That Lake Preston's waterworks
plant will soon be in operation is the
belief Of the Times. The well, which
was drilled las. year by Messrs. Ellef-
son IL Pirlet. has been successfully
tested since Saturday, Friday 18th.
At continuous pumping night and
day. it throws a stream of not less
than fifteen gallons per minute and
measuring up as high as eighteen. A
longer stroke could be placed on the
pump but there is no desire to over
do the well. What is best of all, the
water is pure, clear and soft, excellent
for household purposes. 1t will now
be possible to test the waterworks
and il is hoped to see them ready for
use soon.

ago. The afternoon was very pleas
antly spent in social amusement,
Mrs. Patterson and the other ladies'
serving a toothsome supper at the
proper time. That nelghborhood
sincerely regrets the removal of these
two families, but wish them all the
good things Of life wherever they go.
