- The "Fourth' was celebrated in
Middlebury by cessation of business, sun
dry excursions and picnics, and in the
evening by bonfire and general "hulla-
baloo" among the boys. The Washington
Engine Company went to Burlington to
compete for the prizes at the Firemen's
muster at that place. Many of our citizens
also assisted at the Burlington celebra-
ton.
One Of the busiest places OF business
in town is Swiney 4 Burrows Door Fac
tory. We notice on the outside door
tin plate upon which is painted =" Posi-.
lively no admttance. However we ven
tured ill., as we had business. We found
the room hundred and ten feet long and
machinery in all parts, and men tending
them keeping time to the music Their
doors are celebrated for their stock and
finish. Their doors are all made for for
eign markets. and command ready sale.
Men like Swiney 4 Burrows, who give
personal attention to their business. must
succeed.
We notice that there is a general
renovation, painting and papering going
on over in Nichols Building, and it is
said that it is to be used as an extensive
Furniture and Upholstery establishment.
Knowing the parties who are engaged in
the enterprise, we think success is certain.
One feature in the business strikes us as
commendable They buy a good part of
their goods in knock down state, and
give employment here to men living in
oar midst They say the tendency will
be to " knock down prices, and the peo-
pie will get the benefit.
