At the Marsac mill work is being
rapidly pushed and things are beginning
to take on a finished appearance. The
engine and boilers are in place nearly
ready for business. The furnaces are
| finished and have fires in them. The
| pans are set, and but little work is neces-
sary to have them in running order. The
conveying and elevating machinery is vet
to be put in, and when this is done, with
a few other necessaries, the mill will be
ready for work. 1t is to be a 30-stamp
mill, and will commence work about the
LIST of January.
The ladies of the Methodist Church
gave basket-and-lunch socable Thurs
day evening in the Methodist Church,
which for real, solid enjoyment ecliped
everything in that line that has taken
place in the Park for some time. Ladies
with baskets Of lunch were sold ut the
very low price OF a hall a cent per pound.
1t was rare occasion and afforded some
OF our modest youths an opportunity OF
obtaining, with cash, what they are unable
to obtain in any other way-a "girl"
1t was indeed an enjoyable success, and
we learn from the ladies that it was also
financial success. We wait for the
next.
GRAVE SUBJECTS.
The Park has two lots of ground sci
apart for cemeteries. The first one, in
closed six or more years ago, was gift
OF five acres from Judge G. G. Snyder
and John Pape (Jack), as well know
, here, was, the one OF all who gave him
! self no rest until he had raised none,
enough to fence it in. 1t is a mile OF
more north OF the town, Il desirable loca
ton for such uses, if only water could bt
, brought along the slope to make il
! possible that ornamentation by shrubs
! and trees be added to make it less barren

though at quite an expense, from TIN

that it will be revived. The whole G
