Would Connect Roads At WatervfIle.

The officers of the Watervllle &
Oakland Street railway have filed
petition with the board of railroad
asking for permission
to construct a branch which would
connect the present road on Elm
street, Waterville, with the tracks of
the Waterville G Fairfield road on
Main street. The proposed branch
would connect with the present road
on Elm street, and-run down Spring
street to Silver, thence along Silver
to the corner of Main. This would
make 1t possible for passengers to
ride between Oakland and Fairfield
without having to change cars as at
present The railroad officials allege
that the proposed change is neces-
sary for the reasonable accommoda-
ton of the traffic and appropriate
business OF the corporation.

Various Uses For a Sale.

We were reminded few days
since Of the many uses of a sale,
that do not appear on the bill or
are not heralded by the crier
We are likely to consider a sale
as merely public auction Of
things "old, medieval and new, "
where goods change ownership
and the highest bidder is the
buyer.
This may be the use that first
called a sale into being, but the
educational value of a sale must
not be overlooked especially to
the young. Boys are frequently
denied the request to attend a
sale especially If a days attend
ance at the school Is the cost
when to the country boy no bet
ter opportunity Is afforded to
learn the value of live stock,
gram, and all properties connect
ed with or in use on the farm
than where men of experience
collect and put publicly a valua-
tlon on them. The wlde-awake,
epterprlslng boy who has the
habit of lntelligently reading the
farm papers does not attend the
sale, solely to eat stale glnger-
bread and play game of ball,
hut will be present when the
stock is "knocked off, and will
have mentally guessed the weight
and price per pound of every hoof
disposed Of.
Then, too, the social side of a
sale is likely to be overlooked or
unappreclated. The assem- bling
of nelghbors together leads to a
closer acquaintance and an ex.
change of ideas and experience
adds much to the general fund of
information, and to the encour-
agement of those who may have
made some mistakes IN work or
calculation. 1t is a growing hab-
it with the patron of sales to take
his wife along a whole or part of
the distance, where she, too, by
visiting friend, takes a day off
from all too constant service, and
under most enjoyable conditions
extends her horizon of thought
and capacity for usefulness.
These are only few observa-
tlons, but we are convinced that a
day once considered lost to many,
can be made profitable to the
whole family.

of old Fulton, yes, old Fulton
county is good place to be born
In and If she had the conditions
as favorable to make a living as
lowa's, she would be far superior
to make home and enjoy life as
we live from day to day. 1 am sure
there are men who when they
left the old hills and came west,
their intentions were to return
and spend their remaining years
In old Fulton county, that is, they
intending doing so after accumu.
latingeuough of the worlds goods
