service than had been furnished by
that company, but instead of getting
better service where we could read

compelled TO use three, and as to the
electric light, sc is as uncertain as
the reports Of the United States

My Dear Capital DO give me
space in your valuable paper to say
that, in all my travels, never have
seen such a mud hole as Eastport, and,
tc say the least, ii is disgrace.
The sidewalks, with but few excep-
tions, remind enc of the swafnps in
Florida. While the streets, if they
can he so called, are as impossible as
a by-eountry road Situated as it
is, such condition Of affairs should
not be, and if Eastport does not pos
sess a sufficient number of public
spirited citizens who care less for
self, and more for Me community at
large, and who will Immediately form
ulate some plan to better the said de-
plorahle situation, | say, unless this
be done, the sincere wish of large
number is, for the present Legisla-
ture to incorporate the place, so that
&astport will be credit TO the coun-
ty, and pleasure TO its residents.
