autobiography of Mr. Merrill he would
confer favor by notifying Rev. f. A.
Davis of Sedgwick Also if any one in
this vicinity knows Of the existence OF the
old store book of Col. Carlton. which was
lost number of years ago, will he be kind
enough to write at once to Mr.. Davis?

The holidays have lacked the life and
push in business which are usual when we
have better travelling; but there may be
better days ahead. We ought not to ne
elect our annual round of the business
community. Our excellent hotel, the
Travellers Home. still spreads fine table
and keeps its high reputation Of hospital
ity. This hotel is always open and we are
sure that the host and hostess, Mr.. and
Mrs. Proctor Dorty, will do all within
their power to entertain their patrons.
The telegraph Office is great convenience
to the public. Mrs. II. A. Small is the efiic-
lent operator. There is telephone connec-
ton with Sargentville, BROOKLYN and
Brooksville. Herrick, Smith & Co. still
handle clam bait and do large business.
They certainly deserve large patronage.

and shoes. clothing, some hardware and
grain. j r. Byard does considerable
grocery business also handling dry goods

ing the year a large store has been erec-

trade. There are many more enterprises
