SUMS to enable him to do q larger amount |
of first class work, as his business is con-
stantly increasing. He has many orders
on hand, and if good machinists were to |
be had he could increase his business, es |
he has to turn away many orders on ac-
count of lack of help to do the work.
Alvin Clark, son of George Clark, and |
John Rolfe had rather unpleasant ex-
perience last Wednesday evening. While |
driving down Main street their horse be-
came frightened and starting up suddenly
broke the cross bar and then ran down
the street. Mr.. Clark held to the reins and
when opposite n. NJ. Scott's store was
thrown out by the swaying of the wagon
he was dragged some distance until he let
go of the reins. Mr.. Rolfe sprang from
the wagon Immediately after Mr.. Clark
was thrown ont. The horse ran down to
the shed north of o. d. Ovens block,
where the wagon collided with post and
was badly demolished. The horse was I'M
injured. Both men were fortunate in
escaping uninjured.
The sugar makers of Glover very kindly
invited many of the residents OF this place
to sugar parties last week. Chaplin Leon
ard and John Mcclellan both entertained
large number at their sugar camps. The
sugar was of excellent quality as was shown
by the amount consumed by the visitors.
In addition to the sugar there were a
variety of other good things to eat. The
people were royalty entertained at both
places and the outings were very enjoyable
ones. w. S. Mason and John BOrland also
entertained their Barton friends Both
make very nice sugar and the people were
we'll sWeetened before their return home.
At Mr.. Mason's an excellent dinner was
served and it was surprising to see the
amount the visitors consumed. The people
of Barton appreciate the kindness of their
Glover friends in extending these invita-
tions.
During he past few years large num-
Der of tenements have been erected in this
village and many of the people have
finished off tenements in their residences,
but the supply has not at any time
! equalled the demand. AS soon as a tene-
ment is known to be in process of con-
|
applicants for it. We understand that
there are several parties who would be
! glad to move to this village if they could
| secure tenements and one, at least, would
! like first class tenement and would be
willing to pay "a good price for the same.
! This is matter which should be given the
careful consideration of parties who are
| IOOLy in for foi invest Th;c will
! is growing from year to year and property
here is continually increasing in value,
which makes it a desira bic place in which
to locate.
The employees Of the various stores in
this village are agitating the question of
the stores being closed three nights in the
week instead Of two and are hoping to be
able to induce their employers to take
such action. la nearly all the larger
villages the places of business are closed
three or four nights each week and in
some places no larger than this the custom
is the same. If this can be done without
inconvenience to the general public and
the same amount of business transacted as
heretofore it will probably meet with the
|
doubt that If the change could be made il
would be a welcome one to the clerks anC
it would certainly be pleasant if the en-
ployers could have another evening al
home, which would enable them to be-
come better acquainted with theil
families.

n There are several hose companies in tn
r village but very little attention has bee
d given to practice. While this village ha
q been very fortunate regarding fires wher

J, always taken much longer than We
v necessary to get it under control. This
% a condition which should not exist. Wit
the splendid water system here we shoul

st training on the part Of the hose companie
