Wright Proves a One Man Farm Can Lead in Maine
The article profiles Mr. Wright of Sagadahoc who transformed a 100 acre farm into a model operation. He hayed as much as 100 tons in a season, markets early vegetables and corn, keeps a 35 head Holstein herd, raises feed, and runs three silos with horses, pigs and poultry. His son advances early planting, and the piece notes his shift from oxen to horses to improve efficiency.

Last Toll Bridge of the County at Arrowsie and Woolwich
The Arrowsie Woolwich toll bridge remains a key seasonal crossing with a draw, serving travel toward Boothbay and the islands. Inhabitants of Arrowsie enjoy free passage while others pay tolls, and the draw tender keeps tolls in a unique toll house at the Arrowsie end. The keeper Philip We Day passed years ago, now John Snipe holds the post as the bridge's days of tolling appear to extend.
