If any of our retired or absent towns
people are inclined to think shat this
world has come 10 a standstill in our little
village, they should take a trip in the
milling vicinity and be convinced of the
valuable industries and active business
that contributes SO materially to the wei
fare of the town. The Chandler Lumber
Co. is doing an extensive business, and the
mighty forests high and low are fast sur
rendering their greatness to the wood
mans axe, to feed the hungry mills and
they in turn to feed and shelter the people.
Mr.. Homer Seavey is the efficient overs eer
for the company and lives in the E. ?.
Cotton house. Geo. Macia faithfully at
his post runs the saw. A large number
of hands are employed il the different
departments of the mill and tea ms are
constantly hauling lumber to the cars at
Barton Landing. A little farther along
you will find ". F. Brewster's grist mill.
Up-to date in every department and with
the best of machinery, ali kinds Of grind
ing, coarse or fine, is we'll and promptly
done. The best quality Of graham, corn
meal and feeds are found on sale here. Nj.
Brewster is also interested in ''porkers'
and has - fine specimens he is fitting for
market. On the other side Of the river is
the G. w. Parker single mill, where not
only shingles but all kinds of nice mould
ings are made to order. Mr.. Parker also has ia
farm that he carries on. Over the single
mill is the Cotton shop, neat, convenient
and place where first class work is always
done. J. D. Cotton and son, who are
building a very fine house for w. 0. Stet-
son and wife, are too well known to need
any words Of comment, and their work is
always in demand. Up the hill TO the
common comes Joe Tretault's butter and
cheese mill, known as the Iras burgh
creamery aud cheese factory. This plant
receives good patronage and returns
good price to its patrons. Iras burgh
cheese is always in demand and the Septem-
Der milk netted 50 cts. per hundred pounds.
There are no S ums in Irasburgh and the
homes in the vicinity of the mills indicate
comfort and thrift. Next in line and the
most important of all, comes the edu-
cationaI centre Of the town. In this build
ing there are three pleasant scaooi roDms,
three teachers and at present about 80
pupils The teachers are Henry Somers,
Mary Wheeler and Elsie Skinner. All are
doing excellent work, and W hen from these
rooms the students go forth to meet the
responsibilities of life, on the farm, in the
mill, professors, teachers or mechanics, a
foundation will have been laid for the
making of an American"
