CABLE.

CABLE, Aug, 31-This village is boom
ing and as the ARGUS appeass to be in a
similar state, it is both meet and proper
that the latter should contain the news and
items of this great mining community.
Cable is the outgrowth of the great coal
mines which are located in this immediate
locality. Although comparatively
young in years, it numbers over
1000 in population, and is far ahead
of older, cities in material Improvements
and as business centre. Among the promi
nent men of business are Levi Salman, the
mighty smith without whose shop the town
would be incomplete. Henry Patten the
barber is a tonsorial artist much needed
among the miners.
Doctors J. s. Rosberry and A. S. Ray,
search for health.
R. B. Sarris is the birch wielder as he
officiates as principal of he Village school
The general store of the Cable mining
company, of course heads the list of retail
establishments There are however sever
al other concerns such as r. B. Ellis,
Greenwood s. Poselwarts, and Chas. Pet
terson.
F. Haight and E. Rathburn each have a
meat market.
Mr.. Smith keeps the only drug store of
the place.
Thomas Fisher does the harness bust
ness without competition.
Chris Schwartz has shoe store of good
stock and big trade.
The livery business is divided between
Giles Hudson and II. W. Sisson.
A. Lee retailes lumber and sustains a
good sized lumber yard.
The fashions are supplied to the deni-
zens of the place by the Misses Sutcliff
and Miss Peterson. The former keeps a
millinery shop and the latter does the
dressmaking business.
The chief point of interest in this place
is the coal mines of the Mercer county
Coal Mining Company which has two of
the largest mines in the state. Over so
cars are loaded daily with different kinds
of coal and over 200 men are employed in
different capacities about the mines. AT
present several improvements in the shape
of machinery for mining coal are being
introduced and increased products are ex-
pected.

Now that confidence in the President s
recovery is being realized, the subject of
executive business is again discussed. and
in connection with the probability of the
feasibility of General Arthur being called
upon to act as President until President
Garfield is fully recovered to reassume the
executive duties The fact can not be
overlooked that in every department of
the government there are matters that re-
quire the action of the chief executive.
How long they can remain so with
