Decay in the County.

In another column is an item
stating that in 1855 over one million
dollars worth of lumber floated
down the Delaware in one season.
This amount probably came la gely
from this county and the money
arising was distributed in various
ways so as to reach nearly all
classes. Contrast that sum with
what is now derived from that
source 1t only requires too
slight stretch of memory to recall
when there was a large and -four
ishing tannery at Ledgedale on the
borders of Greene which gave en-
ploymeDt to many men, and a num-
ber of houses in Pike were occupie d
by its workmen. These buildings
are now rapidly falling in decay and
soon will be wholly gone. The Col
lingwood company at Wilsonville was
large employer of men and teams,
the tannery at Blooming Grove with
its lumber adjunct fourishel and
both were busy centres of industry,
from which many thousands of dol
lars were yearly distributed. We
might go over the county and point
to many such enterprises then in
operation, but now wholly and for
ever suspended. Our lumber is
gone, we have no mineral wealth to
succeed it, our lands are less pro-
ductive now than formerly, and the
whole county seems to be retrograd-
ing. Our expenses have not dimin-
ished in proportion to the loss of in
come, but rather have increased.
The people should reflect on these
truths and consider the ways of re-
cuperating our depleted prosperity.
The demand to do this is inexorable
and must be m et In this valley
summer boarders, attracted by the
scenery, the roads, the pure air and
water, have to some extent supplied
the place of other industries. They
bring money here, earned elsewhere
and this is more or less distributed
among our people. We have all
the requirements which nature can
furnish to induce health and plea
sure seekers to come among us. 1t
only remains for the people to use
such artificial means as are at COM
mand to improve and beautify our
surroundings, and induce more to
come. Increased population de-
mands greater supplies which means
better markets for produce and la
Dor. To encourage strangers to
visit the town and valley, improve
ments looking to their delights ard
comforts should be made. To this
end progressive, not necessarily ex-
pensive and wasteful officials, should
be selected. 1t is one thing to spend
the taxes in operations which are of
no permanent benefit, and quite
another to use the same money in a
proper and judicious manner for the
+ development of our natural advant-
ages. Select men for Office who will
have an eye single to our improve
, ment and prosperity, who by care =
full efforts will beautify our sur
roundings and render them more at
tractive to the eye of the city dwell
ers who come here to spend a season

DE LoME's SUCCESSOR,
VIII Be Senor Louis Polo Bernabe Span
ish Newspaper Says Situation Becom-
ing "lntoIerabIe." {"

Madrid, Feb. 11.-Minister Woodford
gave a banquet this evening to the dip
lomattc corps, Senor Gullon, the foreign
minister, and Senior Moret, the colonial
minister, were present. Senior Gullon,
questioned by newspaper men on the
subject, said that Senior Dupuy De
Lome's successor would soon be nomi-
mated.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns that Senior De Lome's sue
cessor will be Senor Louis Polo Bernabe,
son of Vice Admiral Polo, who formerly
represented Spain in the United States.
Senior Bernabe is now engaged in a
special department of the foreign minis
try dealing with commercial mat
ters and consulates. Ell Heraldo
De Madrid says: New and
menacing incidents tend to arise
between Spain and the United
States, resulting from the permanence
of American warships at Havana, the
display of arms and ammunition by a
yacht there, and the proceedings of the
American congress. The state of things
inspires alarm, and the government is
gravely preoccuDied by a situation
which is becoming intolerable"
With regard to Senior Dupuy de LONE,
El Heraldo suggests that his letter was
in effect produced by President McKin-
ley's message, as he had previously
expressed very favorable opinions" of

GUILD ENTERTAINMENT.
A Pleasing Program Given at St. Johns
Hall,

A very pleasing and successful musi-
cal and literary entertainment was
given by the ST. Johns Guild, in St
Johns Hall, Temple street, Friday even
ing to a large and interested audience
An attractive program had been pre-
pared by the literary committee, and
there was not a vacant seat in the hall
during the entire evening. John T.
Flanagan presided and introduced the
artists in his original and fehcitous
manner, much to the delight of both the
artists themselves and the audience.

There must be some organization and

the duty of every man to ally himself
with some party and to follow it so

YELLOWSTONE WONDERS.
Striking Views at the First of Burton
Holmes Lectures on Travel.

A good sized audience attended the
first of Mr.. Burton Holmes illustrated
lectures on travel at Association hall,
Friday evening The subject was the
Yellowstone national park. The~views
were stunning. They undoubtedly give
the best possible substitute for an ac-
tual visit that has ever been devised.
The photographs have been very ar
tistically coored, and the wonderful
color effects that seem everywhere pres
ent outside of the forests in that ex-
traordinary place are reproduced with
marvellous realism.
The wonders of the hot springs, with
their dazzling white, their vivid color
ings of red, yellow, green, blue and
brown and the exquisite blending Of the
tints, chained the eye so long as they
We're upon the screen. The only thing
lacking was the effect Of dripping water,
and the glistening of the SUMS rays re-
Elected from the water that constantly
overfiows the sides Of the pools and
trickles down the stalactites of car
Donate Of lime.
The geysers, of course, were of great
interest also, and the coloring of the
landscape roundabout added immeasur-
ably to the beauty and the naturalness
of the views. But the croWning glories
of all were the views of the Yellowstone
river, canon and falls. These were
simply superb and beyond all possibility
of description. Here again were almost
Incredible colorings of rock to contrast
with the rich deep green of the foliage
and more sombre forest effects.
Besides all these rare things, there
were views of camping parties, lake
steamers, prairie schooners, the United
States bicycle squad from Fort Missou-
la. the buffalo and elk and bear of the
park az we'll as the tourist parties at
one of the great hotels in the park. Mr..
Holmes story of his tour was full of in
terest and gave the listeners what they
most wanted to know about the scenes
they witnessed. The lecture proper was
over by $50.
The motion pictures were mostly of
geysers, mud geysers and cataracts in
the park, but there was also cavalry
charge and the passing of the Empire

ming should bring out even a larger

in the brain and nerves it leaves other ma
terials again for making nerve matter, and
so on.
But it takes rich, pure, highly vitalized
blood to do all this, and this is the power

that needed, appropriate food that the
overworked nerves are often too feeble
to extract unaided from the mass of

Miles B. Preston.
The skin and the eyes are two good
thermometers of health. If the skin has
spots, eruptions, an unhealthy palor or a
yellow appearance, and the eyes a glazed
look, with yeDlowish whites, it is high
time to purify the blood and regulate the
liver and kidneys. Paine's Celery Com
pound makes bright red blood and re-
lieves the liver and kidneys of the strain
that is brought upon them whenever inn
pure blood is constantly pouring through
their substance.
There is every reason in the world why
Paine's Celery Compound should build up
sickly people, increase their appetite and
nourish every tissue in their body.
AS even children are aware there is
blood all over the body. 1t is this blood
which builds up the tissues that have been
worn out. 1t carries all the materials for
restoring wasted and worn parts. To the
muscles it gives certain particular mate
rials for making muscle, to the bones it
gives up other materials for making bone;
