most of the stores were closed, and nothing
of importance transpired during the day.

a demand for teams and the liverymen If
nobody else. had enough to do. New Years
eve the Knights of Labor had dance, and
last night Mrs. Charles Bailey, Mrs. A. Cod

University circle at the vestry Of the church.

farce was given by the ladies and supper
also, was served.
The citizens of Sacearappa are glad to
hear that within month another manufac-
tory will probably be started in their village.
J. r. Pulsifer of Auburn, has been negotia-
ting with the Saccarappa Leather Board
COMPANY for the lease OF their counter fac
tory and it Is understood that II he can make
satisfactory arrangements he will move into
the factory at once and employ a crew Of
some 25 or 80 hands in the manufacture Of
counters. Within week the matter will
probably be settled, it is hoped in favor Of

lage that the Portland Star Match company
Is to move their mandatory to Saccarappa,
Quimby is without foundation.
