With THE BorouGH LAWMAKERS.— |
Eight members were present at the reg- :
alar meeting of council on Monday even |
ing, the absentee being Mr. Sheffer, of
the North ward.
The chairman of the Street and Water |
committees reported various repairs in |
different parts of the town, but nothing |
unusual. Mr. Musser, for the Water!
committee, reported that the officials of
the Yeager Swing factory had refused to
sign a lease for the property they now |
occupy and that notice had been served
on them to vacate on January Ist, 1911. +
Clement Dale Esq. attorney for the
county commissioners, was present and |
asked an investigation of the fact that’
water tax assessed against the coun-:
for the fourth quarter is $37.66, twice
as much as the tax for the three quarters |
preceding. The matter was referred to |
the Water committee for investigation i
and report.
Mr. Kirk asked what was being done |
carried out very successfully. Upwards of one
hundred persons were present and the cvening
proved a very delightful one for all. |
The early Monday moming train was well |
loaded with teachers bound for the teachers’ in-
stitute at Bellefonte. One of the old stand-bys. |
missed the train as well as rol! call.
Henry L. Dale who for the past nine months
has been in the Badger and Sucker States, re-
turned home Friday. and is inclined to think the
old Keystone State is good enough for him. i
Martin A. Dreiblibis went to the Wills Eye bos- |
pital, Saturday. accompanied by his brother |
Newton. An operation was performed on Sun- |
day evening and he is getting along nicely. Sev-
eral weeks ago a spaw! scruck his left eye and it
was feared he will lose the member. :
SPRING MILLS.
The weather in this valley has Leen on the i
Arctic order for a week.
Butchering is about over. and we are waxing |
saucy and fat in sausages.
Quite a number of our folks will entertain large: |
ly at dinner on Christmas day. i
Sleighing is excellent, the jingle of sleigh bells
is incessant, while the merry laugh is heard at al |
hours of the day and night.
|
|
in the matter of laying a pavement — |
’ i generally remarked that the Christmas |
around the corner at Rhoads’ property, | number of the WATCHMAN. is always a very hand. |
on Linn street, to take the place of the | some issue. and this year's was certainly no ex- i
one torn away in the building of the state |
road. Inasmuch as nothing had been
done in the matter the president referred
the matter to the Street committee to
investigate and ascertain just what kind
of a pavement it would be best to put
down, with contract price for same, and
report at next meeting.
Mr. Kirk further suggested that the
percentage of the cost of construction of
the new state road, curbing and gutters
and brick paving to be paid by the ad-
joining property owners ought to be col-
lected, and the borough solicitor was in-
structed to make out and render bills for
same at once.
A note for $2,200 held by Jared Har-
per, one for $800 held by Mrs. Minnie
Harper and one for $2,000 held by F. W.
Crider were authorized to be renewed,
the first two for six months and the lat- :
ter for three months. With the approval |
of the bills council adjourned.
——Jjohn G. Dauberman and D. A.'-
Boozer, of Centre Hall, were in town’
Wednesday onbusiness. Both gentlemen
are representative business men of that
place and seem to be of the opinion that
being “dry” isn't helping the business |
of Centre Hall very much.
—=—J}. N. Moyer, one of the Rebersburg |
teachers, was a very pleasant caller at!
this office during his stay in town for
Institute. He is a very genial, versatile |
gentleman whom we should imagine
would be a most successful educator.

Took the Advice. |
The president of one of the promt- |
nent railway corporations in America |
was making a stirring address to an |
audience of young men and dwelt
with particular emphasis on the neces i
| sity of making an good appearance,
“When you are looking for work,” |
he said. “be careful that you are pre- |
gentable. If you have only $24 in|
the world, spend $20 for a suit of |
clothes, $3.50 for a pair of shoes, 50 |
cents for a hair cut and shave. Then!
walk up to the job wherever it is and |
ask for it like a man.” :
This advice was greeted with great
applause, and the railway president |
sat down amid a storm of cheers. The |
very next morning a dapper looking |
young fellow walked Into the outer
office of the orator and, handing a note |
to the clerk, said. “Please give this to |
