SOME HOT. BALL GAMES ON.

Millbury, Aug. 1.-THE Union Linen
mill on the west side may change hands
the early part of next week. A party of
three men, two from New York and a
third from Scotland. We're in this town
on Monday of this week looking over
the property and from indications it
would seem that the mill would be
sold. Samuel Hull, one of the owners,
was seen by The Spy man tonight and

ing at the mill, but would say nothing
further on the subject. The parties look
ing at the property are probably rep

mill is purchased by them it would be
Of vast Importance to Millbury. The
Union Linen company is plant in
Bramanville and has good water
privilege and has the control of the
water from Singletary for the various
mills down the stream towards Mill
bury center. The mill at present is run
ming and employs about so hands.
If the combine does purchase the mill,
more machinery and larger output
will be the result. In this case more en-
ployees will be needed and a rich boom
will have struck Mii.bury.
