II is a well known fact that Skowhegan
has a reputation as desirable town TO
live in, one Of the most SO of any of the
many desirable towns in Maine. We do
not purpose at this time to give in detail
the many advantages, present and pros
pective, that make the town such, hut to
state the situations in business point of
view, not extensively, but covering
one or two points only.
We want 'enterprising citizens with
means and with days work. OF these
we cannot have too many. We are not
really in need of merchants. The supply
seems to be good and we have good en-
terprising dealers covering all the lines of
mercantile operations very thoroughly,
We don't say we have too many mer-
chants, but we do say these merchants
get more customers there must either be
more business here in our village or we
must draw more customers from outside
our town. We could draw more custom

direct rail connection with the Somerset
road. This, we hope, may be brought
about without much delay. We find the
citizens of our town, as well as other
towns, are greatly interested in it being
done and being done without further de-
lay The business interests. especially
our mercantile interest, is vitality and d.
rectly interested, those Of us following
other avocations are Indirectly Interested
and all who have pride in our town and
desire to see it thrive and grow, in a
general way, are interested to see our
transportation facilities improved.
There are doubtless openings for vsri-
Gus enterprises in our village on our
water powers. These are gradually com
ing in and We hope to see greater num-
Der of small manufactures start, and the
power become more thoroughly occupied.
These small industries, II there are only
enough Of them, have tendency to give
substantial growth to a place and give it
superior class of citizens.

Mr.. Love and Mr.. Eubanks, both OF

emerge from the gloom, by declaring
he demands his expenses, only, IN

taxes only for revenue for expenses OF
