Y. sc. E. COLUMN.

At the last meeting of the county
union of Christian Endeavor a county
correspondent was appointed to send
each week such items of interest to
the county papers as might come
to his hand.
although the courtesy of the papers
we are given space which we shall en-
deavor to have filled each week with
matter interesting to each endeavor-
err.
I'll There has been one society admitted
to our union since our convention at
Coventry by action of the unions Of
ficers- the society at Stevens Mills,
Troy.
1t may not be uninteresting to know
something of this society's history:
In June, 1895, the I'd Congregational
church of Troy engaged as pastoral
supply, Miss IAlice E. Preston of Pa.
Soon after she began work there a
Sabbath School was organized at Ste
vens Mills, little hamlet of about
sixteen families. This was KEEP tup
through the summer, Miss Preston
preaching in the school house every
Wednesday evening. About Oct. 1,
Miss Preston's health failed and she
was obliged to return to her home, but
Mr.. III. j. Bennett determined to keep
up the meetings and by conversation
with the people he found that four
teen claimed change of heart. Since
then two more have been added to
the number, and they all date their
conversion back to the time when
Miss Preston was with them. Oct. 81,
Christian Endeavor Society was or
gained with fifteen active and no as
sociate members. Miss Lizzie Hartig
has now come to labor among them
and great results are expected.

There is no such thing in this life as
complete satisfaction. II a man has
no money, he is miserable, and if he
has lots of it, it is next to impossible
to invest it remuneratively. There is
no business which is sure to pay, not
even the business of stealing, but
that's because there are SO many per-
sons in it, and there would be many
more in it if the penitentiary did not
prevent it from being open to every

Nature makes few things exactly to

A Talk
About
Watches.

Bob. Ingersoll says that once a
watch was not a necessity, now it
is. Without a watch you miss the
train, and missing many trains con-
secutively invites Generalization.
Hon. Frederick Douglass once
said that no article he ever owned
had been more serviceable to him
than his watch. His success in life
depended on punctuality, and in
fifty years he did not remember
missing a single appointment.
Rev. L. Dewitt Talmage says:
A true watch is an invaluable pos
session.
A celebrated Chief Justice once
said that the number of watches
worn in any community was the
measure Of the refinement and civ
ilization of that community.
S. III. Preston says that every
person old enough to appreciate
and care for watch should own
one, and thinks it would be the
proper caper to purchase it at No.
1 Columbia Block, as there is
where the best watches are sold.

that has begun to cause alarm-but it
is not all in the most desirable places.
The channels of navigation have
shallow places in them which need
costly dredging, and the volume of
water is so limited that it is found the
ship canals leading out from and fed
by the lakes will make an important
decrease in it's depth. 1t is now pro-
posed not only to dredge out the
channels between the lakes, but also
to erect a series of dams with which
to impound their water and preserve
it for the purpose of navigation, and
it is evident that some such measure
must be taken soon Or the great and
constantly growing trade of the
lakes will be seriously hampered.
