The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, February 12, 1886 South Londonderry 2/12/1886 S. M. HOLDEN returned, Tuesday night, form a trip to Boston. Walter DAVENPORT, who has been at work in Ludlow, has returned home. Henry SHANKS, it is reported, has hired of Mr. TYLER, the tenement vacated by Mr. SIMPSON. S. M. HOLDEN is getting out lumber, preparatory to building a house on his farm, known as the "SLOCUM place." Wm. GIBSON, of Cambridge, N. Y., son of Ichabod GIBSON of this place, has been spending a few days among old acquaintances here. Mrs. SEVERANCE has been stopping in Brattleboro for some time past, and we welcome her back to her home and fiends in this village. COLLINS and BROOKS are still carrying potatoes; sent a load, Tuesday, and Warren WRIGHT one Wednesday. 45 cents is the price, but don't sell YOURSELVES short. Geo. HARTWELL has hired a part of the saw-mill here, and is getting out plane-woods, this winter. He has put up two dry-houses--one 16x30 feet, the other 16x60. Edward BOYLE and wife, of Factory Point, made a flying visit to friends here, last week; and methinks they needed no fans or sun-umbrellas while making the return trip, last Thursday. F. SIMPSON, expressman and baggage-master on the B. & W. railroad, having lost his situation, has moved his family from this village. We are told that E. W. MELENDY takes his place for the present. Fred RAWSON of Rawsonville recently had one of his fingers on his right hand badly cut, while at work in the mill here. Dr. MARDEN dressed the finger, and said if it did not do well as he had dressed it, it would have to be taken off. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton [email protected] Dummerston, VT
