steam mill being erected at BARRIERS
Park passed through our streets one

ing at st. Charles church to George
w. German of Keene. They left on

make their future home in Keene.

For the past few weeks gang or
line men have been at work between
here and Saxtons River running two
wires for an additional copper circuit
of the telephone company between
here and that village. They have
this week completed the line, giving
Saxtons River two separate metallic
circuits connecting their village with
the outer world. The business at that
place has increased wonderfully In
the past few months. There are now
IL sets of instruments in use there,
and orders have been taken within
few weeks for % more, making an ex-
change of "a subscribers. A larger
switch is to be placed in the store OF
F. B. Locke, which has been the public
Office of the company since telephones
were first in use there in 1881. A
boom in real estate and building is
in progress there, caused probably by
the accession of the trolley line.
The meadow of the T. w. Church es-
tate, near Gageville has ben divided
into building lots and two or three are
already sold, while four or five more
are are bargained for. Among those
sold to build upon the coming year are
those to ]. w. Hurlbprt of Wells River
]. H. Straight, of this village, and one
to William ingalls, of Townshend. A
street has been laid out through the
property, and lots plotted on DOM
sides. They are accessible, and de-
sirable, because of being on the line
of the electric road and not far out OF
Bellows Falls. Being in the town OF
Westminster they will increase the
citizenship of that town instead OF
Rockingham. Across the road from
these lots there were recently sofa
to different individuals ~ building lots
on the land of John A. Thwing' sew
eral of which are to have residences
built upon them the coming year.
The rendering of the mock trial FIJI
day night in the opera house was a
success in every way. 1t drew goou-
sized house, and under the dlrectloh
of Col Newton and c. B. Perry OF Wor-
cester it was a decided hit. the as
signment of the various parts was
given two weeks ago in this column
Some local hits were rich, others stale'
but as a whole it was immensely en-
joyed by most of the audience. inc
Young Mems club netted about S4O as as
their share of the receipts, when VIII

tertainments during the winter 70
