Her purchaser -Frosperous C ommq-ity. The fine weather has been most favorable for building operations in Taftville and all have gone forward with marked rapidity. The largest job is that of the Pon com| 'S new 700x200 weave shed and here all is ac- tivity, although now that the concrete roof work has been completed a force of 176 men has been laid up. The work on the coal pocket and trestle is now being carried on, the concrete re- taining walls being put in as fast as | possible. The big 100 foot chimney is |rising skyward at a commendable rate, being about three-quarters up. | The weave shed proper is receiving the attention of the roofers on the outside |and of the carpenters within, the in- | termediate floor being laid on the five- linch planking and the windows being | put in. PIne new reservoir for the increasing Ineeds of the village is also proceeding | satisfactorily, while the contractor is still working’ on foundations for more tenement houses on Norwich avenue. In the village eleven new tenement houses, providing accommodations for forty-four families, have been practi- cally completed and it is expected that | some of them will be occupied before 1 1ong. | At the lower end of the new village | the J. B. Martin Velvet company’s ad- ! ditions are coming along rapidly, while |a number of new houses are in process | of_construction. l The boiler room remains to be built, | which will_also contain the heating boilers, and after the weave shed is | well dried out the finishing floor will me laid. The automatic fire extinguish- ing system is being installed. When Taftville Was Young. H. V. Arnold writes of the starting | of Taftyille village and mill in the fol- {lowing Interesting manner: | In 1868, about which time the be- ginning of the work that was to create another factory village on the She- | tucket river was taken in hand, the site of the main portion of the place was | a worn-out farm. The Shetucket river at this place has a southerly course. Up stream, some rocky and wooded hills approach near to the river, and also recede back so as to form, as they circle around toward the river gain, a sort of embayment or amphi- | theater, within which the first of the factory tenement houses were erected. I first became acquainted with the place in the midst of its constructive ge, which was in the spring of 1871, 'and I took part in the work in progress until that year had closed. | At that time a substantial dam had already been constructed; . also the | body part to a lhrge brick cotton mill, {75 by 750 feet, and five stories high, |had been erected with mansard roof |and two tall towers in front, in which were the Stairways. The mill extend- ed north and gouth on a high flood plain or rather ferrace along the river, and directly in front of it the ground sloped gently upward to a plain, a dozen or more feet highér, enclosed by the partially ooded hills around it. A roadway led west from the font of the mill ahd up over a sag in the hills; {on either side of this roadway about | twenty two-family wooden tenement houses had already been erected. This | formed the main street of the village. | North and south, and parallel with this |main village - street, two others had | been 1aid out, with perhaps six tene- | ment_houses on one side of the arc, and four along the other. This was the extent of the village in April, 1871 Meeting Early Conditions. ‘The underplank flooring to each story of the mill had been laid, but no great amount of the Georgia pine top- | flooring then covered these plank un- | der floors. Most of the tenements were occupied by laborers and their families, yet several were still vacant and ‘un- finished inside.

An unfinished tenement house was con- vertéd into a store as to ome-half of |it and a meat market was fitted up in the other part of it. Again, a place was needed for religious services on | Sundays and for a school room week- days during the season of school keep- ing. As in the other case, the half of an unfinished two-family tenement | house on the south side of the village was utilized in that way, it being fitted up with a teacher's desk and ordinary school benches and desks. Occasionally | ly a Congregational minister came on Sabbaths, and later regular services were held. During the year Evangelist Potter visited the place, and there came also E. H. Pratt of Pomfret, (;orm., a temperance lecturer of the time. Thirty Carpenters. The carpentry gang that season con- sisted of about thirty hands, under an clderly boss named Austin, who was | of Pawtucket, R. I David Tracy of Wauregan was foreman, The men at- tended to a varlety of work. There was the top flooring of the stories of the mill to lay and get ready for plac- ing the machinery which was arriving during spring, summer and fall; there YANTIC HAPPENINGS. | Hounds Chase a Fox—Many Attend Guild Supper. Mrs. Irving Hamilton and daughter | Natalie of Norwich were recent guests of Mrs. Henry Hamilton. Hounds of Edward Gay of Norwich Town had a lively time Wednesday | morning with a red fox that they cgme across. It took a turn around the race | course at West Farms, then went over | “Peogreming and Velvet Mill Work Well ~long—Story of the Building and Start- ing of Large Cotton Mill in 1871—Early Life of the were a number of