The Water Supply.
The committee appointed a little more
than a week ago to solicit subscriptions for
the artesian well project, have called on
quite a number of our citizens, who In re
turn have contributed towards the enter
prise, but not as liberally, perhaps, as they
might well have done considering the Im
portance and necessity of the Improve
ment contemplated. That we need a water
supply for protection In case of fire or
drought cannot be disputed, and that an
artesian well will furnish us that supply
cheaper and probably better than we could
got It by other means Is acknowledged by
somo of our citizens who haye made In
quiries and Investigation In the matter. It
Is certainly plausible Lehlghton is the
center of a great water bed, located In a
valley surrounded on the north, south, cast
and west by mountains which grade from
this point. There Is no question but what
a well five to seven hundred feet in depth
will supply the town with water for years
to come, so let the monled men who have
contributed Increase the amounts two or
ten fold,

U. S. Examining Surgeon for Pensions
from 1800 to 1684, when I was totally dis
abled by paralysis. Although I sometimes
feel as though I were stepping Into the
grave, with some of my fellow veterans,
still, this Incident aroused me from my
despondent lethargy and told me that the
"Boys of many Battles" still remembered
me, and It Is of them I want to be idor-
foMen. And It Is up there In the "sweet
afterward" I want to shake- hands with
them all. Oh, be bravo boys, bo good bo) s,
and let us throw all our strength Into the

of our souls, Satan, and Death will easily
succumb. May God's blessing rest upon
you upon us all, Is my earnest and sincere
