The Road from TOgus to Gardiner.

The county commissioners of this county
visited Chelsea on Tuesday, for the purpose of
examining the proposed changes in the road
leading from Togus to Gardiner The visit
was made in conformity to petition to lay
out new road around, and thus avoiding the
"Morgan Hill" so called. On examination,
it was not deemed advisable to make such a
change, but it was determined to grade the
hill, and make it more convenient and easy
for public travel. An arrangement was en-
tered into so that the town of Chelsea will
pay 5000 towards the expenses of grading and
repairing the road, and the United States
Government the remainder of the expense.
1t is estimated that the whole thing will cost
some $500. The work will be done by the
force of men at the Soldiers Home. Nearly
all the supplies for the Home are brought
from Gardiner by way of this road

Rest Organs for Easy Payments.

The new scheme of easy payments for Cabi-
net Organs, offered by the we'll known Mason
& Hamlin Organ Co. has these advantages
/. An organ may be obtained by a first pay
ment of ten dollars or more.
2. If it does not prove satisfactory, or the
party taking it gets tired Of it, he may return
it after six months, having paid nothing more
than the rent Of it.
3. If he concludes to purchase and pays for
it in the course of year, the whole cost to
him is but five to ten per cent more than if
all cash had been paid.
Dealers say this will ruin the business of
organ selling, as they cannot afford to com
pete with such terms The Mason & Ham
len Co. know so well the quality of their or
gans, and that they believe they can afford
such terms. Circulars can be obtained with
full particulars by writing to the Company
for them to Boston, New York, or Chicago.
