Remember the Horse Fair on the 18th
and 18th. There are large number of
entries and the prospects are for most
excellent fair.
The new store being built by the Fair
banks will be very large-probably the
largest in northern Vermont-and it will |
be built in that thorough style which
characterizes all the buildings erected by
this firm.
The Electric Light company is putting
in new line called the commercial cir |
cult for the purpose of furnishing an arc
light suitable for stores and inside light |

on the street circuit will be used on the |
new line, and a new larger one will take
its place. The lights on the commercial
lights, from dark till midnight and will
cost $65 year. The dry goods store of |
e. & T. Fairbanks & Co., Lougee Bros. & |
Smythe and E. D. Steele & Co.'S clothing

G. III. Fitzgerald, E. G. Robinson, S. d.
Hobson, have completed a trade for a |
large tract of timber land in Wild River
territory in Maine and New Hampshire.
The tract is estimated to contain 200, 000,- |
900 feet of lumber, $4,000, 900 of which |
would be delivered in Gorham and the |
rest in Gilead, Maine. The purchasers
are heavy and practical lumber operators, |
Fitzgerald and Robinson having a large |
mill in Averill, Fitzgerald one in Island |
Pond and two in Avery's Gore, and Hob
son one mill in Newark and one in Brigh-
ton. During the past few years the total
output of these mills has been 20, 900, 900 |
annually. The lumber from several of these
mills is getting a little hard to reach, |
which fact accounts for the late large pur-
chase The intention is to erect one large |
mill on the tract which delivers at Cor
ham, with a capacity of 5000 a day. The
next season they will probably bnild one
or two mills on the tract which delivers
at Gilead. They intend to build a mill,
capacity of 12O, 900 daily ,on the purchase
or about 30,0O0,O00 year. r. J. Clifford,
who has built several mills for Fitzgerald,
and has charge of one or two of his mills,
will probably be sent to Maine to put up
the first mill and superintend the start of |
the business Union.
