January 25	1875	Lawrence	W. W.	W. W. Lawrence is building a new steam saw and grist mill on his place two miles west of the Valley. He also has a shingle mill attached and Messrs. Davis and Walters have added to the building, and from the same engine, run machinery for planning and matching lumber; also the manufactured of sash, door and blinds. They have some of their machinery in operation. Mr. Lawrence can grind corn and feed and will soon be able to grind all kinds of grain. He has not yet removed his circular saw from his old water mill. The mill will be a great help to the town, since the burning of the grist mill at the Valley, we have felt the need of another mill in the place; and the machinery put in by Davis and Walters will also be appreciated by persons wishing to build, as heretofore they had to go to Cowanesque Valley for such work, while now they can et their logs in at the mill, and have their lumber worked up ready for use. Most of us would prefer to have had the mill built at the Valley, as it would have helped business more her, but would rather have it where it is than do without it.
January 25	1875	Cheese Factories		Next comes the cheese factories, of which we are to have two built in town and ready for use the coming spring. One, about half a mile west of White’s Corners, near Major Latta (now the Philo Stebbins farm, 1841), is being built by Mr. Jackson. The other at the Valley on the land of Mr. White, by Peter Leonard (this site was at the north end of the Valley on the right side of the road, just before crossing the bridge, when going north). Both of the men are from Bingham and have been patrons of Mr. Young’s factory, and know whereof they speak when they say that cheese making is a profitable business. I suppose they mean both the owners of the factories and the patrons. Am glad we are to have a cheese factory in town, for heretofore, all milk manufactured into cheese had to be taken to the factories at Bingham or Brookfield. The merchants here are complaining about hard times, and say they can find no market for socks, mittens, dried apples, etc., but I presume they would not get much sympathy from you, for you would say “let them advertise”.
