Marlboro,

Considerable interest is being
taken here in the proposal to dis
continue the agent at Franklin Road
station. Friday night a large as
semblage met the officials of the
Maine Central to discuss the change,
and Marlboro was represented by a
majority of it's inhabitants. 1t is not
clear just what effect the change will
have, but it is evident the proposal
does not meet with favor. Should
the results have an effect on the bus
mess interests of Marlboro, an ap-
peal will be made to the public
utilities commission. The patrons of
this station like fair play, and to cur
tail this service under the veil of
economy does not listen we'll with
many who feel that extravaganza is
practiced in other departments of the
corporation.
Mrs. w. l. Ford led all competi-
tors in the district egg-laying contest
last week. Mrs. Ford has twenty
one pullets, and they averaged thir-
teen eggs a day for the six-day
period. H. A. Springer has entered
the race with his flock of barred
rocks, and perhaps a change will be
noted in the near future. o. w.
Ford has also listed his flock, and
from appearances it looks like
pretty race.
The editorial in last weeks
American relative to the rabbit ex-
port from this county was not al
together approved in this section, al
though perhaps it did ring of SYM
pathetic nature. The little fellow is
not at all considerate of anybodys
feelings in the spring and summer
when the gardens get flavor that
is alluring. He wades in, but now
the table turns. He will be here
just the same, but it is hoped not
in numbers SO recklessly harmful to
business.
