Show -rMoKWalflfCorpse Cunning Factory Project Not Head, Hut Committee llusy at Work, With Kxcclleiit I'roHpect of Success. in our last issue, under the caption, "Died u 'Hornln'," w0 stated that tho canning fnctory project hnd been abandoned: that tho meeting cnllcd in tho City Ilnll for a week luBt Monday Mon-day was u fullurc. Our Informant, who, by tho way, was n leading member mem-ber of tho committee, told us that those who attended tho meeting left when the lire bell rang and failing to come back tho project was abandoned. Our Informant was Innocent of giving giv-ing misinformation, but it transpires that a meeting was hold later in tho ovenlng and n commltteo to solicit subscriptions wiib appointed. Anothor ' meeting wus hold Tuesday evening,, and thero was n most healthy aontl-' meut manifested. A committee was appointed to bo-llell bo-llell stock subscriptions and every citizen in tho community will bo asked to subscrlbo for from one to twenty shares. Tho par vnluo of tho shares Hill bo $20. Loading citizens will bo usked to take $500 each und others $100. When this cluss of citizens has been exhausted, then a house to houso canvas will bo mtido nnd it is thought that every ono should tnko at lonst one share, as thero Is not n slnglo citizen but whnt will be benefited nt least $25 by reason of tho cwtnblsh. ment of n fnctory hero. Ten per cent of the nmount subscribed will havo to be paid for nt the time tho company Is organized, and tho bolanco gradually, grad-ually, ay It Is needed. Some of It will not bo called for till next Bpring. It Is tho Intention of tho promoters to erect tho buildings this fall and to order the necessary machinery for delivery de-livery next Billing, and to havo tho plant ready for canning tomntoes nnd fruit next season. Tho committee on soliciting stock and perfecting tho organization con-olsts con-olsts of Illshop Josoph If. Storrs, W. II. Chlpman, Hans ChriBtunscn, Alma Greenwood nnd George F. Shelley. Our last week's report, like Mnrk Twain said of tho story of his own death, "waB vory much exaggerated." |
