Work Progressing Finely.

The building of the new roundhouse
presents scene of animation, such as
Island Pond has not been favored with
in many years. The two hundred and
fifty workmen employed in the various
departments of construction make fea-
ture of life and motion suggestive of
nothing so much as bee hive. The
roundhouse, twenty stall affair, is be-
ing built on the most approved lines and
will be one of the most substantial and
best equipped on the Grand Trunk Rail-
way System.
The five hundred and twenty feet cir
Gle of the outer wall is about completed,
and the side walls will be finished this
week. Several iron columns have been
set, and timbering for the roof is now
in progress. The timbers are all of
southern pine and are attracting gen.
eral attention on account of their size,
being the largest ever used in this Sec
| ton.
Ground was broken for the machine
shop foundation Monday, and the &C.
ment concrete foundations are now be-
| ing laid Stakes have been driven to
mark the lines of the office building, and
the work will be rushed through as rap
idly as possible.
The mechanics employed on the work
are all high priced men, and the amount
of money paid out to them in wages
should make an appreciable difference in
the business of our local traders.
Mr. Findley and Mr.. Gibson are per-
sonally supervising the entire construc,
ton and with their able corps of assist
ants are doing a work that will be a
credit to the Grand Trunk railway, to
Island Pond, and to themselves.
Mr.. NJ. II. Manning, the time keeper
is an old time newspaper man who ha'
worked on the leading papers from coas
|, to coast, and when tired of newspaper
work he takes up railroading.
, 1t is probable that next Monday, La
Dor Day, very few of the men will be a
work, as they will return to their home
to take part in the several parades.

The fourteenth annual county fair will
be held at Roaring Brook Park, Barton,
on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and

fractions the Orleans County Fair has
taken we'll merited place among the
leading county fairs in New England.
Although they have expended large
sums heretofore the expense involved in
the program this year is much larger
than any of any previous year. In the
races they have ten classes for which
they offer large purses. The farmers
and hitch-up races will afford amuse-
ment for the crowd. The list of pre-
miums contains additional classes in
nearly every department and in many
cases the premiums have been increased.

and agricultural products, the finest of
which will be on exhibition. The

Dear Sir: You sell good goods and
give full measure. It's pleasant way
of doing and it pays, besides.
We do it for the same reason, and it
has made us the foremost paint-house in
the United States.
Short weight and authorizations are the
vices of business. They are a natural
response to the demand for cheapneSs.
The world is full of them-the grocery
world and the paint world, and every
kind of world.
You know and we know that it doesn't
pay. People change their grocer or
paint man as soon as they find it out.
We don't know about groceries-you
tell your people about them-the full
measure and unauthorized paint is
Devoe Lead and Zinc.
Fewer gallOns-tabe s less Devoe Lead

as lead and oil mixed by hand.
