SOUTH PARIS, July li.-foor nay Wealn-
er yesterday and today, and the farmers
are improving the time TO DO up their trad
ing, milling, blacksmithing, ETC., and our
streets are the liveliest that they have been
for q long time. The shower OF Thursday
afternoon wet down large quantities OF
hay all through this section. The first
fair day will be lively one among the
hay-makers.
S. NJ. King reports good success selling
the Leonard Moving Machine and Yankee
Horse Rake. They are both superior ma
chimes. +. B. Maxim has charge OF Mr..
Kings haying while he is away. Mr.. h.
is an enterprising farmer, and here one
may see as fiue lot OF orcharding as can
be found in the County, and everything
around looking neat and thrifty. He has
some extra good corn and half acre of
splendid cucumbers in addition to his 9th.
er crops. He plants his corn so as TO cul-
tivate both ways-thus eiiecting great
saving in time and hand labor and leaving
but little to do with the hoe.
Mr.. Ansil Dudley has completed the
foundation walls and set the underplnning
stones for the new school house. Like all
Mr.. Dudley's work, this is thoroughly
good job. Mr.. S. p. Maxim has the stills
and floor timbers on and first floor laid,
and as the frame is all prepared it will be
but a few days before 1t will be all raised
complete.
Frank Thayer has commenced repairing
his tenement house (the bee-hive) and has
already completed bay-window and piaz-
"a on the south side.
II. n. Bolster Is about home again, but
not looking very strong.
E. Fletcher has about the finest set OF
double team work harness ever brought
into town. 1t fairly "astonishes the ma
tives."
During one of the thunder showers Of
last week the lightning struck the rod on
Charles II. Shaw's house, following 1t
down and going OFF into the ground few
feet away. Owners Of houses can draw
their own conclusions.
Fred Bonney has enlarged his premises
by the purchase Of IA acres Of land Of
Lyman Morse. This makes Freds one Of
the finest places on Hill Street. Fred be-
lieves in the economy Of keeping his build
ings well painted and having everything
around him neat and tasty.
Burnham & Morrill,, the corn packers, are
making preparations to do the largest sea-
sons work ever done in So. Paris. They
have larger force than usual making
cans, and large acreage of corn planted
and the most of 1t is looking remarkably
well.
Alonzo Shurtleff expects to move Into
his new house the last of the month. His
is one of the best building lots in the VII
lage, and it Is quite an addition to the VII
lage to have nice house stand on 1t.
