steam mill took fire and was burned to
the ground. Not far from where that
mill stood, another was erected by Mr..
Currier, the engine repaired and put IN
running order in 1875. After it was
built, he sold one-half to VIM. Farr, and
they carried on the business together for
awhile, and then sold out to Messrs.
Weed & Stevens. But, on account of the
low price of lumber, the distance from
market and other inconvenience, the
mill has been run but part of the time
since. There Is now but very little busl-
ness done in the village.
