II we look to the future in the present
iight OF science we must say that if moth
ing lntervenes to stop the course of things
the sun must at last solidify and become a
dark, rigid globe, frozen and lifeless among
It's llfeless family of planets. In the words
OF another, "lf we carry our Imagination
backwards we reach at last beginning of
things. If forwards an end of things in
stagnation. That, by some process or 9TH
er, this end of things will result in new
heaven and new earth we can hardly
doubt, but science has as yet no word of
explanation"
The discussion of the paper was opened,
by appointment, by Gov. Fuller and Com
mander Brown. Following their remarks
Mr.. Leavitt answered several questions
which were addressed to him on points
connected with his paper.
Judge Shea VIII Describe the Siege of
sumter.
AT the election of officers for the ensu-
ing quarter Gov. Fuller was chosen presi-
dent. The executive committee and secre-
tary and treasurer were reelected. Mr..
Day, for the executive committee, read
letter from Judge Shea in which he offered
to come to Brattleboro some time during
the winter to give paper embodying some
unpublished history in regard to the attack
on Fort Sumter at the outbreak of the war,
gathered from material which the Judge
holds in his hands, and illustrated by orig
inal photographs, of which the only copies
are those in the government archives and
those owned by Judge Shea. His offer
was unanimously and cordially accepted.
When the time arrives Brattleboro neigh
bors and townsmen of Judge Shea will be
invited to enjoy the evening with the club
at some convenient place.

WAX & GoLDsToNE

stand second on the list for
amount OF subsidy. Doing a
general merchandise business in
Cottonwood and having almost
the entire trade of the surround
ing country, they were alive to
the benefits to be derived from
a market for wheat, All others of
our subscribers can look for their
profits in grain market, raise in
value of real estate, market for
wood and a thousand an one new
ways consequent on the success
full conducting of the business but
these gentlemen know that other
merchants will establish them
selves here and when they donate
they invite competition. Under
the management of Mr.. GoLD-
STONE, who is both good looking
and pleasant, and has the repu-
tation Of being tolerably honest,
the trade has been built to its
present stage, Competition is
the life of trade" and Mr.. GOLD
STONE thinks there is room here
for another good store. He
thinks that Cottonwood is des-
tined to be THE city of Camas
Prairie on account of it's advan-
tage of situation in relation to
freightrates etc,
Space will uot permit us to
personally allude to all our
subscribers but we nevertheless
consider them all our friends.
Following we give list of the
subscribers to the subsidy and
if the name of any party who
has subscribed does not appear
it must not be considered intent
lonal on our part and we will not
only have the matter corrected in
the next issue but avoid such
oversight when calling fer pay
ment.

efe difhcn1sles to overcome and
Certain risks 10 meet in a matter
of this kind. We knew that we
were locating in country prac-
tically hndeyeloped in regard to
the growing Of wheat, that we
could not expect full business
at the beginning, that we were
at a long distance from a ship
ping point, and that we were un-
certain as to the time of the
building OF q railroad to the
Prairie, and, in the event of it's
being built as to the location or
convenience of said road. We
knew that a market for wheat
would be q boon to the people of
Camas Prairie and asked them to
consider a proposition we sub
mitted to them and to consider
that proposition. in THEIR OWN
interest, not in ours. This prop
osition was, how much subsidy
will you give us in order to help.
overcome the difficulties we NAV
encounter in establishing this
business? We believed that if
the people of Camas Prairie had
faith in her productiveness they
would respond to our request ac-
eordingly, but we expected to en-
counter more difficulties in the
way of visionary schemes" ell.

and other objections than have
been made in the puerile manner
brought before the people by an
Anticipated minority. We found
the great majority of the people
alive to their own interests and

