business.
Chas. j. Ufford has sold nearly all of
the large stock of wagons and carriages
that he manufactured last year, and is
already making preparations for making
a larger number next year. Mr.. Ut
ford's success shows what energy and
courage is able to do in building up a
new business and ought to induce others
to take up the remaining vacant power
upon our stream that is now lying idle.
We need a large furniture mandatory.
wooden mill, a foundry and factories
for working our wood and lumber up into
articles that shall bring us more money
and employ more help. Who will put
in some of these things. We believe
that any person who will come here and
start up good manufacturing business,
will receive liberal pecuniary assist
ance from the people of this village and
town.
Rev. P. N. Granger delivered very
earnest, practical and interesting lecture
on temperance, at the Brick Church last
Sabbath evening. 1t had the effect of
awakening an interest which we hope
may not die until general temperance
movement is begun in this place, and
the stigma that rests upon our name,
and the evil that is doing us so great
harm shall be removed. A temperance
meeting will be held in one OF the
churches next Sabbath, and the prelimi-
nary steps taken towards organizing for
the work. In the course of Mr.. Gran
gers remarks, he said that in the village
where he stopped the night before, the
druggist received box of 'bitters," and
five of the young men who happened to
be in at tie time, were in such a state
of health that each needed a bottle of
bitters. Wouldn't it be we'll for the
boys in this village, to gather lot Of
thoroughwort and make their own bit
tiers A dollar bottle for stuff that is
not half as bitter as this herb, is too
high.
An invitation is extended to every
child in this village and vicinity to at
tend the Picnic that is to be gotten ur

loughby Lake, that the children may b.
