and is probably on the ground before
this. 1t is the plan to begin at each
end to lay the rails. and the Directors
hope to have the road completed and
trains running i'll season for the pleasure
travel but this is uncertain. The work
on the depot grounds at Wells River is
progressing, although the immense clay
hill to he removed is formidable oh
Stacle. When graded off this will be
an excellent site for the union depot for

approaching the time when sickness is

Our Cemetery.

Some visitors to our cemetery, eSpe-

the turtimg upon the banks. causing ex-
pense for repairs, altogether needless
when the paths made to walk in are so
numerous. Another thing we are re-
quested to state: BY ii regulation of
