of evergreen and white phlox, and beneath

| The LyndonviIle Journal, at which place C..
| HI. Stearns will now have extensive business
| interests, published the following in its last
| issue: The building of a tub factory at this
| place by the Stearns brothers seems now to
| he an assured fact, and it is expected that
| the buildings viii be erected at once. The
railroad wanted the site where the old box
! shop stood and have leased the Stearns COM
| pany land a few rods south and nearer East
street and will move the boiler house and
| foundation there. The building to be erect
/ ed is to be 36xS4 feet and two stories high,
besides an engine house and dry house will
be necessary. There has been considerable
| delay in making arrangemements for the
| starting of this business here, but the cItl-
zens have worked with will and have over
come every obstacle put in the way and it is
| to be hoped that the expected benefits may
accrue to the town for their efforts and We
see no reason why they should not. The
Stearns are men of means sufficient to carry
on the business, and they think the point a ia
vorabe one for it. The firm will be composed
ofC. II. Stearns of Johnson, and NJ. l..
Stearns of Lebanon, n. II. NJ. L.. will be the
business manager and will move his family
here They will employ from 20 to 40 hands.
They will not only manufacture tubs, but
will put in lumber dressing machinery which
will be "A great convenience, and possibly a
run ofstone for grinding corn. Success to
Won gentlemen.
