With the factory running night and
iAv, the Paris Manufacturing Co. Is
turning away orders every day, from in I
ability 10 iii them. There never was
such a rush OF orders. And this not
outstanding the fact that on account OF
the sharp rise In both lumber and iron,
they have had TO advance prices twice
within a few weeks. The fortnightly l
payroll now amounts 10 about $500
quite tidy sum.
The Democrat had hopes that when /
he Maine Farmers Almanac arrived, |
We should learn something definite about
The duration OF the drouth; but the /
almanac il here. and there Is little prom
ise 10 H. We learn that we are 20 have /
snow and signs OF snow during January, |
and 4 little more snow with Wind about
The middle OF March, but nothing that |
will vet Us down in good shape Till
about the 10Th Of June, when we are
promised a rainy week. We shall dry |
Up aud blow away before that time.
There was = grange fair At West Minot
.ast Wednesday, and Marion Bessey |
thought he would drive his oxen down |
and spend the day. He reports that |
they used him well, were glad 20 see him,
gave him good dinner, and awarded |
hs oxen first, second and third pre-
NUNS Ia the working oxen, beef and
drawing classes. some OF his friends |
have been trying 20 persuade Mr.. bes-
sew, Who ia dyed-in-the~wool Demo- |
craft. that his good luck was due 20 the
Republican administration, but he re-
'uses 10 believe IL. Undoubtedly some
part OF his success IA due 20 the fact that
he had the only yoke OF cattle OF any de-
scription on the grounds.
The appearance OF the VI line Farmers
Almanac for 1900 IL a reminder that the
lsst year OF the nineteenth century u but
a few weeks distant. IL Is about time,
OF course, for the old controversy to
break out and rsge, and some will
vehemently insist that the year 1900 IA
the first year of the twentieth century
But now see here: The first year was
the wear 1, wasn't Il: and when the year
I ~ss finished the world had passed
through one year OF the Christian Era,
hadn't Il? And the hundredth year WAS
the wear 100, and when that year was
finished. one hundred yesrs-the first
century-of the era had been completed
so the year 100 belongs in the first cent
urv, and the year 200 in the second cent
urv, and so on, until the year lsOO De-
longs in the nineteenth century. Isn't
that clearer than muds
