CONCERNING "REECE."

Holders of Reece button-hole stock
in this section will be interested in
the following from the United States
Investor of March "a:
THE sharp rise in Reece button
hole stock during the present week
has led to some inquiry as to the
cause thereof. 1t is understood that
the real reason is that the company
has made arrangements to enlarge
its business by introducing large
number of its machines into the col
lar and cuff manufactures at Troy,
New York. This increased business
will ma aturaliy open up a much larger
field for the use of the companv's S
machines, which heretofore have
been largely limited to the shoe
trade, in which line of trade they
have had nearly 1000 machines
leased on royalty.
THE career of this company since
the payment of dividends was begun
in 1886 has been exceedingly pros
porous. 1t paid a quarterly dividend
of per cent in 1886, a dividend of
51a per cent in 1887, 8 per cent in
1888, 10 per cent in 1889, and in
the first half of 1890, 10 per cent.
In that year the stock was doubled,
and in the last half of 1890 6 per
cent was paid on the increased stock
and in 1891, 1892 and 1898, divi-
dends of 16 per cent per annum were
paid on the increased stock. The
holder of the original stock, there
fore, in seven and half years has
| received 1887 per cent, or an aver
age of 20 per cent per annum, GER
tainly very remarkable return for
any stock, manufacturing or other
wise"

on Sunday morning of pneumonia.
He had been employed in the sealing
room for some years, and leaves a
widow and one daughter. Mr..

Science, and the fact that he en-
ployed no physician made it neces-
sary to hold an autopsy before the
remains could be taken to Littleton,
n. H., for burial.

died quite suddenly on Saturday
last, of brain trouble. sad feature
of the case is that Mrs. Waite is in

SPECIAL VILLAGE MEETING.

The voters are reminded that there is
another village meeting at the Town
Hall next Monday afternoon at 2 m.
to consider the water question. The
meeting is called by a petition to see
what action the voters will take on
the special committees report, and
to see if the citizens will vote to in
crease the efficiency of the present
