Augusta to Washington by Auto.

A ride from Augusta to Washington
on the new auto stage line managed
by the young son of Hon. Joseph Will
hanson of Augusta, was one of the
recent delightful experiences of the
writer. The distance is some % miles
and through country where every
moment brings to view some new and
interesting object. The start is made
from the Augusta post office in the
early morning and in a short time we
are whirling past the Togus ponds and
on towards Windsor Corner. This is
a nice little hamlet where all, even
to the spirit of man, is more or less
divine From there the road leading
to Cooper's Mills. in Whitefeld is ta-
ken and in another half-hour that
hustling village is reached Grassy
pond lies just beyond, and then we
whirl through RaZoryille, the home of
Pearl ingalls,, one of the heroes of the
old Sth Maine. Only two miles more
and Washington village, the ultima
thule of our pilgrimage that day, was
reached.
Tender memories are there, for it
was in that town where several years
of the writer's boyhood days were
passed, and there many of his earliest
and warmest friends still reside.
Among these We're Hon. L. NJ. Staples
and James l.. Burns, both of whom
were there to extend a cordial well

Washington is one of the old towns
of Knox county and has long been
noted as one of the best. 1t is located
in the extreme northwestern part with
its adjoining towns of Somerville ana
Jefferson lying in Lincoln county. Here
are two splendid sheets of water
known as Washington and Clark s
ponds, and from these the Muscongus
and Damariscotta rivers take their
rise. Here in the extreme northwest
ern part of the town is the great hill
known locally as Patricktown noun
tain, an elevation that rises several
hundred feet above the sea. Here. al
so, are primeval forests, through
whose dark shadows silvery streams
are leaping onward to the sea, and
here in these cool retreats the tired
worker of the city may find surcease
from toll. A grand old town is Wash
ington, and one that is worthy of the
name it bears-L. c. Bateman in Lew
