The Newtown bee. (Newtown, Conn.) 1877-current, 1889-03-01
WOODBURY..

Those interested have not yet given up
the effort to start condensed milk fac
tory here and others from abroad are
looking at the place. If the present eff
fort is not successful, a creamery will
probably come in as the next best thing.
At the town meeting, it was voted to
appoint committee of eight to canvass
the town for signers to petition in IA
vor of the O'Neil bill, with power to ap-
point subcommittee of three to appear
before the judiciary committee. 1t was
also voted that our Representatives be
requested to do all in their power to aid
in passing the bill.
1t is reported that our eNpressman, F.
r. Ford, is ready to dispose of his prop
erty here and try the climate of Califor-
mia. Mr. Ford has run a wagon from
this town to New Haven for many years
and has been prominent in good works,
in church and society. He will be great
| " missed and friends will wish that the
rumor may prove untrue.
If Waterbury's plan is carried out, our
farmers will pay a tariff of SOC per 100
/ on their beef, veal and mutton. 1t was
so stated in our town meeting by Mr.
Peck, who is one Of the principal dealers
carrying meat products to the Water
bury market.
i The Kickapoo Indians will give a con-
i cert March l, to end with dance free to
all. During their stay, they have gath
cred in harvest of shekels and now are
trying for crop in Watertown.
Grain and feed of all sorts are very
low, so low that farmers are buying in
) large quantities and do not intend tt
plant so much next Spring. Oats at $50
per bushel and corn at soc cannot be rails
ed in Connecticut and our farmers must
raise truck in order to get profit. Some
are making so worth of hens pay better
than any acre on the farm. The day o.
! small things and small profits has come
] for the Eastern farmer and he may as
), well meet the issue at once and bend be
!, fore he breaks.
The Foresters held their annual ball
last week, with large attendance o
brethren and outside friends. The Ordel

among the mechanics employed by tn
American shear company. The dues ar
$ small and the amount paid in BY eacl

returned at the end. Both orders are en-
t tirely benevolent and none but worthy
] industrious men are allowed to join.

dressed beef bill, requiring beef to be il
!, spected on the hoof and aimed at Wesl
