The Dinner at EIightewn.

The dinner at Hightown was de-
ciared great success by all who
participated. The day was an ideal
one: Providence smiled on the COM
mittee who had left nothing nn-
done Of what they thought would
be looked for on such an occasion.
The committee was one of the most
painstakipg we have ever known
We should like to compliment, but
if we began we should not know
where to end.
The large table spread under can
vas was laden with all that could
tempt the appetite Of man. 1t was
one of the best outdoor dinners we
have ever helped to Destroy got
ten up in good style and served &C
cordingly. We would like to speak
a word of praise on behalf OF the
walters, but must forbear. In ad-
ditiOn to the dinner there was lem
onade. ice cream and cake, all first
class. If everybody there did not
have plenty to eat and plenty OF
real pleasure, the fault lay at their
own door. The Highland Cornet
Band had been brought over in
good style by Arthur Beverage, and
their music added mach to the
pleasure Of the day The, band is
courteous, kind and accommodating,
and plays remarkably we'll for its
opportunity. 1t ought to be en-
couraged. We had some good sing
ing in the church, Miss May Sla-
ven presided at the organ, which is
the best one IN the county. lhe
members Of the band with DR.. II,
Il. Jones, Of Doe Hill, and Others
assisted with the singing. The
committee think they will realize
eighty or ninety dollars. 1t was
one of the pleasant features Of the
day to see all church workers equal
ly interested in the success OF the
occasion. The coming together oi
friends on such occasions can but
do good. Mrs. Fleming. wife Of
Dir. Fleming, and her daughter
Miss May, took quite an active in
terest in the work, and added nc
little to the pleasure and success OF
the day. REPORTER.

Real the following extracts from
the speech Of Hon. VIM. J. Bryan,
delivered at Knoxville, Tenn:
lyon can't read a speech made
by our opponents bat YOU will find
contradictions in it, and one propo-
sition will answer another. toT
instance, a man will say if we had
free silver 1t would give the mine
owners profit of 100 per cent.
when he took his bullion, worth so
cents, to the mint and had it con-
verted into dollar, and it is a ter
rible thing to let him make that
profit.
after he has worried about that
he vii! tell you, as a matter Of fact
that the law adds nothing to the
stature Of the metal under the free
coinage Of silver and 30 cents OF
bullion will only be a 50-ceut dol
lar. Both these statements cannot
be true.
IF You convert so cents worth
of bullion into a 50-cent dollar,
there is no profit to the mine own
er. And If the mine-Owner makes
a profit by converting so cents
worth Of bullion into one hundred
cents, then there are no 50-cent
dollars"

then-there was noNmore room in

The National Bimetallist published a
special number March 18th, intended
to give the reader a general idea of the
entire silver question, particularly in
its bearing and effect on the United
States. Without paragement of the
many excellent works extant, it can be
safely affirmed that nowhere else in the
same space, can be obtained more
comprehensive grasp of the subject in
its various phrazes. The aim has been
to only employ figures where necessary
for the purpose of illustration and en-
phasis, and to make the different ar
ticles as short as was consistent with
clear and ample statements. AS it is,
many may think that some important
points have been omitted, and that
those discussed should have been more
treated, all of which is
doubtless true. Nevertheless it is be-
ieyed that if carefully studied, it will
lay bedrock foundation for a thor
ough knowledge Of the whole subject,
both in its philosophy and it's details.
1t has been prepared at the urgent re-
quest Of many friends of bimetallism,
and should be read by every person
who desires to be informed upon the |
question, which has become
5he great issue of the present day.
