He | some experience in handling ag cultural impiements and thought that if a home factory could make no more us profits than the frieght on such goods from eastern markets it would be a paying business. J. Scuder spoke upon the necessi- ty of whatever should be undertaken let it be done with sure success and net be allowed. to lag. He thoughtit very . | important that practical men should such an enterprise. He was. satis- | lanage the business, and thatit was best to organize at home and make the begining with home capital. Men who were directly interested in doubt but that an establishment of | fueimantiaetucy wodldbe more apt the kind would pay a good per cent :pon the investment. He believed that Butler had plenty of capital and business pluck to take hold of the opportunity and make it win. John Catterlin, ot the Butler Cz riage Works. was the first speaker. He spoke upon the importance of manufactures to a town, stating | that all cities were just what the citi- | zens made them. Important indus- tries would never be built up and ple, made successtul unless the } the busmess men took an interest in} e al public enterprises. He was sat- isfied that Butler capitalist’s would out their shoulders to the wheel in | carnest permanent success would be tie result of their cfforts. He was in the manutacturing business on a small scale himself and knew that it would pay in Butler. He express- ed great earnestness in the under taking and wanted to see it put for- | ward without fail or delay. W. E. Walton was called on, and spoke with jis) charactristic brietne: He stated as his opin- ion that the business men of Butler should begin themselves and not wait for cascern capital te come and ctures. During the start) manut past few weeks he had written as many as twenty-five letters te manu- tacturing companies in the east, and the almost unanimous reply was re crowded to death with work; their demand for agri- cultural rmplementst wagons etc., was greater than they could supply, and could not consider the matter ot coming west when they had so large a field at home. Most of them ad- vising the starting of manufactures with home capital, even though on a limited plan, and then increase the capacity as the demand wou!d just- ty. He thought that an orgamzation should be effected at once and bus- iness began in earnest. Judge J. A. Lefker spoke at length upon the subject alluding to his experience aad observation in in other countries where manufact- uriug establishments were carried on. He called attentionto the fact that manufactures were essential to e, that she could never utler’s fut tt city until dustries were operating 12 our m nanutacturing — companies afford to come to so sina become 2 Lar Ore advised He s than $20,- following cc appoi stock Walton; Judge T.

With this expression of sentiment, so unanimously in one direction, and in the right direction at that, the next thing to be done was plain to all, how much money can be raised.

She took tor her subject **True Woman- hood,”’ and she being the true type of woman herself ot course knew ex- actly how to handle her subject. It was very interesting and instructive. There as some few points made in her address which we might object te, chief among which was her d finition of an old maid. We believe old maids are old maids because lly so they can’t get married, gen homely the devil wouldn’t have them But. then, Miss Addie perhaps knews more about them than we do and we let her have it h-r own way.
