you cannot afford to be without it.
Republican and Democrat alike
can read the Thrice-a- Week Worla
with absolute confidence in its
truth.
In addition to news, it publishes
first-class serial stories and other
features suited to the. home and
fireside.

a boy was drowned at Plymouth

questing that word be immediately
sent to Plymouth in case the body
is found. Other towns along the
Susquehanna have also been noti
fied. The claim of The Leader Store

light store" is well founded. All
of the center shelving has been
taken out and the goods are now
displayed on tables. A better light
is obtained in showing the goods.
It is the pleasantest store in which
to shop.

The wheat plants throughout the
country are apparently in good con
dition. The protection afforded by
the snow during the past few weeks,
seemed to have refreshed the plauts,
and when the covering was re
moved, the plants washed by copi

look. Much depends on the weatb
er conditions of this month whether
the wheat crop will be good or bad.

Our florists are preparing for the
Easter rush. The week before
Easter is probably the busiest of
the whole year for those engaged
in floriculture. In our opinion the
display at the greenhouses, easily
surpasses that of many previous
years. The scene is one ot grand
eur and beauty, and is well worth
a visit. From present indications
the stock of roses will not begin to
supply the demand, but there will
be an abundance of other flowers.
The incoming town council can
do the town a great service by
exercising care and judgment in
its appointments. If there are any
officials who are not earning their
salaries, their places should be fill
ed by men who will earn them.
The town is too poor and too much
in debt to pay fancy prices to use
less or inactive officials. There has
been much complaint of profanity
on the streets. If this is to be sup
pressed the police force should not
include any who set the example.
The behavior of three horses
caused considerable excitement on
Market Square Tuesday evening.
They were being led away from

ped upon by another and all three
were thrown. They regained their
feet with a bound, and tearing loose
from the man, started pell mell.
They were caught in the alley in
the rear of the City Hotel.

Distance.
2 There are some people who can read and sew for almost any length or
time without becoming tired. They do not have headache or any of the usual
symptoms of eye strain. But there distance vision is not good They find it
J difficult to read signs distinctly or to recognize people when they meet. This
is a defective condition and should receive professional attention without de
lay. While there seems to he no symptoms or overwork, the eyes are really
upon a strain almost constantly. They are not in perfect focus and are com
pelled to make an extra effort at all times. This effort will eventually injure
the eyes and the symptoms anu irritation will appear when it Is too late. If
you find that you do not see at a distance as well as you ought to, I want to
see you. I want you to tell me all about your eyes, I will show you glasses
that will make your vision clear and will advise you how to care for and pre
serve your sight. I do not charge for consultation.
