Sons have sold $50 horses from their
stables since December last
Every available man is now employed
on the street railway. Rails are laid
through the village and nearly to Paris
line. The car house is completed and oc-
cupied by two elegant cars. Meanwhile
the kicking and bucking continues, most
ly by the farmers, who are troubled with
visions of runaway horses, broken limbs
and wrecked carriages. They threaten
to buy out the stores and business places
on the railway line, and patronize the
back streets, and small dealers. This in
some cases brings threats of suit for
damages by the discounted proprietors
This of course, caused search of the
records for street lines and threats on the
other hand of moving their buildings,
which they claim are obstructing the
highway at South Paris But there is
one comforting consideration. A storm is
generally followed by a calm. Older, and
we hope, wiser counselors say, "Don't be
hasty, wait and see. y

on the principal streets, but many dwell
ings are being erected in the suburbs and
even the adjacent forests
