had done, but 1t went through without
stopping. 1t was composed OF 10 cars,
two OF which were rolling hospitals, fur
nisbed with white cots and the patients
attended by white robed nurses. The
train was late, owing to the fact that an
over Jealous colored gentleman OF the
dining car Braeburn allowed the stove

the bows, so that the car caught IRE. 1t
was extipguished in due course OF time,

kindly mail me the bill for my yearly
subscription Of your good paper. We
look for the Democrat every Tuesday;
it's like a good long letter from home.
I can truthfully say that / did not sppre-
oiate the great value of your paper to
South Paris, until moved to wilton;
There is no local paper in this town, ana
by com psrison very soon noticed ana
missed the many ways that good clean
paper helps In a village OF this size.
Moral: We never truly appreciate
good thing until We have to get along
without it.
