County Officers From Sangerville
In comparison with others of the larger towns in Piseataquis County, it would seem that Sangerville has had rather a meagre share of the county officers. When the county was organized in 1838, Governor Kent appointed members of the Whig party to fill the various offices in the new county and Barnabas Bursley was thus honored with being the first Register of Probate and was elected to the same position in 1841, serving one term. In 1858 Samuel Whitney, for several years a merchant at Sangerville village, was elected Register of Probate and died in office. Colonel William Oakes, Jr., was Sheriff 1842-1845 and Edward Jewett held the office for one term in 1862. Mr. Jewett was again elected Sheriff in 1863 and held the office until and including 1872. In 1849 Jonathan Roberts was elected County Commissioner and Barnabas Bursley was elected to the same office in 1853 and Melvin J. Jewett in 1896. William A. Burgess, then re-

Booksellers Past and Present.
(N. Y. World.)
A speaker at the meeting in New York of the American Booksellers' Association referred to "the blank- faced book salesman, with his stupid- ity, which acts as an obstacle between the books and the reading public." That there is such a person is well known.
The bookseller of other days was not blank-faced and he was not an ob- stacle. He was in the business, as a rule, because he loved books. He knew all about them, inside as well as outside, and he took pleasure in their company.
Booksellers of this type used to be found in every town having a popula- tion of 10,000 or more. They ranked socially with the preacher, the lawyer
and the schoolmaster. They usually were friends of the old-fashioned print- er, who was nearly always an editor and in many cases an orator. Their stores were headquarters for students and thinkers.
Such merchants have now disap- peared almost everywhere. There are big cities in the United States that do not have a true book store. There are hundreds of important towns that have nothing resembling a book store. Books are sold, of course, but they may be a side line for dry goods or for peanuts. The lady or the gentleman at the counter sells books not as our old booksellers did but merely as one who operates a cash-register.
It is pleasing to note the fact that the trade is taking this blank-faced person into consideration. There is hardly any member of commercial so- ciety who stands in such need of in- struction.
