rumored that the Carey Brothers,
whose extensive wall paper ma nufac-

own land in and around Milton, and
this being the scene of their early boy

the fact that they are attached to the

rumor is entitled to some credence,
and we hope it may become fact.

It is just as well for people, when they cross the line to give the inspectors a chance to know that everything is ali right.
