We expect to see our clubbers out
clear on their papers within two weeks
from the time their names are receiv-
ed, except in the Yankee Blade. If
we get that thing Strengthened all out
clear by April next, we shall be salts
fed. The Blade is the worst paper we
have to do with-a sort of continued
story concern. Our Blade folks must
possess themselves in patience.
The grip maintains a good strong
hold on this place as yet, although
many Of the first sick are now getting
out of doors. A few get the pneumo-
mia out of it, but no deaths occurred
last week. Many on the hills outside
the village are struggling with the
disagreeable disease. Probably more
than half of the families in this village
have had the unwelcome visitor to
entertain.
O.V. Percival Of Glover, sends us
his weather record for the year 1891,
from which we CLEAN the following:
Wind was south 161 days; west, 81 days;
north, 1913 days. Rain fell on 81 days,
snow on 43 days. The total fall measur
ed at it fell, was II feet and inches.
The warmest days were June Is, July
u, Aug. %, and Sept. IS. The cold
est days were Jan. Is, Feb. 5 and IA,
and March and II. Crops of all
kinds were above the average. The
latter part Of the season was remarka
bic for it's pleasantness. The fall was
dry and the roads were excellent.
There was sleighing up to Jan. 1, 1892,
for a few days only, and the new year
opened with the fields almost bare of
snow.
From letter written us by Ora A.
White o1oap tho fO11ouyi1,ty 70 of IL,
regard to his numbering operations for
CasWeu & French at Lowellton, Maine.
He went into the woods Sept. 10 with
Is horses and so men, and Dec. Is had
skidded 10000 logs. Meanwhile he
built on the river, for increasing the
facilities for floating logs, a dam of
200 feet in length, cleared the river
bank for rolling in purposes distance
of one mile, and built a good barn
The weather all the fall has been most
favorable for business. Dec. Is there
was inches Of snow and log drawing
had been commenced. It is purposed
to put timber for 4, 900, 900 feet of lum-
Der into the mill and into the river
1t will require SO horses and so days of
shedding to get the stock in. Help,
mostly Canadian, is cheap and plenty.
The horses are largely sent from here,
also beef and other provisions. Mr..
White has both courage and ability to
push big job, and he makes success
