A farewell reception was rendered
Rev. and Mrs. j. Frank Rhodes by the
members of the Universalist Society

It was an informal and very pleasant
little affair, just the members Of the
society being present. The parlors
were very prettily decorated with
potted plants ard cut flCwers, there
being an abundance Of the latter.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rhodes were assisted
in receiving by Miss Redlngton, Miss

missed. The reception, last evening,
was arranged as a token 0: the re

time in going over the road. and all
these wasted fves added would make a
very tidy sum at the end of the year.
Mr.. Gerald cited one instance of an
electric road in the State that is now
just able to make both ends meet, but
which might earn a fair profit and pay
reasonable dividends if just a few min
utes could be sliced off its schedule.
In that case certainly a few minutes
mean the difference between profit and
loss.
The principle involved seems to be
that in order to get business and do it
profitably electric cars must get from
one terminal to another over the east
est and shortest route in the quickest
time compatible with safety. A nat
ural result of this that might be eX-
pected is that in the future cars and
road bed will be constructed for great
speed and this is really what is being
core at present for the new roads are
being equipped with rails and road bed
more like those of the steam roads and
with cars of nigh speed gears.
Another thing brought out by Mr.
Gerald is the fact that the business
is really in it's infancy here in the
State. 1t was not long ago when good
judges were declaring that all the IA
vorable openings had been improved
but Mr.. Gerald intimated that just q
beginning mad beer made and that
the next few years would see a great
development even greater than the
past 10 years. He declared that 10
years or so ago no man could have
prophesied that the farmers would now
be furnished with telephones at reason
able rates and have their mail de-
livared at their door every day in tn
year, but these are now familiar fac:S.
And so with electric roads. Things
not dreamed of at present may be
looked for within the next 10 years.
Every one is of course familiar with
the fact that the unbroken line from
Boston to Bangor is being steadily de-
vclored, every year seeing one or more
links added. Those who have watched
things closely believe that the next
step in this vicinity will be Il road
from this city to Augusta. But grad
ually, mile by mile, the distance is be-
ing covered and almost any kind CT
a prophecy from men like Mr.. Gerald
will now be accepted without ques-
ton where it would be laughed to
scorn but a few years ago.

cart and peanut stand have been re-
moved and located back away from the
square.
The old wooden hitching rail, half
eaten by the horses and altogether de-
lapidated, was removed from the south
side of the park some time ago with
the intention of replacing it with
substantial iron hitching rail set in the
granite curbing of the park.
But there was objection to this. That
part of Common street passing along
the south side of the park is one of the
most travelled of the short streets of
the city and its sidewalk as much as
any as it is the only way to the post
office from Main street The street is
rather narrow and when lined with a
string of teams the resulting conges-
ton and dirt have been Objectionable
to many. Then, too, it has not been
an altogether desirable hitching place
as the horses have been exposed to all
the noise and excitement of the princi-
pal business streets and there have
been many narrow escapes from Sc
rious accidents. About the only thing
to recommend the place has been that
it is convenient and really the only one.
What is now desired is to clean all
this up: keep the teams and other
things off the square and park; and
make the place clean and neat while a
regular market place is provided for
the farmers and others coming into the
city by team. The idea is for the city
to purchase a fair sized lot near the
business street, fix it up with hitching
rails and other conveniences and make
it a regular market place. 1t is be-
lieved that it's character could be well
established in a short time and that q
farmer having any kind of produce to
would be sure of finding a customer
there as those wishing to buy would
know Just where to find him. Then
when hitched back from the street and
in comparative quiet the horses would
be much more safe and their owners
could transact business with much
more safe and their owners could
transact business with much more
comfort than if worrying all the time
about what might happen to their
teams.
After being established the place
be provided with many little conven-
fences that would be appreciated by
visitors and it is generally believed
that it would soon become very pOpu-
lar. There are several places that
would be excellent for this purpose,
cool in summer and protected and
sunny in winter.
Every one appreciates the great adj
vantage to be derived from the trade
on both sides from the surrounding
country and there is a strong demand
to encourage this in every possible way
and make the visits of outsiders to the
city just as convenient and pleasant as
possible. One of the first things sug-
gested is this market place and good
start has been made towards procuring
it. as Il committee has been appointed
to investigate the matter thoroughly
and something of this kind may be
looked for in a short time.
