A Relic Of Colonial Days in the Posses
sion Of Albert Stoner Of this Place.

sion Of Albert Stoner OF this Place.
When Merrick A. Stoner, of
Bedford was visit ng here few
days ago, he gave his brother
Albert q seven dollar bill ISSUED
by resolution Of Congress MOI e
than one hundred and twenty nine
wears ago. The bill, which Is ln
fairly good state of preservation.
is 24x34 inches. On the face is
printed mo. 654S3. Seven Dol
lars. This bill entities the Bear
er to receive SF'VEN Spanish
milled DOLLARS, or the value
thereof IN Gold or Silver, accord
ing to resolution passed by
CONGRESS at Philadelphia, Sep
tember 26th, 1716. The bill
bears the signatures in red Ink,
of N. DonneIl and j. Snowden.
On the back of the bill, we learn
that it was printed by HALL
and SELLERS IN 1878.
AS his Fulton county friends
know, Merrick is first class
furniture maker, and carries on
a good shop in Bedford. Some
time ago, one OF the old families
of that old town, brought an an.
clent pieceof furniture to Mr.
Stoner's shop, with the request
to "do it over" In this piece of
furniture Merrlck discovered a
secret drawer, which upon beng
opened, contained several hun
dred dollars IN Continental cur
rency, the bill gwen to Albert be-
ing a sample. OF course, the
money is not worth continent
al, now, but 1t is interesting for
Its historical association.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.
Held This Year In Buck Valley, and at
Warfordsburg. November lSih.zlst.

Wdri0r0sburg. november lSihsLtst.
The farmers of this county
should be interested to learn that
the annual Farmers Institutes
will be held this year at va, foris
burg, and in Buck Valley. They
will be held IN the Valley on Mon.
day and Tuesday, November l8ih
and 10Th, and ut Warfords burg,
on Wednesday and Thursday,
20th and 2lst.
A nun Der Of instructors from
other parts of the State, will be
present to join with the far mers
OF this loo sllty in the discussion
of topics relative to agriculture.
These meetings are free and op
en- to all, aud wephave no doubt
the farmers of this county will
avail them selves of the advantag-
es to be gained by attending these
meetings.
Only those f.rmers f who attend
these meetings. from year to year
know how much the farmers miss
who do not attend them. Que Of
the best evidences of their value
is, that those who once attend do
not need any urging to attend the
meetings afterward. Then, they
are free, too. While it is true
that every farmer through the
payment of his taxes, helps to
pay the expense Of holding these
institutes, he pays nothing furth-
er, and If he does not attend upon
the instruction when it is thus
brought to his door, he shows by
his action, that he does not know
a good thing when he sees it.

The following description OF a

PROPOSED ENTERPRISE.
Opportunity for McconueIIsburg 10 Have
New Industry That Would Afford
Employment for Many Girls and
Women.
up TO OUR HOME PEOPLE TO DECIDE

and II. w. Byron, of MERGERS
burg, two prominent and sub
stantial business men, who made
request that the business men
of this place assemble at the @ ,m
missioner's office IN the Court
House at III o'clock, stating that
they had an important PROPOSE
tion to submit. At the time men
toned, the Conn missioners Office
was we'll filed with the repre-
sentative business men of this
place, and the proposition sub
mitted was practically as follows:
Messrs. Bower and Byron in
tend to erect factory IN some
available town for the manufac-
tureof light artlcles, such as caps,
sLirts, &C., which would give EN-.
ployment to not less than fifty
girls and women, and to as many
more as would want employment
to the number of five or SIX hun
dred. The skill required in the
operator is just what Is possessed
by any one who Is able to handle
a needle or run sewing machine.
The rooms IN which the operators
would have to work, would be
clean, we'll lighted, and in cool
weather, comfortably heated,
with every convenience for the
best sanitary conditions-in fact,
the work rooms will be verltable
sewing parlors, and the girls and
women will be as tidy and neat as
though employed IN an up-to date
millinery establishment.
Those gentlemen stated furth.
er that they had several towns in
view, aud that some of them were
very anxious to secure the loca.
tion OF the plant; but, as far as
they were concerned, there were
reasons why they would like to
give McConnellsburg an oppor.
tunity to secure the enterprise
the priocipal one being, that they
want large number of girls and
women, and they thought that
more might be secured here than
in towns whore there are more
opportunities for employment.
How much will these OF orators
be able to earn a week, was asked?
O well, that depends. They
will work on piece work, and the
more industrious and skillful will
earn more than the listless and
idle. Ordinary operators soon
earn anywhere from four to nine
or ten dollars a week.
Some one in the crowd, who
was handy with pencil. found
that a hundred girls averaging
even six dollars a week, would
mean distribution In the town
OF over thirty Thousand dollars a
year, and, of course, twice that
many girls would mean twice that
much money-and so on. The
gentlemen making the PROPOSE
ton said there was practically nc
init to the number Of girls thai
could get employment.
In addition to an assurance
that the necessary help could be
secured, Messrs Byron and Bow
er stated, that. inasmuch as ar
enterprise Of the kind proposed
would be Of great benefit to the
town and surrounding communl
W, IL was only fair that the clti
zsns should show their interes
and good will by donating grount
sufficient for site for the plant

readily assented, and committe,

ruling as to how this water should

here or those In Tacoma.
Since the transfer was made water

ranchers VINO have been supplied
need not fear that the supply will be
discontinued In the future, as the
only change that could possibly be
made is In the office which handle Il.
There is no other means for the
ranchers in this district to get water
