1UDAY, NOVEMBER 1, iSSO,
. LEBANON MUST CO
f ''ORWARD! who can not, si mils
- Kit, PL'trojjvmle out' step backward. It
U tuo Into in the tidy now, to talk of
past mtatakt's or recriminate ou Mm
fu'nlta of others, we hove the litlUR
pitat with which to do; and wu
mihst Inert the resiwasihlUtlvB of the
flood tide that is on us.
Our towu is buil. ling faster Uiaii the
moat sanguine expectations of the
greatest vnlhuslast ; notwithstanding
over fifty residences have been built In
the past six months, ytit every house I
occupied uud in some houses there are
more than one family ; nono but a
croaker or a pessimist will gninsay n
btlll brijhter future, Now the one
preat question to our mind is, lww to
jrlvw employment, regular and con
Ktuut, to the toiling masses who win
bread by the smack of their sweat.
Emigrants uud home seekers expect
some means of regular employment
our lands are rich and cheap enough,
and everything is here to please the
eye and charm the prosjMjetor, but a
prudent man looks to something more,
"where ftru the toilers to gather?" We
must build factories we must have
more power to do it with. "The gods
liuip them that help themselves," and
if we waut capitalists to help Lebanon,
then Lebanon must first help herself.
There in plenty of money and brains in
Le!aaou to bring in the ditch, the
question K have w the enterprse?
Kolf interest surely demand our united
a.itt earnest effort.
Thi ditch when completed, will add
from o;e to three hundred prr cent to
real estate, will 'give -employment to
numbers and thus increase the volume
f trade. Every dollar invested will
pay a large dividend to the share
holder,!and will be the basis of a pros
perity undreamed of. It will then be
to the iuterest of the capitalist to come
and invest, and they will gather here
"like the eaglea to the carcs."
We call upon one and all "without
regard to race or color or previous con
dition,' agitate this question in such
:i way that action, ACTION ! will take
tlie place of twatlling talk. If Albany
can take her power from here and make
money by se.ling the power, surely we f
can accomplish as much with the water
at our doors. Who will show their loy
uky to Lebanon and receive the plaud
its of a grateful public by taking the
lead in this matter?
We solicit sugg stlons, plans or wel
come any move towards the accom
plishment of this one great enterprise
for Lebanon. More anon.

harder than poverty, rougher than
sin; from Uie roller suspended, it was
never bended, flapped ou the wall like
a banner of tin. It grew thicker and
rougher aud harder and tougher,
and daily put on a fjtore inkier hue,
until ouo windy morning without any,
warning, fell to the floor and was brok
en in two. Curdette.

Awake thou that clcst. There
fore let us not sleep a do others. A
live church is a thing of beauty and a
pleasure to the Lord. Eaoh mmbcr
ought to strive to make other better,
and be prepared for future usefulness :
By a new consecration.
By quitting your meanness and
fault-finding.
By erecting a fcou'ly altar.
By forgiving all your enemies. '
By parting company with the dead.
By attending all social meetings.
By keeping your bump of self-esteem
wll poulticed.
By taking your churqh paper and
reading it oarefnlly.
By reading everything you can gel
on spiritual growth.
By eeesing in every way possible to
give a reason for the hojc that you
profess to have. Strive to grow in
Knowledge, m well as in grat e, for an
unread Christian is much line u
niuley calf in a herd of Texan steers.
Look well to the living if you have
a loved one parsed over before you;
do not spend all your strength and
energy on the departed, for they are
beyond your help, but reach a helping
hand to the living, poridhinjr; young of
this woild.
