South WATERFORD, March S.-Mr. G..
W: Smith has his mill running now.
The water was six inches to a foot
deep the whole length of his dam, and
had it not been for the frost in the
ground Mr.. Downs's shop would
have gone. IT it had it, would have been
a hard blow to the village as he en-
ployes about 80 hands. The town has
quite q loss on bridges and washouts. 1t
ls estimated that it will take more than
$4,000 10 cover the loss.
The measles and mumps are having a
run through the village again.
Mr.. J. Fl. Anderson has closed up his
clothing store and gone to work for
j. III. Downs again.
Albert Chesley is moving into Mr..
Carl's rent over Newell &sDurgin's drug
store.

sign for sweet corn enough so that W.
