G. B. Ballard, the mining man, is
contemplating taking trip to his old
home in Maine. He expects to leave

he has never been back since he left
about onethird of century ago-the
probabilities are that he will note
few changes, even if he recognizes the
place at all. The many friends of the
family in Philipsburg wish "By"
pleasant trip and an enjoyable one.
The gathering of young boys around
the railroad depot every day continues
to be source Of annoyance to the rail-

pers so that the authorities may know
who to go after.
