Old Home Week for Maine.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL,
lnclosed is a clipping from a Maine
paper. which perhaps may suggest
something to the Mayor and good peo-
pie of your city as to what might be
done with little effort Here is a chance
for the Mayor or Selectmen to shine.
Surely Belfast will not be backward in
this good movement. 1t is surely COM
ing, and we must be up in season or
the procession will get by us. l send
this to you first, but would like very
much if it could be forwarded to Mayor
Mortland of Rockland, who, | know,
will act at once along the line of Mayor
Wilson's ideas. E. B. BILLINGS.

Like every other loyal son of Maine,
Mayor Wilson of Auburn is interested
i'll the success of Old Home week.
80 tell you the TRUTH says Mayor
Wilson, Il can't say that | understand
just what is required of the cities and
towns. | am sure that we are all in for
anything that will get the folks back to
Maine, if its only for a short time. 1t
seems to me that the railroads can fur
nisll the greatest inducements in the
way of reduced fare We all know that
it costs money 20 travel on the railroads.
especially il some parts OF Maine.
think well of the idea and shall be will
ing to do what | can toward helping it
along. We have no board of trade, but
| presume it will be an easy matter to
get our business men together for dis
cusslon Of what is best to be done l
shall see Mayor Furbush of Lewiston
and find out. what Lewiston proposes.
and very likely we can go in on the
same general plan. We can decorate
and do other things to show our old
friends that were glad to see them.
You may count on me to do What is
right in extending the welcome home.
Alderman Nickery Of Auburn says: 1t
is sensible and patriotic idea, this
