WARREN. This we claim to be the
iNoiioou toWH vi hItu llNci, eSpcCihlly lulS
year, it being great place for the manu-
facture Of olapboards and shingles, and
the call for them puts everything in bus
mess condition. We see no men or boys
this year lounging about our streets with
nothing to do, if they are disposed to
work. Every mill is running at its full
capacity and every team that is not used
for farm labor is at work hauling lumber
to the railroad and logs from the mount
aims. There will no doubt be forty car
loads of dressed clapboards shipped from
this town, besides a large stock of shingles.
These in addition to our clothes pin bust
ness and farming utensils makes it bust
ness place to what it was two years ago,
when every lumber dealer in the county
was in bankruptcy and farm produce was
hardly worth marketing. Take it all in
all "better times prevail"

small.
We notice many of the houses have been
nicely repaired and painted in the village
