A SONG OF LOVES

Love is shallow brook
Tenderly wooiny
Each shady nook
With murmered SUN.
Love is river strong
Restlessly sweeping
Part sigh and song
Laughter and weeping
Love is an ocean desp
Round the world flowing,
Where hidden sleep
Realms beyond knowing.
Draw closer, heart of me,
Thy secret tcllings.
Which of these loves with thee
Maketh its dwelling9

REMARKABLE WAY TO CATCH A HUSBAND.
Last winter the Sunday Times, of
Memphis, Tenn, offered prize of $50
to the young woman who should write
the best letter or essay on "The Model
Husband" Miss Lillian B. Perry, of
Covington, thirty miles north of that
city, won the prize.
The letter was copied in the Indianap-
oils Tribune, where Fremont Reed. q
banker and rich business man of that
city, saw it.. He much admired the
beautiful sentiment. Going to New York
he came across the letter reprinted in one
of the metropolitan Journals. Reaching
Chicago on his return he read the prize
letter in Chicago paper. BY this time
he felt sure that his fate was interviewer
with that of the fair unknown essayist.
MIR. Reed wrote to her asking to be
allowed to correspond. She answered
no letters of this kind, having received
many. Mr.. Reed was persistent and
wrote second letter and inclosed en-
dorsements, and Miss Perry then con-
scented to correspond with her unknown
admirer. Later Mr.. Reed visited her.
a second visit ended in promise to be
his wife. The other day he arrived in
Memphis, and in the afternoon they were
married at the brides home. Mr.. Reed
is thirty-fve years old, and handsome.
The bride Is typical Southern beauty,
the daughter of once wealthy family
impoverished by the war, and is young

The Chronicle has number of
times called attention to the wonder
full mineral region to the west of
Trinidad, more especially to that of
Elizabethtown. 1t is a well known
fact that the Aztec mine, located at
that place, is one of the richest gold
producers in the west, and it is only
one of many of like character which
capital will some day develop. In
addition to this prospectors have re-
Gently uncovered a vein of rich silver
ore, and excitement equal to that of
Creede and Cripple Creek is likely to
develop at any time.
The only thing needed is railroad
connection with the outside world,
and this is bound to come sooner or
later. An extension of the Union
Pacific from Catskill would require
the building of only 40 miles of road,
and it would seem that Trinidad is
of sufficient weight to carry this pro-
ject out. The building of this road,
even if it went no further than Eliza
bethtown, would be of immense ad-
vantage to our city, but once built to
that point the wealth of the country
beyond insures its extension.
The Chronicle is informed that
there are a number of prospectors
working in the vicinity of Elizabeth
town, and the result of their work
will undoubtedly create sensation.
There is gold, silver, copper and
iron in large deposits, and with such
a combination coupled with our great
coal fields, and Trinidad as head
quarters, the second city in the state
will be here. The time to take ad-
vantage of what nature has so richly
bestowed is now, and our people
should at once interest themselves in
the matter. Trinidad Chronicle

THE INDUSTRIAL EDITION
OF THE WHIG,

The WING has just completed the
fifty first year of its journalistic life
To suitably celebrate the event.
and it is an event either in the his
tory of man or a newspaper-we
have in course of preparation what
in the language of the moderns
would be called aSouvenir edition.
1t will be ready for issue next
Saturday, September 5rd, and while
it is a souvenir in the sense OF
being commemorative of the age
OF the WHIG, its Editor has not
teebly initiated so m ny OF his city
contemporaries by devoting eight
pages to self praise. but has done
what he thinks is better thing, he
has had forty photographs taken OF
the Mills, manufactures and other
industrial interests, Banks, Public
Buildings, &C., OF Cecil County. and
having had engravings made OF them,
will publish these illustrations with
descriptive articles, constituting what
he terms an Industrial Edition of
THE WING. These local industries
are largely the source of the present
prosperity of the people of Ceci
County, and being such, should have
suitable recognition in the columns Of
local newspaper; which should be
alive to the importance of home indus
tries. The preparation of this edition
of the WING has involved time, labor
and expense. We shall however
feel amply repaid for all, if the per-
usal OF its columns shall afford our
readers pleasure and instruction.
We believe it to be valuable con-
tribution to local industrial history,
and if not earning dollars or even
dimes in its preparation, we shall be
amply rewarded, if we shall have
earned the good opinions of our
readers, in our desire to tamiliarize
them with the manufacturing indus
tries of Cecil County.
