CAPT. CHARLES A. ]. FARRAR.

A French Count de Fsrrdi. according
to the Massachusetts, "GeneaiOgy Of the
Farrars," was the progenltOr Of the pro-
portionately small number who bear that
name In America. a few are found In
Massachusetts,, but more In Oxford
County, Maine. The town OF Waterford
has mn old graveyard thlckly set with
"Farrar" tOmbstOnes. Charles y.
Browne ("Artemus ward'') was OF a
branch family, the most OF whom are
buried there.
Capt. G. A. J. Farrar, the subject Of
this sketch, was Of another branch.
Born In Boston In 1912, and educated
there, he commenced his journalistic
career when q boy Of seventeen, rs edit
or of the "IIerald" In wiscssset, Maine
A few years later, after various ventures
In New York and Boston, the young
editor started a paper In the latter city,
called "Thc Boston Independent" Ills
partner VAS Mr.. Curtis, present man.
ager of the great Curtis Publishing Co.
OF Philadelphia. About that time he
took permanent residence In Jam lea
Plain, Mass, having previously married
Miss Rosannah Austin Of Buckflell,
Maine.
An accomplished sportsman aud en-
thusiast on the subject OF wildwood
scenery, Ia 1875 Captsin Farrar became
actively Interested In the development
Of the Rangeley lakes, as an attractive
region for the tourist and sportsman,
and built the first SIC mboat run on
those waters. His was the pioneer en-
terprise. He then proceeded to organize
the Androscoggin Lakes transportation
Co., of which he was manager and sec
rotary. This company built several
other steamboats, and erected several
hotels, thus developing substantially
and permanently that interesting region.
Since then It has been Captain Farrar's
delight to spend his summers there, ac-
companied BY his wife and friends.
with his pen ever at work he applied
his versatile powers to the description
and showing forth of the scenic beauties
of Maine; and with his steamboat and
hotel enterprise, his illustrated guide
books, graphic stories aud papers on the
resources OF Maine as summer resort,
have been OF immense advantage to the
state. No man had done more, or more
heartily. His recent death on January
9th, ut the age OF 81, wasa public loss.
His last and most important work in
literature was sThrough the wilds",
fine quarto volume Of 4l5 pages with 300
published by Estes &
I.auriat, Boston. II isa fascinating mar.
ratlve Of adventure through the wilds Of
Maine and New Hampshire, the campers
and tourists being four bright young
men from the city, bent on a ane vaca-
ton. The style 10 breezy and vigorous,
and the reader almost catches the very
breath of the pines. II lsa book to de-
light the heart OF every one who
knows and loves the sylvan haunts Of
Maine, aud will infect every one who
does not with = desire and determine
lion to do 90.
At the time Of Captain Fsrrar's death
he was conducting periodical devoted

the tax would be over two thousand dol
lars for lie part Of the debt. Shall We
be benefited that muchi
would rather use my part to tx my
own buildings or help repair some OF the
run down school houses 10 town.
II must require = great deal Of cheek
to tell the farmer that his part OF the
tax would be such small amount when
the fact 10 he Is already paying twice the
amount that he would have to pay II

gard 70 our TAI laws, aud the Lions that
we send to the legislature prove TO DO
such Lambs when they get there that the
farmer gets no show Ut justice In regard
to equalization Of taxes.

unnecessary tax.