Prairie that the work of building
and equipping the mill will be
proceeded with Immediately, we
claim but a small portion of the
credit for so desirable a consum-
nation of the joint wishes of the
people and ourselves.
J. L. ECKERT,
a representative farmer of Camas
Prairie, was the first party we
interviewed after our arrival. |
Mr.. EcKERT not only approved |
of our offer but by most gener-
Gus subscription on his own part
and constant support throughout !
our entire work, he has lightened
our lahors and to great extent
is answerable for our success,
HON. L. P. BROWN
stands first and foremost on our
list of subscribers, and had that
noble pioneer of this country not
been deprived of his vision, we
fully believe the amount of our
subsidy would have been great
ly augmented. Although our
acquaintance has been short, yet
we believe no one rejoices more
than ourselves over the prospect
i've recovery of his sight. We
can never forget l.. P. BROWN.
J. 8. RHoADs
is an orator in the pulpit and
heavy debater on the mill ques-
ton, When, in our public meet
ings, questions Of perplexing
nature arose taxing our mental
to it's utmost for a salts
factory reply, driving us into q
corner for explanation and some
times causing us to wish we were
somewhere else, we called on
friend RHoADs to help us out and
that call was never made in vain.
J. B. FoRsMANN
approved, in no uncertain way,
Df the value of a market whilst

pot only gave their personal
support but eanvassed their
neighbors with good results.

coRAM BROS,
must not be passed by without
mention, They and the
sURRIDGE Bros,
are located a long way from the
proposed mill, but were actuated
to support the question from the
TACT that a new source of profit is
to be given to the people and all
subscribed literally. The CoRAM
Bros, and the SuRR1DeE Bros.
have made competency, are
thorough business men broad
minded and liberal.

made himself generally useful
and considerably valuable.
When the prospect was gloomy
MR. SMITH could always cheer
US by a yarn drawn to suit the
occasion. His work will ALWAYS
be appreciated.
DAVIS & SWEET
as farmers each donated to the
enterprise, and as business men
acknowledging the benefits to be
derived from grain market and
also manufacturing industry
subsidized freely as firm. Men OF
this class deserve a liberal patron
age and they generally get it.
sHIssIER, INGRAM & CO.,
do not believe in discouraging
any enterprise wich they consider
is benefit to the country and if
we can Judge their opinion OF
this matter by the size of their
donation that or we stand wav
up in their estimation. We think
it is the mill for we are short.
FoRsMANN & HATTRUP
did not forget us either. They
will point with pride to some of
the lumber in the Touring mill
as of their manufacture.
AUGUST KoPCZYNsKI
thought he could not afford to
keep his name off the paper and
having done his part in the mat
rer was determined his friends
should do likewise. He is a
peaceable man in general but
woe to the man who refused 10
help this matter out. KoP would
not take no for an answer and
when his gestures got high they
got there.
ROBERT NUGENT
did not fail to explain to the !
perfect understanding of many
of the people, the benefits to be
derived by having a market.
We fear BOB was a little selfish
in this matter. He thinks Cot
will now include Den

he will double his subscription if
we ask him-rather dangerous

MARBLEDALE.

Once again Little Johnny Fleezer has struck rich find, so it is said. This time it was while hoeing his potatoes growing on the rectory grounds. Several medals, very ancient and picturesque, no date ap- bearing on them. They were evidently enameled or painted green at some early date. Time has made sad inroads on their former beauty. Holes were in them so that the wearer could use string, rib- bon, or perhaps a chain and hang them on the. neck, or lappel of the coat. Af- ter careful scrutiny Johnny found no German letters. All was English and consequently mystifying to him. He has very generously concluded to restore them to the rightful owners if they will call at his residence and prove ownership and give receipt for them. The receipt must be in German, which certainly is a very simple condition for the recovery of such ancient keepsakes. Little Johnny's steed, having become very restless and nervy of late, he has been thinking of the cream route to tone it down little.
 The rectory is now in good repair to the credit of the ladies of the parish who have been working hard for two years to get the money for that purpose. F. D. Hallock, with the assistance of Mir Dou- gall, has made thorough job of it and deserves much praise.
