PERSONAL GOSSIP.

| The proudest man at Warmers Mills is l Sergeant c. T. Nicholson, over his field l of tobacco, which he set on June and 4 and has hood several times and all alive and nearly covering the ground un, doubtedly the best piece in this county. if not the state. He is one of the lucky
 ones, this year, by having early plants and only few cut worms to contend with.
 Nelson Barnes. who boards with his
 son at Woodbury. is spending few days with his brother George. Mrs Frank Pierce is quite indisposed. l under the care of Dr Pons. c. B. Squires is sick with measles; he | is also under the treatment of Dr Pons. Mrs Squire, who had it first, has entirely
 recovered, so as to be able to care for her
 husband.
 Alton Wilsey, assisted by James Innis, is laying the foundation for the addition

 The present June days with the drying sun and wind. without any rain, has made the roads terrible dusty and parched up the ground and made the streams very low and caused quite an injury to the grass crop and we believe that there is nothing to prevent being the lightest crop of hay gathered here that was ever known.

WOODBURY.
A FIRE DISTRICT ORGANIZED.

The legal voters of the proposed fire district of the village of Woodbury, pur- suant to the warning of the selectmen,
 met at Town hall on Saturday, June 15, and organized fire district, which they
 named the Orenaug Fire District of Woodbury, taking the beautiful Indian
 name of the cliffs that lie near it's eastern boundaries. The district is two miles long from the residence of the late Thom-
 as Bull, to the uptown bridge, and about
 an eighth of a mile wide. The owners of | from one third to one half of the wealth of the town reside in this district. The
 meeting voted, first to establish the pro- posed fire district, second to call it by the
 name of the Orenaug Fire district of Woodbury and third to hold the annual
 meeting on the first Monday of January | in each year. Asahel W. Mitchell was | chosen clerk, James H. Linsley, Walter | s. Curtiss and J. l.. R. Wyckoff were ap- pointed committee, John W. Nichols col
 lector and Horace D. Curtiss treasurer.
 The committee were directed to contract
 at once with the Woodbury Water Con- pany to furnish the use of it's hydrants to | the district. They were also directed to proceed without delay to procure all nec- | essary hose and hose truck, ropes and | the necessary outfit for hook and lad
 der company. Although we hope never
 to have fire in our dwellings, expedition
 was urged by unanimous vote.
