Every one Of us knows
how painfulit is to be called
by malicious names, to have
his character undermined by
false insinu4tions, to be over
reached in q bargain, to be
regIccted by those who rise
in life, to be thrust on one
side by those WHO have
stronger wills and stoutcr
hearts. Every Que knows
also, the pleasure Of re;civ-
ing a kind look, a warm
greeting, a hand held out to
help in distress, a difficulty
solved, / higher hope reveal,
ed for this world or the next,
BY that pain and by tn: t
pleasure let us Judge what
we should do to others.

THE WASHINGTON COUNTY.

At Calais, on Tuesday the executive
committee of the board OF directors OIL 1he
Washington County Railroad com pahy
elected Henry Y. Dowst of Bangor, gen.
eral manager of that road. For some
weeks. Mr.. Dowst has been considering
The nroposition made to him by the COM
panv for the management of the line.
Several premature and somewhat annoy
ing rumors leaked out weeks ago, before
ANYTHING conclusive was reached. Only
a few days ago Mr.. Dowst agreed to &C.
cent the office, and at once the meeting Of
the directors was called. On Tuesday at
Calais, the appointment was made unani-
mously. Mr. Dowst and his family will
live in Calais ...
THE PENOBSCoT CENTRAL.
The grading of the Penobsoot Central
has progressed as far as Rollins mill De-
tween East Corinth and Charleston and
the company expect to get rails laid as
tar as East Corinth by September. At
Rollins mill the bridge across the stream
has been widened by the company SO tnat
the teams will have this same width for
travel after the rails are laid as original
II. This fridge is in Charleston and it
is claimed by some that the work OF the
company is not as good Us the old struc-
ture and objection is being made.
There is difference of opinion, how
ever. over the matter and it is probable
that nothing very serious will result. In
East Corinth there is trouble, however,
that may cause hard feelings The grad
ing for the track hss been done alongside
the highway all the way along from Ban
gor and upon the right side. People In
the village of East Corintn who have
pretty lawns located on the right side CT
the street to be occupied by the CentraPs
track seriously object to having the steel
close beside their lawn. In some cases, it
is alleged, lawns will have to be disturbed
if the same plan is carried out and for
this reason such property owners want
the tracks laid in the centre of the street.
Many object to the track being laid in
the center of the street because they argue
that when the snow is reason ably deep in
winter and the rails are clear of it,
naturally the driveway at each side will
not be maintained in as good condition
as would be the case if the driveway was
all at one side of the track. There is
much discussion.
In order to arrive at decision town
meeting has been called for next Satur-
day when the QUESTION will be discussed
fully an d then decided by vote.
