(Not much of a Prophet-Ed.)

A Waning City.-Only few years
ago the city of Stevens Point was one
of the most fiourishing and prosper
Gus cities of Northern Wisconsin.
Grand Rapids, one of the oldest lum-
bering towns on the river, was then
already on the wane. Now, Grand
Rapids is dead, unworthy to be called
a city, and Stevens Point is dying. Its
manufactures are still there, but its
streets are deserted, its buildings are
old and dilapidated and it's business
enterprise is gone. Year after year it
will struggle on, but it must lose
ground with every coming year. 1t
has been shorn of its strength by its
city, Wausau. A few years ago these
two cities were rivals; they are rivals
no longer Wausau with gigantic
strides has come to the front and will
soon reach the height of its prosperity.
1t too, must go. Gradually, but
surely, the lumber manufactures are
pushing their way further up into
the pineries. Already our fiourishing
little city has become its rival. Wau-
sau must go neXt.-Merrill News.

The factory and buildings to be
erected by Curtis Bros. & Co., bid fair
to be much more pretentions than
was at first supposed. The factory
proper will be 8OxlOO feet, three stor-
les high, with engine room 4Ox4O feet
with a wing 20x20 feet. The store
rooms and sales rooms will be in
separate building, 8OxSO feet, three
stories high and all covered with iron,
so as to be safe and secure against
fire. The foundation to the latter
building is already laid and carpenters
are busy at work on the frame.
Material for the factory building is
being gotten out and the whole work
will be driven as fast as possible and
completed within three months. The
work is under the immediate super
vision of Mr.. j. f. Anderson, of
Clinton, Ia, whom we are assured is
competent and skillful mechanic of
large experience.

Excellent Speakers, July 1925.

The Ministerial Alliance of Denver,

lance, after a thorough investigation
of the case of ]. w. Jones, have de-
cided that his is worthy cause for
the charity and assistance of all col
ored men and women. 1t appears
that in self defense he killed another
man. He was tried and sentenced. to
hang Dec. 15, 1914. Ex-Gov. Ammons
reprieved him until May, 1915. We
must raise 5000 to get his case to
the Supreme court before that time.
Jones is without friends, has no mon
ey and faces death. We believe the
Supreme court will rule in his favor.
We must raise 5000. We appeal to
you. Act at once. Send your dona-
tions to Titus S. Rector, 2716 Welton

The Glastonbury thorn in Trinity
churchyard. New York, disappointed
its friends again this year by failing
to put forth the white buttercup"
blossoms with which it never fails IN
England to greet January Z, Christ
mas day according to the old time cal
endar. But those who went to the
churchyard yesterday and the day be-
fore to see how the thorn was getting
along were pleased to see that it had
responded to the day that spring
filched from winter on January Z, and
although lacking bloom gave signs of
sturdy life
The thorn was brought from the an
cient Benedictine Abbey In Somerset
shire year ago last fall and planted
under the personal direction of the
Rev. DR.. w. T. Manning, rector of
Trinity. 1t is a sprig of the original
Glastonbury thorn, which legend says
was an offshoot of the STAFF of St
Joseph of Arimathea.
1t had been feared that the thorn,
which is not large. would not live, but
It is vigorous in its second New York

Christmas blossoms another year.
