NEW FACTORY.

Steps are now being taken by Geo. L..
Smith to establish factory in this city
for the manufacture of cement blocks
for building purposes. MIR. Smith has
the contract for the building of the nj !.
+. church, he is an able man and now
has in his employ about 100 men. He
is general contractor aud will be able
to place all the material that his plant
can turn out which will be $4,000 blocks
annually. The building of the M. f.
church of this city, requires about 10000
blocks so it will be seen that the plant
will require a good many men to do
the work. In the manufacture of the
cement blocks the white quartzite from
Rib hill will be used Mr. Smith will
petition the city council at its next
meeting for enough ground on which
to place its plant AS this institution
will be an excellent thing for the city,
the ground certainly could not be
put to any better use.

cub, had never lost his liking for ca

beast in TIE collection, was least Su5-

a striped i.yena hung to the ankle Of
his friend, he had run to the rescue.
and cut loose right and left with his
ponderous fore paws. and had bitten
and torn and mangled the ugly beast
to death before he could be beat"r

that of turning admirably grotesque
somersaults and the moro difficult feat

Largely Attended.

The special services at the Christian
church yesterday, both morning and
evening, were largely attended, and
proved very entertaining. The SER
vices marked the conclusion of the
first years passionate of Rev. L d.
Anderson, and we're especially COM
plimentary to this popular young pas
tor. No pastor ever enjoyed greater
esteem and love than does Rev. An
derson. He is not only a splendid
preacher, but good, strong christian
man. We are glad his relation here
with his church and the christian COM
munity generally is so cordial.
