WASHINGTON COUNTY. =
The Republican says that the usual story was
told some time ago, that but limited amount
of numbering would be done this winter on the
Machias waters. This seemed reasonable

a large stock of the manufactured article was
on hand. But the machine has got to move;
and when the gearing has not absolutely broken
down, it must move. So it is said the usual
number of teams will go into the woods this
season, and of course the usual number Of
men.
