The writer has always been of
the opinion, but was especially im
pressed of the fact, while on a drive
up through the country about
Light Street and other places, that
the value of any farm is enhanced
by having a well kept public high
way passing by it, and yet there
are a few men who, rather thau do
any gratuitous work on such a road
for fear their neighbor may profit
by it, will let such a highway be
come a disgrace to them and to the
community.

AT THE NORMAL
Commencement Woek Program a
Fine One
The exercises of Commencement
week at the Normal began on Sat-
urday evening with a drama by the
Middltr Class, entitled "A Ross of
Plymouth Town." It was well
presented, and generally conceded
to be the best performance given of
its kind in recent years on a simi
lar occasion.
On Sunday afternoon the bacca
laureate sermon was preached by
Mr. George Mahy, secretary of the
Scranton Y. M. C. A. It was a
forceful and helpful discourse.
On Monday evening the Music
recital of the Senior Class was held,
and was participated in by Misses
Bertelle and Sarah Laubach,
Blanche Austin, Nell Imboden,
Jem Gunton, Hazel Hartman, Ida
Smith, Lavere ;Robbins, Rose Vol
rath and Gregory Higgins. It was
a very pleasing entertainment.
On Tuesday class reunions were
held by '80 and '90 and several
other classes.
The class day exercises took place
on Tuesday evening, and consisted
of an address by the class president
Geo. II. Webber, of Charleston,
S. C, a piano selection for two in
struments by Miss Ida Smith,
daughter of Thos. L. Smith, accom
panied by Miss Pontius, which
showed much excellence in both
pupil and teacher. The class his
tory prepared by Miss Beatric;
Larrabee and Warren Drum, and
recited by Miss Larrabee was a
very entertaining sketch of the
class during its three years in
school. It was full of witty hits,
and recited in a charming manner.
A violin solo by Gregory Hig
gins was well played.
The class prophecy was gived by
G. I'M ward Elwell who used as a
means of looking into the future of
the class, the spectrophone, and by
its help he foretold some wonderful
things that are going to happen.
His speech was well dotted with
humor, and his delivery was grace
ful and unembarrassed, showing
that the young man was qnite'at
home.
. Jesse Y. Shambach delivered an
oration on Thadeus Stevens, and
eight senior girls rendered a vocal
selection. Miss Florence Redeker
presented a class memorial to the
school in the shape of a scholarship
of $200, which was accepted by Dr.
Welsh. The presentation of gifts
to members of the class, by Miss
Mary B. Dailey created much
amusement.
The hall was crowded, and the
entire entertainment was a great
success. Miss Prentice is entitled
to much credit for the excellent de
livery of the various speeches.
The commencement address was
delivered on Wednesday morning
by Dr. Chas. B. Gilbert of New
York city, and was a most excel
lent one. Music was furnished by
the Normal orchestra.
At one o'clock the Alumni meet
ing was held, with a goodly attend
ance. The following officers were
elected: President Dr. Welsh, '76;
Vice-President, George E. Elwell
'67; Recording Secretary, Miss
Anna Snyder, '86; Corresponding
Secretary, Prof. Wilbur; treasurer,
H. G. Supplee; Executive commit
tee, Prof. Bakeless, Miss Eva Ru
pert. Mrs. L P. Sterner, Mrs. J.
G. Harman, Prof. Albert.
At two o'clock the banquet was
announced, and about 400 people
sat down in the dining hall. Hon.
John G. Harman presided as toast
master and filled the bill to perfect
ion. Responses to toasts were
made by J. C. Kraut of Philadel
phia, Dr. Welsh, Miss Ida Sitler
of 1905. Harry McCollurn recited
one of James Whitcomb Riley's
poems and was encored. At 4
o'clock closed one of Normal's most
successful years.
JOKE ON JOHNSON
Chas. F. Johnson, formerly of
Bloomsburg, now a successful jew
eler ot Hnghesvile, is the victim of a
a joke. He attended the commence
ment exercises at State College
week before last, and while there
an old gentleman mistook him for
a classmate of forty years ago. Mr.
Johnson, says the Ilughesville
Mail, cannot see anything 111 his
personal appearance to cause one
to imagine that he is older thau he
claims to be, and he is busy ex
plaining how the old gentleman
was led to make such a mistake.
Millville Trolley,
C. W. Miller Esq., makes the
very encouraging statement that
work on the Bloomsburg Millville
trolley line will be commenced in a
day or two. The engineer is ex
pected to reach Bloomsburg today,
and upon his arrival the work will
be started. The equipment for the
construction of the line is already
nere, and the rails have been ship
ped.
