Dover Claims To Have More Pacenies Than Any Town
Dover asserts it has more wet and dry pacenies for a town its size than any comparable place in the country. The Concord Water Works net balance after all expenses and interest on bonds stood at 40.99 dollars last year as anxiety grows in Portsmouth about several fishing fleet vessels lost since the gale on the fourth. The Musconia mining property at Lebanon sold to a Corcora syndicate, with Sylvester Marsh of Concord as president and George K. E. Jenks of Concord as clerk. Maj. George L. Wentworth has been indicted for shooting E. S. Nowell at Salmon Falls on Thanksgiving. Nowell was unhurt and Wentworth wounded by Nowell’s son after drinking. A Dover Democrat inquiry into the word spondulies recalls an old Barrington muster tale about spawn ducats becoming spondulics.
