| REvIvALISTs IN LIBERTY. Last Sun-
/ day closed the work of Revivalists Hatch
and Gale in Liberty, much to the regret of
the people of that and adjoining towns.
Those who have heard these men know of
their wonderful power, which the people of
Liberty and vicinity attested to by their
constant attendance. The meetings were
held in the busiest season of the year, yet
the church was filled at about every meet
ing. These men are well fitted by nature
and education for their work as they are
excellent singers, magnetic speakers and
college educated, well bred men. Their
talk was plain, straightforward and practi-
cai' 1hele was no cOnuODluS Oh the Iali-
| ings either of men or churches, yet through
it all was the kindly charity and the point
ing to a better way. Their work will be
long remembered not only among those
who have made a decided change in their
life, but by those, and they are many, who
have been helped and encouraged.
THE New CLOTHING FACTORY. The
building opposite the railway station, now
owned by Charles E. Knowlton and under
going repairs preparatory to its occupancy
by a Boston clothing concern, was original
| ly built by S. S, Lewis for a store, one of
several in what was known as Puddedock,
| then quite business place. Later H. o.
Dodge bought the building, made an add
ton to it and used it as a clothing factory.
| The Rodoiph Medicine Co. of Brooks occu-
pied it at one time, and it has had various
uses, sucn as creamery, a restaurant and
a machine shop. 1t was found necessary to
resill the entire building and put in new
floor and in tearing out it was found that
the walls and partition had been brick ed
up between the studding. The location is
all excellent one for clothing factory anG
the building will be put in good shape fol
this purpose. j. G. Aborn has charge Of
the work.
