The entertainment given by the ladies
Of the Baptist Church last Wednesday

Harris estate, 1000 acres OF timber land

the east Of this village. The major part
of this lies IN the town of Woodford.
Mr.. Billings has fitted up house and
moved there with bis family. He will
repair the mill, enlarge his borders, and
clear up the timber, making Bennington
the basis OF his shipping operations. We
are glad to welcome such man as Mr..
Billings. The resources of our State for
manufacturing are equally as good as
has been shown true Of its agricultural
possibilities by the recent colonization dis

our hill towns and the development OF
go together. There lie
money In both ideas to the one who has
the capital or the energy to assure sue