additfonal factory tenement houses to build; a permanent schoolhouse to erect; gas works, boiler ‘house and the woodwork to a rear ad- dition to the mill, 266 by 60 feet, and as high as the main part of the same, and other carpenter's work besides. Then there was present a gang of la- borers who dug cellars for the tene- ments, hauled brick and lumber, un- loaded from cars that came to the mill front, the machinery then being placed in position by machinists, and all other. necessary outside work. William C. Tucker was the first mill superintendent and was already resid- ing in Taftville during that busy year of construction. The genial Edward Taft of Providence came frequently to inspect the progress that was being made, while James S. Atwood, agent of the Wauregan mills, came down more or less every week, also for in— spection. Looms Started. During the summer a considerable section of looms on the lower floor of the mill was put in operation, the fill- ing and warps being supplied from auregan. The motive power was a Corliss_engine placed temporarily on the same floor, the boiler house outside and on the river bank having been completed. The engine was installed primarily to run shafting and furnish power for mlchlr\e ‘work, so that this early weaving of ‘cloth was rather of the nature of an ircident and no bona fide starting of the mill. In the fall two powerful Collins turbine wheels were set in the wheelpit and in the latter part of October the water was let into the mill trench. As I have said, the machinery for the mill was delivered at the mill doors and directly from the cars in which it had been shipped. A tramway of rail- road iron, over a mile long, was laid when work began there, from near the Taftville station, and thence between a highway and the river to a point a lt- tle beyond the north tower to the mill The cars, one at a time, were drawn up by tandem horse teams, and for most of the way were returned by gravity down the slight inclined grade to a siding near the railroad station. Started Nov. 1, 1871. On Wednesday, Nov. 1, 1871, the Collins wheels were started for the first time and Edward Taft, in the presence of others of the corporation, fed into a picker In the basement of the addition the first batch of cotton that was run through this sort of ma- chine in the Ponemah mills. There- after the mill was gradually gotten into operation, sets of all the necessary machinery for manufacturing cotton prints being in place,'but the mill, when started, was far from being filled with machinery to its full capacity. Do You Use Them? If Not, Why? Dyspepsia. 18 the skeleton at the feast; the death’'s head at the festive board. It turns cheer into cheerless- ness, gaity into gloom and festivity into farce. It is the ghost in the home, haunting every room and hitting at every fireplace, making otherwise mer- ry people shudder and fear. If there is one disease more than afother that should be promptly attacked and worsted, it is DYSPEPSIA. It is the very genius of unhappiness, unrest and {ll nature. In time it will turn the best man almost into a demon of temper and make a good woman some- thing to be dreaded and avoided. It is estimated that half of one’ troubles in thi& world comes of a stomach gone wrong—of Dyspepsia, in short. Foods taken into the stomach and not properly cared for; converted into stubstances ghat the system has no use for and hasn't any notion what to do with. It is irritatéd and vexed, pained and annoyed, and in a little while this state of things becomes general and directly there Is “some- thing bad to pay.” The whole System is in a state of rebellion and yearns to do something rash and disagreeable and a fine case of Dyspepsia is estab- ed and opens up for business, you were bitten by a mad dog you would not lose a day in going to a cure; do you know you should be just as prompt with Dyspepsia? Rab- ies is a quick death, dyspepsia is a slow one; this is about all the differ- ence. There is a cure for rables and 0 there is for Dyspepsia and one cure was about as difficult to discover as the other. Pasteur found out one and the 'F. A. STUART COMPANY the other, ‘and it Is no longer a secret, as it is’ made ‘public in the wonderful Tablet, which so many are using and praising today. One writer says of i “Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are li! tle storehouses of digestion which mix with the stomach juices, digest food, retingle the mucous membrane and its nerve centers, give to the blood a great wealth of digestive#fluids, pro- mote digestion and stays by the sto ach until all its duties are complete.” Some cures are worse thgn the dis- ease; they demand This, That and the Other and the patient despairs at the requirements; but not so with the Stuart Dyspepsia Tablet; they are easy and pleasant to take and no nausea or ill feeling follows. There is mome of this “getting all-over-the-mouth” like a liquid and making the remedy a dread. Another writer says “It matters not what the condition of the stomach, Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets only Improve the juices and bring quiet to the whole digestive canal, of which the stomach is the center.” Forty thousand physicia Scarfs, Muffs, s use these tablets in their practice and every druggist sells them.
