meeting About @ were present present IRON d

Dudley. The music was of high order,
the address of welcome cordial and the
address of Mr.. Jones was a very interest
ing and comprehensive history of the
Dudley family, which furnished two gov
ernors for Massachusetts colony, and was
very prominent In all civil and military
affairs, both in this country and in Eng
land. He thought the family as a whole
gave the name to the town, which was
first settled by members of the Dudley
family from RoXbury.
The address by Mr.. Butterworth on
Anne Dudley Bradstreet was delivered in
charming manner. He said in part that
she was the first poet that appeared in
New England and though the poetry was
at times somewhat strained, the sentiment
was delightful. and she was a striking
example of wifely devotion to her hus-
band.
After the literary exercises the whole

Here resides the younger Mr.. Conant with

An Entire Village in
Barre Passes Into
New Hands.
WINCHENDON PARTIES BUY IT.
An Enlargement of the
Plant Gives Promise Of
Great Prosperity.

Barre, Oct. 18.-The sale of an entire
the real estate line. Yet that has &C.
CURED in the transfer of the real es-
tate of Smithville, in this town.
Smithville was part of the estate of
the late j. Edwin Smith of Worcester.
In the settlement of the estate it has
been purchased by company made up
in part Of Winchendon capitalists, and
the manufacturing plant will hereafter
be known as the White Manufacturing
company.
The plant includes a three-story brick
factory, a two-story frame machine
shop, a commodious office, number
of storehouses and other buildings, a
two-story brick building in Which a
country store and the post Office of The
village are located, and Is dwelling
houses, with several barns and sheds.
During the business career Of Mr..
Smith the plant was employed in Mall
ufacturing brown cotton cloth, The
new owners win manufacture fancy
cambrics and goods of that class.
The change means an enlargement of
the plant and different machinery
Ground mas already been broken for a
dye house and another building. More
| help VIII be employed than formerly,
and new tenement houses will be COLI
structeG.
This change in the ownership of
SmithVilc means much to the town of
Barre. and people are highly pleased at
the prospect
Business of all kinds is thriving in
this town, and carpenters are in great
demand. Ir undertaking the new work
at SmitEville it was found impossible
to secure carpenters in this town, as all
had employment ahead which would
last nearly through the winter.
Farmers and others find great difficulty
in securing help for necessary work,
and it IS almost impossible to engage
a man on a temporary job. Work in
the shoe factory is active, and en-
ployees continue their labor until 9
o'clock in the evening. Barre is enjoy
ing period of prosperity unsurpassed
for many years.
