Resignation of Mr. Niles.
The people , of Oxford learn with
deep regret of the resignation of Mr.

Mr. Niles took charge of the plant

and hence has labored under many
disadvantages which naturally arise
from the installing of a new business.
Ho had often to contend with inferior,
help, along with failure of the company

ingly well and our people are sorry to
see this excellent gentleman sever his
connection with the Company.
