APPLETON.
The article in recent number of The Jour-
nal, written by Capt. J. O. johnson of Liberty,
finds hearty response here in Appleton, where
communication by steam electric road is
much needed. A road connecting with the War
rem road and following the Georges river
through this town and Searsmont, and taking
in Liberty, would be great help to the towns
named and would certainly prove to be prof
liable investment. Of course Appleton has
the advantage in some respect over the other
towns named, as it is much nearer the Union
branch of the M. c. R. R.. but we want the
road, and want it badly, and the citizens of this
town are ready to cooperate with Liberty and
Searsmont in their efforts to get the road. :.
