COLD STORAGE.
Another Feature of Importance and Great
Commercial Value to Plymouth and
Vicinity.

In giving an epitome of the numer-
Gus manufacturing enterprises in our
beautiful city, we would neglect an im-
pOrtant feature of our prOgressivenesS,
if we failed to note the enormous bust
ness transacted by Swindell Bros.
These gentlemen have now one of
the most complete cold storage buildings
to be found in any city the size of Ply
mouth, in the United States. Their
place of business is on the corner of
Walnut and CAIRO streets, and large
new brick structure graceS the spot, %
NO and three stories in height, with Il
basement under the entire structure.
The greater portion of the first and
second floor is taken up for their storage
room occupying space of 4ON3O. in
the front of the first floor is the buSl
ness office, and on the second floor the
shipping department is located, and at
the time of our visit, contained hun
derds to turkeys and chickens ready for
shipment
On the first floor, the cold storage
rooms are utilized principally for storing
eggs, regular temperature of 80 de-
grees being kept. In the basement are
commodious rooms where the fowls are
kept ter being dressed, and frozen be.
fore shipment.
On the first floor is large loom be
tween the elevator and the storage de-
partment, that is eXclu u5ively for
the examination of eggs both be-
fore being placed into storage
previous to shipment. This department
is handled by experts. When the eggs
are shipped they are separa ed into two
different lots. Leaving the new build
which is now utilized for the handling
of the live fowls, preparing them for
market, and the creamery department.
While in this part of the building we
looked in on some twelve or fifteen
men and boys who were picking turkeys
anu chickens. In this department they
handle about four turkeys a minute.
The creamery operated by this firm,
has built up an enviable reputation and
the butter turned out by hem, enters a
ready market. This department does
not run during the winter. but in the
Summer is crowded to its fullest capac-
ity.
To give an idea of the enormous bus
mess done by this firm, only lynecessitates
the statement that they are shipping at
the present time two car loads of their
produce every week. While their pay
roll is not as large as other institutions,
being only $4,000 per month, yet they
scatter broadcast throughout the sur
rounding country every year, the large
sum of $4,000 to 100000, which goes
directly to the homes of the producers.
Such institutions as that conducted
by the Swindell Br s., is of great bene-
fits to our city, and ii is with pleasure
that we in as bri If manner as possible
outline few of the important fe itures
connected with this rapidly growing in
dustry in Plymouth.

GIVE THANKS TOMORRON
Thanksgiving Day First Observed by the
Pilgrims in 1921 Recognized by the
Episcopal Church i'm 1889.

Since 1863 presidents of the United
States have appointed the last Thurs
day Of November of each year as a day
of national thanksgiving in return for
the preservation of the nation and the
countless blessings that have come to a
free and independent people The pres
ldents proclamation Is supplemented
by the proclamation OF the governors
of states and SO the great national fes-
tival, inaugurated by the Pilgrims at
Plymouth nearly four centuries ago is
perpetuated.
The authority OF the civil govern
ment to appoint such a feast was for
mally recognized by the Episcopal
church in 1852, but the same recogni-
ton was not youchsafed by the Roman
Catholic church until 1855, almost
century later and over century after
national thanksgiving day had been
recognized by Congress. Thanksgiv-
ing, as an annual harvest festival and
legallzed holiday, i'll conception. per-
petuation and observance is purely an
American institution calculated TO lift
a great nation for day from Its selfish
pursuits and gives it an opportunity to
see in the RETROSPECT of a past year
that, with the toiling and moiling of
the millions, there have been showered
upon it a thousand blessings hitherto
unrecognlZed or not acknowledged.
On this day the toler ceases from his
labor. The day comes to him as one
of rest ana recreation. 1t is d day of
feasting from ocean TO ocean, from the
ice bound North 10 the sunny South
there is the deep and heartfelt con-
sciousness of being thankful for all
that has made these things possible.
Beneath all the festivities and mani
festatl0DS of rejoicing that will charac-
teriZe the day tomorrow, will beat the
great, warm, throbbing, patriotic Amer
lean heart and the thankfulness of a
nation Will be EXPRESSED and apparent
in every city, village and hamlet and at
every country fireside along all the
highways and byways Of this broad
land and by the token of the turkey
gobbler the national thanksgiving day
shall tie known both far and wide.
What shall we be thankful for? Reas-
ons, like the leaves of a mighty forest,
are innumerable Each of us has cause
FOR thanks for the preservation OF life,
Tor food, fer clothing, protection of
home and those that are dear to us,
shelter and what not We may be
thankful that we are not under the
rule of Sultan, that we are not ground
down and trodden upon 10y a despot.
We may be thankful that we are not
miIlionaires. We may be thankful
for the reign Of national peace and
prosperity and plenty by which the
year past has been characterized.
If the measure of our desires has
not been filled to overlooking we may
still be thankful for the things we have
received and few moments reflection
Will disclose TO most of us many such
things to be thankful for. Let us re-
joice and be thankful.

name of jerome KEN, who several days

OF assault and battery. 1t was learned
at the trial that jerome had a fashion
OF loading up On "tamerack,' ana when
he would arrive at his dOmicle, had a
fashion of SOLDERING up by exercising on
his wife's anatomy. Bat Jerome tried
his little performance once too often,
and his better half rose up in her
RIGHTEOUS indignation, and smOte him
over the pate with good sized stick
which caused the elevation of a hat rack
on his head. After due reflection over
the way he had been treated, he resorted
to law. While the evidence showed con-
clusiveiy, that his wife had bumped his
head, the jury discharge the long pa
tIent wife.

