The crows are with us again.

The Mason Manufacturing Co. no,
has its plant in shape so that the making
of samples has been in progress TO
several days, and it is expected that tn
factory will be running regularly, with
small crew, at least by the first of mex
week.
Leslie l.. Mason, Esq, of Portland
who is largely interested in South Paris
two new manufacturing enterprises, tn,
Mason Lumber Company and the Masol
Manufacturing Company, was in tow
Friday. Mr.. Mason is business hustle
and genial gentleman and South Pari:
is fortunate in locating his enterprise
here.
The rain of Saturday night and Sun
day still further reduced the snow
which the mild weather of the past two
weeks has been carrying off quite rapid
ly. There is much bare ground on the
hills, and the roads are getting thin in
places. March is hardly likely to give
us six weeks of Shedding this year
However, no one is justified in complain
ing, for we rarely have so good winter
for business as this has been.

South Paris municipal lighting bill is
still in the hands of the legal affairs
committee of the legislature, and they
are not expected To report on it until
Wednesday. Various rumors with re-
gard to the committees action are atloat,
one of which, published in some of the
daily papers, is that the petitioners will
be given "leave TO withdraw" and the
oxford Light Co. held to it's offer to
arbitrate prices. 1t will be well to wait
for the committees report, rather than
be too sure of it in advance. Neverthe-
less, the rumorS which have leaked out
indicate that some sort of compromise, or
rather, halfway measure will be favored.

of this week, to the Interna-

possible, at each meeting.
