LETS HAVE THAT BOOM.

men” would start a little boom in build-
ing a few houses, when lots are so cheap?
Come, waken up, and do something be-
sides blowing and comtinned fanlt finds
ing—there is nothing like being really
useful, Now just form a little syndicate,
ou men of enterprise, and get up a real
m, have more cider and less talk.
Now then whoop ’er up, and we'll all
join to give you three cheers, There is
no denying that we have men here who
can do anything and accomplish any-
thing, We actually have some wonder-
ful men here, and it is these we want
to waken up and make a city out of our
town,
They can do it, if only one twentieth of
their talk and air castles were put in exs
ecution, This is asking only a small pro
sortion of professions made, and it would
e a mighty big thing for them and the
town. Now you mainstays of the town,
wont you start a real boom—just a little

ARBOR DAY,
Governor Beaver has appointed Fri~
day, April 27, to be observed as Arbor
Day in Pennsylvania. The following is
an extract of the proclamation:
Whereas, By a Concurrent Resolution
of the General Assembly of the Com
| monwealth of Pennsylvania, approved
| the 30th day of March, 1887, the Govern-
or of the Commonwealth was requested
to appoint annually a day to be designa-
ted as Arbor Day in Pennsylvania, and
to recommend by proclamation to the
people on the days named the planting
of trees and shrubbery in the public
school grounds and along the public
highways throughout the State; and
Whereas, The observance of Arbor
Day heretofore has been found to be
productive of much practical good; there-
fore
I, James A. Beaver, Governor of Com-
monwealth, haveappoioted and designa-
ted, and do hereby appoint and desig-
nate Friday, the 27th day of April, to be
observed as Arbor Day throughoot the
Commonwealth, Not only shonld tiees
and shrubbery be planted in the public
school grounds and along the public
highways, but increased attention ehould
be given to the planting of trees wher-
ever they can be properly cultivated,
Thousands of acres of farm lands other-
wise unproductive can be turned to prof-
itable account, by the caltivation of tim-
ber, nut, and fruit beariog trees, The
subject should receive the careful and
| considerate attention of all who are io-
terested in the prosperity of the Com-
monwealth, and in a remunerative res
turn for money invested in and the la-
bor expended on their lands. The ob-
| servance of the day shouid not be confin
ed to literary exercises in, and tree-
planting by, our public scho It is a
subject which demands sad should re-
ceive the thonghtiul attestion and care
ful consideration of ail our people The
general observance of the day should re-
sult in the planting of large numbers of
trees, not only for shade and ornament,
but for practical uses and profitable re-
turn in the future. The incidental ad-
vantages which will result to the commu-
nity are great and varied The necessity
for increased attention to the general
subject of forestry is becoming more and
more apparent. There should be not
only an iucreased attention to dis-
semination of knowledge upon the sub-
ject, bul a greal increase in the nomber
{ of trees actually planted. If the grounds
| sorrounding our school houses are filied
with trees and shrobs, let scholars
| secure permission the owners of
ands along the highways to plant trees
in sch a way as Lo protected from
jury, and at the same time afford bean-
| ty and shade to the passer-by,
Pareuts and childden, and citizens gen-
erally, are recommended to join in the
observance of this day, and 10 seek op-
portunities and aveanes for extending its
influence and beneficent results. If the
iy should not be sufficient for accom
lishing of all that is wished, lot the work
