The board of relief, aft- er hearing the arguments of the man- { ufacturers and the assessors voted to the latter’'s figures. Brick Business Tmproving. A slight improvement is being noted in the brick husiness according to one of the Berlin manufacture Several small orders have and larger ones are pending.

They carried the retainers out to the back yard and drained them dry. The bottles are now reposing in gen- tle sleep, hanging from the rafters in the cellar of the town hall.

Zion church was held at the church last night. Rev. T. A. Au- ten of Cambridge, Mass., attended Reports of the various committees were hcard and approved of. The trustees of the church, composed of Charles O'Neil, John . Baker, ¢1lif- ton Johnson, J. W. Johnson and %n- thony mpbell, submitted their re- port and showed a halance of $356 in the treasury. This was considered excellent by the other boards, inas: much as the trustees have accom- piished some favorable improvements on the church, one which inciuded the installation of a pipeless furnace, at a cost of $17 The Christian En- deavor soclety gave a report of $8.06 in the balance. During the past quar- ter the church showed in spite of the depression throughout the country and town as well, that a sum of $303 had been raised. Rev. Mr. Auten complimented the church officinls on their efficient work and the remavkably large congrega- tion that it had. Rev. . Barrov the here, has becn in char foi st three years and during his admi tration, the church has gained considerably in membership. Rev.
