The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1891-09-25

One Of the Oldest and most prominent
business men of the town yesterday sug-
gesled to a HERALD reporter a plan for or
ganzstion in lieu of a board of trade. The
idea il novel one and the plan appears
feasible. 1t is suggested that co-opers.
tive industrial organization, having for It's
object the pr motion Of home industries,
be formed. That property holders, business
men, and taxpayers who are not properly
holders or business men, be enlisted and
each member pay in one dollar per month
on each share On an issue of 500 shares
the income would be $500 per month and
such an income would lay good founda-
tion for serious and healthy industrial
movements OF course if the one or two
thousand shares could be disposed Of so
much more healthy the movement would
be. When sufficient funds are accumu-
lated the association would be in position
to give outside capitalists and manufac-
turers, who are now rapping at our doors,
substantial encouragement without casting
burden upon any class of citizens, The
property holder, of course, is the most inter-
ested in having industries established in the
town and he could well afford to waive in
terest fr while on thu installments he
would pay into the fund The business
man is equally interested and the taxpayer
who is not engaged in business and does
not own property would also have an in
terest, In the case of the latter the holder
OF shares who takes an active interest in
the affairs Of the association would be in
better position to secure work for his rela-
tives in the factories or other industries
that might be established than the man
who interested himself in no way with the
organization. The gentleman suggests
that meeting of citizens be called to dis
cuss the plan.
Members of the gentle sex, residing in
adjoining dwellings in the eastern part of
the town, yesterday engaged in wordy
battle that had an amusing termination.
To the uninitated the passages the COM
batants hurled at each other sounded like
so much Greek. All the reporter could
understand was, You did," II didn't"
Your liar" Come out here and say
that" "Go in the house, you dirty thing"
II am, am I2,n when p Sunday
night" 80, what a liel," you did"
Ibid you ever hear the like ?" ec. The
battle continued several minutes and then
one of the parties dashed into the house,
squatted herself at an organ and proceeded
to drown the vocalsms outside The tune
was that of the beautiful hymn, "Shall we
Gather at the River ?'' The Amazon who
was left outside stopped talking, listened for
moment and then shouted in voice
calculated loud enough to be heard by the
player, "There' Il be no river in the next
world you'll go to, so there" and there
was general slamming of doors and the
dog in the yard crawed into its kennel
amid the death-like silence that prevailed.
The local men of the forest, otherwise
known as members of Shenandoah Tribe,
No 1866, Improved Order Of Red Men, had
a Jolly time at the state fair in Bethlehem
yesterday, The excursion was well patron
lied. Over 200 tickets were sold at the Lee
high Valley depot They returned to town
about Il o'clock last night, fully satisfied
with the trip and what they saw at the fair.

The town is as dull as a transforming
company's production of "Romeo and
Juliet and the lot of the news CLEANER is a
hard one mot even a dog fight" re-
marked Justice Monaghan, of the First
ward, this morning. But there is always
calm before a storm aud as the P. g. r.
Q. & l. Co. will pay the employees at its
colleries IN this district tomorrow ii is
quite likely that something interesting will
turn up by Monday"
