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

ever played between auy other team

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

As W. O. 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. The left arm and
side were very sore, but the Doctor
could find no bones broken. Mr.
Holmes was on his way out to the
Poor House to look after some work.
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. Siick

HEA DING AND SEWING.
There would be fewer glasses worn upon the streets if people would use
them for reading and sewing earliei. 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. "A stitch in time saves nine."
