Growth OF the slate Industry-The Pres.

1t is now just 60 years GS3D since the
hrst quarrying was done by col Alanson

years in its development in 1Si5 he engaged
more or less extensively I'm the manutac-
turc of school stales, ana two years later
IN lSlb he began 10 manufacture roofing

iacture of school states was abandoned.

quarry not far from the old liasle quarry.

Inc first slate quarry opeued in Poult.

BENSON.
The body of Will Hanfeld son of Lewis
Hanfield of Bangall was found in a brook
which runs near the Hanfied residence
Friday a. 10 a. m. The cause of his death
Is supposed to have been accidental
drowning in two feet of water. Will had
been unwell for several days, had helped
milk the cows as usual and driving them
to pasture. On his return home 1t is
thought he was taken with a fit or faint
ing spell while near the stream and fell
into the water. Only one bruise was found
on his head which accounts for the fall on
rocks which line the stream. The boy
had been gone from home four hours
when found by Ralph Brown He was IL
years of age and was the second son OF
Lewis Hanfeld. Funeral services were

yield IS poorer than FOR many years. i'm
fact. the Yield is so small that it has be-
come a joke-one farmer laughing at
another on account of his almost entire
failure: but really It is serious matter
when after a years labor one realizes
much les than his investment
In large number OF instances. the

a dollar or more per bushcl. Notwith-
standing the wheat failure uuprooitious
seasons Oill roCentlyD and o. continued
scarcity Of money the people are gem
orally far more hopeful and in better
spirits than they were two years ago.
We hear but little about hard times.
the times are sim hard with many. but
there Is feeling pervadng the people
that the country is in state of pros
pcrity and that this section must be
benefited by the prosperity which s be-
coming general.
The sales OF the small products Of the
farm such as poultry. eggs potatoes,
&c. have been very satisfactory for some
months. and aided materially in making
money easier.
The senatorial question has as yet been
but little discussed. and so far sentiment
seems TO be equally divided between Tyler
and Martin.

recognized candidate for the House of

for Tyler. a nominating convention Will
probably decide between the TWO.
