It is with regret we publish that the
Parvin Iron Wagon factory will leave
Penn's Grove. Although it had the
good wishes and some assistance from
Our citizens yet it has net with doubt
full success as it takes more than good
wishes to run a business. TO be very
successful and meet the competition of
cheap wagons the iron one must be
made on a large scale so as to reduce
expenses to the lowest possible. The
iron wagon has met with most favor ia
the rocky districts of Pennsylvania, and
as Messrs. Garrison and Hutchinson
have received large inducements and
financial aid to move their factory to
Columbia, a city of about 10000 in
habitants on the Susquehanna river
about ten miles west of Lancaster in
Lancaster county, no one can blame
them for moving. Since the factory
has been in Penn's Grove, no doubt, it
has helped the business of our town by
bringing money here and making work
for laborers. While we regret the loss
of the industry, the capital Invested in
it,and two enterprising business men,
yet VIZ hope Messrs. Garrison and
Hutchinson will meet with success in
the new home for their factory.

Oklahoma.

The opening of the western part of
Indian Territory, now called Oklaho-
ma, to settlers on Monday by a prOcla-
nation from the President will he one
of the historic acts of the county. u.
S. troops guarded the territory from
the boomers until the appointed time,
when there was wild, exciting rush for
the land. The first fellow getting his
claim staked had the prompted right to
purchase the section from the govern
ment for IA nominal sum, provided he
is a bona iide settler. Notwithstand-
ing the territory comprises several hun
dred thousand Of acres, yet there were
so many boomers who had left their
former homes to get new ones that by
night every section was taken up and
many failed to get any claim. The
scenes were very exciting and many
murders resulted from disputed claims.
Favorable sections, which in the morn
ing had no man living on them, by
night had cities laid out and organized
with hundreds of inhabitants, and lots
were sold at $500 and some were held
at 81 ,000. The founding of the town
of Noble reads like u fairy tale. Tex
as COW boys and half breeds, mounted
IN the tleeteSt ponies that could he pro-
cured, started on IA dead run, with
Winchester rifles in their hand. Their
horses were urged TO the greatest speed
possible and took every interest in the
chase. These men were employed by
IA wealthy Texas cowboy, and within Il
few hours after noon they had their
town government organized, a Mayor
and city officers elected and the new
town has 1900 inhabitants.

Prohibition seems to he getting a
black eye down Fast. The recent de-
feat of a constitutional amendment in
New Hampshire was followed on Mon
day by the defeat of constitutional pro.
hibition IN Massachusett by about 40,
600 majority. 1t is thought that Rhode
Island will soon vote prohibition out of
her constitution as the liquor men have
united and elected officials who will not
live up to their oath Of office to enforce
the Law. Although prohibition may
meet with defeat in some places vet il
is not a set back for temperance, as ag.
itation educates the people and forces
more stringent laws Oh the liquor traf-
fin
