Our Lady of the Shows, would soon
take a needed vacation. 1t is under
stood that FIR. Drouhin will spend a

l. & E. l. Benson's woodworking
establishment has orders that will
keep it busy for weeks ahead. Six
men are employed in the shop and
two or three teams drawing lumber
all the time. Last week the firm
shipped a car of chair stock, and
another this week, besides three cars
of lumber, which go to Massachu-
sets.
A burning chimney in the Tracy
block Tuesday morning made a little
excitement and kept lot Of people |
warm for an hour or two. A good |
share of the smoke rolled back into
A. Z, Spaulding's photograph stu
do and so out through the win
dows, giving the idea that the whole
floor was afre. No damage was
done, however, but Mr., Spaulding's |
rooms were well smoked up, causing
much inconvenience and annoyance.
F. w. B. Smith recently bought
the house on Union street owned by |
the late Mrs. E. F. Pitkin and ex-
poets to occupy it about April l.
His house on High street he ex-
changed some time ago for half
interest in the stone building on
Central street occupied by G. F.
Robinson's grain store. Mr.. Robin
son will move into the house when

tage.
Route No. 2 from the Woodstock |
postofIice has been reversed and the
carrier will start up Hartland hill,
returning by way Of Dearborn park,
instead of starting out on the South |
road. This change avoids the as
cent of the steepest hill on the route.
The pulp wood teams from Bridge |
water and Plymouth have been pull
ing some remarkably big loads.
Three of L. H. Pratt's teams drew
eleven cords on one trip the other
day, and several other sleds have
been carrying from three to four
cords each trip, aided by the UNI
usually good shedding.
The indications are that the auto
mobile business will be fairly brisk
the coming season and that the
whiz wagons will be more numerous
than ever. DR.. F. T. bidder will
have new machine and several
other residents are thinking seri-
ously of joining the ranks OF the
automobile owners. w. e. View ex-
poets to have a Stanley steam ma
chine, with two seats, for public
hire, aud it will probably be well
patronized. He is also arranging to
take care of all the machines that
stop at his repair shop on Central
street, where he was busy with
breakdowns and lesser injuries all
last summer.
