Spencer, July 25-At last Spencer
seems destined to have other indus
tries besides the boot and shoe man
ufactories. The Ne Plus Ultra Yeast
Company, corporation Incorporated
under the laws of the state of New
Jersey and capitalized at $3.50, 900, today
put men at work repairing the old grist
mill, corner of Elm and Valley streets,
for the purpose Of manufacturing the
new yeast, the invention Of David
Granger Of the Spencer Steam Bakery
Company.
The yeast company will start on a
small basis at first, and as the de-
mand for the yeast becomes greater,
gradually enlarge it's plant until it ri
walls that of Fleischman, the king of
yeast-makers.
Today carpenters are at work tear
ing down the old partitions and lay
ing new floors. The company pro
poses to start up with about q hands,
but hopes to soon enlarge the force of
operators. The officers of the new
company are: David Girouard, presi-
dent; Luther Hill, treasurer, and DR..
Marc Fontaine, clerk.
Another new business is to come to
| town in short time. H. LIE Page of
Dudley has leased the mill belonging to
Michael Manning in Hillsville for the
purpose of manufacturing knives. Hills

a. few flowers belonging to Francis
Adams. Adams was instantly aroused

which, being frightened, suddenly start
ed, dragging Adams for quite a dis
tance and causing him to break a

nand. Adams at once started for an
ofncer, but the case was settled by the
boys agreeing to pay for the broken
pitcher.
The Spencer hremen read with
amusement the article which appeared
in The Spy from North Brookfield. One
member exclaimed, between fits of
laughter, We'll. that's good one, af-
ter starting the ball a-rolling. they
want Tune to collect team to run
agalnst spencer. I thought by the
| way that North Brookfield spoke. that
! tney We're all prepared to run at min
ute's notice. Besides, their talk about
Spencer always leaving their cash at
nome on the day of the race. is all
Dosh. For instance, recall the time
that the H, A. Grout Hose Company
Won from North Brookf1eld at WoYces

and just before the race a Spencer man
