 HUDSON BROTHERS KEEP AN EYE TO BUS-
 NESS.
 Hoop rolling has become such fad in Watertown among the young of the con- munity that Hudson Brothers have ad- ded to their large and growing business hoop making branch. Mr Hudson says he contemplated turning part of his works into contrivances and appliances for the making .of such things for the amusement and exercise of Young Amer ica and his sister for some time. Of course this is only an experiment.. How much it will succeed will depend on the patronage of the branch and the success of the firm in supplying just what is wanted in the line of first-class athletic amusements.
 J. H. NETTLETON's WILL.-ONLY $500 TO
 HIS NATIVE TOWN.
 The will of the late J. H. Nettleton was probated, last Saturday, and show ed the following bequests: To John M. Nettleton, cousin residing in Clinton, N. 9., 5000; to the Ham ton institute, Virginia, S5000; to Bishop Hare of South Dakota, 5000 for work among the Indi- ans; GO American Bible Society of New York, $5O00; to the American Tract So- ciety of New York;. $500O; to the Faith sumptives' home. founded by Charles Cullis in Boston, $5000; to the town of Watertown, $500, the interest of which is to be used in keeping the old cemetery in repair. After the foregoing bequests have been paid the remainder of the es- tate will be divided proportionately among the institutes and beneficiaries mentioned, except John M. Nettleton and the old cemetery association. The will was drawn by F. w. Etheridge of Thom- aston, June z, 1887. Samuel T. Dayton and William J. Munson are appraisers and F. B. Hand executor. Although MT Nettleton made no bequests to the town of his birth, yet by looking over the will it can be readily seen that it all will go to good purposes, and in many cases where it is much needed, especially in such hard times when contributions to such places, which depend largely on charity, are apt to fall off. It will be God-send.
