If you want to know about the weather and
have lost faith in Old Probabilities ask veteran
seafarer. Sometimes it may be falling ba-
remeter, but oftener it is intuition that prompts
she Maine skipper to close reef and stand off
shore, or to fill away and for snug har-
Dor under the lee. We were reminded of this
when coming up Main street last Friday after
noon Meeting John McAuliff, he said in pass
ng, "going to be rough night" little far
her on Capt. Abner G. Gilmore was met and
ne remarked: big storm coming Sure
enough, there was a rough night and big
storm, disastrous elsewhere, but with little
damage hereabouts.
An organization to be known as the Twenty
Five Association, and to be incorporated under

here. The plan is for each of the 25 to pay in
500 per year, by paying 81 week and at the
end of every five weeks a stock certificate,
par value, of $40 will be issued At the end of
the year 81, 500 will have been paid in and this
money will be invested in buying and selling
real estate, and building houses to sell or rent
This plan is to run in four series, covering
four years, making a working capital of $1O,-
OCO. Fourteen of the rs parties have already
been secured. Louis Goldberg is the promoter

The issue of the Tribune Farmer for Dec
18th announces the sale of that paper to be
merged with the Rural New Yorker, sub
scribers to the Tribune Farmer to receive the
Rural New Yorker until the expiration of their
subscriptions. Although we have had a club
bling arrangement with the Tribune Farmer
for many years the publishers have sent US no
notice of the change, and we cannot say at
this writing whether the clubbing arrange
ments will be continued by the Rural New
Yorker. The Tribune Farmer succeeded the
Weekly Tribune, which in the days of Horace
Greeley was the most influential newspaper in
this country and we doubt if there is weekly
published today that approaches it in this re !
spect.
