The bobbin factory is running now in
good order. The machinery, which was
brought from Troy, where it had been used
in mill, works well and they appear to be
doing good business They manufacture
hoy oil
ready sold five carloads and have orders

We notice that few of the farmers in
the vicinity of Barton Landing have posted
up pIacards stating that they will furnish
sugar at their sugar houses, to all who wish
for it, at ten cents a piece. It seems to us
that this is very good plan, as it is not
right for two or three men living near a
village to furnish sugar for the whole
village during the sugar season free of
charge.
Just as we go to press we learn of the
death of Henry Danforth, a farmer, living
about one mile from this village on the
South Barton road. Mr.. Danforth had
valvular disease of the heart and we under
stand that he died very suddenly.
He was about go years of age and has been
a hard working man and was respected by
all who knew him. He leaves a wife and
several children who have the sympathy
of the community.
The closing entertainment of the lecture
course was given last Friday evening by
the Temple Quartette Company of Boston,
assisted by Miss Brunette, reader. The
concert given by this company was very
excellent and entertaining one. The work
of the quartette deserves special mention;
we have rarely heard voices blend in more
perfect harmony, and the selections were
both pleasing and enjoyable. The ladies
who accompanied the quartette had excel
lent voices and their singing made pleas
ant variation to the program. The reel
tations by Miss Brunette were good and
well rendered. This concert was good
one with which to close the course as it
leaves every one well pleased. The course
has been a very successful one and it is
generally conceded that we have had bet
ter talent this year than ever before.
