Saxtons River Directory.

The present business of Saxtons River
with brief mention of method, and few
suggestions touching the public need.
dedicated to the people of Saxtons River
by an old resident. Other readers of the
TIMES can 'cut it out' as uninteresting.
First in this business story, We'll mention
George NJ Cory
He is known among us as man of
worth
He has a horse mart and livery stable, and
of trade he makes a Babel,
AS he deals in about everything On
earth,
Has farm of many acres, milk route with
many takers,
Farm stocked with fowls and animals, as
in Old Noahs ark,
And in holding town Office, he really is no
novice,
He's up early IN the morning, and stays
up till after dark.
His brother William, (spare and thin),
gives us quite yarn to spin
He is as full of business as an egg is full
of meat;
AS blacksmith he's all right, can fit a
shoe on tight,
But keeps man for that, that does it
very neat.
From the smIthy, through door, to an
other room, ground floor,
We find the wheelwright shop, and Frank
ingalls, in a rush.
Up stairs George Bailey in state, will paint
your carriage while you wait.
He is perfect master of pencil, and of
brush.
In job painting, or as wheelwright, Cory
will with you deal right;
Or IN selling you harness, wagon, or a
sleigh.
In the rear, and up one story, is the car
riage repository,
IT'S pleasant place to call when you
are around this way.
Merchauts-C. f. Simonds leads the van,
though not very large man,
He's hustler, and is very hard to beat,
Sells almost all kinds of goods, out here in
the woods,
Has store that's crammed full land some
that's in the street.
If, when you happen in there, you find he's
shy" on tin-ware,
You never need have worry or bother,
Charles will tell you at next door they
have tinware galore,
And its merits are explained by his
brother.
Fred Simonds is the brother, and he is just
such another,
Who knows just how the public to
please,
He sells groceries, tins and stoves and also
well he knows
His orders are filed with dispatch, and
with ease.
Fay Fuller, (his "pard'D, is always work
ing hard,
On stoves and stovepipes, perhaps
plumbing, or on a roof.
His work is done well, as many customers
can tell
In the village there is plenty of proof,
And for a rough guess, think the express
Is stored there to keep it from harm,
Ii you have box some day, you can call
in there and pay,
Then lug it home under your arm.
The car company charge enough, and it is
rather rough,
wv, awkward way,
why not divide with Fay ard Fred, and
they'll not go to bed
Until the stuff is all delivered that's re-
ceived each day,
Miss Pettengill is there, to sell us car fare,
Or help you to sing through the teie-
When in there give attention for she is apt
to mention
That in the booth you get and"go it there
alone.'
Next door in the block, formerly owned by
Whose initials, believe, are F. B.
The postoffice is kept, by one that's quite
In handling mail matter "to T."
Minnie is pleasant to all who give her
call,
But to one thing she strictly adheres;
Your stamps you must lick, so they surely
will stick,
And your letters will 60 sure, have no
fears.
Just here I'll simply state, although Min
ME is light weight,
Only weighing, think it is 104,
She has never had male (msiD come
within her pale,
That she could not easily bounce out
through the door.
Another store we will mention, well worth
your attention,
Kept by c. III. Saunders, who deals on
the square.
He sells dry goods and clothes, drugs, rub-
beers and shoes,
Cheap as the cash will buy anywhere,
