The standing of the church in the community has greatly improved during his psstorste and he stands high in the confidence and esteem of the peo- pie. The Carew street church of Spring field has been in existence,,a about 10 years.

The many friends of Mir Wedge wish him success in this new field.- Examiner.

oNE rHENe wArERrowN NEEDS.

One of the things that Watertown stands badly in need of is factory which
 will employ men. At present the em-
 ployes of all three factories are for the
 most part girls, the work being of such a
 nature that girls are fully competent to do it. This makes the town decidedly 8
 girls town. Now, we do not find fault
 with the girls; in fact, we don't want to close single factory of those that are here at present, and no objections are offered to more coming. What we do
 want is factory which will employ a
 few men In addition to the number of girls we.have st present. This would be an advantage not only to the town, but
 1t would also be boon to the gentler
 sex, as 1t would give them larger field
 from which to choose in case any of them decided to enter the matrimonial market.
 Taken altogether the advantages Of hav- ing g factory here which would employ, say 500 or 500 men, are too numerous to
 mention. Why can't our prominent citi- gems get together, form board of trade
 and make 1t worth while for some good, 1 live manufacturing concern to locate here? The facilities which small towns { like Watertown have Tor manufacturin3 purposes are such as to commend them
 to those who are on the lookout for place to locate. Watertown affords many
 advantages In this line, notably la Easyly
