Daily Kennebec Journal

The wayside watering troughs in the country so welcome and refreshing to the traveler and his beast, are monuments to the memory of good old Governor Hubbard, whose kind practice used to call him into the country, and who hundreds of times must have sorely lamented their absence. When Governor he was instrumental in getting the law that compensates in part for their establishment and maintenance. No rural traveler now goes far into the country without drinking at the wayside spring in memory of Governor Hubbard, the traveler's benefactor, and who appropriately signed the original "Maine Law."
