Communicated
The report circulated around Lambert
vile, that the New Hope Cornet Band
would charge five dollars extra for play
ing in Lambertville, is not so. The Citi-
zens Cornet Band of that place tried to
make that agreement with ne, but we
don't see where the fun comes in. 1t
would be we'll enough if there was but
one band in the neighborhood. We are
not so green, if We do play slow grade
music M

These mills have no doubt been long
and favorably known to our readers as
the property of our former citizen, Mr..
John A. King, now Of New York City
The management of the mills since Mr..
Kings departure, has rested entirely with
Mr.. Daniel Mathews, of New Hope, who
has ably filled the position of Genera
Manager, increasing the amount and the
quality Of the manufactured articles, by
reason of his long experience and skill in
his department.; so that the mill has not
been idle, and has had plenty of business
to keep it steadily going. The best New
Jersey flax is used. Several grades OF
Irvine are made, from medium to the finest
quality. Hemp and flax are both used in
manufacturing the products OF the mill.
The raw material is first received at the
lower mills, where it is dressed by skilled
hands, and the tow and outer hard coat
ing is removed. 1t is then taken to the
upper mill, where it IS spun, twisted and
made into the different grades of Irvine,
for the market The mill is run by water
power derived from the celebrated Ingham
Spring stream. This mill property from its
location, in the hollow near the town, is
not conspicuous one, yet within its
walls, there is a business dono that is
steadily increasing, and reputation also,
that bids fair to rival in the future, its
competitors in the cities.
