Although the clouds have been dark and
threatening, and looked at times as if the storm
would sweep US far out to sea- today it looks as if
the tempest was passing and the clouds are light
ening up and can imagine see silver lining
even on gold basis.
Now, in regard to my colleagues on the Board
let me say that they have been untirng in their
duty to the stockh olders. and not one has for a
minute shirked duty that has fallen upon him.
Our Board has been harmonious in every point
ana we have counciled together on all points of
interest and when we have erred, we have done
so as body, from lack of knowledge.
Now, in conclusion let me say, that no one re-
grets more than myselfthat our enterprise at the
end OF the first year shows a shortage, and that
there is not dividend, but with our factory as
well organized with good skilliul workmen as it
Is at present. with perfectly honest and reliable
manages, as Mr. Thompson; with the knowledge
Mr.. k1mbell has gained in the business in the
past year, and with the experience gained bv ALL
the future outlook today is so per cent better than
at any time since the first wheel was turned on
February L. 1898.
One word of praise to our boys and girls OF
Rising Sun who have so nobly stood by us. They
are each making from 81 to Sc per week, they are
all learning trade that will serve them through
life at good wages, and without exception they
are all doing good work. They are industrious
and they are satisfied and perfectly loyal, and if
nothing more has been done, you have been the
means of providing way for making good and
useful men and women who will always be able
to provide for themselves and families and will
be credit to The commu nifty, and hope to see
the day not far distant when each position in
the factory will be filed from our own people
and that the Rising Sun Shoe Factory will not
only be IA financial success, but will reflect great
c:eit to each and every stakeholder who invest
ed his money with the hope of improving the
community in which we live.

The New Voice.

The New York Voice, which has
been the leading national prohibi
ton paper for fifteen years, and has
battled through sunshine and
storm-mostly storm-for temper
ance and in opposition to the
saloon, is about to take another ad-
vanced step, and broaden its field
of operation, without, however
abating one iota its battle against
the liquor evil. At an outlay OIL
several thousand dollars the paper
will add new dep 4rtments compris.
ing the story of the lives of the
most prominent men of modern
times and other features that will
constitute the "New Voice" one Of
the most attractive family papers
published. Among other changes
and additions will be change OF
form and expensive change of dress.
The first number of "The New
Voice" will appear Dec. odd. A
bright future is anticipated for the

A Heavenly Panorama.

On Tuesday evening, the 9th
day of the current month, there
will occur in the heavens the most
remarkable panorama that the in
habitants of this world have ever
witnessed. AS the sun goes down
behind the hills of the golden West,
the moon will rise in its full beauty
above the hills of the silyery East j;
and soon thereafter old earth will
begin to draw dark veil over the
bright shining face of the moon and
all nature will be enshrouded in
darkness! No scene in fairy legend
will approach it in beauty! 1t will
attract more attention, and serious
thought, among the hundreds of
millions of human beings all over
the earth than any other similar
occurrence that has perhaps ever
before happened on any occasion
known to history. And the most
remarkable part of this wonderful
heavenly panorama is the fact that
it will be seen by all the people of
the earth, on both continents; and
that it is the anniversary evening
of John the Baptist, of biblical rec
ord :, the forerunner of Christ; and
the third evening after Christmas,
which is by many believed to be the
anniversary of Christ's birth. This
wonderful display of the power and
wisdom of our Creator will, we be-
lieve, be the means of making a
complete change in the present
theories of science and astronomy,
and prove to be the first heavenly
panorama or initiatory performance
of the millennium Prof. G. Coles,

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor ifyou cannot
get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits my be smaller on
a single sale they will be much greater in
the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly pass
judgment on them aud use only the better
one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally lake mp
some fashionable novelty put forth with
exaggerated claims, but are certain to re-
turn to the one remedy that they know to
be reliable, and for coughs, colds and
