AZ farmers near Nashua Iowa, formed
stock company and invested about
$4,000 in buildings and machinery in
the plant known as the Nashua Wooden
Mills. The Mills have not been operat-
ed for several years, but will soon be, as
our townsman WI. Bowen has secured
and will take possession of them about
the first of March when he and his
family will remove to Nashua. The
business in which Mr. Bowen is about
to engage is not new to him, he having
been for nearly thirty years in the
employ of the Jones Wooden Mill Co
at this place. The good wishes of their
many friends here will go with Mr..
and Mrs. Bowen and his family to their
new home.
The Manchester Democrat comes
as near being newspaper pirate as any
sheet we ever run against. In this
weeks issue they use about one fourth
of a column which had been taken from
last weeks issue of the Home Press,
and no credit was given. This is a
mighty easy and cheap way of getting
outside county news. Home Press.
The Democrat has not for several
months had correspondent at Greeley
and during that time has, every week
when we could find any item or items
in the Home Press worth reprinting,
copied them, and with the single excep-
ton of last week the Home Press has
been given the credit The omission to
do so in last weeks issue was uninten
tional, an oversight on the part of the
typo who set the items. If that makes
the Democrat a pirate sheet, then the
structures of the Home Press are justi.
llaple, otherwise not. In this cOnnec-
ton we are pleased to say, that we have
arranged for correspondent near Gree
ley, who will furnish the Democrat
every week with items of interest to its
patrons living at and in the vicinity of
Greeley.
