The mills and shops west Of the village
lately belonging to Enos Canfeld, have
recently been purchased by Mcssrs. La
tlrop 4 Walker Of Manchester, and con.
sist Of a saw mill, grist mill and smaller
wood machinery. The water power is a
good and reliable one all the year, and
does a large stock and custom work.
North of the village is the saw and
planning mill of W. L. McAuley. This is
a good mill, well built and furnished with

business, but for some reason has not been
driven for the last year or two as il should

that quite an amount Of lumber must he
