The interesting fact about the word
probation is that it is not in the Bible
in common use as declared. In the single
verse where it has been put into the revised
version (Romans V, A., it represents a
Greek word meaning experience" levi
dence,n ''proof." 1t is translated "expe-
Renee in the authorized version. In all
other cases where it occurs in the revised
version, except Romans V, 4, it is rendered
proof" never probation, and should be
rendered experience" or proof there
also, as the commentators declare. 5.

More Winter weather.

While we were fondly anticipating
the return of gentle spring, and watch
ing with delight the signs of winters
departure this week, our high hopes
had tumble, for the mercury went
down yesterday morning, and a snow
storm came from the north east, and
it IS very evident now that we must
wait a little longer for the gentle
breezes to softly blow. The frost was
already out of the ground in some
places, and few days more Of nice

AFTER 43 YEARS.
The Remarkable Transition of Store
Room.

| The Remarkable Transition of Store
Forty three years ago, on the site
now occupied by the mammoth brick
stores belonging to the Cochran estate,
| stood an unpretentious frame building
which was located there away back in
the early history of our sedate little
town, and where the gentlemen of the
agricultural districts were wont to
exchange experiences, or arrange for
a fox chase, or horse race. The build
| ing in 1850 was established as har-
ness manufactory by Chas. Anderson,
and was considered at the time an
extensive enterprise working, as he did,
from eight to ten men, and there are
number Of the samples of the work
done during his occupancy of the
building still in existence, the leather
firm and stitching being done entirely
by hand, as perfect as the day it left
the factory. But the rapid strides of
progress which marked the towns
early history soon demanded an i'm
lprovement of the site and the little
frame building was loaded on set of
wheels and removed to Hamtown
where it now does DUTY as an Ethio-
lpian residence. The new brick
erected in its place, which was rented
by Russell & Son, two Baltimore gen.
ltlemen, who opened turf goods en-
Iporium and harness mandatory COM
ibined, there being number of good
horses in this section at the time and |
the old fair grounds was in it's prime,
although turf goods were but little |
known, and the business more remun- |
erative then than now; these gentle
men continued the occupancy of the
building until 1879 when they returned
to their former home and the building |
rented for various purposes until the
past few years it has been used as a
gents furnishing goods department by
s. M. Reynolds & Co. But history is

w. r. Reynolds, who has leased the
building. Mr.. Reynolds proposes
using the ground floor as show room
and the upper floors for a factory. The
work will be done exclusively by hand
and he proposes making it the leading
industry OF the town, as well as re-
peating the history of the earlier
times by making it the headquarters
for the farmers. The old cornerstone
bearing the words whips" and "Col-
lars" is still in place and will be left

was in those days when a wagon load
