An Ornament To Society.

/ Next TO the mother in.law,
the stepmothe and the widow,
it is the old maid who comes in
for the largest share of scorn
and sarcasm, and this is all the
more'mean that, nine times out
of ten, she is not responsible
for her position. The more
generous minded call her "un
claimed blessing" but many are
found, women among them,
who whisper Cat" And all
this is, perhaps, nothing COM
pared to ancient spinster."
l can not help thinking,
however, that feelings Of quite a
different nature ought to be
entertained toward the old
maid. If it is owing to her bad
looks or her poverty that her
hand has not been sought; if
she was once engaged to be
married, aud then Tilted and
disguised out of all idea of ever
marrying; if she has had offels
of marriage and has declined
them, she should be respected
for not having married a man
she could not love; if she was
once engaged and her lover
died, she should be admired for
wishing to remain faithful to
his memory; If she simply wish
ed to remain free and independ :
ent, and use her fortune as
many old maids do. in philan-
thlopic work, she should be
blessed; if she refused to accept
matrimdno as a means OF
livelihood hardest and most
thankless of alD, her example
should be followed. And, final
ly. if there do exist old maids
grabbed, sulky, peevish, selfish
and with all the other defects
that are generally, and most un'
generous attributed to old
maids, they should be thanked
by a grateful community fol
having spared men the risk Of
leading with them life o.
wretchedness and misery.-Ma2

mothers are keeping their
daughters out of the church, a t

conference, in session in Brook.
Ign, agreed in this explanation
given by the Rev. B. M. Adams
of Bethel, Conn, as a reason
for the falling off in the church
membership.
The special things which
attract men," said the Rev. Mr..
Adams, "are dancing and card
playing Methodist mothers
fear that if their daughters dc
not play euchre and dance they
will not get god husbands.
Hence girls are kept out Of
the church until they are mar,
ried and settled in life"
The conference applauded the
speaker. Quite as much inter

session when the conference re

PROSPEROUS FULTON.
The Eassern Part or the City Rapidly
Building Up.

The great change wrought by time IN
the East End becomes panty manifest
by the Fulton OF the present as contraS-
ted with Fulton of the past
This is what ore who followed plow
in The now well built up and beautiful
section of Fulton, says when he VISITS
an old friend whom he knew in the six
ties:
Fulton has its manufacturing industries
that employ more than $500 people. The
growth of Futon AS stated. has been
wonderful. Where the cornfields We're 70
years ago are now beautiful streets,
dwellings and places of business.
The growth Of Fulton is due to its
healthy condition, its cheap rents and its
large manufacturing plants. The Rich
mond Cedar Works gives employment to
about 1909 men, boys and girls. The
Mllhiser Manufacturing Company en-
pIoys SEQ hands the city Gas Works give
employment to 100 all the year around.
The vast number of brick manufactures
give employment to several hundred and
the six fertilizer plants employ over 800
men. The Wheel Works which, before
destruction by fire in the early part OF the
year. paid out monthly about $l4C0b to
skilled mechanics. who resided in Full
TON. There are many smaller industries,
such as the American Either Works.
the La.dlow Mackill Co, the different
steamship companies. the Thomas L.
Stage Planning Mills. the Armtage Manu-
featuring Company, give employment to
hundreds of men.
The rast year in Fulton has been sue
cessful Notwithstanding the destruction
of the Wheel Works.
The merchants have had the best year
in business they have had for some time
and the outlook for next year seems good.
The future of Fulton looks bright, as
compared with the past several years,
and u boom is anticipated for that flour
ishing section.
The present wants and necessities Of
Fulton are, more room to build up on
in order TO supply the wants of her cit!-
zens, which can easily be accomplished
by the incorpora ton of that part of Hen
rico embracing Fulton H:ll and surround
ings. and extending to the Government
Road Better school facilities both in
county and city; more sewerage, gas,
water and street improvements: a park
in order that her residents can have
some place of recreation and pleasure,
