Standpoint and loaded one schooner which

part of cargo. The price paid was So and
Sl3 per ton The coming crop of hay will be
light; the grass is thin in the best places
The dry weather last fall checked the growth
of roots and with extra weather the hay
crop will not come up to last year in the
short time that it has TO mature. But every
one is short of stock and enough for home
use is assured. Mr. F. X. Lane, one of the
Castine Normal school teachers, and his
wife and Miss Edna Hosmer came with the
Normals for a visit to their old home in
Prospect. In the second shower last Fri
day afternoon it rained in torrents for a
few minutes. The first shower was not so
bad There was some good driving and

F. Gould stopped over at Standpoint to in
spect and help load the two vessels there
with hay. MIR. Barak Hatch of Morrill,,
who has been stopping here among his chill
dren, went home last Saturday -. The road
machine is out, and all over town after a
shower it will be mud, mud, for teams; and
the more money raised the deeper the mud
will be. Every year the crossways and drain
age, with the hard places where the machine
does poor work, are poorly repaired and soon
become that old bad place again. Taking
all the extra loss of dirt by stirring the soil
every year, with the extra wash and the
mud and rougher roads part of the season,
it is not 80 very much ahead of the old way
of making good piece of road and repairing
the rest and not have all mud and all new
travel every year. Besides, there are tons
of soil that go down the hills every year and
are lost for making the road with in the
future by the new stirring of the soil method
with the road machine, instead of making
good piece of road and leaving it to sward
over along the bitches and hold the soil on
the present method, new roads will have to
be built alongside of the old roads to get
drainage and keep the roads higher to avoid
deeper drifts of snow in winter. Some of
these new-fangled notions and new systems
