OUR canning factories have all
started up for the season. Apples,
pears and sugar corn are being put up
mostly, though tomatoes will soon be
coming to market. The great trouble
with our employers now is to get help.
With the shirt and hose factory en-
ploying female assistance, and with the
drain of three factories on our COM
munity, workers are found to be COM
paratively scarce. This would be an
excellent chance for some unemployed
families of other towns to move in our
midst and take some of the unoccupied
houses. Work can be obtained most
all the year around. The hundred or
more BohemiaDs at Counselman's fac.
tory, make good, steady labor.

the contest with the strong Rock ford

noon. 1t was one of the most brilliant
games Smyrna has played this season.
Scarcely a scratch hit was gotten off of

pitched a magnificent game and was a
puzzle to the Rockford PLAYERS. The

phenomenal, and he received continued
grand stand applause. The all-round

There is considerable speculation about
that monetary conference, which as yet is
only among the probabilities. 1t is expected
that the call for it, if issued at all, will come
from Germany. 1t will be entirely discre
tionary with President Cleveland whether
he accepts the invitation for this country to
participate, but there is no reason to doubt
his acceptance. 1t is not certain that the
three Commissioners to be selected by the
President will be named until the invitation
for the conference has been issued and ac-
cepted. The six commissioners named by
the Senate ard House-Senators Jones, of
Ark; Teller, of Colo, and Daniel, of Va;
and Representatives Crisp, of Georgia Cul-
bertson, of Texas, and Hit, of Ill.-are, with
the exception of Mr.. Hitt all silver men.
Secretaries Gresham and Carlisle were
much disappointed at being prevented at the
