Uivie Righteousness in the Lend,
In the borough of Nescopeck in Lu-
zarne county, where the population
numbers about 1800 and where there
are four churches and four pastors.s
battle is on against the granting of
two licenses to ell intoxicants—one a
wholesale and the other aretall appli-
cation.
Neecopeck has enjoyed being '‘ dry
for two years in the face of most stren-
uous efforts on the part of the liquor
interests to make it wet’. The tem-
perance sentiment runs so high that
it took very great effort on the part
of the two applicants to get the
required number of signers on the ap-
plication, This year the worst *‘ rag-
tag’ element in the town are the on-
ly fellows that could be procured ; on-
ly one is a free-holder, snd it i®
questioned if his property is worth
$400,
Not one single signer of the applics-
tion is in any way affiliated with any
one of the churches of that towr, or
indeed is sn attendant upon any of
the services of these churches, This
surely is as it ought to be. What a
shame that any man aoywhere who
professes to be Chris iar, will io any
way lend his ipfloeuce toward the per-
petuation of the accursed businese.
Last yesr the remopsirance against
the ealooa in this town carried about
90 per cent of the names of the adult
population of the towr, and this year
it is expected that it will go even bie
yond that, The town is well orgsp-
jged, all the leading citizens, business
and professional men are in the line-
up for. purity snd sobriety, Every
pastor, with théir respective cobgre-
gations are standing shoulder toshoul-
der in the fight, end if Nrescopeck
does pot stay in the “dry” e’lump
jt will be po fsult of the citizens,
Rev. GG. W. Meclioa:, formerly of
the Penns Valley charge, is pastor of
the First M, E. church ip that town
and is one of the principal workers io
he interests of the ‘drys, ”’

Figured in Auto Accident,
Lssat Friday afternoon, Carl Hassen-
burg figured in an auto accident that
might have proven fatal, says the
Lewisburg Journal, He was on his
homeward journey from Centre coun-
ty, and while coming down the Bev-
en-mile Narrows at this time the road-
bed being very icy, snd thus the
chains and brakes on the machines
took littie effect in checking and eon-
trolling i'. He therefore skidded
from ove side of the road to the other,
at times almost thrown over the steep
mountain side. But coming at. ter-
rific speed kept hie bead snd guided
the machine as best he could, until
finally hitting a large stone, the car
was ‘thrown completely the reverse
and upon ita side, thus toroinog *“to-
tle” and pinned bim under, the top
resting on him. At isst be mansged
to get ree, and unsseiated righted his
machine sand contiourd home in »
