There is room in Petersburg for a canning factory, a hoop factory, stave and heading factory, a foundry and machine shop, or any other kind of an institution.

As spring approaches so the time for the business man who desires to catch the trade should plant his advertisement in the newspspers of his city.

Aficr a musical selection by Hisgen’s orchestra, the master of ceremonies Introduced Rev. Dr. Bain, pastor of the M.

And thus closed the twenty-ninth annual anniversary of the founding of the lodge of the Knights of Pythias. REV. DR BAIN S ADDRESS. Gentlemen and Ladles: This la the third occasion of this nature to which I have had the treat p'eanuro to respond since my coming among you. The wife and children hove been In glee during the day In anticipa tion of t he pleasures of theevening Fraternity is not the mere assemblage of bodies; else a herd of pigs would be a fraternity. It Is a brotherhood of soulf=a mingling of kludied spirits There are thousands who live In elose persona] proxtmtty, they dwell beneath the same roof, they live on the same diet, they eat on the same table, they are educated In the same schools, they follow the same profession; but between whose better natures there is scarcely a point of contact whose thoughts anr Impulses are as remote as the poles, and whose tendencies art as op poslle as If they were of different blood. Fraternity Is kindred of spirit. There are those separated by oceans, mountains and continents and enjoy a fellowship of the highest order. Fraternity Is expedient. The good Lord might have said of man, “It is not good” far man to be alone otherwise than In reference to bis matrimonial alliance. Onr brotherhood Is like a collection of sticks, whereby one kindles another. I admit that a solitary man, a man standing singly and alone may have fewer temptations to evil Justus we notice that a boy In school has his opportunities to team mischief greatly Increased. But while this Is true a lone man has fewer luoitattons to good Then, whut must I conclude? This, that as doing good to bette- than not doing evil—that as a positive man 1* better than a would-be negative one, so a brotherhood Is belter than a hermitage. Homan can, like the hibernating bear, seclule himself and be what lie should. I have nerd of contact with my fetlows, because nitron sharpenetii Iron, 1 must be thrown In aimoi g them or else 1 am stupid and dnll.
