To his opera- | tions much of the improvement at Spring | Mills ig owing, and we fear in his zeal to | benefit the neighborhood he worked to | his own loss and injury. Mr. Grenoble's business operations ex- tended from Coburn to Oak Hall. His | operations at Coburn, Centre Hall, Lin den Hall and Oak Hall, were confined to | coal and grain, while at Spring Mills he | had a large store in connection with a grain house and coal yard. It appears that several years ago he sustained a heavy loss, some $13,000, through the | failure of another party with whom he | had transactions in grain. This was too | severe a strain for him, and he battled with all the industry of his nature to | overcome it, but it aided materiaily to bring on the crash and he had to suc- cumb, We hear many regrets from those | who know him, and who wish it were | otherwise— it certainly is a misfortune | for bis neighborhood as well as for him- self, for, could he have weathered the storm, his continnation in business, at- tended by prosperity, would have been | of good to Spring Mills. One of the reasons for Mr. Grenoble's failure was a reckless manner of doing business, reaching beyond his capacity and often paying prices for grain and produce beyond what the markets war- ranted in order to distance rivals in se- curing trade. This is not a correct busi. ness method and will generally end in financial ruin. It is said that on about $10,000 of Gren oble's paper the endorsers deny their signatures, saying they never signed the notes.

The case then stands thus: Fifty years ago there were about 40 distilleries and half dozen churches, Now there are 40 churches and not half dozen distilleries, Quite a revolution. we Mr, George 8. Lenhart, the young and lively editor of the Wm'spt Break. fast Table, passed through on the frain last week. Mr, Lenhart visited Belle- fonte to see his brother of the quill, Mr Reinhard, of the Grit, who at presen is rusticating in castle Walker. The fates are severe with Wma'ports Sunday journalists.
