Slow Movers.

The movement of this government j.
considerably on the Waterbury order.
Some months ago petitions numerous
and long were sent to the postmaster
general from both ends and along the
line of the Marshfield & Southeastern
railroad, praying for the establishment
of a postal route between this place ami
Grand Rapids. Besides these petitions
numerous letters of personal nature
have been sent, urging the matter aloEg,
In return for these we have received
promises of prompt action in the mattri
but at last accounts all the red tape hnH
not been used up and we are still wal
ing. In such matters there is a SLOW
ness that is painful. By late rulings III
the postal department you cannot send
a letter with a stamp on it by any train
man. This makes it more bin nding as
letters were often carried to and from
Grand Rapids, as a matter of accommu-
datiOn, by the train crew, making it
possible to receive an answer the same
day. We are aware that large bodies
move slow but it would seem that after
several months of good, hard waiting
there should be some sign of life. The
postmaster general can't establish that
mail route any too quick to suit the pro-
pie who have asked for it and to whom
it would be a great inconvenience

TO WOOD COUNTY FARnERS.
Chance TO Advertise Free of Cost the
Products of your Farms.

At the last meeting of the Wood
County Bureau of Immigration and
General industries, it was decided to
place the products of Wood county
farms before the eyes Of the people in
practical way. With this end in view,
the farmers of Wood county are asked
to preserve for the benefit of the bu-
rcau sample Of the best products of
the farm.
These produGts will be arranged into
a number of attractive exhibits and
will be sent to the different county fairs
in the southern part of the state and to
the state fair.
1t is desired to have only such prod
ucts as can be easily handled and of an
imperishable nature. If however,
farmers have an especially fine speci-
men of field or garden products which
do not come under those qualifications
it might be we'll to send them along and
properly exhibited.
A written statement should accom-
pany each specimen, setting forth the
kind of land Oh which raised, the num-
ber of bushels per acre, or, if that be
impractical, the value of the products
per acre.
Farmers within a radius of ten miles
of the county seat should bring their
specimens direct to the secretary's
office in Taylor & Scott's insurance
agency in Centralia. Those living fur
ther away can leave them with their
town chairman, who will see that they
receive proper attention.

Races at Stevens Point.

Great preparations are being made
for the coming meet in Stevens Point
on August 25, 26 and 9th. The Wild
West Show will be special feature up
on this occasion and a fine time is
promised all those who attend. Some
of the best horses in the state are en-
tered and lovers of trotting, running
pacing and bicycle races, will regret ii
if they fail to attend. A cordial invita-
ton is extended the citizens of Grand
Rapids and Centralia through Geo. Z.
Oster, secretary.

DOWN THE BAY.
Immense Crowds Visited the Bay
side Resorts.
Torrid Wave Proved Boon 10 the Pro-
prietors Of Places at the Shore.

The docks of the Providence, Fall River
and Newport Steamboat Company yester-
day were like SO many beeh ives all day,
for the hot weather drove men, women
and children down the river, and every
boat that left the city was filed to its
fullest capacity.
Many persons made several trips up and
down the bay before maxi landing.
OF course there was no accident, which is
a testimony to the efficiency of the
company's employees, when one considers
the vast throngs carried up and down the
Narragansett.
The only unusual incident was that the
greyhound of the bay, the Caroline A.
Peene, ran aground at Builocks Point
and the old reliable What Cheer threw
out friendly line and pulled the Peene
of.
At Fields Point Colonel Atwell and
his corps of able assistants cared for the
biggest crowd of the season and the last
To be served nj this famous place got just
"a good n shore dinner as the first, for
the colonel had his iarder stored to the
root with good things to eat, and was
therefore ready for any number that
might call upon him.
At Crescent Park things were humming,
and as one landed on the dock the
strains OF Reeves band could be heard,
and each of the band men played SEEM
lngly unconscious OF the fact that 1t was
hot. Then there were no end OF attrac-
tions for each OF the soloists OF the
bend, and the leading members of the
opera company did their part to entertain
thsst housands who called upon MIR. Boy
den during the day. The monster din
ing pavilions were well patronized.
Rocky Point, watch abounds in shady
hooks and dclls, was fairly alive with
folks from everywhere, and Mr.. Hsrring-
ton seemed TO he overywhe here at once,
seeing that his patrons were we'll cared
for. There were mere attractions here
than any one person could enjoy. bgt
Il was noticed that the flying no scs,
swings and anything that would raise a
breere did thriving business. The
dining balls, which are said by pany
to be the coolest on the bay, wero filed
over and over again, for II wns quite
evident that the mothers and sweet hearts
thought that IL was cheaper 10 get one

The car was going at slow rate of speed
which saved Mcklroy's life. The motor
