Till it faded from our sight;
Where the willow bOugh inclined,
Where the poison ivy tWines;
Through the orchard, past the mill,
We kept on toward Rainbowville.
Weary. footsore, cold and wet,
Hunger mingling with regret,
Babe us turn to childish rest
Next day we'd renew the quest
And we did. Ambition fond
Ever lures to the beyond
Years have passed and we are still
on our way to ranbowvillt.

For the first time for many years the
plant of the Newport Wooden Company
mill shut down Thursday night and will
open again Monday. 1t is expected
that it will be possible to run the mill
for at least three days out of the week
until the orders commence to come
asain. Throughout the summer the
mill has been operated both night ana
day and one Of the overseers stated
Saturday that he never saw a better
summer for mill work, in the local mill,

another mill in Maine that has been
orerattd any more steadily for the past
nine years than has this one here.

day, have been working. Both the
management and the many operatives
hope to see things start up again soon
