ENTERPRISE

On Friday last number of the citi-
Zens met at Germania Hall and per
fected an organization under tho name
of Prairie du Chen Enterprise Associ-
tom The Association was completed
by the election of the following officers:
Al. Levi. President; Ed Whaley, Vice
President, +. /. Kidd, Corresponding
Secretary; VIM. ID. Merrill, Recording
and Financial Secretary; Jas. Garvev.
Treasurer Executive Committee. b.
+. Fay, JAS. Lawler, Chas. Grelle, M
Menges, +. Smrcina, A. Bosch, Geo.
Wachter. L. Chase. w. g. Moshier and
c. Blancher Prairie du Chen Union.
They have voted special meeting 10
raise money 10 encourage industries,
and will meet monthly. 1t is such en-
ierprising spirit as this that makes a
city grow out of swaddling clothes and
become a strong robust metropolis.
Lancaster has all the brains and money
ocesSary TO make just such pushing
endeavors 10 get TO the front, and an
other start, in the direction OF board
of trade or association would accomp-
fish much. The spnrt of last fall es-
tablished the Excelsior factory, thanks
TO the energetic gentlemen who were at
the -Messrs Twiehell and Os-
born. and IFS success is no longer prob
lematical. But it will not do to sit
down and count the number of bales
per day, in a satisfied way. One fac
tory is good; two will be better, and a
dozen would be best. There are many
features Of Lancaster as a manufaciur-
ing point for many small wares well
calculate TO attract outside capital. but
this cannot be done without an effort.
Not knowing our advantages. investors
viii not come to US, therefore they
must be shown 10 them. and an invi-
iaiion extended with whatever aids OF
benefits our Board of Trade can offer.
By all means let us have Board OF
Trade.

DO farmers respect their own posi-
ton and occupation? Are their meth
DDS of business such rs To attract the
favorable notice of the rest OF the
community DO they value themselves
at high estimate or at such one as
they wish to be valued by the worldP
In their associations with other men
do they exhibit dignifed regard for
themselves and resent such imperti-
nent and assumed superiority as would
place them in an inferior positions Do
they do their best to exhibit them
| selves to the world in the most favora-
Bile wayP II is to be feared that they
do none of these things -as class
although there are many individuals
who stand far apart from their associ-
| ates in these respects, and to reat
extent make an honorable position
for themselves, and for their fellow
farmers by reflection The farm
ers, with those persons di-
rectly depending upon them, make
population, and with such support as
might naturally lend to them they form
the balance weight OF the political and
social structure. But it Is very GER
tain that for some reasons the position
In society to which class so placed
and so numerous is entitled is left va
cant because of inability to fill II.
And thus the influence of the farmers
Is thrown away, and like the man who
misused the talent, the farmers are
given over to the tormentors.
No other men are so deluded as
farmers permit themselves to be.
They are so easily talked over asd
Influenced that they become the prey
OF charlatans Of all kinds, and espe-
cially the victims OF sharpers and
swindlers. People of any district may
be judged by their public schools. A
man should spend more for the educa-
tion of his children than for their
clothing, for the furnishing oil their
minds than for that of their bodies,
and, inasmuch as the mind Is
infinitely superior to the body, so its
development and training are more to
be considered. Viewed from this point
OF view, one may perhaps make a
shrewd guess of the cause of the low
position occupied by the majority OF
farmers. Unfortunately these men are
not mentally clear-sighted, and do not
see their own unfavorable position.
Hence we see philanthropic associa-
tions proposing to the farmers a series
OF questions regarding their social, POI
litical. moral. and pecuniary standing,
and the causes Of its low grade. which
is admitted as a foregone conclusion
by the very submission of these ques-
tions. Every farmer should feel called
upon to study these matters and call
the attention of his neighbors to them
as beginning of new order O! things,
in which the farmers, rendered able by
education, training, and change OF
thought aud mind. should occupy a
high ana potential position, N. Y.

Darlington Journal: The only and
original Carl Lewie, Barber, Tailor
and Glove-Maker" is a man of circum-
stances. He has experienced TO a
marked degree the ups aud downs of
life and has practically demonstrated
that man can rise from tho bottom of
the hill and place himself upon the top
most knoll. The Lewic place inst
across the bridge is high and dry. the
hill steep, and the roadway leading to
the house anything but level. Tie
other day Mr. Lewie hitched up his
horse to go TO the fair ground where he
speeds the animal, preparing him for the
free for-all trot at the county fair this
fall. Now, like all thoroughbreds, the
horse was full of ginger and sometimes
ruled Lewie and sometimes Lewe
ruled the horse. but this day it was a
question as 10 who would be master of
the ceremonies. The point in dispute
was in regard to the mode of proce-
dure. Lewie believes in the old orIho-
dox way of the horse going before the
cart. and the horse Uice VerSa Lawie
had hold of the bits and used, what
seemed 10 him, persuasive argument
and pulling power, while the horse
saved his wind for the second round
and used pull-back power only Slow
lY yet surely the horse gained on his
adversary and seemed to pull him as
easily as the Plattevile firemen pulled
the Darlington hose-team in the ting Of
war. Near the base of the hill is a cut
of with perpendicular drop OF about
twenty feet; toward this point backed
the determined horse, and in vain did
Lewie protest in several different Ian
guages, and endeayor to warn the
horse of the impending danger to limb,
life and the buggy, but the horse had
his dander up and proposed TO keep on
in his downward course regardless of
consequences. The pitch-off was soon
reached and over went buggy, horse
and Lewie, and when they reached the
bottom the large rent in the dash board
seemed TO grin with grim satisfaction
as it saw Lewie held in the embrace of
the horse, as the latter was stranded on
his back in the mud while Lewie was
lying upon the animals heaving breast
trying to comfort him. Taking a knife
from his pocket Lewie cut the animal
loose from the buggy and the horse
calmly walked to the spring and took
drink with serenity as cool and
dignified as the average ten pin roller
swallows glass of bear on his defeated
opponent. The breaking of the buggy
was the only damage done.
