GeorRe PenbodHnead,

George Peabody, the great banker,
and princely philsntbrOpist, whose be-
quest have challenged the admiration
of the world, sndl whose benefactiOus
have placedstwo countries under last
ing obligations to revere his memory ,
Is dead. He died in London, on the
night of the 4tb, ct II o'clock, aged
nearly seventy-ive years, We append
the following short biographical sketch
of this distinguished civilian, of whose
career our country may well be proud i.
Mr.. PEABODY was born at Danvers,
Massachusetts, on the 18th of February
1895. The grandfather of his great
grandfather, Francis Peabody, came
from Hertfordshire, England. and set
tied at Danvers in t635,so that be is Of
English stock. When eleven years of
age, he quit school and entered a gro
cery at DanVers IS grocers boy. At
sixteen, be quit the grocery business
and went to clerk in his brothers store
al New5uryport. In the spring of 1912,
he wSnt to Georgetown in the District
of ColumA Aia and entered the house of
an uucle eDgSged also in the dry goods
business. He Joined company Of ar
liIery when the war broke out, but not
being called into active service, he re-
turned to business after few months.
After remaining two years with his
uncle, he took charge of a dry good
house established by merchant of the
District. The friends of this merchant
biSmed him for entrusting the business
to a yauth of nineteen, but the house
was 30 successful that in 1915 it was
transferred to Baltimore, and became the
house of Riggs & Peabody, and in 1899
the firm name became Peabody, Riggs
E Co.
For twenty years, he conducted his
business in Baltimore, which consisted
chiefly in importing and selling Europ-
can manufactured goods. This bust
ness took him frequently to England,
aud he became known to the business
world on both sides of the Atlantic.
In 1885, he determined to open sim
liar house in London. and there, since
1887, has been his place Of business
and his adopted home. In London,
he became what Is called one of the
merchant princes Of the world. His
house became q medium for the inter
change of British manufactures and
American produce. Men on both sides
frequently asked advsncements of
money from him aud also frequently
allowed money to liein his hands, know
ing that at any time they could draw
upon him. This irregular banking re-
suited in is43 in the banking house Of
g gorge Peabody & Company, and from |

The areep creek Improvement

EDITOR cF THE FREMONT JoURNAL.-SO
many appeals have been made through the
newspapers, to the citizens of this city, TO
avail themselves Of advantages that come
up from time to time, looking towards the
general prosperity, that the author of this
communication has many doubts about the
utility of publishing it. He is not one of
those who believe that Fremont has arrived
at the summit of her greatness, that she has
seen her best days, that her property is
diminishing in value. A residence here of
forty years. and having some knowledge of
the progress which other towns have made
and are making, confirms long entertained
opinion, that our advancement has been
more permanent and is as certain to contin-
ne, for many years, as any town in the
northwest. Fremont has doubled her pop
ulation, and more than doubled her wealth,
in ten years, and ten years hence, if we i'm
prove in the same ratio, our inhsbitents will
number sixteen thousand, and our present
wealth be quadrupled. Within fifteen years
our enterprisiDg citizsns have employed
half million of dollars, on our business
streets and in the erection of substantial
buildings for the use of manufacturers and
tradesmeD, We have railroads &C., which
add much to our commercial importance, but
we have not good facilities for manufacture
ing. I desire to call attention to a project
long talked of and fully understood by
all those who lave investigated it, which
would, if brought to a successful conclusion,
add more to our importance as manufac-
turing town, than all the enterprises we
have undertaken, within the past two years
put together. l allude to the matter of
bringing the waters of Green Creek to the
east side of the river. The practicobility
of this plan, has been demonstrated by nu-
merous surveys, and it is now believed by
many, that the work of digging the canal
would by the cheap labor we shall have for
another year, be performed with much less
expense than the estimates of the engineers
who ran the lines. Should il, however,
cost double the estimates then made, it
would be q trife compared to the value of
the improvement to our city.
There is Potoer enough in Green Greek
brought to the top of Croghansville Hill, if
employed to its fsll capecity, to more than
treble the manufacturing, by steam and
water power, now done in Fremont. Make
such an addition as this to our business,
and need We have any snxiety for a rail
road to the coal regions. Put that power
into operation, and in five years we will
number fifteen thonsand inhabitants and
increase ouF wealth FIVE hundred fold. 1t
is in the nature Of things that this work
,oiH be done, then why leave it for another
generation to DO? Why not take hold now,
and show what Fremont can do, in the way
of manufacturing. There is 10 doubt about
the employment Of the power. Men
enough stand ready to use it. Shall not
this matter be we'll considered by our
wealthy citizens, this winter? A company
has been organized for the purpose, but it
needs sssistspce.' We have the capital
shall it be withheld.
