Ten Mile. Later it was learned that
the schoolhouse had caught. fire so
uuickly that it was all ablaze before
anyone nearby knew it, and within a
few minutes it was in ashes. Some
weeks ago an attempt was made to
burn this building A. G.. Casio, the

IDENTIFY, by some one starting fire
in the loft, and from reports, it is
said that prediction had been made
that the school house would be burn

There has been some dissatisfacv

and in as much as there has been a
move to consolidate Several schools
in that vicinity, it would seem very
plain that the plans to destroy this
this building have been under way
for some time. The Board of Educs-

a reward for the arrest and convic-

BETTER SERVICE
TO HARRINGTON
FOR THE mail

Pennington wants a better mail
service. This can be had by means
of stage connection with Augusta,
taking the night mail from here early
in the morning and delivering 1t in
Pennington about $50 A. NJ. and af-
fording an improved service to the
offices along the route through Bel
grade, Belgrade Lakes, Rome and
New Sharon. over the new state road
by automobile.
Pennington signers sent in to the
Washinton authorities a petition Sat-
urday asking for q stage or star
route for the transportation of first
class mail and daily newspapers on
ly. Accompanying the petition was
the following statement of facts:
"A majority of the first class mail
arriving in Pennington during the
day is accumulated in Portland dur
ing the night and is thereby delayed
six hours awaiting to be dispatched
by train, arriving in Pennington at
1920 p. M.
IF this mail Is accumulated In Au-
gusta during the night and is dis
patched by automobile stage over the
state road to Pennington in season
to arrive at $50 A. NJ. 1t will save
one whole day In the transaction of
the business of this community with
i the outside world"
Many here recall when there was
n horse drawn stage over this route
between Pennington and Augusta.
Many would like to see the proposed
route established.
