THE CLOTHING FACTORY NEARLY COM
PLETED.
Work on the Cornish Clothing Factory
will finish this week and another fine build.
ing will be added to the good number al
ready standing. The building is S0x35, two
stories and half high. with large basement.
1t will be heated throughout by steam from
an eighteen horse power boiler, and all the
machines, together with an elevator in the
rear of the building will be run by steam,
from six horse power engine. The build
ing is convenient and we'll adapted for the
manufacture of clothing, and 1t Is thought
for business early in the fall. It is their in
tention to make the pay roll from one hun
dred to one hundred and fifty dollars per
day. 1t goes without saying that 1t will add
much to our little village and help business
Would not the public be very greatful to
the authorities If they would give-us a new
sidewalk from Hatche's Mill to John Ram
sells? The present affair Is not only dis
graceful but 1t Is dangerous.
A few seats in the park would be inexpen-
sive ard would add much to the general APP
pearance of the place and would often be
very convenient.

house on Wednesday, July 22nd, is getting

at times. He has received some injury In
his back. which has caused a numbness of
his lower limbs, although this is hoped to be
nothing permanent.
The summer arrangement at the Cornish
post office is by far the best of anything yet,
for by this schedule we have one more mail
to Portland and two more from Bartlett
than ever before.
Quite good number from this place will
burg. Several parties have already secured
