whole the crowd was an orderly one. Men
kept their tempers evidently buoyed by
the belief that the day would be the last Of

Sunday turnout since the fair opened.
Rev. James Miller, of the Marshsfield

congregation yesterday by devoting his
sermon to a strong plea for Sunday open

greatest need of the time was a relaxation
OF strict Sunday observance, and that

Christs teachings as Sunday opening

than like place where new vehicles
are turned out. Mr.. Daniel Wieand,
the new proprietor, is giving the town
an enterprise of which every citizen
will have rerson to feel proud. The
building which will be devoted TO fac
tory purpose is a neat frame structure
two stories high, Is feet front and S5
feet deep. On the first floor the ware
room, GO feet deep, is located. In the
rear is a blacksmith shop. The second
floor is partitioned into rooms in
which the different departments found
in a carriage factory are located, such
as the trimming shop, etc. On the east

proportions, This will be occupied by
