MORE ABOUT THE STREET LIGHTS. —At the regular meeting of borough council on Monday evening, December 21st, there was little business of importance aside from a further discussion of the street lighting question. But this was not as prolonged as usual because presi- dent Walker finally stated that the en- tire matter was in the hands of the Spe- cial committee and until it made a report or recommendation to council no action could be taken. Since that time the committee has held three meetings and discussed the proposition with superin- tendent H. J. Thompson, of the State- Centre Electric company, a representa- tive of the Westinghouse company and other electric light fixture representa- tives but up to yesterday they are no nearer the solution of the problem than they were in the beginning. ——Have your Job Work done here. i his new tonsorial parlor, above the postoffice, he ——William F.

Some families entertained quite largely at dinner, and of course turkeys suffered accord. ingly. All places of business were open, ex: cepting the mill and railroad station, which was closed between trains. All the stores were hand- somely dressed in their holiday attire, notably C. A.Krape’s shoe store, the interior of which presented a beautiful sight. All the decorations were artistically and charmingly arranged, evi- dently the work of skillful hands. All the stores report a very excellent holiday trade. Christmas day was decidedly cold, but notwithstanding sleighing parties were quite numerous. Times Better, Says Wwiison. President Wilson indicated that he believes industrial conditions in the United States are improving. He said, referring to a letter sent him by the Manufactuers’ Association of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, urging the repeal of the present tariff, that there was no truth in the asser- tion that the industrial position of the United States is growing worse. Fur- | ther than this he would not com- | ment. . The president also scoffed at re- ports that the government will face a deficit of $100,000,000 at the close of | the coming fiscal year, as stated by ! Representative Mann, of Illinois, the Republican house leader. If there was ' any danger of this, he would have | been informed of it, he stated, and no administration official had brought it to his attention. PINE GROVE MENTION. Now we write it 1915.
