Al first it created considerable excitement,
and the residents of each city and town along the
route became anxious and curious to know who
would be next. Week after week went by and
the people settled down the fact that what their
neighbors said must be true. Like every city and
town in the union, Augusta came to the conclu-
sion that local testimony and statements from
people they knew We're reliable. One whose tes
tmony helped to push the good work along in
Augusta, is known all over the southwestern and
middle portion of Maine. He can be depended
upon TO answer any communications mailed to
him, to corroborate personally what he says

cupied ever since The inception of that company.

The greatest thing ever cot was Doan's Kidney

continued doing my work. The kidneys have been
strengthened. Doan's Kidney Pills in my estlma-
tion beat everything else known to me and my eN-

noon Tuesday, Mr.. Crockett was taking a
load of grain for Nickerson to Stockton and

to his house, where he expired in a very
short time. Mr.. Crockett has suffered from
heart trouble for many years, which was
the cause of his sudden death. He was born

late Ephraim and Elsie Crockett. OF three
brothers and two sisters only the youngest
brother, Tyler, survives. Mr.. G. married
Sarah Bennett, by whom he had two daugh-

perience in his attempt to make the train
Monday morning. He started out with a
double team, as usual, got stalled in snow
bank near Stockton Springs, and broke the

brought the n all through on horse back
until he secured wagon at the Harbor.
After battling with the snow drifts for near
ly seven hours lie arrived in Belfast too late
to catch the train. Notwithstanding the
terrible condition of the roads he has
brought through every mail landed from
the train nearly on time.
