Echoes from Lake George

From a lady and her son, both hay ing had ample opportunities for judg- ing the beautiful in nature, comes a note of appreciation for the efforts be- ing made 10 preserve and improve the surroundings of our Falls.
 Many of our people know of the at- fractions at Lake George, New York. Mrs. Ella F. Luther, who is summer ing there, wrote MT. Shaw that she had noticed by the papers that the people were beginning to appreciate Wilkinson park and the conservation of the approach to Cargill falls.
 While she had previously given for the object, she enclosed check for S25 toward the balance of the indebtedness.
 A few days later letter enclosed a check for BIO from her son, Willard E. Luther, doing business at Is State street, Boston, who, she wrote, wished to help if but little.
 While some of our people have travelled in the White mountains, the Adirondacks, at Lake George and other noted scenic resorts, it is doubted If they have seen anything of it's nature, that surpasses our own Falls.
 As familiarity seems to breed con. tempt. it would be fortunate if others, like Mrs. Luther, had the opportuni- ties of travel so that they might better appreciate, by compansor, the scenery right at our very door.
 The committee hope to hear like echoes from other summer resorts.

 MonOhansett Mill Machinery to be Sold
 The affairs of the Monohansett Man. ufacturing Company are to be wound up and the mill machinery sold. The mill has been closed all summer, since the illness of the agent, MT. George w. Holt.
 The plant was started up again Wednesday morning but only to run until the stock on hand has been man. ufactured. As soon as this has been done the machinery will be put on the market for sale.
 This concern was established for the purpose of manufacturing cotton sheetings in 1872, with Estus Lamb and George w. Holt of Providence pro- prietors. George w. Holt, Jr., was resident agent. The company manu- facfured their sheeting for many years and they found a ready market. About 200 hands were employed.
 The mill building is owned by Rob- ert Harris of Pomfret. It is an excel- lent water privilege and dou3t some manufacturing concern will soon utilize it as it is too valuable to long stand idle.
