good deal of boating on the river, as all
the merchandise of the upper Kennebec passed
through here. The Somerset and Kennebec
railroad passes through the village, and the
Androscoggin e. Kennebec, and Penobscot
& Kennebec roads had their junction here, un-
til recently they were consolidated under the
name of the Maine Central. 1t will be seen
that Waterville is easy of access and possess
es superior water power.
Waterville College is pleasantly situated
North of the village, on the bank of the riv-
er 1t was chartered in 1920, and has been
literally cared for by its denominational
friends, but has received little or no aid from
the State until recently. 1t was very flour
ishing at the time the war broke out but a
large portion of the students have enlisted in
their country's cause.
The board of instruction is ample and we'll
qualified, and | know of no college in the
country where young man can get better
education than here.
We have three hotels which provide for the
wants of the travelling community, and three
banks to provide capital for our business
Ticonic Bank has 100000 capital; Waterville
Bank, 100000; and the Peoples, S75, 900; /;
making an aggregate of s275,00O.
We look well to the welfare of the soul: for
we have a Unitarian, Universalis-, Congrega-
tional, Baptist, and Methodist churches.
We have also one newspaper, the Eastern
Mail, sheet undoubtedly familiar to you,
which furnishes us all local news, and tells us
when we marry and when we die.
There are but few places in the State that
present greater inducements for profitable in
vestment of capital than this none that offer
better facilities for education, whether aca-
demic or collegiate; none more central or easy
OF access to the business man; none more
comfortable for the man retired from business !;
and we need only little energy, with the en-
ployment of what capital we have and pro-
per improvement Of our water power, to make
us one of the most thriving villages in the
State. FULLER.

in brief Wateryille was Incorporated in 1902.
The original settlement was made on the
present site OF the village, at the head of Ii
comic Falls.
Below the village the Sebastieook river
forms its junction with the Kennebec. At the
point Of confluence stands Fort Halifax two
story building constructed of hewn timbers,
with portfolios in the upper story, erected in
1754, by Gov. Shirley of Massachusetts, and
the last of the line of forts built on the
Kennebec river, as defenses, during the French
and Indian War.
Settlements were made in the vicinity of this
fort and were never abandoned, but steadily
increased, till the census of 1860 shows a pop
ulation Of 1892, and valuation of 81 ,34S, $50.
When water power first attracted the atten-
ton of manufacturers, that of Ticonc Falls
was pronounced second to none. 1t commands
the entire water OF the Kennebec with fall
OF 10 feet, and at the small rapids, a few rods
above the falls, all the water is again comman-
ded with fall of IL feet. 1t is larger, more
renaDie, and more secure from freshets than
any other water power in Maine. Water
enough passes idly by here every day to run
the factories Of Lowell or Lawrence. The
capitalists VINO built the Lowell factories first
came here, and much admired the location -
but the privilege was held so high by the own
ers that they were driven away, and no ma
chinery of Importance has been erected here
yet, nor probably will be until this generation
shall pass away, and titles to real estate pass
to other hands.
There are, however, manufactures of lum-
Der and shingles, a match factory, sash and
blind, carriage and sleigh factories. marble
factory, scythe and hoe factory, an ak facto-
ry,apaper mill, tannery and foundry.
The Emerson stream, running through the
rear Of the town, also affords large and safe
water power. The village is situated at the
head of navigation. A steamboat plies be-

DEMOCRATIC LoYALTY.-We invite the atten-
tion of our readers to the letter we publish
from one of our army correspondents, gen.
tleman who has been lifelong democrat and
never suspected of being " abolitionist or
- radical" He has been In the army from the
commencem ent of the war, has always been,
and is now, a warm admHer of Gen. Mcclellan,
and, as his letter shows, is not inclined to be
mild or affectionate in his sympathies for nom
combatant, anti-slayery men. But, notwlth-
standing all this he understands thoroughly, as
we believe do also great majority of his fellow
Democrats in the service, that treason must be
fought to the bitter end, and everything short
of that is lrretriovabIo ruin and. disgrace.
Peace and compromise and submission Demo
Gratis may learn what true and loyal Democracy
IS from this lotter.-a partisanship which can
hold to Its principles, and yet stand steadtastly
by the Government, and yield not an inch to
traitors in arms Such Democracy means
something, is worthy Of commendation, and
lands out in bright contrast to the cowardly
