Lewis p. Sherman of Biddeford has
completed machine for web drawing
upon which he has been at work in secret
for IA years, says an exchange. This is
the only branch of work in cotton mills
which is now done by hand and mill men
have claimed that q machine to do the
work was an impossible to obtain as
perpetual motion. Mr.. Sherman has re-
ceived financial backing from George
Moore, wealthy druggist at Great Falls,
and as the machine stands perfect and
patented in every part, it represents near
ly s35, 900. Mill men say that the ma
chine is perfection and that there is for
tune in it for the men who own the inven-
ton. They predict that in five years every
cotton mill in the world will be supplied
with them. The machine is claimed to be
nearer in it's work than any ever invented
1t has been given thorough trial, and it
brings out work as perfect as though done
by hand. 1t takes an expert web drawer
two hours and half to draw in wrap
which this machine will do in half an
hour and one man can run four of these
machines as easily as section of looms.

ness in every heart and household.
Given at the Council Chamber at Angus

Nine de Bonaparte was left with four
infant children, the youngest, Jerome,
