The Brandon Italian Marble company's
mill has been shut down for few days
this week in order to make the necessary
repairs on the plant. The recent rain
has raised the river little, though much
more water will be needed in order to
raise the level Of the river to the usual
height for this time of the year.
For some time past Mrs. Thomas Bull

of mental arrangement. On Friday af-
ternoon last she was taken on the mail

of-tOwn party for a term of five years
part of the "Langworthy" machine shop.

a steam laundry. A steam en-. inc is
planned for the motive power of the es-
Enlistment a six-inch pipe is being

| The posters for the comic drama to be
given in the town hall Nov. "a were dis
tributed Yesterday. Besides the leading
parts, there are several roles which are
exceedingly humorous. The silly lover
the alb orbed bug OlOgist and the fussy
old maid create perpetual mirth. 1t is
needless to aay the two heroines, the
Baroness and her dear friend from Paris,
absorb the interest of the spectator in
watching their skillful rescue from a
difficult situation. The bazaar in the
afternoon with Christmas sale and the
lie of homemade cooking is an import
ant feature of the undertaking.
The big water tank for the Morgan
horse farm at Weybridge has arrived
and since its arrival has been quite well
in evidence. The tank is about thirty
feet long and twelve feet high, ana
mounted on specially constructed truck
resembles Zeppeins air ship. 1t was at
first attempted to bring the tank through
the pulp mill bridge, nut AS the entrance
to the bridge was too low. it was neces-
sary to turn about and go up through
the main street. Some difficulties mad
to be overcome however, as the whole
structure was quite top-heavy, necessi-
tating the Use of guy ropes and poles,
and progress through the streets was
very slow.
The Rutland railroad has a force of
men at work on the land belonging to
the w. X. Eager estate, opposite the
point on the railroad where the recent
landslide occurred. The large amount
of soil and debris that went down at the
time of the landslide has INSTRUCTED the
course Of the river to such an extent
that the water is set back on the abutting
land of holders up the river. The plan
of the railroad company is to cut away
the land at the opposite side from the
Landslide, so as to give the river its usual
width of bed before the wet weather
comes. 1t has been found practically
impossible to change matters as they
now exist on the side where the land
slide occurred
