nation of a Pastor.

Editor NorRint Call: HaYwards still
fourishes, and has not been drowned in the
late big storm. On the contrary our lively,
incpient city is entering upon such an epoch
of Industrial prosp rity as it has never be-
fore known. We can now boast that there
is not another town of the size of this one
in the State that possesses a street-caI line
in full operation. This proud distinction
HaYwards has enjoyed for four happy weeks,
and the average citizen who boards the
ounding street-car and pays his-nickel for
transp rtation cannot for the life of him
help the metropolitan feeling that creeps
into his heart from manifesting itself in mis-
mien. 1t is curious, but, after all, there is
no sitter of humanity like unto street-car.
We know our neighbors better for seeing
hem in these vehicles than we ever did be-
fore, as well, doubtless, as they now know
us, having jOurneyed with US in the same
tram" as our English visitor called it.
Doubtless the street-car hog hUurishes
everywhere, given his natural field of opera
lions, as does the woman who thinks her
half-grown boy should ride free, and doesn't
Zee why a nickel isn't good for round trip
when she merely rides to crafty her curl
Osity. However, when the bus-dTiyeTs at
lie station have got used to their new COM
petitOr, and few small boys have been

cars, we shall ieel more as if our street rail
road is a fixture in town, and not the mere
creature of an hour that similar enterprises
have been in other small towns.
The street-car line is not the only enter
prise Of moment that has recently come TO
HaywardS. We realize our Importance
more than ever, now that we are actually
banking town. The gentlemen interested
therein as officers and Directors number
some Of the solid noneyed men OF the State,
and they represent financial responsibility
If many hundreds of thousands of
dollars, so the new bank is placed at once
upon a substantial footing. 1t speaks well
for the future of our town that men of this
stamp are ready to put their money into
such an enterprise here, and there Is no
doubt but that our new bank Will proya
material benefit to the State.
The Congregational Church Society here
has been in the throes of internal trouble,
and as consequence Rev. Mr.. Madge, pas
tor OF the church, on Sunday. the 1St inst,
rendered his resignation to the congrega-
lion. council Of laymen and clergy of
the county churches was called 10 the mat
ter and held meeting here. Mr.. Madge
has good many friends in Hagwards who
would be sorry to see him depart.
Our new bank Is having built q fire-proof
vault, which Carl Mohr, who was SO fortu-
nate Us to secure the contract for the mason
work thereof, says is going to be q first
Farmers and others who drive into town
have contracted the somewhat imprudent
practice of tying their horses TO the awning
posts along our streets. These posts are
adapted to supporting the weight of the
awnings rather than to sustaining any side
wise strain. ard as con sequence this Gus
tom among our drivers is apt to cause acct
dents. 0he awning on Castro street was
torn down recently by horse who was
thus hitched pulling back, while another
one in front OF Mrs. Whites millinery store
nearly met similar fate, the horse tied
beneath it becoming frightened and pulling
back,
Oar local paper. the Journal, has just eu-
terrd upon its fifteenth publication year.
The proprietor, George A. Cakes, has made
first-ciass newspaper of it, and has we'll
deserved all-the success he has met. We do
not imagine that George will be the heaviest
deposition at the new bank, but he would be
one OF them were his account in proportion
TO his pluck and journalistic enterprise.
