Correspondence of the journal
BLUEHILL, Nov. 10th, 1884. Having dec ded
to make Il little trip through eastern Maine, we
will see if there is anything we can put into
readable form for the patrons of the journal.
One thing is certain. it is pleasant for person
to read his notes of travel after the lapse of
little time, because of the many pleasant assoc
ciaticns suggested by the meagre outline of his
journey. through any portion of country, which
he may thus preserve for future reference
The dsagreeabe incidents Are usually forgot
ten we look into the past, and the pleasant
features alone remembered. We are liable
to say and write foolish things sometimes, but
it is no use to worry about that Whatever
comes into our head is jotted down with our
stub pencil and laid before our readers, sub
ject to the revision of our friend the editor. and
to the correction of all material errors that may
be discovered by the bright eyes that read The
proof in the journal Office.
50 with our team we start cheeriy forth. an
ticipating pleasant months drive among the
familiar scenes of our own good state of Maine.
Our first halt is at the Belfast Savings Bank,
where. IN answer TO the sign of distress. our
friend Mr.. Quimby, not ''Our George but
honest John" furnishes II, with the currency
needed for present expenses. We call 10 see
"Our George of Good Templar" fame and
find him bu>ily engaged in answering the me>-
vi, r., -
sentatives Of the Order from the different parts
of the State. Twenty-three thousand people
find something for their secretary to do, and
there is no doubt that George does that duly
pretty well. A HE0aMtouS vote for the hlH
consecutive year of service is rather a pleasant
recognition of valuable official service after ali
Wishing him, and the Order he represents. sue
cess we make a few more calls and then drive
over to spend the night at the Sear>port House
where we find good accommodations and notice
the next morning that they do not forget to
charge for if, too. While in the place we call to
see our Old friend Dr.. Stephenson. HI has
good home. pleasant office and is evidently
doing good business. As We drive through
Stockton we notice that the block of buildings
destroyed 5y tire is being rapidly replaced and
in Il few weeks the place Will look better than
before they We're destroyed. After a short but
unpleasant drive we reach the ferry, when in
response to our call the boat takes Us across The
Penobscot and We are safely landed in Hancock
Co., ready to do justice TO the dinner which we
