and Persnpale.
The Mission Sabbath School, non'sec
tartan organization, gotten up few years
ago by q number Of our philanthropit
ladies and gentlemen, has been forced &c
close and cease operations Tor want Of
room in which to conduct its exercises
They had used the old First ward schoo
building, but since the Board Of Educa
ton removed the seats from the upper room
they have been without place OF meeting
The school had an enrolment Of nearly q
hundrer children and did great deal Of
good work fer the young folks OF that
neighborhood. 1t seems pity that an or
ganization in such fourishing condition
and capable Of doing so much good should
be compelled to disorgani+e for want OF
room. This circumstance presents to our
wealthy citizens al excellent opportunity
to good in the world by donating enough
enough to build.sn eii6ce Of sufficient ne
pscity to accommodate the Mission school.
There seems to be no diminution in the
interest felt in the oil possibilities of the
western part Of this county. The drillers
have not yet arrived, but the people VINO
have leased their land feel that the com.
pany under whose management the exper.
iment is to be tried are acting in good
faith, and will arrive soon and commence
operations.
The fond hopes OF our citizens that we
we're about to experience q boom seem
doomed to fall TO the earth, leaving the
sanguine ones more disconsolate than
before. Last months business hereabouts
according to our merchants observations
was considerable in excess Of the month
previous; but 50 far November has shoWr
continual falling of, and an inclination
to real panicky dqllRes1. The receipt
and shipments BY rail, outside Of that CON
uected with the glass industry, are conSid
erably lighter and showed falling off 81
most aquAl to the dressy months of las
fall aud water. With the EtDs snC
Standard mills of, or running half time
as present prospects seem TO indicate, tn
case, there will be IS little business thi
winter as last summer.
4 What has become OF the talked Of Sol
diers Monument for Riverview Cemetery
Has it gone glimmering2 Are We TO neve
have 9 single decoration, and instead o
making our town pretty pleasant place
have everything rough and ugly2 River
view Cemetery has q pretty name aud !
; located in q place which might be mad
? attractive and beautiful. Oh
t The knoll facing the rive
would be an elegant place for q mont

} expended in other beautifSing improy'
ments, would transform what is now q
} most ugly enough to scare g corpse to hf'
into as beautiful ana stttective Is can b
found snywherere in this vicinity.
