H''jton people are all proud of
thiir new proprietor. He is an im
portant man and aoiuimtion to the
town, It is rumored that he is a
strotijf favorite for the city's chief
executive if he will accept lha posi
tion next month when the election
of the new council taken place. He
is a broad and capable "man of
alTairs" to meet and would make
an fxcellent mayor. He has mada
many warm friends since locating
here. He formerly lived in Michi
gan prior to cominif Weit and oper
ated in the same line ami also was a
prominent farmer for years. As
we note in this article Houlton's
lealinx business people and what
they are doin we take ifreat pleas
ure in referring very cordially to
mine host, N. 0. Larabee, anil
award him a prominent place in
who's who of Houlton. Mr. Lara
bee comes from good old patriotic
stock. His father served with dis
tinction in the Civil war, and hi
ifrandfather was a brave and
!ant soldier in the war of 1812,
while his great grandfather served
with distinction in the war for In
dependence. Alfred Karl Larabee,
son of Mr. and Mrs. I.arabee, is
studying at West l'oint and has
ranked as a ca let of the United
Statis Military Academy since the
first of March, 1110. The New Ajfe.
however, tends towards the brother
hood of mar., science, industry and
progress rather than warfare.
I'erry & Graham conduct Houl
ton's "pioneer" general store. They
deal in groceries, produce, tlour,
feed, dry goods, hardware, stoves,
shoes, hats and general furnishings
for men, women and children. This
is the store that has supplied every
body for miles around the town for
the nasi 22 years. During all that
time Mr. I'erry has been the post
master as well and he is the oldest
,,tr,i!itrr in the county. He was
!,rti iibout a mile from the town
and his parents came here away
iiack in 1M.". Mr. Terry stands
high in all the relations of life and
no one could, we think, take his
place as Uncle Sam's efficient and
popular representative. He is as
reliable as clockwork and nothing
is much more important than that
in a little burg of five or six hun
dred i'ople, with a magnificent
igricultural country all aroun'1 it
for miles. Mr. Graham joined Mr.
I'erry twelve years ago. Their
partnership for so long shows that
;hev make a good commercial team

'oming to Houlton he worked in
Portland for 27 years, and in all
h,,.. venrs worked only for two
inns. Ho followed sawniilling and
.rickmaking. He was born in
t'anada, but has been in Oregon
since IST'J. He is therefore by
adoption a very good substantial
m. rican citizen, and he is more-
iver a splendid business man and
njoys as well as his senior partner
the hishest esteem of all who know
litn. In this article touching on
he leading business men and what
hey are doing we tAe pleasure in
stock dealer. He buys hogs, sheep,
cattle etc.. fo' the nurkets in and
surrounding St. Helena and Houl
ton, and has operated in this line
for one year and a half. He is quite
a historic gentlemen to tnett. He
has followed the , buainess fifteen
years, and prior t-j this line, in the
east, in North Carolina, hi native
commonwealth, he assisted m first
assistant engrossirg clerk in the
legislature of that state, which
position he filled four terms. He

I'avis is a young man of splendid
physique and ability. He is a
hustler and pays spot cash and the
highest prices for livestock to the
farmers around here and aii over
I the county. It should not be over
looked that he has auctioneering
qualifications, and if given plenty
of work in this line no doubt would
become quite a "knight of the ham
mer." He recently "pulled off" a
ale at Houlton which was quite a
success ana wnicn displayed nis
adaptibilities to this line. He is a
fluent talker, and intuitively versa
tile. Personally he is a keenly in
telligent young man to meet, and
has the blue blood of North Caro-
ina ancestry flowing through his
reins, and as we are making brief
mention of Houlton's leading busi
ness men and what they are doing
in this number he conies in for his

promise of making Houlton (or St.
