son Davis. Governor Davis should have known better. There is little enough respect for his name in the country now; lie shouldn't do anything to make it any worse. Admiral Sampson is dead. Whatever of bitterness has developed in connection with his name in the unhappy contro versies of the past few years will largely disappear at his grave, and history will give him such place as he rightfully de serves for his services in the United States Xavy. Mr. Carnegie's benefactions are reck oned now as footing up about $67,000,000. As he must have something like $200, 000,000 more to go the same way, it will readily be seen that he is now only about three-fourths in danger of dying disgraced. But it is likely to b^. a number of years yet before the danger is eutirely removed. Some are complaining because the won! "dato," now in use in consequence of our Philippine acquisition, is trans formed into "datto," without any ap parent reason, in the press of the coun- 1 try. Well, that is an instance of our ' provincialism, or, if the term is pre ferred, insularity, which we may some time outgrow to a degree. We take words transplanted from jther languages < and fix them over to suit our fancy, in an independent American way which 1 may be refreshing, but is nevertheless a extremely provincial. "Bronco," for > instance, a Spanish word which we have ' adopted, has without reason been trans- 1 formed to "broncho," so that the cor- ' rupted form is used by some of the best ί publishing houses and is recognized by 1 the dictionaries. It is probable that Senator M. A. Hanna of Ohio will be present and a speak at the Kepublican state couven- - tion in Portland June 11th. second District nepuo'ican convention Will be held in City hall.

The Squash Bugs beat by a score of 20 to 2. In the after uoon the Paris Hill Juniors played the South Paris Second, and again victory perched on the Paris Hill banner, by a score of 13 to 12. The first part of the gaine up to the fifth inning looked easy for South Paris, but Paris Hill climbed up in the sixth. X. Cummings rapped out a single and started the scoring.

The concert given Tuesday evening by Prof. Wight and chorus assisted by the -Schubert Quartette was a marked suc cess and was greatly enjoyed by the many who attended. That the quartette was fully appreciated was shown by the many encores which it received. The Universalist entertainment passed off in an agreeable manner.

Dennis Adams commenced to carry J ream to the Waterford cream factory 1 'ueaday. Γ GREENWOOD. Rather cool and wet (or vegetation to advanoe rapidly, yet fields and pastures are «lowly putting on the "living green/' as well as some of the forest trees. Grass was winter killed but little, and must be getting ready to come forward with a rush when the warm weather sets in. For some reason the mice did not do their usual amount of work at road making last winter; in fact we have hardly seen a trace of it this spring, nor a tree girdled. Possibly the bare ground in December, and the small amount of snow during the rest of the winter, had something to do with it. Although the Jackson farm that Dr. Packard bought a few years ago, con tains three or four orchards, the.doctor set out 750 new trees last spring, and has just added 500 mete. Evidently he can see, or at least he thinks he can see, money in fruit growing. And the same may be said of John Titus, who, although he has several orchards, set out fifty more apple trees last week. These men are both good citizens, and may they both live to "eat the fruit of their doings." Something has been said among the young craft about making and hanging Maybaekete, but so far as known no evening rappings have yet been heard. It is hinted that on the next moon if the weather and traveling improve some thing will be done in that line. Then look out for them. The other day another deer was seen in the field hardly more than a rifle shot from the house, but that he will be there next fall when the law drops off is some what doubtful. Only one lamb as yet, and although it has a white father it takes after its colored mother, and is as black as Mrs. Stowe's celebrated Topey. Last Sunday Charles Dunton of North Norway called at the Bennett place on his way home from Bethel where he had been in search of a girl to do his house work, but there was no such a girl to be found. She is fast becoming obsolete. On the same day came Charles A. Dunham and hie sister Ada of West Bethel and stopped until Tuesday morn ing. Monday he and his cousin went tlshing but met with rather indifferent success. The fish for some reason seemed inclined to remain in their native element. Another recent caller was Mont Bryant of Freeport who with hie parents left town twelve years ago, and is now 24 years of age. It was no marvel there fore if recognition was out of the ques tion. STOW. Born, April 29, to the wife of Clifford Emery, a daughter. Mrs. Frank Emery is caring for her. Irving Guptill is working for Chas. Barrows. Miss Harper of Franklin is teaching in Dist. No. 2.

Swiftly the year has rolled around and Memorial Day is once more drawing near;—the day that of all «there is ( fraught with the saddest and most sor rowful, the proudest and the tenderest memories; the day when a grateful and j sorrowing nation pays loving tribute to . the brave and daring men who freely | gave their lives when their country, ^Many years the grass has grown green u'cr the numberless mounds, which, | with loving fingers, we shall again wreathe with fragrant flowers, but scat tered here and there we shall see a newer grave, and then we shall know that Patriotism still lives. We know that however often our country needs them, her sons will be ready to answer to her call; we know that her daughters will be ever willing to uive of their dearest and best, in her hour of need. And, as we look back over the years that have flown, we can see that those who have mourned in the loneliness and silence of sorrowful hours, for the heroes who fought and died twoscore years ago, for the freedom of a race who had been born and bred in slavery's chain, cheerfully gave up then sons and grandsons to the service of their country, when the oppressed ana down-trodden of a foreign nation held out their trembling hands towards America for help and succor. Proudly we watched them march away, under the starry folds of our mighty banner, knowing that many of them would find their last resting place in another land than ours. And now, all we can do for our fallen heroes is to keep their memory ever fresh and green in our minds, and como each year in t^i beauty of May, and, with loving hearts and reverent hands, place on the mounds heaped above each faithful breast, bright blossoms of spring that "hall be an emblem of the unspeakable bright ness and infinite beauty of freedom that glorifies the lives of those who have been freed from the shackles that bound them in slavery and oppression. This we may do, and also, in grateful recognition of what our soldiers and de fenders have done, it behooves us as a nation to keep forever burning on our altars the fires of patriotism, and our hearts forever open to the cause of right, of justice and of freedom; and our hands ever ready to defend the helpless and defenceless of all nations and all 'poking back, we see, all along the pathway that marks the PrûK£e8*°f country, countless graves of heroic men who have yielded up their lives that America may in truth be called "The lmnil of the free And the home of the brmve. As we look back, we can see that the path the eons and daughters of America have trodden, in the years that are past, has been marked by hardship and priva tion, by bloodshed and death, by sorrow and loneliness unepeakable, and on this Memorial Day, let us reverently, with bowed head and bended knee, dedicate to ourselves, to our children, ™d to our children's children the duty, the privi lege and the pleasure of making this day a sacred day. Let us always keep it as the Nation's day of sorrow and gladness —sorrow for those near and dear ones who have gone out of our lives, and Madness for the unmeasured peace and happiness that the sacrifice of their lives brought to millions of our unfortunate brothers and sisters: and so, with sweet flowers and martial music und?* stars and stripes of our waving banner we will do honor to our country β noble dead.

In a recent article a prominent phy sician says, "It is next to impossible for Che physician to get his patients to carry jut any prescribed course of hygiene or jiet to the smallest extent; he has but une resort left, namely, the drug treat ment." When medicines are used for chronic constipation, the most mild and gentle obtainable, such as Chamber lain's Stomach & Liver Tablets, should be employed. Their use is not followed by constipation as they leave the bowels in a natural and healthy condition. For sale by Shurtleff & Co., E. P.
