E. T. RUSSELL.

Every woman likes, when she goes into millinery store, to be able to see something else than merely hats-no matter how much in style they may be.
 There is always the innate love of fnery that needs to be gratifed. It was with this thought in mind that Mrs. B. T. Russell added well-stocked department of ladies neckwear, waists, fancy work, stamped goods, etc., to her millinery department when, number of years ago, she opened her store at No. 56 Main Street.
 Until three years ago Mrs. Russell had a partner, Mrs. Pownall, but since her retirement has conducted the busi- ness alone.
 She goes to New York several times each season, so as to keep her stock of ideas and goods fresh and up-to-date in every way. In her millinery depart ment she has corps of apprentices, and every branch of the millinery business is carefully attended to. Her fancy goods counters are laden with novelties fresh from the wholesale houses, and the display is unusually attractive. Mrs. Russell has four employees to assist her in the store.

J. G. WIGHTMAN.

One of the largest individual business interests in Stafford Hollow, aside from that of the woolen mill, is conducted by J. G. Wightman, whose advertisement reads:
 "Dealer in light vehicles of every de- scription; repairing, also shoeing and jobbing. All work guaranteed as repre- sented and prices the lowest"
 The large carriage repository, black smith shop, repair shop and storehouse of J. G. Wightman at Stafford is the result of forty years of development. Four buildings are required to house the various enterprises and take care of the large stock of vehicles, for MT. Wight man has trade that extends far be- yond the borders of the town, and as his blacksmith shop is on the main road, he does the repairing for the farmers, the expresses and the mills.
 In the carriage repository is every manner of light vehicle, from driv- ing buggy to farm wagon. The stock is kept complete, despite the large de- mand that, at certain seasons of the year, keeps MT. Wightman and his three employees very busy.
 MT. Wightman came from Colchester and went into business with his father, soon after the beginning of the year 1874. He soon became prominent in the towns affairs and was registrar of voters for over thirty years. He was collector of taxes for six years, and is now one of the county commissioners. He is a member of the Masons, and makes his home in Stafford.

 They carry large stock of windows, doors, blinds, and sash, paints, oils, window glass and putty, the B. P. s. paints, all kinds of roofing and sheath ing papers, mill supplies, sporting goods and farm implements, beltings, etc.
 The company has an immense store house on River Street, and can fill al- most any order on short notice. They employ four clerks and two delivery wagons, and have won many friends in town by their businesslike methods and personal merit.

overalls and found in them the
name of the sewing girl who had
made them. He very promptly
wrote her letter with the elusive
ness necessary in such case and
in due time received reply, which
however, was void of the romance
usual in such cases. Here it is:
