We understand petitions to court
will soon be made out, having the
signatures of the citizens, living on
the north and west side of the dilapi
dated suspension bridge, urging the
court to recognize the necessity of the
reconstruction of the bridge and re
cognizing this bridge as essential as
any bridge in the township or any
highway. Where the depot and post-
office are located this bridge must be
repaired on a sound basis, and the
sooner the better. We can't afford
o go around Cape Horn to reach the
depot and postoffice that is by the
onestown bridge near the school-
house. It would cost but a small
amount of money to repair the bridge,
and our popular postmaster John
Harrison, offers to render material
help in the matter. The bridge must
be repaired as a matter of public ne
cessity. Miss Grace Amerman, one of our
popular young ladies, has been doing
some fine visiting up the river and
also in Greenwood recently.
Mrs. Lena Mclntvre is making a

organizations forming a daylight or

The address will take place . in the

Oentralia Wants a Library- 1
The Philadelphia Times is offering
a library to the three educational ins

printed daily in that paper. The
Centralia High School has entered the
fight, and is doing we'l, as it now
stands sixth in the list. It is the only
school in the county that stands a
chance of winning, and it ought to be
helped. All persons who get the
Times are requested to cut out the
coupons marked ''general" and leave
them at this office, and we will for
ward them to Miss Lizzie Moran of
Centralia, a teacher in the school, and
graduate of the Normal. The
names of the contributors will be made

into pictures. It produces scenes
from all parts of the world in a most
realistic manner and it is very difficult
for the audience to realize that they
are only looking at a picture on a

including a company of National
Guard Soldiers at Drill ; a Christmas

ment ; a farmer s troubles taken on
Front Street, Harrisburg j The Em

scenes ever presented, in which fire
men are seen at work and rescuing
people from burning buildings 1 down

many others. This entertainment is
one that draws the most fashionable
audiences wherever the Proiectoscope
has been exhibited and the people of
this place should attend at least one
of these exhibitions. No one goes
away dissatisfied. Popular prices will
prevail. Watch the advertisement in
