men has concluded not to be ''sawmill
joe any more, and has bought farm
at West Glover and gone to planting po-
tatoes. Farming is an honorable bust
ness Charles. profitable and healthy.
Hope you may hit with spade and pick,
so as to find chunks of gold big as a
brick.
The high water in the pond last Tues
day, crowded the mill-logs so heavily
down upon Mosman's dam, that at one
time it was feared it would give way
and let six feet of the pond down through
Water street, which of course would
have made things look blue to the peo-
pie living in that vicinity. AS it was,
the rush of water stove Pillsbury's fume
all to flinders, the replacement of which
will take about a hundred dollar bill
from Pillsburys pocket.
The frost melted out from under
pile of 10000 feet of lumber stacked up
in Baldwin's mill yard, and in the after
noon of Sunday the 18th inst, it took a
start and pitched off down the hill, the
top of the stack landing l5 or 20 rods
from where it started Some persons at
the foot of the hill who saw it '.come"
thought there must be an earthquake
around, and Baldwin wishes he'd known
about it in season to saved himself a
couple weeks work in getting the pile
up the hill again.
Who does not enjoy riding in a nice
new wagon, one that runs so still that
your coming can not be heard until
the wheel strikes the door-stone, -better
than an old shaky-whif1etreed, rattle
wheeled played-out concern, that puts
one in agony and nearly shakes his pud-
ding out, at every turn Of the wheel ?
| Hey Charles j. Ufford has large
number of the first mentioned, which he
offers for sale at remarkably low prices.
Look out for his advertisement one OF
these weeks, which will give full partic-
ulars.
A few new things are coming to light
in Barton this spring. Austin Mosmar
is building new house over on the plair
opposite B. Mosman's which will I'M
prove the appearance of that street. O
V. Joslyn is making a respectable add
ton to his house. As men grow rich
their houses grow larger. j. Barney
Robinson is building 5000 hen house
with rafters strong enough to hold thu
roof in place when his great rooste
crows. Charley Robinson is also build
ing the same kind Of house, near hi
fathers buildings. Wish we had hen
Most everybody that has house wit
old shingles or dirty paint, is replacin
the same with new. That's right, gen
tlemen, now you've made a start, kee
the ball a-rolling- on, a-rolling on.
