THROUGH THE COUNTY.
{ Continued from Page ~

week. 1t was only the whooping of the
people who saw it that saved the team. Only
IL few weeks ago there was Il petition sent to
the County Commissioners by the people
requesting Thorn to have u Waterman or gates
placed ut the crossing here which is n very
dangerous one, and in place of such they
have erected a small electric bell which is of
no earthly use whatever. When you are
driving along it cannot be heard at all Now
we think the time has arrived when the peo-
pie should raise their voices and see to it
that the railroad company should be made
to put Waterman or gates at this crossing
before somebody is killed. The people here
have been put off and robbed of their rights
enough by the Railroad Company and Just
now while the Legislature is in session is the
time for them to act. In 1877 or '7S the
railroad company commenced to operate this
line and to gou2e the people by not allowing
any rates and overcharging for freight and
refused to put on an accommodation train
according to promise. As soon as the people
realized what was going on they at once
applied to the Legislature and the result was
the railroad company was compelled to give
rates, lower their charges and put on an
accommodation train. While the train re-
manned on, we had our morning mails sent
upon it and we claim we had the best mail
facilities by that train we could have had and
our travelling accommodations were good
also. But as soon as the present superinten-
dent took charge, he took Off our train and
destroyed our good mail facilities and accom-
modations. He has done all he can against
us and nothing for us. Now the people are
getting very tired Of his tyrannical way of
doing business and will not bear it any longer.
We should at once apply to the Legislature
and have our rights restored. If the charter
OF this railroad is as the people claim it is,
they have some rights and say as well as the
railroad company. Never once since the
present superintendent took charge have the
people here asked anything of him that has
beer given them-stones for bread all the
time. Now is the time to petition the Legis-
lature and have our morning train put on
aud Waterman or gates at the crossing. We
can do it and let us be at it at once.

playtwo games at Oxford weekly for 10 weeks
In case the league is not formed Oxford will
form independently and play series of ar

Menough will be the manager. he having
filled that position last year.

Mill improvements,

A number Of extensive Improvements will
be made at the Elkton Pulp Works. in order
to increase the capacity of the plant. The
main building will be enlarged by twenty
six foot extension. Four of the six steam
boilers now used will be replaced by two new
Berry boilers Of two hundred and fifty horse
power each. A new rotary black ash furnace
will be placed in, additional liquor pans and
drainers, and new diCesters will be placed
in. The cost of the improvements will
amount to fully 1926, 900, and the capacity of
of the mill will then be about 10000 pounds
daily.
