A number of months ago It was stated In THE Star that the Women's Relief Corps of this place contemplated the erection of a large monument in honor and memory of be brave soldier boys that went out from this vicinity during tbe war between the north and the south. Tbe ladies started a subscrip tion to raise funds to carry out tbe the worthy and commendable project they had undertaken, hut the hard times struck our community about that time and those who had charge of the raising of the necessary funds wisely decided to let up on subscription work until the prosperity wagon comes this way and then the work will be taken up and a sufficient sum raised to erect a large and creditable monument. What money has been collected Is In a bank on Interest. Tbe ladies tblnk they can take up the subscription work next spring.

There are a few families in town where there are children that cannot attend school because tbey do not have clothing to wear.

Hlgglns and he will call for the articles and Bee that they are given to tbe families in need of them. No doubt there are a number of families who have dresses, suits, un derwear, Ac., that are too small for members of their own family who will gladly give such articles to children in need of them, and this is a good oppor tunity tu place them where tbey will do good. . Ratbnel Not Included. Heretofore there has been four ap pointments for preaching services on the Sykesvllle charge of the M. E. church.

The children bad a fire In the playhouse Saturday after noon and' evening, and as usual, had put the water on the fire, but evidently did not extinguish all the fire and it burned up again and set the pen on fire. When tbe fire ' was discovered Jay Hugbes ran down and opened the door to get the pigs out, but tbe flames drove him back from the pen and he could see tbe pigs writhing In death struggle. ' Everyone it invited to attend the masquerade In the Red Men's ball, Nov. 2, under auspices of Epworth League. Poor Trolley Service. N A short Item In lat week's PoHt-Dis-patch la regard to tbe poor trolley ser vice, has provoked a great deal of dis cussion, all of wblob is condemnatory of the service rendered by the trolleys operating In this community. Our cit zens are outspoken In their protests not only against tbe DuBois line, but also against the Jefferson Traotlon Com pany, which curtails Its Sunday services so that the last car leaves Reynoldsville at nine o'clock. This proves decidedly Inconvenient to those who wish to at tend church in Reynoldsville and, as tbe trolley line has been granted a fran chise as a public servitor and for public convenience, tbe people are beginning to awaken to the fact that they are not being served In an adequate manner consistent with tbe rights granted the company, which certainly charges a high enough rate for Its fares between Sykesvllle and Reynoldsville.
