LIME LAKE

          At the outlet, of the lake of the same name, contains a hotel, a grist-mill, district school-house, and half a dozen dwelling-houses.  Here was established the first store and mills in the town, also the only woolen-works that ever existed in Machias.  These works of MESSR. FOLLETT & COLEGROVE, about 1835, were kept busy day and night.  People came from distant places, camped out and awaited their turn to get work done.
