| amounts up into the thousands

MR.. WARDS FUTURE.
There are n number OF mill rumors In
| circulation, but none can be traced down
to the start. One. and perhaps the most
| important, is that Mr.. Ward, who is soon
to be succeeded by Abraham Gould as
| superintendent of the Riverside mills, Is
TO be the general agent OF the American
| Woolen company OF this place. IL Is a
well known fact that he Is to be made
an agent but none can tell whether he
| will be connected with the American
| Woolen company or some other concern.
The indications are, however, that he will
remain in the employ OF the American
Woolen company, for. during the past
week he has made a number of calls
on all OF the mills OF the company and
that In company with Mr.. Chaplin.
When Mr. Gould came here a few days
ago from the Washington mills, OF Law
renee. Mass, 1t was presumed then that
Mr.. Ward. like many other high salaried
men, must go.
The outlook for this company is another
matter that Is OF much interest TO this
place, sor so far they have received but
