Evening Excursions,

The Augusta, Gardiner & Haliowell
Electric Railroad have got up an en-
terprising plan for evening excursions
from Augusta and Hallowell TO Gar
diner and return.
On Friday evening. at O'Clock. a
special car. attached to the regular
which leaves the terminus at the Ed
wards mills, will leave for Gardiner.
The railroad offers the round trip for
10 cents, of course allowing no stop
overs, as the generous reduction is
for eXcursionists only.
That's a great idea, and the people
will appreciate it. There is nothing
more interesting, restful and invigor-
ating than a trip along the beautiful
river banks, at this season of the year,
and that time in the evening"
The round trip is open to Hallowell
residents to Gardiner for only five
cents.
This is only starter of more to
come, Mr.. Meloon says, and if he is
not greatly mistaken they will soon
have trips run from Gardiner to Au-
Gusta on the same basis
Try it, and you'll get your moneys
worth and more, every time.

racket overhead. The wind, it seems

tin roof on the block, and it Topped
over. 1t was a great flop and people
all around ran for their lives. Nothing
fell but with the sharp. jagged pieces
of tin hundreds of pounds of it there
suspended in the air. no one happened
