Shcndun Mons q: The monthly payroll
OF any town is a good test by which to
i1dgc its progress. Shendun claims to
make a creditable showing iu that line,
as her payroll for the month Of May will
reach little oyer $4,000. This is no
guess, but an accurate statement COM
piled from a canvass of all or industries.
The payroll for the month of June will
be Increased to $4,000, as within two
weeks the Plumbers Supplies WORKS, the
Sbendun Machine and Repair Works, the
VALLEY Pipe and Pressed Brick Works and
The Virginia Plaster Works will begin
operations. A payroll OF $4,000 for a
town seyen months old is good show
ing. II proves conclusively that there is
plenty of life in it and plenty Of work
beng DONE
