Tomorrow is the 18th Of June. the
anniversary Of the ever memorable bat
tie Of Bunker Hill, the frt bat
tie Of any magnitude in which the pa
triots Of the Revelation engaged with
the disciplined hosts Of the English
army. II was then that the gallant
Warren fell. one Of the noblsst and
pursst Of the old heroes Of the Rsvolu.
ton. The English forces were succsss.
fsl because Of their greater strength.
but the moral effect upon the Ameri-
cans made their defeat partake Of the
nature OF . victory. They had met the
enemy and tested its power. and from
that time forward they were prepared to
use good judgment in planning the CAM
paign. The anniversary is celebrated
In Boston and Ch.rlestown with as
much enthusiasm as the Fourth Of July.
Csnnons boom. bells ring. the militia

probably be displayed by whoever has
1t to display. but beyond this there will
be NO celebration.

present time has kept his wheels well

ital invested, is $50, 900. which stands out
in glaring contrast to the small amount
first employed. Twenty-eight hands are
now employed in spite OF the panic and
hard times. This mill turns out every
variety of building lumber TO any
amount, at all times. The amount OF
business transacted last year was $780,
900, and the appearances are better this
year than usual

Mr.. j. o. Clore, and Is now in successful
operation, furnishing material of all
kinds 10 the trade. We are glad to know
that they are able to compete with Evans

ing run for the accommodation OF the
people. Give them a call when you need
any thing in that line. They keep on
