Rev DR. Barow's lecture Saturday
evening was very interesting and
instructive. The immensely Of the
West was fully sho wn. The work on
the great wheat farms, important
points on the Great Northern Pacific
Railroad, mining, waterfalls, etc,
were illustrated by the stereoptican.
He dwelt on the great farms at

these farms being seventeen miles
long, necessitating a man to start in
the morning and put up over night
at the other end Of the "patch," and
return the next day! He said he

globe into Texas, in families Of five
persons, and give each family a house
lot aud large garden Everything

The site selected for the new build

side of the Court House and putting
on an L for this purpose, and enlarge
the Town Hall at the same time -
Some people will catch an idea as
quick as dog will feel flea. Glad
the Committee did not see fit TO do it.
1t is too handsome a building TO be
mutilated. Besides, the Town Hall
is. large enough for the present.-at
least the Taxpayers OF this burgh
