There is n nice little bunch of shrub
berry growing ON the corner of Main

The shop hands are having great
sport fishing now while they are idle

OF course they are not burdened down

where ii VAS unlaaded after some little

took considerable engineering to

engine has been rather slow and con
siderable time has been consumed in
transferring it from the depot to the
mill, consequently the time set for the
shut down has been changed aud no
definite time Inns been set Perhaps
il may not occur until Oct LIST.
A good assembly of shop men gather
each evening nj the 4" Curb Stone
meeting and all the topics of the day
are debated The future prospects OF
the shops seem to come in for good
share of the argument Some seem ia
think and speak of them ms buck
number others take brighter view
and are more hopeful, but it cannot
be denied that the way these shops
have been running lately, these
men have cause for complaint, as soon
another winter will be staring them in
the face

The circus came to town Friday
morning and gave two performances
afternoon and evening and Judging
by the appearance, they had a pretty

to go TO circus when one comes to

pieces. OF course they can make n
noise and that's about ALL
Men Of all ages know too little and
imagine too much, and We don't like
to see mans Imagination carry him
beyond his ability. We have seen
men undertake to do things by main
strength and awkwardness, and the
results are always failure. Good
Judgment is very essential to success.

The Centennial Paper Mill which
had Just started up, owing to quite a
serious break down, was stopped near
~ all of last week. This mill WAS
very much run down, and no doubt
it will be some time before everything
will be working in first class order.
Many repairs had to be made be
fore the mill started, from the toI
of the big stack to the bottom of the
wheel pit, but even then, every de
