To be a true chronicler of events as
they tilt by III rapid succession is not az
easy as 1t may at FIRST sight appear, nor
is II always as agreeable as one would be
led to believe who observes with what
gusto the topics Of the hour are discussed
through all grades, from the gossip of the
street to the highest literary production
OF the most successful photographer of such
topics. The We regret" is as common
as the We are glad and in this little
community we regret to say that the true
chfonicIer would of late years have had
more frequent use for the former than the
latter OF these phrases. To day the " We
are glad is in its right place, although
the We regret would still have to be
used by the weather reporter. The rain
hitherto has uo5 been sufficient. A real
heavy fall is wanted 10 make q good crop.
But In spite Of this sad fact we have
cause sufficient for being in better spirit
than would seem to be warranted so far.
Those accustomed to read the Avis have
no doubt already guessed " what is APP"
There must be good news about those
" eternal Factories" which, in the opin-
ion OF the Avis, take so high a rank among
the elements to work out a prosperous
future for this little community. Aud so
there is. The last obstacle 10 their way,
alluded to in our last issues, has been re-
moved by the prompt action OF those
among our people who, to use d very
popular expression, can see beyond their
noses, and appreciate what has been done
in this matter. The meeting in the Club
Rooms, to which several gentlemen invited
IN q LATE issue of this paper, was held, and
the INVITATION responded to in the right spir-
it. 1t will be remembered that the meeting
was for the object of furthering the Cen
trail Factory scheme, or. to speak
palmer, to get subscription for an amount
of shares wanted to complete the sum
required for the enterprise. At any other
time there would not have been the slight
est trouble about this. But there was
then, owing to causes we have dwelt Upon
perhaps rather too often, Many obstruc-
lions in the way 10 success are, however,
only apparent, and disappear under cor
rect management. Of the GA shares
wanted, Al were subscribed for on the
snot, and the rest have since been taken.
