There lives in the north part of this
town man whom we think ought to set
down as the ''stingiest man" He has
mown the blackberry bushes on the road
side to prevent his neighbors from pick
ing the berries, has driven them from
his pasture, when bushels of berries
have been falling to the ground, and
even cut down thrifty apple trees to
prevent the boys from taking his apples
o. W. circuit and A. B. Ruggles have
constructed and put into operation at
the O. & G. Steam mill, Geographic
Watchman's Detector, which is connect
ed with clock and so arranged that it
records the time whenever the watch
man is on duty, and when he fails to
obey orders it makes record against
him. Wires can be run from the in
strument to and from all the buildings
as we'll as the mill, and the record will
tell whether or not the Waterman visits
them at the proper hour. This little
arrangement seriously interferes with
the slumbers of shiftless watchmen.
