Appreciates kindness

To the editor:
I was having a down day this past Friday.  Life drudges on and things need to be done, so I moped into the Fort Fairfield IGA.  The folks in there have always been decent and accommodating.

Love being part of The County

To the editor:

To the editor:

A humorous take on the man cave

To the editor:

Man cave: a place where men go to hide. There are various reasons we men choose to have these little places. The “No women allowed” sign on the entrance gives a clue to one of our reasons for claiming our little piece of heaven.

American Legion needs service members

To the editor:
My name is Edward J. Ellis. I grew up in Ashland. Schooling was where I made up my mind; I’d follow the path of my father and so on.
