THOMPSON', Cashier. jPUsaiNunii; construction work Five Hundred Men Are Now Employod And Tho Forco Will bo Increased to Twice That Number. Things are humming along the line of the Susquehanna, Bloomsburg & Berwick Railroad. Five hundred men are now employed on the work of construction and Contractor Mc Manus says that the force will be in creased to twice that number. Like magic, almost, the country through which the road passes has awakened .'.om its apparent lethargy and the several little villages have been trans foimed into real live towns. At Mordansville the life and ac tivity is surprising. All the vacant houses are filled, other buildings have been fitted up for dwellings and numerous shanties have been buih to accommodate the workmen. P obably no place along the route is the quickening spirit more apparent than at Light Street. The force at this point was on Tuesday increased by the arrival of one hundred men and they were promptly put to work. A shanty about sixty-two feet long has just been completed for the use of the men. At Berwick, too, the work is pro gressing rap dly, and men are daily being given employment. The rails are already laid to a point below the town. Contractor McManus is anxious to get as mucli of the grading as possible done before frost. Cold weather he says retards the work and makes prog ress slow. He expects, by the last of the w'ee to have at least a hundred teams and nearly as many horses and cuts at wo.k. Just how the creek from Shaffer's to Shew's is to be crossed has not yet been definitely decided upon. It is altogether likely, however, that it will be trcstleed, as it is by far the quick es' el'.iod and the company is bent upon getting the road completed and in operation at the earliest possible time. As already stated in these columns the Susquehanna, Bloomsburg & Ber wick Railroad will mean much tor the alley, a fact of which ail the people are fully aware. It not only gives .hern the benefit of traveling facilities hich in itself is great, but brings to .h:'r very doors a market for their products. The people are rejoicing ,.ow and they have reason to, but they wiU rejoice in a still higher de gree when this great improvement is established and understood. You will be pleased with the work, and they will be pleased to serve you at the Gem Steam Laundry. Football at Williarusport Oct- 11- A great football event will be wituessed in Williainsport on Sat urday, October 11, 1902, when liucknell and the Carlisle Indians will line up for another battle oa the Athletic Park grouuds. As surances have been given that this will be one of the liveliest games ever played between auy other team and the Indians. Both teams will be at their best and those who wit ness the struggle be'.ween them will be well entertained. The usual excursion rates of one fare for round trip have been granted on the various railroads, for a distance of one hundred miles, good from the nth to the 13th inclusive.

Holmes was starting out from Wellivcr's stable on horse-back, this morning about half-past nine, the horse slipped on the brick crossing at the Exchange Hotel, throwing Mr. Holmes and falling on him. He was taken into the hotel parlor aud Dr. Reber was summoned, and upon examination a severe bruise below the left knee looked as though the horse had stepped on it.

He was removed to his home, and is resting comfortably. Shickshinny's local coal industry is active. The old Salem culm bank is alive with coal operations, there being over a dozen places where coal is screened and pre pared for the local trade. Some very good coal is being taken from the bank. When this deposit was made the breakers did not screen the coal so well, and as there was little demand also for the smaller sizes, much of it went into the culm pile. This is serving a good pur pose now and many are providing themselves with their winter's coal. The prices range from $1.25 to $2. so a ton. Considerable coal is beiug hauled to Berwick.

It is near work that wears out the eyes. The bookkeeper, typewriter, the dressmaker, the child in school are all putting their eyes to the hardest strain. A great many have constant headaches which they attribute to indigestion and nervousness, when the cause is simply overtax ed eyes If in reading the evening paper you have to place the light "Just So''; if the letters all run together ; if you have to close your eyes and rub theni.j it is nature's protest against over work. If threading your needle is more difficult than it used to be, it is the first warning of defective eyesight. The sooner you use glasses for near work the better. If you commence at once very likely you will only have to wear them in reading and sewing. If you go on straining your eyes, the chances are you will soon have to wear glasses constantly.
