Dsy~ A procession of the operatives
from the mill at White Rock Village,
who are on a strike for the reform sys-
tenn of factory labor, marched through
our streets yesterday morning. The
procession presented quite an imposing

women and children, in their work-day
attire, with sleeves role d up, we should
think, just as they left the mill. They
marched to the music of congratulations
from their fellow laborers in the other

us of the story Of an old Friend who was
a passenger on one of the North River
steamboats, during very exciting race.
After the two boats had continued
"neck and neck" for about six hours a
gentleman who seemed to be much in
tcrested in the race stepped up to the
old gentleman and inquired if he thought
they had gained on their antagonist.

DD- The Springfield Republican pro-
poses that a monument to Franklin be
erected by the printers of the United
States. The editor concludes his para
graph upon the subject, thus =" The
printers in the Republican Office, every
one of whom, earns his bread by the
sweat of his brow,' will back up these
wishes with-a contribution of twenty-five
dollars" The suggestion is good one
and should be carried out. The COM
mencement is also liberal. Let us figure.
There are some two thousand and eight
hundred periodicals published in the
United States, of which it is fair
estimate that twenty-five hundred would
give their share, for their is no trade the
artizans of which are more liberal or
more devoted to their profession than the
printers. Assuming the Republican
office as a fair average specimen of
American offices, and we have sub
scription amounting to sixty-two thousand
five hundred dollars. Add to this what
might be expected from those who were
educated in printing office, but whose
position in life places them above manual
labor, and we have very fair sum with
which to erect monument to the great
American Philosopher, who shed such
lustre upon his profession and country.

Mrs. c., says Dr. Tyler, of delicate

was afflicted with cough, and her neck was
thickly studded with Scrofulous tumors.
Under the influence of free use of a decoc-
ton of Rock Rose, she recovered her health,
and has not been afflicted with any such
since. The above is taken from
work published by d. A. Tyler, NJ D., of
New Haven, Conn, in 1916, and proves the
wonderful efficacy of the plant Rock Rose,
as cure for Scrofula.

FERN LEAVES FROM FANNY's PORT

of the printer, have already become so
popular as to make it almost a work of
supererogation to say anything COM

read it, we would simply say that you
are losing time until you do so. Do you

SHADY SIDE; or Life IN q Country
Parsonage, is another work which has
taken the reading public by storm
especially in this vicinity, as it is now
known to have been written by one
almost dweller in our midst. If it is
true--and we are assured by those who
ought to know, that the picture is not
overdrawn-we think the trials of a
country pastor approximate to those of
a country editor. O. Stillman has the
work for sale, and if our friends will
read it, perhaps they will be somewhat
prepared to sympathize with their pastor
in his labors.
