The Small Industry.

From The Rome Ga. Tribune.
The small industry not only
builds itself up, but builds up
the town or city in which it is
located, Thus it does a double
duty and is a double blessing.
We know of Il knitting mill
begun with four or five ma
chimes and Il capital Of only a
few thousand dollars which has
in six or seven years grown to
500, ZOO plant. 1t is paying
a handsome dividend on the
money invested. Take the

is giving employment to some
twenty or thirty girls, women
and men, and from the success
attending the enterprise the
number of hands will soon have

will not be long before the
number will be doubled.

this campaign for diversified

Congressman Loudie, of Indi.
ana, told the Chicago bankers
last Saturday that they and all
of their kind would be COMPEL
ed to face the proposition of an
income tax. This sentiment is
growing, and. like all others
that are right, will eventually
prevail. There is no justifia BILE
argument against it. 1t is the
only fair means of preventing
the inordinate accumulation OF
wealth in the hands of a few. -

There IS not Jung man in
with perhaps one or two ex-
ceptions who visits the saloon and
none of them smoke cigarettes that
the board of education knows of;
all of them have sweethearts and
are entitled TO them, because they
are a manly set of fellows.
Why does not some good pious
brother who knows of all the dens
of infamy of which we have heard
in the last few days, point them out
to the marshal or furnish the ne
cessary information leading to an
investigation? We opine that the
municipal as we'll as the State au-
thorities would be glad of the infor-

THE RIGHT IDEA.

Two farmers were not long ago
discussing The CHRONICLE. One
thought it had too many advertise
ments. The other replied;
"In my opinion the advertise.
ments are far from being the least
valuable part Of a paper. I look
over them carefully and save at
least five times the cost Of the pa
per each month by the information
and advantage l get from them"
Said the other: "Come to think
of it, I believe you are right. l
know that they pay ne well, and I
am inclined to think now that it is
not good taste to find fault with the
advertisements of paper"
These men have the right idea OF
the matter. 1t pays a man with q
family to take his home paper for
the sake of the benefits he gets
from the advertisements if nothing
more. And when business men
fail to give the farmers chance tc
read their advertisements in THH
CHRONICLE they are blind to then
own interests, to say the least of it

WHAT A CHRISTIAN Is.

Christian Leaderl
To be a christian means to pos
sess aud to be possessed by the
spirit of Jesus, and there are many
who have this spirit who never
make any conventional profession
of it, but who by the Christlike-
ness of their lives indicate its pres
ence and its power. They may be
profoundly ignorant of the CON-
plexities of theology, may even de-
ny the details of many of the doc
trines of the church and modestly
hesitate to define the nature of God
and Christ, yet by the honesty,
sweetness, gentleness, purity and
trustfulness of their lives reveal
the gracious power that animates
them. Such are christians and
should be welcomed in the church

trouble, if not the ordinary apollo

stroy many an excuse for going out

CAMDEN might profit by adopt
ing precautions similar to those
taken by Dickson. The city coun-
ell of Dickson recently passed an
ordinance establishing what would
be termed a "ire district, " covering
the principal business portion of
the town. The object of the ordi-
nance is to restrict all builders,
hereafter, in the territory provided
for. to such specifications in mate
rial and construction of building as
.4be council may, in its discretion,
see fit to grant. Some such regu-
lations are essential to the safety
of property owners of the town, and
recent fires at Dickson have prl-
marily influenced the city council
to establish fire district.

Camden has the best school ever

young men are sober, moral and
intelligent. The young ladies are
what they ought to be and when we
say this we pay them higher trib-

The Eastern Stars.

The order of Eastern Star, of
this city, met Tuesday night in
regular meeting and to entertain
Mrs. Jessie Vert, of Pendleton,
who is Worthy Grand Matron.
Mrs. Vert is on a tour of inspec-
ton, and while here witnessed the
manner in which the Stars of
Corvallis cid their ritualistic
work. From what has always
been said of the work of the
local Stars in the past, it goes
without saying that she found
everything satisfactory. After
the secret work was over the
evening was devoted to social
conversation and music, vocal
and instrumental. During the
evening the Ladies Mandolin
and Guitar Club played couple
of very nice selections, to the en-
joynent of those present. A
delicious banquet was given just
before the close of the meeting,
much to the appreciation of all.
Mrs. Vert went from here to
Southern Oregon, where she will
continue her work as Worthy
Grand -.iatron.
