still. We must crawl upward If we can
not go at faster pace, tut in no case
must we let go, relinquish effort and get
started on the down grade.
The business men of Skowhegan, lead
by Abner Coburn who was always alert
for the good of the town, invested S35, 900
in this well appointed and substantial
brick building fourteen years ago for the
sake of establishing the shoe manufactur
ing business here. These gentlemen
have received but meager rental, not far
from 2 per cent, and this has been
absorbed in paying off floating debt,
insurance, taxes, etc. These men, who
had the good of the town at heart and
courage enough to put their money into
this enterprise, are interested in not only
keeping this industry running but in
enlarging its operations Ia order that
they may get something for their in
vestment. This is a case, that not in
frequently happens in the business
world, where more money must be put
in to save and render productive former
investments, and citizens who did not in
vest when the factory was built and who
have received IA years. benefit there
from, should take hold now to help out
their fellow citizens who did, and there
by at the same time, contribute to the
industrial and financial welfare of the
town that has heretofore stood by
its own enterprises as few towns of its
size in Maine has done.
If all interested will take hold hearth
ly and contribute his or her share to
this investment, the amount of stock re-
quired can be easily taken, but IL the great
majority hang back and withhold sup
port and encouragement a small min
GRITTY cannot do it without unreasonable
sacrifice and embarrassment.
The company ask no one to give them
a dollar. After years of experience they
feel sure the stock of the company will
pay dividends aud those purchasing the
stock will be helping themselves by
buying paying stock and, at the same
time, they will help business and the
own. The more stock taken the great
er benefit and the greater certainty of
dividends, as abundance of capital gives
opportunity to take every discount in
buying and advantage in handling the
product of the factory. Thus the COM
pany gives citizans of our town oppor-
tunity to invest in a home industry
where they can have voice in its man
agement, rather than in schemes in a dis
tant State or country of which they
know next to nothing and about which
they can do nothing.
Our citizens should attend the meeting,
Friday evening. All come and make
dilligent inquiry into the plan proposed.
Every man who has the good of the
town at heart should attend and give the
project candid consideration. Ii may be
that the one opportunity of generation
TO give the town boost, will be pre-.
scented at that time. A any rate, show
your interest in the welfare Of the town
| by attending this meeting.

Believe In Moral suasion.

Portland, Me-, Oct. 1.-THE pastors
of half dozen Portland churches held
a conference yesterday to consider
means for arouslng an interest in tenn
perance. During the discussion Rev.
DR.. Blanchard said personally he did
not believe in the prohibitory law, while
very heartily believing in total abstin-
ence and in making a personal and
christian sacrifice for the sake OF others.
Rev. Mr.. Malvern said that an ex-
perience of 25 years had served to con-
vince him that a minister who is un-
duly active In the work of enforcement
Is in danger of lessening his influence
I'll other respects and of seeing his
usefuless come to an end II do not
feel called upon to work on legal lines, >

Sheets of hank Notes.

A bank cashier in the west writes to
us to say that bank notes are always
supplied to the national banks by the
treasury department in sheets of four,
not 10.
Our friend confers further service
by telling little story. All the bank
notes on sheet bear the same number
and are distinguished from one another
by being lettered. The note at the top
Is "a, and the others are "B, ;" "C'
and I'D" in order.
AN amusing incident writes our
correspondent, occurred some years
ago when Twas acting teller in this
bank. We had just issued some fresh,
crisp bills, and one day a gentleman
rushed in all o1t of breath to inquire if
three bills that he had in his hand were
good. When assured that they were, he
said that he distrusted them because
they were SO new and because, when he
laid them down, the little letters on
the face of the bills read B A d, as he
showed by arranging them in that way,
and he supposed they must be bad. -

struck the cars. The engineer and
fireman escaped by jumping. One car
took fire,
