The Lake City Pilot, a new candidate

the Paragould Soliphone, and is a
Bprightly youngster. The editor
seems to have a combination of pro
fessions, judging from the following
sqibs: “A couple of our young men
got loaded on booze Saturday night
and ran up against a pistol in the
hand of our marshal, wdiich left some
sign, which the writer had to sew up,”
from which we infer that the editor
must have an M. D. handle to his
name. Then in another paragraph he
' says “Not much time for preaching
when the editor has to play the devil
in an office that is chiefly made
up out of a hell box, and this
bears the earmarks of a D. D.
This editor is blest beyond the aver

MAINE’S CANNING INDUSTRY.
One Hundred nnd Seventy-Five Fac
tories That Pay $1,400,000 a
Year In Wnges.
According to the report of Hon.
S. W. Mathews, state industrial and
labor commissioner, the Pine Tree
state is the champ'on sarmne canning
community of the country and is thir:'
on the list of states that can sweet
corn. In fact, Maine is the only
state engaged in the industry of put
ting up small herring and other suit
able fish as sardines. There are about
175 canning factories within its bor
ders, the value of which is about
$1,214,900, and give employment to
15,000 operatives. The amount of
wages paid in 1899 was about $1,400,
000; to the farmers for corn, $331,000,
and the value of the entire output
of all the factories was $5,300,089 dur
ing the year, quotes the New York
Sun.
Over 11,000 acres were planted to
sweet corn in 1899. The canning of
clams, blueberries, apples, beans,
squash, pumpkin and small fruits
seems to be on the increase, accord
ing to Mr. Mathews’ report, and he
does not see any good reason why
the industry should not increase
largely in the packing of these arti
cles. He also says that it appears to
apples anil berries of Maine are su
perior in quality to t..e same products
in other states, owing, doubtless, to
climatic conditions. In every kind of
canning men. women and children arc
paid remunerative wages, and the
canning factories give to many poor
families their only opportunity for
earning money.
WILL LAST -TWENTY YEARS.
Durability of n Nctv Kind of Cloth tr
lie Manufactured by Mills
in EiikIiisiI.
If the plans of certain English capi
talists do not miscarry it will be
possible ere long for the economical |
parent to purchase a suit of clothes j
which may be passed along among his
sons for the fifth of a century, say*
the Chicago Chronicle. Mills are now
being built in England for the manu- j
facture of this kind of long-wearing I
material, which can be turned out j
in almost any color wanted. Think
of getting a suit of clothes that will j
last for 20 years; that will cost only I
n third more than a suit costs now, i
and that will be absolutely water- j
proof without appearing to be so.
Revolutionize is rather an overworked j
word, but it fits this case exactly. |
Instead of singing: ‘‘Papa's pants j
will soon fit Johnnie,” the refrain will j
run: "Johnnie soon will wear pa’s
pants," for when pa once begins to
wear these extremely useful articles
before Johnnie has got out of dresses
! he may continue to wear them for the
! next 20 years, and by that time John
| nie will have grown up to them. The
i same with little Mary and her moth
I er’s skirts. Instead of cutting down
the garments for the girl the moth
er will wear them for a generation or
sc and then turn them over to her
daughter.
A Hound’ll l.oiiur Trip.
A hound was bought in Missouri :
j and shipped in a closed express car
; to a ranch in Kansas. In a day or
I two it was missing. Investigation
proved that it had gone back to its j
Missouri home, over a distance of 500 j
miles, on a road entirely unknown to j
the dog.
