youthful and beautiful trees, would be
hard to overestimate.
Unity. Let there be one tree set out
in the most desirable and fertile corner
let it be a long-lived tree; let it receive
special care and let it be known as the
''Morton Tree of 1902" his death year

CHEAPER THAN WALKING.
From Augusta to New York and Ee
turn for Only $3.50.

Few Augusta people realize that it
was possible during the past summer
to go from Augusta to New York for
$3.15. Yet sucn is the fact. OF course
it is not to be supposed that Pullman
cars could be used nor that quick time
could be made. but if one wished to
enjoy a trip to the metropolis of the
country and was willing to spend a
couple Of days on the journey it could
have been accomplished in the follow
ing way:
Take a morning car on the electric
road to Winthrop in season to connect
with the Maine Central train to Lewis
ton. arriving there at II O'Clock. This
would cost IS cents. Then take the
Lewiston. Brunswick & Bath Street
railway to Brunswick and the Portland
& Brunswick Street railway for Port
Ia nd. costing 60 cents. AT Portland the
opposition steamer to Boston could be
taken, the fare being 80 cents, which
included supper and breakfast. This
steamer will reach Boston the follow
ing morning. Several hours might be
spent at the Hub, and then trolley
cars can be utilized to Providence.
The trip between the two cities may be
made in four hours if the connections
are carefully looked after. By getting
transfers the total cost will be TO
cents.
The next stage of the journey Will De
made in a steamer from Providence to
New York on what is known as the
opposition line. The fare is so cents.
Tire boat leaves at 7.30 p. NJ, ana
reaches New York river at an early
hour in the morning. This makes the
trip from Boston to New York $1.l5. OF
course if one has a Stateroom 1t IS an
extra charge as it would be ordinarily.
The total fare from Augusta to New
yorI, is therefore S3.15, which makes
lust $3.50 for the round trip.
