A new wooden mill on the site of the
old Shaw tannery at Hartland, is the
possibility that is at present cheering the
hearts Of the Iiartlandites. Several en-
terprising men of means are seriously
considering the project, and the success of
the wooden manufactures in the past is n
shining object for the capitalists. The
new wooden mill, now nearly completed,
erected by the Lynn Wooden Company,
will probably be the finest in the State.

floors and building the huge tank that
occupied the tower, and to be used to
store water for the automatic sprinklers.
