20 years, Pennsylvania being his former
home. From his acquaintance with the
locality and many of the people the
dire disaster was impressed upon him
with additional force and sadness.
THE winter SHOWS have passed away,
Again he's come the gladstone May,
With singing birds and blooming flowers,
With purling brooks and shady bowers"
Thus sang gladstone local poet in

looked out upon the face of nature
on the morning of May 81, the bard
must have seen how misplaced and un-

on the cold, cold ground.

"A dispatch from Madison, May 80,
SAYS: madison business men are en-

the firm and consulted on the matter.
The firm gave the delegation some en-
enlargement, and it is probable that,
should suitable bonus be offered, the
works would be rebuilt here" Per-
haps if Watertown tried she might be
successful in obtaining this plant, which
would be very desirable thing to have
