A New Enterprise for Augusta.

Our citizens will doubtless be pleased
to learn, that a company is being or
ganized to establish a creamery in this
city.
Frederick Cony and A. w. Brooks
left Saturday for Massachusetts and
Vermont to visit the large creameries
in those states and purchase machinery
for the new enterprise. The railroads
about us tend to cut Augusta off from
the surrounding country districts and
ANYTHING which will bring u farmers
into town, will be welcomed by our en-
tire community. The Cushnoc creamery
as it will be called, will aim to give the
public, not quantity but quality, and
hope in his way to be able
to pay the farmers more for Their
cream than they could obtain else
where. Several large contracts have
/ already been made which assures the
| success of this company and from the
present indications it will put into cir
| culation at least 100000 a year among
| our farmers.
The location and management will
be announced later.

says:
So much has been written and said
about e. NJ. Hall and Donnellly's Min

to again write at length OF the excel
lent performance that they gave at the

Donnelly for the purpose OF making a
tour of the United States is n OF
which nothing but praise can be said.
The members, whose names are now
so familiar to our readers, are all first

the average of minstrel performances
and leaves a most favorable impress
sion. The orchestra does fine work
and all the people are great In Their

A TIMELY RAIN.
II June Continues Reasonably Wet. Hay Crop
Will Probably Recover.

The recent rains have been gratefully
received, and have done much to
brighten the prospects of a good season
fer crops of various kinds. The out
lcok for the hay crop is especially good,
considering the many cases of winter
kill which had een experienced. 1t is
thought that, if the remainder of the
month shall continue reasonably wet
the hay crop will nearly recover from
its setback of the winter
The cold weather accompanying the
rain is said to cause a slight temporary
setback in the growth of some of til,
vegetables and grains, but all this vii
soon be made up when the warm SUI
gets in its work.

is certainly very gratifying, and, while
the expense has not been great. the
work has been thoroughly done.
On Winthrop hill. on Winthrop street,
h hill, Mr.. Cottle has done a much
needed work, developing what was one
of the worst of the city roads, into one
OF the best. He has not only made the
street there wide, but has evened it
down.
Mr.. Cottle has also made a great
Improvement in Winthrop street as it
leaves the railroad. There he has made
a blind drain which will dispose of
much of the water. and has also con
structed cutters to save the Streets
washing away.
The Dad bed has been thoroughly
reconstructed. and not only for travel,
but for appearances sake, has been
greatly improved.
On the East side Commissioned
