QUINCY AT PRESENT
I purposed to give the organization and present condition of the different trades and societies in Quincy, but space forbids.
The village of Quincy to-day, in the neatness of its business rooms,. the width of its streets adorned with maple trees, the elegance of its homes, the thrift of its inhabitants, does not take a second place with any other village of its size anywhere. We have 11 frame and 20 brick business rooms; 2 furniture rooms, 2 harness -shops, a news depot, a book store. 2 boot and shoe stores, 2 clothing houses, 3 dry goods houses, 6 groceries, 3 hardware stores, 4 drug stores, 2 banks, 2 planing mills, a sash, door and blind factory, a foundry, a stock feed steamer factory, a head and stave factory, 2 flouring mills, 2 fruit drying establishments, 2 splendid hotels, 2 carriage shops, and we are justly proud of a factory which secures 5 first and 3 second premiums-and a diploma in competition with all other work of the kind in the country,
