CT Island Pond and Vicinity:

WHEREAS, ! feel it my duty to
thank The good people Of Island
Pond and vicinity for their very LID
eral patronage in the past year which
has kept myself and family in Bread
and Clothing. am unable to man
ufacture words to express my feel
ings towards them. As | look back
and see what has been done by town
officials, backed up by a Ring, that
should be denounced by the Arabs,
intending, as it looks to me, to push
me to the wall, and my family to
the poor house. Consider my feel
ings. The dark cloud, however, soon
passed as saw people hocklng to
my assistance from different direc-
tons, whom | had not seen before,
and showing in different ways that
they, too, had seen something wrong
and that their assistance was needed.
People will certainly judge for them
selves. [ again thank you, and may
GOD BLESS YOU.
| will do in the future as in the past,
cater to your wants, and do what |
can to prove to you that this is writ
ten in good faith. My intentions
are to share with those who cam
their bread by the sweat Of their
brow, in the way Of regulating the
retail prices SO that each shall have
full value for their money. This has
been my aim in the past, and is, per-
haps, what has caused the unjust to
act as they have. May
GOD HAVE MERCY ON THEM.
1t is written that the good shall out
number the bad; so 1t is, and may
it always be so.
In conclusion, / will state that |
am prepared to serve you in Gre
ceries, Provisions, Flour and Corn,
Corn Meal, etc, Dry Goods, Ready
Made Clothing, Crockery, Glass
Ware, Wood, Hay, etc, etc, in fact
everything usually kept in a general
store. Aud, soliciting your patron
age-you shall certainly be served
in my best manner-I am,
Your Humble Servant,

LABOR Day.
The Equipment and Organization
Commented Upon.


Commented Upon.
WAsHINGToN, Sept 6.-To-day was OBJ
served as Labor day" at all the great
manufacturing centres in the North. Pa
aades Of labor unions We're held at Balti-
more, Philadelphia. New York, Boston,
Newark. N. j. Albany, Buffalo, Chicago,
and many other points. In Baltimore
the numbers in procession and the inter-
est taken by those not in the procession
resulted in a total suspension ofhusincss
Tor the greater part OF the day. In Balti-
more, Philadelphia, Boston and Chica-
go the reports note remarkable
perfection OF equipment, organization,
marching and display of trades emblems,
as we'll as extraordinary numbers. New
York seems to have fallen behind all OF
these, and Newark as well, in point of
numbers. This is attributable to the lack
Of harmony among the organizations. A
great many openly announced their in
tention not TO participate when the selec-
ti0n of the chief marshal for the day was
made some time ago.
At Chicago 10000 to 80, 900 men were in
lines. The feature OF the parade there
was the remarkable uniformity shown by
each division OF marchers, the latter all
being equipped with canes and generally
wearing SLOUGH hats of dark or gray
color. All the trades marched in columns
Of fours, well closed up, and generally
moving with great precision and regu-
larity. One column OF 900 employees
OF bank and safe manufacturers wore
white high hats. The columns Of the
Journeymen tailors, numbering 900 men,
wore white Derbys, and presented proba-
bly, the finest appearance OF any distinct
body OF marchers. One of the trucks in
the line carried figure OF a twenty-foot
giant stamping out cheap labor. idealiZed
by the figure of Chlnaman. The pro-
cessiou concluded with an almost endless
display OF manufactured goods.
