A BOARD OF TRADE.
Senator Pierce Strongly Urges immediate
Action

Senator Pierce Strongly Urges immediate
Action.
Where is Brattleboro's board OF trade?
While other towns in the state are doing
good work in many ways through
their well organized boards OF trade.
Brattleboro is silent on this subject. 1
believe a well organized board OF trade
in Brattleboro can accomplish much in the
way OF increasing the business and manu-
featuring interests Of the town which
would mean a mutual and lasting bene-
fit to its citizens.
One reason, perhaps why we have fall
ed to make our past boards OF trade
more successful mas been the want of
sufficient funds to carry on the work and
n lack of thorough knowledge Just how
to proceed to enable US 10 secure new
Industries Can we not now start new
on a better business basis? We should
have a substantial fund IA our treasury
to work from. Are therlnot 50 men in
Brattleboro that would subscribe $40, 80
that would subscribe $40 and so more that
would subscribe IS each annually for
such a purpose. the sum subscribed to
be known as the investment fund OF the
association and the same TO be used at
any time by vote OF the association.
for the purpose Of helping to bring new
Industries into the town or TO start some
OF our own? Is there any way we can in
vest our money to better advantage?
The increase of our manufacturing in
dustries would give an impetus to all
the business interests. enchance the value
OF our property, make more work for the
laboring classes, and add materially in
many ways to the healthy growth OF the
town.
We are not unmindful OF the fact that
through the influence OF several OF the
public spirited men Of Brattleboro we
have been able to secure from time to
time new industries, and great credit
should be given them for their efforts in
this direction. but we believe that greater
results can be accomplished through a
well organized board OF trade. II Brat
tleboro expects to take on any material
growth or make any great advancement
along its industrial lines, It will have to
be done through the energetic efforts OF
its citizens.
A we'll organized board of trade can
make itself useful in various other ways
Questions OF public interest that arise
from time to time can be shaped and
materialized through the well directed
efforts OF such an organization.
Can We afford to live one day without
IL? Let us organize at once.

An Apostles Funeral.

month ago the death Of Mariner w.
Merrill, an apostle" OF the Mormon
church was announced as having oc-
CURED at his home in Richmond. Utah,
with the accompanying statement that he
was survived by eight wives. a. children.
14o grandchildren. and great gandchild-
rem enough to bring his posterity up to
the two hundred mark. But to get the
real impression OF this bereaving event
its local coloring. as it were-one needs
TO read the account Of the funeral OF this
prolific patriarch as it was given In the
Utah papers-this from a despatch to the
Salt Lake Tribune, for instance, printed
under big display heading:
THE funeral services over the remains
of the late Apostle NJ w. Merrill occurred
at Richmond at 1890 this morning. The
services were held in the new tabernacle,
the audience filling all available space,
many compelled TO remain on the out
side in the snow.
THE most imposing and impressive
spectacle, and which attracted the atten-
ton of all, was the large family of wives,
children. grandchildren and great grand
children conspicuously assembled at the
front and grouped about the platform and
.urrounded by near relatives and sympa-
thizers, reaching back well into the body
OF the house.
1.-THE casket was placed just under the
platform, with large floral design, sur
mounted by a white dove at the head,
above and back of which was a large por-
trait OF the deceased. on either side OF
the casiSet were commodious rockers for
the accommodation OF the wives, four be-
ing placed on either side Of the casket."
We are not told whether these eight
commodious rocking chairs swayed with
grief as the services proceeded, but we
are informed that, as a part OF the fu-
neral exercises several of the surviving
apostles bore witness to the godliness and
righ standing of the dead saint in Israel
Apostle Penrose, the account says,
"called Merrill one Of the stalwarts of
Israel in evidence OF which he pointed
to his large family, great influence, and
prominence in the councils Of the church."
Apostle Beers eytolled Apostle MerrilIs
high virtue" pointing with pride to so
large a family and exhorting the young
people to emulate the example OF their
noble sire, and to cap the climax and
make sure of the moral and spiritual
lessons Of this solemn occasion, Apostle
Lyman affirmed that no one but Jesus
lived a perfect life, yet Merrill had come
as near to this as any man who ever
livedv
These quotations are taken literally
from the Utah newspapers account. 1t
may be noted, moreover, that Apostle
Merrill hadn't been simply fulfilling
marital obligations incurred before Utah
was admitted as a state under a solemn
pledge that plural marriages should
cease, for this same paper says that two
Of his eight wives had been taken in
recent years." and that by "the latest.
Hilda Erickson, residing here on Temple
square" he had daughter two years old.
1t doesn't require whole lot OF COM
ment to point the moral to such a tale
Of modern Mormonism.
