Newspaperdom recently printed a pa
per read before the Georgia Weekly
Press Association by H. M. Stanley Of
Dublin, Ca, Courier-Dispatch. The
subject was "How You Can Win with a
Weekly" but the Introduction has a
wider application, and we quote from it
as follows:
1t has been said, and it is probably true,
that no town can prosper unless that
town has realized the necessity of in
dustrial growth and has inaugurated a
systematic scheme for reaching out
after new enterprises and fostering
those it now possesses. In this age of
progress, towns must hustle for bust
ness as well as individuals, and that
town which does not do this is dead
town and remains unburied solely for
the reason that money is scarce and
funerals are expensive. No town, dis
trict, county or State can simply hold
its own. 1t must advance or retro
grade; it must take on new life con-
tinually or be Slapped of its existence.
No town or county can prosper if peO-
pied with malcontents or with those
who are satisfied with life. A contented
man is not useful citizen in any COM
munity, for contentment means stagna-
ton. No person can be satisfied with
what he is and prosper, neither can a
town prosper if the people are satisfied
with existing conditions. 1t is usually
the case that those who are contented
with life are people without the energy
or ability to get in the forefront of
progress and stay there; people without
moral courage and who lack most of
the essentials which 60 to make good
citizen.
There is no word in the English Ian
guage which meaus so much to town
as that one little word, progress" and
nothing indicates progress so much as
the industrial enterprises a town has.
Likewise, lack of Industrial develop
ment indicates lack of public spirit,
or rather the absence of an effort on the
part of the inhabitants of town to
improve industrially indicates such, for
often will the best directed efforts of
the most tireless promoter of indus
trial enterprises come to naught. In
fact, fortunate indeed are, the people of
any town who succeed in capturing one
enterprise in every ten among those
seeking new locations.

E. M. c. Seminary, Bucksport.

Prof and Mrs. Ward are spending Christ
mas at Cherryfeld, Maine.
Professors Ellingwood and Cooper recent
ly received offers of excellent positions in

The Eastern Maine Conference seminary
at Bucksport is just rounding the half
century mark in its existence. Founded in
1851 it has seen many similar institutions
perish during its so years of life, and has
passed through many dark days itself and
some of them very recently. Thousands Of
boys and girls, at the clang of the old bell
in the chapel, have climbed the hill and
entered the recitation rooms with palpitat-
ing hearts. Students have come and gone,
instructors arrived and departed, but the
bell has continued to call to recitation and
the institution to educate young people and
to better equip them for their battle with
the wOrld.-Bangor Commercial.
The writer was among the earliest
students 1859 and has most pleasant
recollections of the faculty of that time.

Oh, how welcome those three home
letters were; and how eagerly they were
read and the smallest details discussed,
and bits Of news exchanged. Every
one was so absorbed in his or her own
particular and special missives that
we did not realize that it was eight
o'clock and that the late dinner-a full
dress affair at the Russell-was in prog
ress. Reluctantly, the little group
around the lucky possessors of the
Journals" who were dealing meagre
scraps of news to the eager ears
awaiting them, tore themselves away
at the mention of grub" No one who
has been in a. foreign country for three
weeks without news from home can
realize what a joy it is to get tidings
from their own small town. In London,
the great city of splendor and squalor,
of mirth and sadness, of riches and
poverty, the first thought of the five
Belfasters was-home. The famil-
lar names were read over with great
care; and feeling almost as if we had
spent a few minutes in Post Office
square we started out for the Holborn
restaurant-not far from the Russell
with the precious letters and papers
clasped tight under our arms. The
streets were comparatively quiet, until
we arrived at High Holborn, when the
usual crowd, denser than usual, possibly,
as it was Saturday night, made walking
rather unpleasant. We soon entered
the spacious lobby of the restaurant,
and were directed to the grill room,
where we had very nicely cooked
meal, la Carte After dinner, a walk
was suggested, and we made our way
through the throng to Picadilly circus
On one of the most crowded thorough
fares an urchin beside us shouted deri-
sively Yankee mans, Yankee mans, ;"
but was promptly hushed by little
girl, somewhat older than himself, who
threatened him with dire punishment
if he didn't ''shut up" At Picadilly
circus we took bus, and, choosing the
seats on top, drove back to the Russell,
where we were glad enough to retire
for good nights rest. NJ. d. p.

We have in Belfast splendidly equip
ped shoe factory which only needs leath-
er and capital to set its machinery in
motion. 1t is situated near the railway
station and the wharves, and there is
d regular line of steamers to Boston at
all seasons of the year. There has
grown up with the business class of
employees second to none in New Eng
land. either as workmen or as citizens,
ADD although many have gone elsewhere
Tor employment the reopening of the
factory would bring them all home
The journal is often asked why, in a
time OF great prosperity in the shoe
trade, this factory is allowed to remain
idle; whether anything is being done to
secure the establishment of an in
dustry which meant so much to Bel
East? We cannot answer these ques-

expect, a through express, corridor
train. The time passed wonderfully
fast, as we had an obliging guard, a
comfortable compartment, and pleas
ant memories and anticipations to oc-
cupy our minds. 1t was with strange
sensation that we realized we were
nearing London-the largest city in the
world. We arrived about half an hour
late, as usual, and alighted from the
train at Kings Cross Station with a
little thrill Of delight. Soon bus
was secured and we drove through
street after street, the lamps shining
dimly in tie mist, and only family out
lining the towering buildings behind
them. Whizzing around a corner, we
drew up at the entrance to the Russell
Hotel, through whose open door we
caught fascinating glimpses of charm
ing interior. Three blue-coated and
brass -buttoned-a and braided individuals
assisted US to alight, took charge of our
luggage, and ushered us into the spa
cious hall, where still another uniform
ed official assigned our rooms, a fifth
marked our luggage, and we procured
our keys of the sixth at the desk. At
the doors of the twin elevators we
were confronted by two more atten-
dants, and still another appeared with
our trunks-sent on from Liverpool
and our dress suit cases, grips" etc.
The party all had rooms on the same
floor, the sixth, and ours had delight
full outlook upon Russell square, tiny
! park, now closed to the public; and not
! far away we could see the dark and
, massive buildings of the British Muse
UNI. Not much time was spent on

our somewhat disheveled persons we
