Beginning sunday, January ist, 1899
when the Maine cessrAi winter time tsbss

the passenger train service between Augussa
and South Gardner will be made which
will undoubtedly prove Of great popularity
10 the travelling public. and decidedly stim-
uia,e travel between these thriving kenns-
bee towns. The regular through tsairs
will be run about a. they are at present but
an additional trip Of tiae accommodation OF

gus,a and Gardner.

The most radical change. however, ~ that

The Maine Central officials have long
contemplated some such additional service
but have been compelled to delay the Inn
provement until the present time on ac-
count Of lack Of track facilities. This
difficulty has been remedied by the compile
ton Of the double track between Augusta
and Gardner. and the solution Of the prob
lem of frequent and rapid communication
between the sister cities of the kennebcc
can now be attempted.
This additional train service Is only an
earnest of the intentions and wisher Of the
railroad officials. They fully recognize
that in the near future still better commune
cation must be given to the people, and
have already begun to consider plans and
develop the necessary arrangements for a
train service that will be deservedly popu-
lar
The question of Sunday train service was
fully considered, aud it's necessity seemed
so apparent, and its convcniences so great
that its adoption was decided upon.

attention to the rates Of fare between these
stations. Between Augusta and Hallowell,
