PARIs.-Paris Hill Mfg Co. has closed
up its accounts for 1882, and at the stock
holders meeting, last Wednesday, the
Directors made very encouraging report.
The business has been very prosperous,
and q large gain has been made In the
value OF the stock. The financial stand
ing of the Company is better than ever,
and the new year opens with bright pros.
poets. This factory was established by
the people of Paris Hill as village enter
prise, and they have sustained it during
the many years it has been struggling
against adverse circumstances. While
the stockholders have not been favored
with heavy dividends, they have had the
satisfaction Of seeing the Company's prop
erty accommodating year by year, until now,
their stock is worth more than twice its
original value. The village has grown
by the erection Of houses for
and now it is difficult TO find
rent in the village. Several new houses
could doubtless be leased at once, If they
were erected. From twenty to forty thous-
and dollars have been paid out each year
for labor and lumber to those in the i'm
mediate vicinity, and market has been
made for much country produce Our