Inh Conductor

Conductor Lindell, Of the South Chi
cago trolley line, is, if reports be true,
a fit subject for the cato nine tails, the
pillOry, the stocks, the steel maiden or
bucket of tar and feathers. When a
car, whether it be street or trans -conti-
mental, is snow bound in bitter cod
weather, and the regular supply of fuel
is exhausted with no prospect OF re-
lief the passengers are certainly JUS
titled in using seats, floor mats and
whatever is at hand that may be con-
verted into fuel. With Che dreary
prospect of a night OF exposure and
particularly after authorities in the
matter nave refused to send relief we
believe the liberty loving people of a
great and sovereign state would justi-
fy the passengers IN either burning the
car seats Or killing the conductor.
But in this case the conductor said: get
out III the storm and walk or sit here
and shiver' and the people sat and
shivered and were chilled to the bone
and nearly frozen until they left the
car benum6ed and quaking with cold.

It is a very difficult matter 20 always

Will be executed for killing his own
daug hter and "stepmother.'' This
murder has been before the public Tor
some weeks, and every paper in the
country has told how he murdered his
little six year old girl and his wIfe's
sister. The Rochester Republican
of the same date, announces that
Smith will be executed for killing his
wife and child.

THE WHY OF 1T.

The New York Tribune, in refuta-
ton of the charge that the stringent
times are caused by overproduction,
says
TIE worst times this country has
seen for fifty years came with the de.
Cision of the people for a change of
national policy in 1892. They came
just when business, revivinG wonder
fully in 1891 and 1892, had reached
the highest point ever attained, yet
seemed certain to go much higher
Because things looked so bright
everybody had made ready to do a
big business, and the shrinkage in
volved prostration for many. What
the country voted for it is getting.
But it is the stupidest kind of fool
ishness to pretend that the world has
somehow arrived at producing more
wheat and more cotton and more
cloth than it can use. Double the
production, with prosperity, and the
world would readily consume it all.

FRlENDLEss AND DIsHoNoRED.

The present is the first administra-
ton in the history of this country
which is practically deserted by its
party organs and has no friends or
earnest defenders anywhere. The
Mugwump organs long since threw
Cleveland overheard so far as giving
him consistent support is concerned.
Under ordinary circumstances this
would strengthen him with his party,
but the constant exhibition of blum
dering and incapacity is too much
for them to explain or defend. The
New York World, evidently discour-
aged and disheartened in it's efforts
to support the President and be true
to him, as all party organs should
under ordinary circumstances, has at
last given up the difficult task. In a
recent issue, under the heading of
ga Spectacle of Impotence" it has
this to say: -
The spectacle of impotence pre-
sented by the present Democratic
majority in Congress is a shameful
one. The treasury is in a strait. Our
gold supplies are slipping away to
Europe in spite of favorable trade
balances. The integrity of the cur
rency itself is maintained only by a
repeated resort to a costly make
shift. The business of the country is
embarrassed by apprehension and its
credit abroad is impaired by reason
of perfectly understood and easily
remediable conditions. The Demo.
cratic party has majority in both
houses of Congress and it has the
President. Its representatives in
Congress can do what they please to
relieve the situation. Yet they dc
nothing and seem ready to confess
their inability to do anything in an
emergency of acknowledged gravity

A GREAT WRONG RIGHTED.

Evidence acccumulates that the re-
cent decision of the I. S. Supreme
Court against the oleo fraud will be
it's death blow. For years this gigan-
tic evil has thrived upon the dairy
interests of the country. Ostensi-
bly, designed to afford the poor a
cheap substitute for butter, it has
been pushed in every way that could
be devised, as genuine butter. Since
the famous "original package" decis-
ion, it has grown holder and has
seemed to be having things it's own
way, to the great detriment of every
butter maker in the country. Thous-
ands, if not millions, of dollars have
been taken from the dairymen by the
greedy and INSCRIPTIONS makers and
vendors of cleo. State laws, no mat
ter how strict, did no good in face of
the original package decision. But
now all is changed. The supreme
court of Massachusetts has just de-
cided that oleO colOred to look like
butter cannot be sold even as oleo in
that State. This is going to help
Vermont butter-makers, for large
part of their make goes to Massa-
chusetts. The business Of butter
making has brighter outlook than
any other branch of farming.
The party in power has been able
to strike effective blows against the
sheep and wool industry it looks as
though the markets of the world
would soon be closed to American
meat wheat sells below the cost of
growing, and common horses are of
little value. But butter is as high or
higher than usual at this season, and
the prospect is exceedingly bright as
to prices in the future.
The farmers Of northern Vermont
have great opportunity to make
dairying pay. If they will adopt
winter butter making, study their
business, and avail themselves of the
best modern methods of machinery,
they may be better off as a whole
than nine-tenths of the farmers of the
world. Ofcourse there ares who
are on land that should be in forest,
and who are so handicapped that
they must fall out of the race, but
the great majority of our farmers
ought to make farming pay.
