We feel highly honored to see noted in THE BEE our progress. During the shoIt time we have made such strides as to call the attention of the public. And we trust in the near future to be annex ed to the United States of America. We are peaceable people, and believe we can conform to your government with less expense, than the long talked of Hawaii an matter. While with us it will not re- quire any commissioners to investigate our situation as to the merit of this lum- and coal region, which will add wealth to those that are willing to work and seek a fortune. The laboring men are paid promptly ,and the capitalists are us- ing money freely, which has kept off hard times thus far, showing thrift in business. (ConJinued i'll THE BEE). The beautiful rugs that Mrs 5. F. Bur- gess and Mrs Charles Wirth have been making of late, are attracting consider able attention by the fine display of ar ! tistic work with the rug machine. The machine is very useful article, as it works up the rags and cast-off garments, and puts them to use where they are or namental and useful.
