Our veteran station agent, benjamin
F. Eaton, is in receipt of letter from
Miss Mary Pugh, in which she advises
him of her safe arrival at her home in
Sebastopol, Cal. MIR. Eaton chances
to be Miss Pugh's correspondent from
the fact that he charged the con
ductors of the trains on which she
was to travel to aid her in making the
Journey safely. The conductors be-
tween Skowhegan and Boston did not
win Mary's appreciation by their
attentions but from that city westward

agreeably made. Miss Pugh states
that, at Il dance held on the cars while
en- route, she ''beat the crowd.n The
letter closes with love to Mr.. Eaton
and contains several messages CT
similar import TO other SkoWhegan
citizens. A subsequent letter states
that it is Miss Pugh's intention to re-
tnrn hera in De cember
