Judging by the dust that rises when
the teams pass by one would infer it is
getting dry again, and besides that the
smaller streams have ceased to flow.
The corn is coming to the factory now
at such a rate that they have to make
pretty long days; last night the retort
man and husking girl did not get home
till half past eight. Hope their pay is
such as to make it even.
Herbert Ring planted field of sweet
corn, aud being out of seed he obtained
it of the company. But as it proved to
be large, late kind, and not daring to
risk it longer on account of frost, he has
built another silo and will use it for fod-
der. His brother Wesley got 1t played
on him in the same way, but it so hap
pens he has room enough for it without
building new.
They went to work on Johnnie's
bridge, so called, near Locke's Mills,
thus obliging the farmers beyond to haul
their sweet corn round by North Wood
stock in order to get to the Pond. The
Gore road is rather billy, and 1t is hint
ed that some of the men use words hard
ly appropriate to be heard in Sabbath
School.
The other day an auto called here con-
tanning the driver and two other men,
whose business was electioneering. Driv-
ing to the south part of the town they
met team, consisting of colt and bug
gy and occupied by the owner, Frank
Hayes, and another man. Hearing the
auto coming and fearing trouble both
men alighted, took the colt by the head,
but coming up to the other carriage,
which had now come to halt but failed
to shut off the power, the colt became so
frightened as to clear himself from the
men, then ran some distance, and when
found he lay on his side and underneath
the carriage, or what there was left of it.
1t is said that the most of the wagon was
reduced to kindling wood, but how
seriously the colt was injured is not
known.
Alva Estes and Will Yates went to
Rumford Wednesday each with load of
