The Paper Fabrique Company, Of
Buena Vista, has been running stead
lily ever since it started several months
ago. Ready sale has been found for all
tho goods manufactured, but, of course,
on ninety days time. The failure of
certain stockholders to pay up their
stock, from which the running capital
was to have been secured, made this
concern dependent largely upon the
prompt receipts from sales to furnish
the pay of hands. On last Saturday the
managers, failing to receive draft
from New York, were unable to pay off
the hands AMI requested indulgence
until Wednesday. On Monday several
attachments were served upon the COM
pany and the factory shut down until
the matters could be adjusted. Other
men are being found to take the inter
est given up by those who could not pay
and the loss of a few days work will no
doubt serve to put the company in better
shape. We understand that work will
be resumed next Monday,it not sooner.
Work has commenced at the Franklin
