TEE NEW TROLLEY LINE.
Mr. C. V. Miller, of Bloomsburg
is perfecting the right of way for
the Berwick and Nanticoke trolley
line between here and Shickshiuny.
With very few exceptions the en
tire distance has been covered and
the engineers will soon be at work
Permanently locating the road,
'he Plymouth township road com
missioners have also granted the
right of way through that township
and soon the right of way for the
entire liue will be secured. It is the
purpose of the builders of the road
to equip it for rapid transit. The
wagon road will not be followed
where a practical line can be found
elsewhere. By eliminating curves
and grade crossings, a speed of forty
miles an hour can be attained. The
present plans are to have the road
in operation by next June. Ber

that proved a big money winner for

capacity every day of the fair.

W. B. Ferguson says the new

through Morgantown. It will take
far into the winter to complete the
entire road, as there is still some
rocks in the way that will have to
be blasted out.
The Opera House management
would like it understood that
people who go to the advance sale
hereafter and have tickets laid
away must guarantee to call for
them. Some of the patrons have
been in the habit of going to the
advance sale and ordering tickets
laid away and then never call for
them with the result that the best
and most desirable seats in the
house are vacant, "and people who
would prefer aisle seats are refused.
The habit has been extensively
practiced of late, and is is proposed
now to stop it.
The Methodist Episcopal church
of Rupert will be re-opened on Sun
day next. The building has under
gone extensive repairs, including
re-painting interior and exterior,
re-papering, re- roofing and the in
stallation of a new heater. The
morning service will begin at 10:30
and Rev. Martin E. Schwartz of
Shippensburg, Pa. w ill preach. In
the evening Dr. Evelaud of Blooms
burg will preach. Special music
will be rendered at both services.
In the morning by a quartette from
the Bloomsburg M. E. church and
in the evening the ladies' quartette
of Buckhorn will sing. F. B.
