The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, April 16, 1886 Plymouth Five Corners 4/16/1886 We hear Edith HUDSON is, at present, quite sick. Adrian MALOY is working for Maynard BROWN, this season. E. K. SLACK and wife are again made happy by the advent of a little daughter. Frank WILLIS is at home from Smokeshire, sick with inflammatory rheumatism. Drs. RICHMOND and SHERWIN of Woodstock visited Eva BROWN, Tuesday, the 6th; decided her condition to be more favorable than three weeks before. Carlos JOHNSON boiled sap, between daylight and dark, a few days since, for twenty-six gallons of syrup, thick enough to average eight pounds of sugar to the gallon. Carlos JOHNSON, who taps between five and six hundred trees, has had sap enough, the present "big run," to make in the neighborhood of thirteen or fourteen hundred pounds of sugar. Some of our farmers who "sugar in the moon," (being full of faith that sap and new moons agree to go in company) do have the fact that sap has driven hard, the past few days, to back up their theory.
