his trusty rifle and sailed forth into
the suburbs of Benton before the break

was out getting up an appetite for
breakfast, and was shot at first sight
the city, this year. and Is probably the
first shot in kcnnebec county this fall.
and was captured within few miles
Of the city. There are more within
easy driving distance and many a
wagon will have life under the seat
these days. People returning from the
adjacent ponds during the latter part
of the summer have seen numerous
deer. They are usu1lly quite plenty
about Smithiield and the ponds in that
town, but are as q rule. So wild that il
takes an experienced hunter to bring
one of them down.
Several are usually shot in Benton
and surrounding towns every fall
There are certainly deer enough with

at them. Mr.. Getchell's luck has fire |

October IS is the day set for the
change of time on the Maine Central
Railroad and before that date it will
be a good idea for all to carefully
study the time table to avoid being
left. There will be some changes from
the present schedule, the noon express
to Boston and the early morning Pull
man from Boston being taken off.
The remainder of the schedule will be
very similar to that in use before the
summer time table was adopted, with
the exception of the addition of two
freight trains during the night, there
then being four instead of two, as at
present. This is made necessary by the
additional amount of freight going
over the road. The time tables have
not yet arrived but will be distributed
upon their arrival. The kennebec
Central will govern their trains TO
make connections with the Maine Cen
trail. They will run three trains, Sun
