running between the little villages OF

ten years, the horse team having been
superseded by the steam engine and
the car by passenger coaches. Rude
hands have demolished every pane OF
glass in the windows and the ravages
of time is making marks all over 1T.
Some provision should be made for its
preservation for in future years 1T will
