Have Had Good Brick Season.
Although the various local brick
manufacturers continue to make brick,
they are looking forward to closing
their business within a few weeks.
Until the frost gets into the ground
business can continue but as soon as
the cold weather sets in operations
must be suspended.
Brick men state that the past sea-
son has been a good one, both from
the manufacturers view point AS
we'll as from a business side. There
has been an unusually large demand
for brick, due partly to the large
amount Of it that has been used in
building the many factory additions
said, the brick manufactured in this
place is about as good as can be found
anywhere.

Find Ancient Coin.
A carpenter employed on Hudson
street yesterday found an English
coin of ancient origin. The coin,
which is thought to be q copper half
pence, is badly mutilated by age, but
the date, 1924, is plainly visible. On
the reverse side of the coin is a
raised design surrounded by the
world "Britainia." On the face of
the coin is woman's head with an
inscription that is now too much eff
faced to be legible.
This coin was found not far from
the place where last spring William
Dunham while blowing, found an old
American coin, a penny which bore
the year 1924.
