are three stores in Lunenburgh, II. A.
Cuttings, Bowker & Sons, in the will

deal in general merchandise. The store
Of IL. \. Cutting is the largest, having
in addition to the usual stock, large

and the post Office; it does not deal
extensively in heavy goods, but mostly
in dry and fancy goods, and large

the sole owner having some two or
three years ago bought his partners in
terest in the business. The store Of J.

keeping largestocks of flour, corn, meal
and coarse salt, with groceries and a
small line of dry goods. They deal
heavily in butter, beef, pork and po-
tatoes which they ship in large quanti-

and sells mostly in exchange for farm

t years, during which time he had NOR
practice than he could attend to. Til
u land in Lunenburgh is good for farm

g stony, notably the farm. of Roswe
Blood. who, report says, sharpens til

between the rocks. The most ston
y part of the town is the west portion
- but where there are smooth places .th
= ground is rich and yields heavy crops
There are some very valuable nIettiU
Il farms, owned and carried on by goo
: farmers who know how to carry 0
farms and practice what they know
Some of these farms get overlooked i
the spring by the river, but as gene
al thing no damage is done except tn
loss of a few rods of fence. There is
= great deal of timber land in Lunel
