ventions in the early seventies.
Work on the sewer has commenced
on the branch leading down Depot
Hill. The tile is to be laid from
Boardman brook up. The general
supervision is under the direction of
W. G. Maxfield, who has let the dig
ging and filling to Geo. F. Thomas.
S. B. Waite has closed contract
with Gov. Page whereby he leases the
lower part of the old church for g.
carriage repository for term of FIVE
years. The upper part of the build
ing will be converted into gymna-
stun. The repairs necessary for Mr..
Waite's occupancy are now being
made.
Mrs. Laura Knight and Mrs. F. c.
Page attended the funeral of NJ. NJ.
Knight at Waterbury, Tuesday.
The deceased was a brother of the
late L. M. Knight and at one time
lived at Johnson, but for many years
resided in Waterbury, where he was
a successful merchant and a highly
respected citizen. Paralysis was the
cause OF nlS QeaGn.
L. II. Wentworth and wife of Farm
ington, N. a., were in the place q
short time Tuesday. They we're on
their way to the Pan American and
will drive most of the way. At Al
bany they will embark on a canal
boat and go from there to Buffalo
"on the raging canal" The trip is
very unique one and will 40 doubt
be full of pleasure and adventure.
VIC. Maxfeld has struck graph
= ite" mine down on Pease's place. He
found it while excavating for the
sewer. William is very enthusiastic
} about it and contemplates sending
, samples away to be assayed. If fa-
vorable reports are made, a stock
company will be organized at once.
Being located near the railroad it can
= be easily marketed and is expected to
bring great financial returns. Secure
your stock early as a rise is certain.
! The Hyde Park train-that much.
abused and greatly laughed at train
has been running right up to sched-
ule time this season. True, it is not
:, a "lightning EXPRESS" but loaded up
? as it is with freight cars every trip, it
gets there as per its time table agree
ment, being late but very few times
s this summer. Conductor Wilcom
n and Engineer Underwood handle it
:. good shape and no train on the line
{ has better corps of managers than
this one.
s W. A. Loomis of Lyndonville, Wis
|. tied in this place part of last week.
a Mr.. Loomis was born up on the farm
s now occupied by W, D. Isham and for
time lived in this village with his
t father, who was well-known Water
l. bury stage driver. Mr.. Loomis had
d not been here in 40 years and as he
II expressed himself "many then knew
l found were now occupants of the
ia cemetery" He is a machinist and

a donville.
"a The Hidehouse boys are busy these
days filing an order which Gov. Page
# has received from a Milwaukee tan
40 ner. The order as at first received
D. was for 81 900 skins, but it has since
% been increased to $1,000. This is not
. record breaker, as Gov. Page has
filed a single order for 80, ,436 skins.
q 1t is said by one who is supposed to
~ know that the order which the Gov
y ernor is now filing, which is for skins
40 none of which weigh less than four
nor more than seven pounds. is q
IN larger order for green salted skins
g. than could have been filed, with
lie these limitations as to weight, by
Us any other dealer in the world.
H. Bakersfield and Hyde Park crossed
30 bats on the school campus last Sat.
y urday afternoon. The game was un.
10 interesting because of its one. sided
Ill ness-the Bakersfield team were un.
able to keep "within speaking
lg distance" of the home team. They
ne we're ou batted, out. felded, out
le played, in fact out-everything. The
ot score was 10 to 0. Cheney and
Is Jackson were the battery for Hyde
Park. The other fellows changed
o. pitchers three times but in spite oil
m all they could do they were not in it.

it was hardly paying investment.
IN The Baseball Club has changed
is managers, Glenn Wilkins succ eding
IN Wilson Leach. The cause of this
1T change is owing to a disagreement
70 among the boys about the contem.
plated game with Morrisville next
De Saturday. 1t seems that Manager
N Leach had telephoned the Morrisville
g. club that this club would not play
IN unless a strictly "Simon Pure
ct Morrisvlle club played; they would
not play an imported battery
Il Somebody in the club didn't like this
- and so a scurrilous letter was written
90 . by another member, who signed
% . Captain McGinnis' name, in which
10 they said they would play notwith.
