BOTTOM FACTS ABOUT THE HAT BUSINESS.
In, the hatting trade the ball begins to
get in motion. Business ?s on the in
crease. The next two week's pay-roll
will be touch larger than the past.
Every workman who has been accomo
dated through the du'l season by the
butcher and groceryman should remem
ber that it takes money to run their
business. Try to pay each one a share
cf your wages. By so doing you help
them to pay for their goods and keep
the ball a rollicg. What we want most
at the present time i3" a good demand for
labor, more and steadier employment.
As a rule for the past 40 years or more
the price for labor has been governed by
the demand for hats. The dull state of
business the country over has made a
greater demand for the cheapest grades
of hats, which means a shabby bat.
Every one knows that it costs money to
make a good article to wear. Hats are
no exception to the rule. To make a
fur hat the material has to be imported
mostly from Germany and Russia. The
shalac to stiffen the body with is import
ed from South America, a part of the
trimmings are made in this country and
a part iti the old countrys and it takes
the gold to pay the bills. A good fur
body, well stiffened and well finished
with a hot iron and water, be it either a
soft bat or derby style, might and will
stand a good deal of abuse. You may
whip the cat or dog and throw it at the
chickens in the yard, if your derby is a
good one it will stand the test without a
break. If out of shape wear it in the
hot sun or warm it gently by a fire and
its all right. If your hat is a poor one
let it alone for the more you work at it
the worse off you will get. Pay a fair
price and be sure you get what you pay
for. If the dealer is an honest one and
understands his business he will give
you your money's worth. Fair dealing
and fair wages will keep the ball rolling,
then labor troubles and strikes will be a
a thing of the past.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO MASTER THOMAS.
Winnie, the five-year-old son of Mrs
John Thomas, met with an unfortunate
and painful accident, last Saturday after
noon, that will seriously impair the sight
of one eye. While playing with a pair

Smash-ups by the trolley are becoming

Contractor E. H. Smith is doing for

should have received attention before the
cars were run. This is anchoring the
rails and putting down a guard beam
outside the rails. Oa this beam a rail

yellow pine. By an inexplicable piece
of good luck an accident here has not
vet occurred. A slight obstruction on
the rail would easily have thrown a car
into the water without much notice. This
must have been one of the things over
looked by our town committee. ...
