Village Doings

One store empty in Willis. Who comes nexl? Carlos Childs has his new house neary completad. It is quite an addition to his farm. An immense quantity of water feil in Augusta last Friday afternoon. Safcurday night we had quite a rainfall again. Baster exeroises were observed at the M. E. ohuroh. The musio was of the very best and the speakers did credit to themselves. The butter maker of the Willis creamery is reported souiewhat better. Mr. Darliug is a No. 1 butter maker. His butter is excelled by very few. Mr. Baughart who had both ankles broken and one of them smashed was attended by Drs. H. I. Post and Batwell. The latter came at Dr. Post's request. Mr. Banghart suffers muoh pain. The Augusta cheese factory commenced work April 1. Several cheese are tumed out in a day. Mr. Day hires a man to sell the oheese as there seemed no one willing to sell at. onehalf cent per pound. Mrs. Pratt has been building a place for the meat market refrigerator to separate it from the storeroom whicb has been much needed. We hope the meat will be as sweet and nice this summer as is the oue who sells it. Last Friday evening the L. O. T. M. gave a poverty social at the hall of Hive No. 687 at Whittaker Corner?. Poverty was displayed by nearly all. A very enjoyable aft'air it was, excepting the noise made by some which is very detrimental in such a place. It is .to be hoped this will not be repeated at the next social. There are quite a few farmers in Augusta who have not sowed their oats yet. Although some have oats peeping through prospeoting the weather. Peach buds for blos'soms have all been killed by the late freezes, as also the plums, pears, etc., so we will just look at our canned fruit and imagine how good it tastes. Bnt it will taste better when there is no fruit to be had iu the fall. Geo. N. Hammond and sou Milo were working in the woods one day last week, when their attention was called to a hissing noise up in the air seeming to come from the east, and when directly overhead it buist and the noise sounded like a caunou, after which the hissing, cuttiug sound lasted for a minute. Mrs. Hammond was outdoors and heard the same noise. (Undoubtedly an airship. )
