To>DAY.-Yes! and in fact, daily, there is
to be seen in Charlestown awonderful prophet,
whose generation in this world, it is reported
with certain truth, was before Adam. He
was with Noah in the ark. He knows not
his parents. His voice is shrill and powerful
His beard is of most splendid color which
is seldom or never cut. He wears no hat, cap
or wig. His coat is not knitted, nor woven,
nor spun. 1t is not hair, linen, wooden, silk
or cotton; yet of fine color. He lets all
men alone with religion. He does no. ap-
prove of living in Kings palaces He sleeps
not in bed; but standing or sitting. He
seldom eats meat, or drinks anything stronger
than water. He takes no money that is
offered to him. The most he was ever known
to take was but single grain. He, in gen.
eral, comes when called for, Blu. seldom
answers when spoken to. He cannot read OF
write, but is we'll skilled in ancient and modern
languages. Doors and windows open at his
prophecy. He rises from his slumbers bv
proclaiming ''the day ofthe Lord is at hand !''
He is composed of flesh and blood. lie ~
neither Democratic or Republican. He be-
i'eves not in the resurrection of the dead, nor
Is there any article iii the christian belief
which he denies. Tie is not the IFaur7er;:u1

Car Shops.

Shall Charlestown make an appropriation to
secure factory working 100 bands?
1t Will be obs rived no liability is incurred uu-
less the factory is permanently established. We
don't owe dollar until and after the factory is
in successful operation. There will be no EXTRA
tax until the factory is in full blast No
facto,y,-No tar.
Such factory will pay out, at least, 5000
month: which will he money brought from 9th
er parts of the country and paid ont here: with
out the factory and we will never see dollar of
this foreign money. We want our pcanl. tn
bear in mind, they don't pay ny.extrs tax I'M
til this extra revenue of $500 month. foreign
money, Is added to. the resources of the Town.
The assessment of the Town is very low. The
Assessors book makes some curious revelations.
Much OF the real estate is rated at one-third its
actual value. Hence it don't follow. because n
man is rich that he pays heavy tax.
AND yet even at this reduced assessment We
nave S8oo 0o0 OF taxable property and tax of
one-half cent ON the dollar or SIS on the s 600.
WIN pay corporation expenses and furnish a
sinking fund to pay off the subscription in 10
years.
For limited period We will exempt the fac
tory from taxation, viz: We wont tax the
building, the land it stands on or the machinery
&c, but, the factory people, who build residences
and own houses and cows, &C., &C., will he taxed
the same as the balance of us. The town is nav

pay out $4,000. month, and it will he worth.

But it is said our offer is not inducement

all bosh! 7;yi
The town was chartered in October, 1886, and
we have got no factory yet. 1t is time we freed
another schedule. Our natural advantages are
splendid. The Great architect has done vast
