The Wing, held meeting at the Court
House, on Monday, and proceeded to get
up subscription lists and appoint canvassers
made small $50 each) in order that the
subscriptions might reach that class of per-
sons whose means will not permit them to
invest in 4 large amount of stock, but who
are nevertheless willing to give such aid as
they can afford, to establish business which
will give profitable employment to numbers
of the laboring class.
1t was resolved to organize the Company
when shares amounting to $4,000 were
subscribed, as with a less amount of CAPT
tai than that it was deemed improper to
attempt to start such works as are proposed
Casio Il Co., head the list with 100
subscriptions, and it is hoped that every
man within the neighborhood of the pro-
posed works, will contribute to the enter
prise, by taking some stock-whatever his
means will allow. To our trading men this
enterprise appeals stronglg. They want
more consumers for the competition that is
striving for custom within a limited field.
If work for the laboring class is brought
to your doors, custom must increase. Such
works as are proposed will pay back the
capital outlay, as well as handsome profit
OH the investment, and materially benefit
the general business of the neighborlood.
With good agricultural machine works in
the county, tens of thousands of dollars
that ut present go to distant parts from the
county, to purchase such machinery, would
be expended at home, and form a taxable
basis which is now all lost to the county

The last honorable business had the pre.

pastures, but have boy 20 do it for us
! we shonid have men 10 work under MS

and no one could scold NJ. In short the
attractions of farming life were mani

But, however attractive, we never 70.

But one ripping blast of the stage
horn but all these fancies to an utter
route. There came the stage-the great
red stage-tull of passengers baggage
behind and piled on top; Hiram Barnes
in the drivers seat; corduroy brooches
on, low crowned jaunty hat; in his
hand the four reins, and in the other the
whip, whose long lash was perfectly en-
chanting TO my boyhood, always except
ing the occasions when it was swung
around to give a ''cut behind" But
oh that final dash of the team. Every
horse had saved up little steam, and
on coming round the corner, the pace
which had been sparkling before, burst
into royal run, rounding up before the
tavern in style that captivated every
boy of the least spirit. No-others
might be farmers and merchants, but
our mind was made up, aud stage dri-
Yer we would be! Nor was the charm
