~ PUBLIC MkETING.-We are much
obliged, as all our patrons should've, TO
our neighbor, "Seyeral Changers and
Mechanics" for his article in our issue
of the 7th. Both Of the suggestions
are good, namely. tor 6 per cent. bank
and WOODEN factory. AS it is propos-
ed to establish the factory in Shepherds
town it behooyes our citizens, one and
all, to take the proper steps al once, to
raise money through a joint stock COM
pany. Our neighbor recommends this
course, first, as the best mode to raise
the necessary sum, and second, to have
as many as possible interested pecuniar-
ily to effect the harmonious and success
full prosecution of this enterprise. We
are very glad to be able to report to orr
readers that all of our citizens are anx-
ions to establish the Factory, and are
willing to take stock. There is now no
difficulty in the way Of speedy accom-
plishment of this good object, in which
all are deeply interested. But the peo-
pie must get together, to consult and
unite their means and wisdom. TO this
end we propose and say that a public
meeting will be positively held in the
Council room tonight, Saturday the
2lst,) at 6 l-2 o'clock. All are invited
to attend. Come not only to talk, but
to "show your faith by your works"
