Ou Thursday Julius Martini, of Hamlet, was in town interviewing a number of our citizens regarding the establishment of a canning factory in this place. Mr. Martini hits been a resident of Hamlet for a number of years where he has been engaged a considerable portion of the lime in niltivating garden truck for the city narket. He has been a gardener since boyhood and also understands he canning business from top to Holtom, pmctieully and theoretically, u«vm w had nnipm experience and being well versed in chemistry. Mr. Martini has been making arrangements to start a canning factory at Hamlet, but he would prefer to come here if he can get enough encouragement from the town to justify him in making the move. He asks for a donation of SSOO and wants our citizens to take stock to the amount of $1,500. In case this is complied with he agrees to have the factory ready for business by the first of July. He says that he would employ at least twenty hands in the factory from the start and this would gradually be increased. He would keep the factory going the year round, and would finally add a vinegar manufactory and mustard mill to the plant. He says the soil around Walkerton is remarkably well adapted to the cultivation of such vegetables as lie would use in tire canning industry, among them being tomatoes, cauliflower, cabbage, onions, sweet peas, string beans, sage, horseradish and sweet marjoram. Taking into consideration the adaptability of our soil for the produc tion of a large variety of vegetables, a canning factory, it would seem, would be an industry of vast benefit to the town and surrounding country, an industry the possibilities of which would seem to be almost unlimited, diversifyground a little farm by itself, and thus l?e a great help to people of small means. It is evident that no manufacturing industry would come nearer meeting the indications of Walkerton at present than a canning factory. Mr. Martini's proposition may be worthy of a careful investigation ami thorough consideration, and if there is anything in it we should not let it slip through our lingers. A meeting of the citizens for a discussion of the matter has been called for next Thursday evening. Huy your corn of the Walkerton Milling Co.

Gillette preached from the topic, “Randall's Army.” The preacher spoke of bodies of men aggregated to gethor traveling over the country uh something now in this country, but not new in the history of the world. David before ho became king of Israel gathered around him six hundred men nnd traveled over Palestine and demanded their sustenance from the people along the road which they traveled. k The speaker instanced other migratory bunds who had passed over the diflerent countiies in a similar manner. In this at the present time Rev. Gil letb saw dangers Unit might arise— I dangers to the communities through which they passed and possibly dun- I g«r to tho nation. Therefore the dis I ferent communities had a right to forbid their passage, so aRo the different towns ami cities. The public good was urged as against ^dividual rights. They might have •n intrinsic right to their march, but If it interfered with the public good they should be and could bo forbidden Hie exorcise of such intrinsic individual rights. Furlhermoro those armies are com posed of unreliable and irresponsible men, hence they could not be allowed to jeopardize communities. The speaker than passed on to show that social reformations were probable and necessary. The great improvements in maebinvry. both farm and factory machinery,dispensed with twothirds of the man help formerly employed, hence the workmen were groat of tho work. Ue thought that the hours of labor would .L ’ t. dac.J in number to riw nil ail. o. <, thoughC t!><> state »h uid top in and give em pl >ymi nt to ;Jb> w i kmvu t tide over »eiisons of u. prv- Jou.
