Union Advocate: Between the two

ter of North Arson village. is a high
elevation of land which from the eari-
est times has been known as grave

village burying ground. 1t was aban-

years ago. This hill is dotted with the
old fashioned slate headstones and the
inscriptions that many of them bear
seem quaint to the present generation.
The local pedestrians pass over this
hill in going from Main to Elm street.

needless feet. 1t is unfenced now and

day the towns of New Portland. Mad

east is the Kennebec river as it winds
along by the Brown and Hilton island.
and its course can be traced far be-
yond as it's waters hurry on towards
the falls at Madison. On the south and
west is the beautiful Carrabasset with
its splashing water leaping over jagged
rocks to the basin below. Turning to
