A MEMORIAL service for the late joseph
A. Wing was held in the court room last

son, moved their adoption and that they be
spread on the records of the court, Re-

p Lamson, Judge Carleton, J. H. Senter,
j. w. Gordon, M. E. Smile e. w Bisbee

testimony to the untiring industry, un-
swerving integrity and absolute honesty of
the deceased, to his willingness to assist his
younger brothers in the profession, and to
his worth as private citizen. Judge Stan

the testimony of the court and its members

unusual ability, that they esteemed him as
an equity lawyer without superior in the
state, and that in the science of special
pleading few could equal him.
THE Cotton Manufacturing Company has
capped the substantial repairs that have
been in progress in its line of shops on the
Berlin side by painting the exterior. The
buildings have been thoroughly overhaued
from foundation to roof and are now az
staunch as the most thorough work and the
most substantial and enduring material can
make them The water-power has been i'm
proved and brought to the highest degree OF
economy and efficiency. The company oc-
cupes three of the line of shops, renting
the remainder to the Colby Wringer Com
pany, Thomas Osborn and the Sabin Ma
chine Company. Over eighty men are now
employed in the shops-sxty-ive by the
| Cotton Company-and the weekly payroll is
some $780, The business of the Cotton
| Manufacturing Company is steadily grow
| ing, the sales for the month of March ex-
| ceeding those of the same month one year
ago by the sum of 81 900. Mr.. II. G. Cotton
has efficiently supervised the extensive re-
pairs that have been going on during the
| year past and the changes and improve
ments made in the buildings the company
occupies The latter are now models OF
convenience. In this connection it is inter-
esting to note the progress of the develop
ment of the business of making saddlery
hardware by this company. Some fifteen
years ago the business of manufacturing was
| all done in room some thirty feet square in
the second story of the easterly shop of the
| line OF works. Now the company requires
the entire space of the two easterly shops,
each sixty feet long, thirty feet wide and
| four stories above the Easements and has
| converted the westerly shop into foundry
for making brass and composition castings.
To the enterprise push and good manage
ment of Mr.. H. c. Cotton this development
is in very large measure due.
