Mr. William Wrlgley, ot the Electric

Mrs. II. H. Wilbur Is slightly indis
posed. What's the matter with changing the
name of our town to some name
catchy and striking to the world and
forever bury the mossbnek name of
"Faotoryvi'Ilt" Of course this old
factory name has done our pretty nnd
picturesque town service, as a nnmc
for about seventy-live years, but never
did It do us nny credit, abroad, or
among strancers that were not ac
quainted with the place. The Ilrst Im
pression that a stranger gets upon
hearing the name "Factoryvllle" Is
thnt it must certainly bo a town of
many factories, and far from being a
pretty nnd healthy town to live In,
nnd thnt the population (as usual In
a manufacturing town), must bo com
posed of a great mixture of humanity,
nnd principally of a foreign element.
Tills Is the reputation of our pretty
little summer resort nmonir our city
cousins, who have never been Informed
that we haven't got n factory in tho
town, or any foreign element ot any
descrltlon. "Factoryvllle" was de
rived from the fact that way back In
the forties an old woolen or cotton
factory stood near what Is now the
center of the town, nnd was known as
the "Old Factory." As soon as tho
town commenced to grow It wns
named "Factoryvllle," perhaps the
only name that coulo be found or
thought of in those da;..-. Let us have
a new nam:, and let us have It right
away.

Is spending a short time in town.

THE MARKETS,
Wall Street Hcvlow.
New York, April 19. Nothing outside
the news of war between Tin key and
Greece had much Interest In Wall street
today. Tho traders In stocks nro ac
customed to look with reliance to the
course of prices on foreign cxeh'angea
to guide thoin In their dealings In
properties likely to be effected by the?
European. The absence of the Index
today on account of the con
tinued closing n .the, exchanges In
Loudon and Paris over tho Easter hoi
hlay loft the minds of the traders In
some confusion and nts n ' result the
movement of prices was at times very
erratic without nny corresponding
chungo In the tenor of news to Justify
It. It ns evident at the opening,
however, that this market was beailng
the brunt of whatever senilis was n
result of th? win, not only by local
holders but by those In London nnd
Paris nndln Boston where the-exchange
also wa-i closed. The total rales of
stocks today wore 2i 1,314 shares.

Chicago, April 19. Choice cattle wore
again In comparatively moderate supply
and showed decided strength: others
usually selling about 10c per 100 pounds
lower; salen were on the basis of $3.S5al.21
for ordinary diesscd steels, up to Jl.Ola
11.25 for good to prime export cattle, with
"tip top" lots worth, $5.30a5.40. Sales wvro
largely at ?1.35a4. The striker and feei.
er trade was active at the usual wide
range of prices, w!th ehnlei feeding cattle
In especially animated dtmiml. Fat cows
and heifers sold actively at strong priced
while cauners were slightly lower. Ther
wns an active demand for hogs ami the
supply wa3 will taken at stronger prlc .
The bulk of tho offerings crossej the soal-s
at SI. 15a 1.20, julrs being made of heay
packing hogs at $3.75a3.95, uhlle the bet
llni' lot of 2S0-pouml hogs brought, $l..'0.
Laige receipts of fherp and lambs eaiH'-l
a weaker feeling and lambs suffered a f'H
ther decline of ntinut 10c per hundred
pounds, sales being slow at $3.75a5.bO for
common to prime Hocks
MiflilP
TV'e use the word "Sale" more as a matter of court
esy here than anything else, for "Gift" would be much
nearer the truth. Messrs Kerr, Son & Co. carried a
choice collection of fiue ware from the world's most
. famous art potteries, and you can get your pick of
elegant Vases, Jardinieres, Rose Bowls etc. etc., at,
from 50c to $5-00. Base imitations of thi same good' '
bring more money every day.
Fire Screens, Tabourettes,
Draught Screens, Umbrella Stands etc.,
at prices you'd think a shame to offer, if we didn't first
say we'll let them go at that.
