Announcement has been made that the Ponemah company will advance the wages of their employees materially this increase to take effect on Dec. 1st How much this increase would amount 10 could not be learned, as officials of the company stated that no definite scale of increase had been announced In other textile mills within the past week voluntary increase in the wages of their employees 12 1-2 per cent. has been made, but whether this same per- centage applies to the local increase IS not known. The Ponemah corcpany employs about 1900 hands and even a slight increase would mean large additional expenditure in the aggre- gate.
 Tuesday night was the coldest of the season so far, and local thermometers registered as low as 15 degrees. and the ice on the ponds did not entirely disappear under the rays of the sun during the day.
