UNIONS CENTENNIAL.

In0 AHunnA Propose 10 CSASOE4tO the
occasion In Fitting atyIe-An Edu-
eaGfOnaI Institution with a Great
Record.
Union college, Schenectady, whose
alumni will celebrate its centennial at
commencement time next June with
great enthusiasm, has an extraordinary
record as an educational institution.
It was the second college incorporated
within the boundaries of the Empire
State; it was one of the first, while not
departing from it's high standard of clas-
steal instruction, to develop scientific
instruction; it was the first to establish
as a separate course department of
civil engineering; it was the first monde
nominational college in the United
States, though recognizing as fully as
any other the value of religion; it has
never been hostile to athletics, but it has
avoided participation in the ultra mad
ness of devotion to football that has
caused so much discussion concerning
other colleges, and it was one of the first
of the higher institutions of learning to
do away with hazing.
These things all tend to give Union
an individuality of its own, but they are
by no means the only facts in its history

nuisance.
He did it to the extent of cleaning out
the place, smashing the bottles and fur

who was in charge. The obstreperous

costs. and in default brought to Abilene

No Chance of Being Caught.

Judge Andrews, Of Georgia, used to
tell an amusing story of the way in
which he was once taken down by
one of his audience during a political
address. He was, a candidate for gov
ernor of his state and was explaining
to the crowd Of people that had assem-
bled to hear him how his friends had
pressed him to be a candidate and that
the Office was seeking him; he was not
seeking the Office. I'm fact" he ex'
claimed, the Office of governor has
been following me for the last ten
years. At this point tall country
man at the rear of the audience rose
"But here's yer consolation, judge he
shouted. You're gainin on it all the
time! It'll never catch you" This
cheering prophecy proved to be quite
correct, in spite OF the mirth it pro
voked at the time of its utterance.

Speak Well Of Your Own Town.

Take pride in your town, says the ST..
Paul Trade Journal. There are too
many who decry their own city. Are
you one Of that kind?
There will always be croakers. The
average crOaker is an unsuccessful busi'
uess man. II man finds his trade leav-
ing him he never bIanes himself. He
generally lays his non success to the
town.
No matter how one-horse your town
may We, he thankful that i isn't y one
jackass town, and put your best efforts
forward to make it two-horse town.
If every tradesman and mechanic would
pursue such tactics the town would soon
be dog undeT-the- Wag
on town.
1t is usually the case that croaking is
unjustiied, and there js plenty Of evil
nence that it is a positive harm TO tie
town. The man who hears yo;: speak
dispa ragingly of your town may never
see it, and because you belttle il, he
may be prevented from visiting it. He
may also prevent others from so doing.
rncre's lots of capital waiting for invest
ment to-day. Possibly some of it could
De used advanta yeons'y ia your town,
but if ;ha. town is full Of croakers, none
Of that capital will 20 there. No capital
lst will invest in town whose people
have no proper pride in its renown.
Once in while I find shoe dealer
who, when asked how business is, says
it is null. Sometimes he uses q strong
and irreverent adj"ctlval phrase to en-
phasize the duliness. Then he launches
forth the idea that the place is a dead
town any way. Do you want to know
my opinion of that man? l believe he
has done more than his share to kill it..
II he tells me that the town is unenter-
| prising, believe he has done his level
! best to drive enterprise away. Take no
stock in the unpatriotic man. He will

WILLIAMS COUNTY,
A Brief Description Of It's Great
Inducements to Settlers.

WILLIAMS COUNTY is the extreme
Northwest county of the State Of North
Dakota, with the Missouri River forming
its southern boundary, and it has river
frontage Of about $50 miles. The County
covers an area Of nearly 1900 square
miles, and embraces about 100000
acres of excellent farming and grazing
lands About one-lialf Of the County is
| uDderlaid with a superior quality Of
Lignie Coal, which is found in stratas
varying from three feet to twenty feet
in thickness. There are also numerous
beds OF SUI phur Of extra fine quality.
The soil is rich and durable, and by rea
son OF the peculiar formation Of the sur
| face OF the country, irrigation is rendered
both practicable and cheap. Cereals Of
ali kinds and vegetables flourish here il.
| abundance, and always pay the producer
a handsome margin for his labor.
AS stock raising country Williams
County is equni TO any other region in
the western states. Hay and shelter are
river and the small streams running
through the interior Of the county.
Williams County offers the most adj
vanrageous Inducements to settlers by
It's famous stock-ralsing ranges, and its
own cheap fuel in wood and coal. The
I1Ahtars are mild, and all CLASSES of stock
I'd ze out On the ranges nearly the entire
| season through, requiring but very little
| extra feeding. All kinds Of building
| material and excellent clay for brick
| making can be found in many localities
throughout the county. =.
Financially, Williams County is absoa
lutely out of debt, there being not
dollar OF bonded indebtedness, nor any
outstanding warrants, as shown by the
official statement Of the County Auditor
an; Treasurer on July 1st, 1865.
WlLLlSTON, tl.a County Seat Of vii
|ian.s County, is beautifully located or
the Great Northern Railroad, with the
Missouri River washing its southern
limits, and situated only twenty miles
from Fort Buford.
WlIllstOn has two hotels, 81 K stores, Two
saw EalIs, a drst-class blacksmith and
wagon shop, two meat markets, one
new spaper and job printing office, four
restaurants, two dress making shops, Il
carpenttr's shop, two brick yards, a bar
ber-slop. two churches, a school house,
a court house and Jail, two billiard halls,
and four sample rooms. It is the freight
division Of the Great Northern Railroad, e,
with its ronndhouse and shops located
here. In fact, the volume Of business
transacted here will compare favorably
| with any town Of its size in the northwest.

Decker. It seems that Coleman puts
his hired girls in the basement to sleep
when the house is full, and the Malta
people think the girls are drawing cards
