DOUBLING ITS OUTPUT.
An industry that doubles its output
in a year is a progressive one and
such is ilio record of the Knitting

market twice as much goods as in
the previous year and though its.
capacity is now tared to the utmost
with a full. completment of hands,
there are orders on hand that will
alone keep the mill busy until near
June. There are eighty people on the
pay roll and new machines are being
ordered that necessitate further ad-
dit'
tons.

WESLEY CITURCII,
Rev. Mr, Joliiffe on Sunday morn-
ing last preached one of the best
sermons of. his pastorate of Wesley ;
taking for his' subject "'In What Shall
Man Glory ?" Much interest is be-
ing shown in the series of sermons
which he is now preaching on the
"Life of Jacob."
Tho League 'meeting on Monday ev-
ening was in charge of the .Social and
Literary committees, when Rev, Mr.
Rogers of Seatorth,was present and
gave his address, he would not allow
it to bo dignified by the name' of
"Lecture," on "The Life and Work
of Di, Talmage." Mr. Rogers is
possessed of a good delivery; a win-
ning voice and such a pleasing manner
altogether, that even if his .subject
master were not up to the mark, he.
would still be listened to with pleas-
ure. But on this oceasion his 'subject
matter was all right nil his address
proved most interesting to the young
people, and to a goodly number of
the older people as welt. There were
a few musical numbers on, the pro-
gram also. Misses I3e5sie O'Neil attd
Meryle Moore eaeh gave an instrumen-
tal solo in a very aeceptable manner.
Miss Ttetta Cook sang, and Prof.
Brown favored the audience with a
couple of instrumentals. After the
programa dainty lunch was served
and a pleasant social hour was
spent.
Tho pastor will preach on Sunday
next. Subjects : Morning, "A Burn-
ing and a Shining Light"; evening,
"Jacob A Wrestler," the fourth ser-
mon
erinon on th "Life and Character of
Jacob." . Aare welcome big bar trade is being done. Per- on the Thresher Company property.

A special meeting of the town coon sonai'ly I am not convinced ,that. to
lessen the number of licenses mean
to reduce tite drinking,' but the major-
ity of the citizens having pronounced
in favor of cutting off licenses, I con-
sider it my duty to support: the by.

issued we might snake the laconic
