Seems Like Old Times!

Many papers throughout the country
run daily short articles briefly refer
ring to incidents Of % or so years ago
and many people have derived much
pleasure in thus recalling events of
years ago. Buff war conditions keep
on changing the things we have been
accustomed to, those departments may
be changed into a table of compari-
sons, for we seem to be returning to
many of the conditions of ye olden
days, as per the following plant from
the Bath times:
Bath people who have had occasion
to travel to Augusta since the change
of time on the Maine Central find that
they have to wait from 732 to $50 in
Brunswick for their train, if they go
on the 7.15 from here. Travellers to
Lewiston on this train find that from
Brunswick they travel in a day coach
attached to a freight train which
dumps them out at Crowley's as this
is the nearest point to Lewiston that
this train reaches.
