One of the most brilliant social
happenings of this season in our
neighboring town of Berwick was
the wedding at high noon on Thurs
day last of Frank Faust and Miss
Prudence Meudenliall. The cere
mony was performed by Rev. R.
Gilbert in the Methodist church,
and was witnessed by a large num
ber of guests, many states having
been represented in the gathering.

There" is a movement on foot
among the clerks to have the stores
closed at six o'clock tor three even
ings each week, until the first of
September. A number of the busi
ness men have acceded, and it is
altogether likely that the rest will
agree to it. The petition is now
being circulated and our merchants
will all be asked to sign it. The
movement, it is hoped, will take
effect next Tuesday.

Thomas B. Fairman who is look
ing after his mother's interests at the
White House Restaurant, slipped
out of town one day last week and
went to Sunbury where he was
quietly married to Miss Annie E.
Keller, a highly esteemed young
lady of Mifflinville. They will re
side for the present with Mr. Fair
man's mother. The groom is to
be congratulated on the very worthy
lady whom he has secured for a life
partner.
Good roads and streets are a thing
the public are very much in favor
of. Loose stones in public high
ways are an abominable nuisance,
dangerous to horses and vehicles.
Supervisors should see to it that the
roads are kept clear of this bit of
nuisance. We don't need to go
outside of our borough limits to find
this thing existing. The proper
officials will render the public a
good service by clearing away these
stones.
F. M. Ghmore will remove his
restaurant to the room recently oc
cupied by Housel & Son, soon after
the 4th. The room is being newly
papered and painted this week bv
Chas. T. Heudershott. Mr. Gil
more will reside in the building,
and he will probably serve regular
meals as well as meals to order. A
first-class dining room will be con
ducted, where ladies and families
can procure meals, and where all
the delicacies of the season will be
served. This house has already ac
quired a high reputation for its ex
cellent cooking, which is under the
supervision of Mrs. Gilmore.
Flies, those diagreeable insects,
do not appear to be so numerous this
summer. People given to supersti
tious ideas incline to the belief that
this condition is an accompaniment
ot war, that the flies follow the
troops. Some other people say that
it is a sign of sickness, that the flies
act as scavengers, yet the public
health is apparantly pretty good.
But it matters not what the reason
ot the signification, ths absence of
the pests is very grateful, for one
bold, buzzing fly in a bedroom on a
summer morning can cause more
discomfort than an ordinary physical
disorder. In the vernacular tLere
are no flies on Uncle Sam this year.
. . ,
Every few clays the papers chron
icle accidents from drowning, and
as the Summer advances these acci
dents will occur with more frequen
cy. Most casualties of this kind
are due to the inability of the unfor
tunates to swim. There is 110 acom
plishment of so much importance as
the ability to swim, yet there is a
woeful lack of it among men, and
among women still more so. As a
diversion, swimming is wholesome
for several reasons, and as the means
of saving life it is invaluable. No
father should neglect to teach his
sons how to swim. By going with
them to the waler or sending some
one, all clanger will be averted. Too
many parents forbid their children
to go near the water which in many
cases is wrong. The boys should
be given every possible chance to
amuse themselves in the water, with
the precaution, however, that help
is within their reach should they
need it, while learning to swim.
After that they can take care of
themselves and, it necessary, rescue
others more unfortunate than they.
