-NEw RouTE.-Manager Paige OF
the Bates House, with his characteris'
tic. tact and push, has just opened a
new route of travel which tourists will
favor greatly after making single trip
1t is called the ''Pine Hill Star Route. y
The route opens at the south east cor
uer of Mr.. j. NJ. Ravens pine hill
COW pasture and extends diagonally
through said pasture, then northcrly
through "A last years corn-iield, continu'
ing through some 80 acres of swami
and pasture until the COW path o.
pine hill is reached, where the rea
route in all its enchanting beauty may
be said to begin. AT this point tho
enraptured tourist commences to smile,
that is, if his flask is not bankrupt
and before he rides a mile over thu
noble bouldcrs and tree stumps tina
make up for the most part the road
bed, he will be so transported will
estate delight that it will be impossible
for him to keep from taking full half
pint smile. The writer was the frs
passenger manager Paige had tickete'
and he informs him that although h,
has advertised his route extensively
embelishing his bills and posters will
life size cuts of the beautiful bottle ant
the appreciative horse flies whicl
abound all along the line, his basines
is not what it should be as he has no
sold ticket since the first. The gen
eral office is at the Bates House, wher
the tourist or the tramp may obtain al
information necessary to happiness
No traveller should fail to take this o
some other route.
