J The starting up Of the 'new" Shenan-
doah City colliery has given our people
encouragement 1t is big plant and
much is expected from it. Now let our
people reason little aud plan a few
Industries that will employ our surplus
female labor. The money is here and it
ought to be invested in enterprises in
town that will give rs boost ahead of
the other towns in the region. Those who
have tried speculating out of town and
lost, should not get discouraged and
refuse to try to retrieve their luck right
here at home. They cannot lose; they
: have everything to gain. Property
holders are more interested in the towns
future than others and they should make
the start. venture to say that there
are thousands of dollars tied up in stock
ings and in other places that are not
earning a penny, while our banks have in
the neghborhood of half a million
dollars in their vaults that could be
borrowed at a fair interest TO put up and
start number Of paying establishments.
Will our people awaken to this fact and
get move on" themselves.

The prospects are that ere the summer
passes the young fellow in this town who
isn't the owner of bicycle will be the
exception instead of the rule, as in years
past. Wheels are coming down in price,
but they are too high yet The chances
are they will drop lower soon and just at
what price they will stop is a matter of
some speculation. To ride wheel is a
sensation-sublime in anticipation--in
reality shade better, and no wonder the
boys and men and ladies too delight in
the recreation. The bicycle of today is
the forerunner of something better. Per-
fection has not yet been reached. The
active brains of men who have genius
corner in their domes of thought will
fashion something soon as will serve to
throw upon the market the present style
as drug-and then-what then? Well,
maybe it will be for the betterment of
brain and muscle and maybe more work
for the court plaster factories. Who
knows?

Residents on East Oak street, who take
pride in keeping the gutter and street
in front of their premises clean, are very
indignant at the course of one of their
neighbors who makes practice of saving
paper, boxes, &c, for a whole week and
then dump the whole lot on the street to
be waited by the wind in all directions
and especially places cleaned an hour or
so previously. 1t is bad practice, ald a
very mean one, and is no credit to the
person who causes the nuisance. Stop it..

Patent leather shoes have been quite
superseded for evening wear by satin
shoes, and some prettily fanciful footgear
of this order, daintily embroidered are
worn for dinners and dances. The latest
novelty in black satin shoes has an
applique of white Brussels lace on the toe.
Other charming evening shoes sparkle
with steel, silver or jet paillettes. Rarely
indeed are high heels seen on the street.
The military heel for smart occasions and
low, wide heel for walking reign
supreme in ihe costumes of the hest
dressed women.

The man who does not advertise has no
business to have a business. His failure
to let the people know what he has in
stock and what the price is means that he
is content to take his chances in stumb-
ling along the rough business paths of
life, with the danger signal staring him
in the face. 1t means that he is narrow,
that he is not up to date, that he does not
know good thing when he seesi it. When
the Sheriff has dropped in to serve the
papers, or he finds it necessary to "shut
up shop" then he realizes that his old.
fogy methods, his slow. going ways, his
failure to take the public into his conf
denceIis the cause of his ruin, and he sighs
over the opportunities he has wasted and
the success of the man who was once his
rival who had the good sense to use
printers ink.
