koOAPz mANCFACTOhf. - lnere are |
doubtless number Of persons in this
community who are not aware of the fact
that Messrs. McCord & Go. are engaged
in the manufacture of lard oil and soap
in this city. These gentlemen, since the
" hog killing season opened, have been
running their mandatory to its fullest
capacity in filling contracts for steam
ing out" lard for Captain Akeny, of
Portland, and others, and have, during
the time mentioned, put up ready for the
market no less than $4,000 worth of
splendid, sweet lard, alone. They in
form us that so busy has the filing of
these contracts kept them that they have
had no time to devote to the manufac-
ture of soap or lard oil, but that early in
the Spring they intend procuring new
machinery, vats, etc., that will enable
them at all times to supply all demands
made upon them. This mandatory has
not received the encouragement at the
hands of our citizens that its merits de-
mand. Salem, better appreciating the
advantages accruing to community
from business enterprises of this kind,
has offered these gentlemen no in
considerable inducements to remove
their factory to that city and be-
come identified with her. Any citizen
who refuses to pa.ronize home institu-
tions, home manufactures, stands in his
own light. All institutions that tend to
build up and enrich community should
be fostered by that community. Per-
sons who come here with the avowed in
tention of going into any branch of in
dustry that will attract trade from other
portions of the country, and keep our
own money from going abroad, should
not only be fairly dealt with, but if nee
essary, superior inducements should be
held out to them, in the shape of material
aid, to help them to fair start The
larger the number Of manufactures we
have among US, the greater will be the
amount of capital invested, at the same
time the avenues of employment will be
increased. By them you give your city
wider reputation, increase her trade,
make greater her attractions as a place
/ of residence, and at once build up rep
uiation as a live, active, fourishing city,
where men of energy, honesty and indus
I try are encouraged to go forward in any
laudable enterprise, assured Of the as
sistauce and support their undertakings
merit "Never let any worthy enter
prise go from US, or die for want of nec-
essary encouragement" should be our
motto.
! To CoRREsPoNDENTs-O cores
pondents need not fear Of firing our pa
tience or the patience of our readers.
/ They are more than welcome, and the Of
tener they favor us the better. Several
of our friends who have promised to
write, have failed to do SO as yet; but we
hope they will favor US soon, and when
once started we think they will find it so
easy matter that they will continue the
good work We again invite communi-
cations from our readers and others, on
all topics Of interest. You will be well
treated.
DIPTHERIA.-Diptheria and putrid
sore throat will be common among chill
dren this winter, and if allowed to run
for few days may be very difficult to
cure. Mothers should watch children
closely, and when languor or febrile
symptoms appear, take spoon and with
the handle press down tie tongue, when
the little pus sores may be seen. Muri-
ate of iron and water, in equal quaint
ties, makes an excellent wash for sore
threats. Apply it with a soft rag-swab
or small camels hair brush.

survey that was being made last week
