a splendid addnws delivered on
-that occasion by Prof. Fontier wo
extract the following, rogretting
that for want or -paco we can

' It peoirs to niu that your pro.s-

visited the grindstone Factory, and
found that wo were viewing an in.
stitution that has no competition
in tho whole world. Wo saw your
woolen mill, that mamoth stono
building that rears its imposing
structure towards tho risinsr sun.
i
Wo turned our eyes westward to
wards -nhcio tlio grandest effort
of tho Almighty Creator finds his
resting placo each ovoning, and
there to our mind wo beheld the
Ijgrnndcst enterprise of them all,
your canal that will bo tho means
of supporting hundreds of happy,
prosperous farmers and saw with
pleasuro tho comforlablo homos
that are being erected by tho score
to shelter them. In truth we saw,
and saw, and looked with increas
ing wondor and amazement, and
the thought came to us, "do these
people fully realize what wonder
ful things aro in store for them?"
This afternoon wo visited dozens
0f prosperous business houses,
nrl linmvl nti wm-d nf fnmnl.nnt
or murmuring. Nothing of hard
times, not a man in the whole city
even thinking of loaving; instead
we found now men coming hero
with families, and moans, to make
this their homo. Cars loaded with
household goods and farming
utensils and machinery ready to
be unloaded so soon as a placo can
be provided for them. Everyone,
who wants to be, at work at good
wages. God knows you ouht to
be a happ,y people and I bjliovo
you aro. Surely there is overy
evidence to warrant one in draw
ing such a conclusion.
In closing his remarks, the
Professor made .the following
btmdsoino reference, to our own
town of Hemingford which is duly
appreciated:
In bol'alf of my own town,
Hemingford, now and forever tho
county Buat of Box Butte county,
Nebraska, Loud and continued
applause. I extend to you our
grateful thanks and full apprecia
tion of your kindly interest in our
welfare, ma.iifest through that
princH among men, your worthy
mayor, Hon. A. L. Sharrock , and
pledge you oar good will and honest
efforts in whatever we may be able
to do to assist you in your wonder
ful strides towards the metropolis
of tho northwest.
Tho Professor's brief recital of
what he noticed in the way of
substantial improvements and
wonderful developments of tho
heretofore unnoticed resources of

people of Hemingford and vicinity,
