The line runs through a chartding and delightful section of country from the shire town of the county to its terminus in the beautiful town of Franklin, with its thrifty population of 6,000 inhabi- tants, famed for its seat of learning and numerous interesting and pretty girls. Now, if you wish to enjoy a refreshing ride, the distance of 20 miles into the wilds of Western Norfolk, take the early car froin Dedham about the time the xou rises over Blne hill if the weather is de- lightful, and yum will find yourself snon whizzing along at a good rate of speed up High street, the boulevard of the ju- diclal town, past beautiful residences of millionaires and bankers, Soon, under the safe guidance and care of the motor- man, you are fying over Westwood ridge

Dedham and with a history as old. few years ago West Dedham applied for a cbarter, drew the line and became a town, thrifty, prosperous and contented. The ride through Westwood is a dehght- ful one, and especially to those who are fond of traveling by trolley and can now and then get a day off for the pleasure. The scenery ix well diversified, with here and there a charming bit of landscape thrown in. Leaving Westwood you are bustled along through quite a stretch of country until Medfield, the gem of Nor- folk county, is reached about the time the sun is waking up Broad Meadows for the hay getting. Here the cars stop long enough to give you a chance to blow the fizz from a glass of soda in Ed Suow's fine restaurant Medtield is a beautiful village and a gem iu the eye of every vis itor. The place contains some very fine residencee, indicative of thrift and pros perity, and the people appear to be well groomed, contented and happy. There are a number of old landmarks and places of historical interest within the borders of the town that the Medfeld- ians are proud of, and they are always ready and willing to enlighten strangers with their knowledge of the town and ita bistory. It has the appearance of being a very quiet place, away from the hurly- burly and bustle of the outside world, with no cares and everything going easy. Leaving the charming village of Medfield you are soon crossing the trestle over the lovely Charles, swinging on its way through the meadows. The next place touched by trolley is Millis The most remarkable thing about this town is that a few years ago a general prosperity boomed the town and for awhile busi- ness wae successful, but there were re- verses and prosperity gut bueted and the blinds were pulled down. Since then the town has been trying to get ou its feet again, and there is a likelibood that it will and business be booming again.
