Change of Local Names.

Old names, like old friends, should not
be discarded except for the most valid rea-
sons. Our towns, ponds, lakes, rivers,
hills, etc, were named years ago by our
ancestors. In most cases the names were
chosen wisely and well. They have a sig
nificance which makes them worth preserv-
ing. The residents of any certain locality
have been familiar with the local names
from their earliest recollection and have
learned to love them, The names, in fact.
have become part Of what makes the place
Of their nativity dear Generation followed
generation and no one ever thought OF
changing the local names. All at once some
adventurer without money or principle,
it may be, comes along and discovers fine
scenery and splendid locality, out of
which he hopes, by the aid of wildcat
boom, to make some money. And so he
begins to talk the matter up; he enlists
Others in his cause and together they form
on psper-the Royal Acadia River.
Lake, Bay, Harbor and Mountain Bragga-
docia Company" and want to give. and
do give. SO far as they are able, new
name TO the town and all the ponds. lakes,
etc, in the town; and the worst of it is q
considerable part Of the inhabitants in the
place help the adventurer to discard the
old names and adopt the ne~.
The chances are that after few years
the Company will collapse and the inhabi-
tants of the place have nothing left by
which to remember it except some of its
worthless paper and new local names,
which they can't get rid of.
We DO not wish to he misunderstood.
We are great believer in the good old
State of Maine. We say now, what we
have often said before that the natural
advantages of the Pine Tree State are
second to those Of no other State in the
MON. Its climate is a. healthtul its nat
ural resources as extensive, its water pow
or a. great, its facilities for manufactures
commerce and deep->ea fishing as well re.
cognized, its people as happy, its power
TO produce Drawn and brain a. undisputed
a. can be found in any part Of this broad
land In some respects 1t excels all other
States in the Union. Its extensive coast
rich in broad bays, magnificent islands
points. shores. hesdlands and a great vare
~ of the most charming and picturesque
scenery to be found in any part of the
world afford, almost unlimited sites fol
summer tourists and cottager., an influx
which is yet in its infancy and susceptible,
Of marked development.
We do not lack in respect and .ympath,
for the individuals and companies that ar,
laborng in an honorable and legitimat,
way TO develop the resources of our coas
towns and make of them summer resorts
We desire TO all all such TO the extent o.
our ability Nor do we say that loca
geographical names should not sometime.
be changed; but We do say be very SLOW
shout changing them--never at the becl
OF an adventurer and only for the hes
and most sufficient reasons.
