An ENJOYABLE AUTOMOBILE TRIP One of
the party who returned last week from a trip
In Mr. V. A. Summons car has kindly furnish
ed US with the following notes: The journey
| from Belfast to Vermont took two days. We
went by way of Augusta. Lewiston and Poland
Springs, spending our first night at little
place called Webb's Mills, in the town of Casco
The second day we went through Naples and
Fryeburg to Conway, N. H., thence through
Crawford notch to Breton woods, where we
got glimpse of old Mount Washington. Pass
ing through Bethlehem, Littleton and Lis bon
we reached Woodsville. Here we crossed the
Connecticut and four mile ride brought US to
our destination, the home of Hermon Miller, in
Ryegate. After three days of the enjoyment
which the farm and nearby lake could fur
nish we began the return journey Thu; sday
morning We varied our course by coming
north through Gorham and Norway to Lewis
ton, where we visited the fair grounds Coming
| through Augusta and Waterville we reached
home Friday night The most beautiful place
We passed through was Naples, in our own
State. Near Fryeburg we came upon tablet
commemorating battle between "a Massachu-
sets soldiers, led by Captain Lovewell, and 80
warriors of the Pequanket tribe, in the year
1725. The tablet stood by little lake which
looked as calm and peaceful as though never
disturbed by the sound of battle. With fine
weather, good roads and no accidents, the
journey was very enjoyable one.
