III way many might do we'll TO pattern
afte-.
Last Sabbath evening some Of the
congregation attending service were
forcibly reminded of the good old times
our fore-fathers tell US Of, when the
congregations were so large that the
seats broke down. They broke in this
instance at least, whether from a weight
OF sin or from the amount of goodness
concentrated we do not know; however
some were painfully aware that being
humbled to the dust in such a manner
is not the most pleasant sensation i'm
aginable.
The pile driver of the Peoples Trans
portation Co, Is not now in operation.
The company has suspended work for
few days to repair the machinery.
We trust that the repairing will soon
be done, as it is encouraging to see the
work going on. People are anxious for
its completion.
Our town, although it has never had
a boom, the steady growth it has been
blessed with has worked wonders in the
past twelve months. \ year ago the
site OF Harrison was primeval forest,
spot almost unknown to the public.
Now We have busy, enterprising town.
possessing some tine buildings already
completed and many more in the course
Of erection. Each week new pIoiects
are put forth and new business enter
prises are added to the list This week
a first class drug establishment and a
tine bakery have begun.
Mr.. Thos. Hemingway bought the
butcher business Mr.. \. \. stevens has
been proprietor Of the past months.
Mr.. Stevens will oversee the business
until Mr.. Hemingway has made some
necessary arrangements prepatory to
his taking possession. Mr.. a. a. will
then transfer his interests to some
other business here.
The town people are somewhat dis. |
appointed fbut still Hopefully at the re-
suit OF the purchasing Of the Harrison |
townsite of the Indians. The bill as |
presented to congress located the town |
IN the lake, or a portion Of it at least. |
50 that the portion of the land to be
purchased would not benefit the town.
The mistake was made in a slight error
regarding the bounding lines. 1t will
now be necessary to return the bill to
congress to have the mistake rectitie,I
Or, as We hope, the secretary of the H.
terror may act upon it. The latter
would be much the quicker course if it
can be accomplished. Mr.. Cole, the
Indian agent, came to view the matter.
He says the Indians are will.
ng to do anything that will further the
prosperity Of Harrison. This state of
Affairs will necessarily defer the settle.
ng OF the townslte matter which has
70 much disturbed the citizens here.
'ut We are now certain of q satisfac.
DRY adjustment In the near future.
And when 1t is permanently arranged
will seal the fate Of Harrison. for hsr
success will then be assured. ,
