which she will no doubt impart to her
pupils. She teaches both vocal and
instrumental music, and ought to have
large classes.

We understand that the plant and
the farm upon which it is located will
be offered for sale later on, and it is
possible a buyer may be found and
the industry resumed. This estab-
lishment employed considerable
number of men, some of whom lived
