4" Is Mr.. Fitzgerald going away"
Way Is II that SO many are anNiously
making the above inquiry? Ii is be-
cause Of the great benefit he has been to
himself and this community. The adup-
ton aud practice of correct theories of
business is what most benefits individ-
uals and communities. This town knows
To what causes its permanent prosperity
for the last 30 years is referable as well
as what have been its hindrances. Men
are quick to see and generally acknowl-
edge them. There is no wealth in mines
remaining underground or forests stand
ing idle. There is no progress in inertia
OF accomplishment in confusion and i'll
competency. But wealth is developed
from mines and forests and if it is done
10y well formed designs and systems that
are just to labor and those who furnish
the raw material, the operator can work
the double purpose of leaving as well as
taking up large gains in a community.
To take the raw material of the forests
away and manufacture it elsewhere gives
the locality from whence it is taken some
benefit, for growing trees are ornamental
only. Besides they do not contribute to
the goods, chattelS or estate of anybody
until cut and sold, and if they should re-
main standing for ever they would bene-
fit nobody and be only pleasing to the
eye of romantic fancy. But when the
benefit of manufacturing is retained in
the locality the benefits of converting
idle raw material into real active wealth
is quite apparent The benefit of devel-
oping the idle raw material of a locality
is not fully apparent on first view be-
cause the increase of the permanent pros
perity of "a town is gradual but incessant,
and like accretion is not observable from
day to day any more than the growth
OF farmers crops or cattle.
But look at our town 10 or - wears
ago and compare its prosperity and prog
resS then with now. Something has
caused it. OF course we must irnpute
its progress to the industrial movements
i'll it. In this line comes first the railroad
of course. We can calculate its contri-
buttons for we have always had it since
the town was.

GEO. II. FITZdERALD'S MILL.

What has given added prosperity to
the town is first our lumber manufac-
tory. This has never been properly esti-
mated because both its value and amount
have been so much moderated. Men
feel that the town is accommodating. 1t
looks more abundant and is expanding.
But they do not as rule study causes
carefully. At first blush it would seem
that the benefits that would remain from
the manufacture of what lumber is taken
off here would be small. But on the
contrary it is very considerable besides
the vast quantities of timber and lumber
manufactured in whole or in part which
Mr. Fitzgerald has brought in from Cam
ada and manufactured here is overlooked.
The benefits from the manufacture of
this class of lumber have come to our
community without any cost of raw ma
terial, or anything else, and is all net
gain. Take the number of men engaged
III the manufacture of that single class
of lumber and remove them with their
families to Canada where the raw mater
ial was produced and see how much it
would take out of the life of the town.
Some other country furnishes the raw
material that SunuOrtS Them

THE SHIRT FACTORY.

The same remarks apply to the Shirt
Factory. 1t costs the town nothing for
the material to run it. Its benefits to
the town are in such small but continue
Gus contributions that they are scarcely
perceptible to common observation But
a close observer will see large number
of homes formerly scarce of comforts and
pleasant things gradually filling with
the common comforts and elegancieS of
life. This is henefting the right class,
encouraging industry and supplying com
forts where they are needed and wanted.
Whether or not the town as a town will
get full returns for the money invested
in this enterprise has got to be a question
of minor Importance. For if it shall turn
ont that the town has put more into it in
dollars and cents than it will ever get out
Of it, it will find ample consideration for
every dollar expended in the increased
industry of the place, in homes made
comfortable, cheerful and happy, in the
improved appearance of the town, and i'll
the satisfaction of having put money
where it will do the most good. There
is nothing on Gods great bountiful earth
so satisfying to a human mind as to see
men having control of those bounties
using them to encourage the industrious,
deserving, and those of limited means to
get into conditions of thrift. and nothing
but mercenary mind will inquire, Twill
it cost us anVthinr?"

THE CREAMERY.

There is still ANOTHER industry here,
which although differing from the others
i'll some respects is of equal Importance,
the Creamery. We can all remember
the old fashioned methods of making
butter, how the wife CASUALLY it was)
was subjected to the most slavish toll
two or three days in the week. the house
hold disarranged and in many instances
the work of the men in the fields inter
rupted in the most busy seasons of the
year, and how hour after hour was spent
in churning, prolonged almost indefinite
ly by ignorance in seeking and applying
the right temperature or more usually by
not Through ignorance) paying any at
tention at all to it. Now the milk and
cream are taken out of the way and but
ter made to the best advantage. The
manufacturer watches the market and
gets the highest prices for it. In the
very nature of things our creamery must
take heavy load off the shoulders of
many housewife and one the like of
which hundreds of women have sank
down under.
Let us encourage all our industries
and warmly welcome more. We can be
happy and prosperous if we will, for God
made man for that purpose and man has
gone on inventing until he gets his bread
with very little "sweat of his brow" and

THE CANNING FACTORY.

OF the same nature and usefulness is
the Canning Factory also. A man comes
here. He does not touch the community
extensively at any point, grows in prob
ity and good repute, brings all his money
from without, pays it out and leaves it
here, takes from the town not a dollar of
resources or raw material, everything he
purchases being labor, and in short,
brings all his capital into this town and
leaves it here, and goes to'other places to
get the money he has invested here back.
Such men as we have mentioned ought
to be encouraged

The School Closing.

The closing exercises of the pub
lie school were held on Friday last
and were attended largely by pa
rents Of pupils and patrons of the
school Owing to the short term
this year the usual annual com
mencement held in the auditorium
was omitted, the shortness OF the
term preventing proper prepara-
ton by pupils for such an event.
Each class this year held its own
exercises individually, and each
pupil did his or her part well.
The high school girls presented
their teacher, Miss Skidmore, with
an elaborate box Of stationery, and
later on entertained ali the teachers
in the school with a coffee and

services and rendered some well
executed selections Of banjo music

1t was noticed that the attend
ance Of pupils in every classroom,

numbers Of attendance at closings
heretofore. This was remarkably
the case OF the high school class,
and is the result of the skill and
able management of the principal,
