 Nov 3o.-This place is known as a manufacturing town but there is a large number of its people who live on the land and are engaged in that old and honorable art known as hus- bandry. The things grown here are many. Among them are peaches. grapes, apples. pears. quinces. mull- berries. black berries. raspberies, bill berries. cranberries. entrants. wainuts, chestnuts. English or black. walnuts. butternuts, hazlenuts, pop corn. sweet corn. yellow corn, and then long list of garden produce. If the above were only raised in large quantities 1t would be to our profit and give us good position among the towns and cities of the state and union.
 It is about time to think of 1895 in connection with one of next years almanacs with pieces to make one laugh in 1t.
 Five hundred cups of coffee should be given away to young men and to old men and to middle-aged men each Sat urday night at the Y. M. c. A. room or at the town hall. If that is a better place. There Is need of soclability here. After the custom was we'll start ed the crowd should have the privilege of paying for the coffee.
 Standing on Center street near the railroad crossing at about o'clock on most any week day evening and per son may enjoy the music which comes to him from the shops near by where hundreds of hands are busy working at machines and by the aid of artificial light.
 Some of the farmers are blowing this week while others are taking in corn stalks from their corn fields.
 There is family living in the wes- tern, or rather the southwestern part of this town whose members are evil dently happy. Although living several miles out of town the house and yard | are kept in good shape and about twi- light if one passes there bright lights | may be seen in all the rooms. This | hdNse is at the corner of two roads and the lights may be seen 8 long way | off, A stranger would call the place | lonely, but this cannot be as every thing about the place is cheerful, and | the people must have the spirit of the high hills and mountains near by | brightening up their lives from day to day. Travellers pass that way and go on. Not far from the house are three | mountain brooks. The view from the yard is wide in extent and such that you always would like to look at. | There are other places on this six-mile road.
 Two horses without a driver and hitched to long work wagon turned a corner at a good pace Wednesday, near noon than isnorning, and travelled a quarter mile to and acrdss the rail- road track and out of sight with as much ease and as true to themselves as if the driver was on his accustomed seat. They went over two river bridg- es before getting to the railroad cross ing and met no mfshap. s
 There is not much talk here as yet about what to plant next spring. The failure of potatoes to grow as large and as many in hills as formerly is matter to talk about, but potatoes will cover as many acres as formerly and the work of keeping off the potato bugs from injuring the crop will go on. If our farmers were supplied with two hundred additional horses and with blows, the spring would open here on an agricultural community which would do it's share in the work of the world. Horses and blows are needed and extra men to work to reclaim land.
