The ManuiactuTers' Record OF Baltimore
publishes its annual review OF the indus
trial growth OF the South for 1887, which
it says was in many respects the most rel
~HitrKubi0 year m pEe mispOry Dt NifaD set
tion, as more was accomplished for the
progress and prosperity Of the whole South
than ever before in the same length u
time. There is scarcely a single line Of
manufacturing or mining business in
which the number 81 new enterprises re-
ported during 1887 is not more thanstwice
as large as in 1856. OF the fourteen South
ern states there are only four in which the
capital invested in new enterprises is not
double the amount invested last year. In
cotton manufacturing there has been great
activity. and seventy-seven new mills have
been projected. which is the largest NUM-
her Of new mills ever reported 10 one year.
The Industries OF the South are being
greatly diversified. MS well as increased.
This year the amount OF capital employed
is $256, 298. 600, against 1929, 226, 900 in
1886.

I'm Memoriam Frank Lincoln,

e. F. Lincoln, known by his friends as
Frank, was native of Maine and a lineal
descendant of the Pilgrims. In religion he
was Swedenborgian. He inherited the in
tegrity OF his ancestors and was most scru-
pulously honest and conscientious in every
thing. During the two short years he had
been in Butte he, in various ways, had
come in contact with many people, and
everyone that knew him regarded him as a
man OF unquestioned integrity Those
most intimate with him and who had to do
with him every day and every hour in the
day were the ones that appreciated his
manly qualitits the most. AS was said by
one OF the clerks: He's the only man in
the office that never lost his temper or
spoke an unkind word to any oneN His
record was unparalleled in the Postoffice
seEYicen EY rt4r rnv the fof Ine .arge sums
in small amounts that passed through his
hands. Mr.. Talent and wife, who is sis
ter to Mr.. Lincoln, were devotedly attached
to him. The many friends that gathered
at Mr.. Talents residence the day after Mr..
Lincoln's death, testified that he had a
warm place in the hearts of the people.
The rich floral offerings that were sent in
were an evidence of the esteem in which he
was held, and as was said by one OF those
present, had everyone to whom he had
done kind act brought but single flower
be would have slept in wilderness OF
flowers.
