JERHYN
. AND
MAYFIELD
We are now enteritis upon the last
day of the year; a year which cannot
be recalled. The young, look forward
in anticipation to coming years, of man
hood and womanhood, and after tnat
state Is U(.ssed, one experiences regret
at the fast iMtssing, "eats. The first
day of January, Jsyc, a large number
formed re soluliuns, but how-long were
they kept? We have known instances
where the good resolutions were broken
the first week of the yea.- and even the
first day; whit? others stand steadfast
for some time, but how many hold out
the whole year? We have now about
reached the time when it is customary
to turn over a new leaf. Tonight some
will attend watch meetings, others will
attend places of amusement. ' Hut
wherever one may be let him ponder
over mistakes which have been mnde
this year, and of the fast pasnlug time
and profit by past experience.
We uuote from the Jermyn Press of
Dec. 26: "Let all voters as wtll us as
pirants for councilmanic honors under
stand that no shareholder In the Jer
myn & Rushbrook Water company can
legally be elected to serve on the coun
cil. Apart from this lejal protection
voters have the privilege of turning
down every candidate who will not
pledge himself to support municipal
owneishlp of water works." And would
add, that we cannot believe as they
do, nor do we think it is so. Would
you take away the privileges of a citi
zen from aspiring to councilmanic hon
ors and becoming a member, because h-
has Invested a small amount in the
water company. No, that would bo
impossible, and the only way it can be
done. Is by follow inn the last part of
the paragraph. What " h claim Is, that
any citizen, being a stockholder in the
Wuter company or any corporation, is
eligible to hold the otlice of councilmun
but he has no right to enter into any
discussions or vol on any contract, be
tween the borough and the corporation
of which he Is Interested.
William H. James' new home Is about
completed, and when It Is finished will
be one of the neatest In town. Mr.
James' home was burned to the ground
about a year ago.
Miss Reese, the North Main street
milliner, is visiting her parents at Oly
phant. The 2-year-old daughter of John Gll
hooley. Is very ill of diphtheria at his
home on the East Side. Last evening
Dr. S. 1). Davis performed Intubation,
which undoubtedly will telieve the
child.
Jacob Hlller, the tax collector, spent
yesterday In Scranton.
Alfred Helmes returned yesterday
from a week's visit in Pittston.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mi'Lutighlln.
who have bfen visiting their son at
South Canaan, returned home yester
duy. Life Is a battle, a struggle, but let
us take courage and by divine assist
ance we will succeed.
Some strange man, claiming Carbon
dale as his home, was driving on Main
street yesterday afternoon in an In
toxicated condition, stooping at the
various hotels. While In one of the
places his horse took friglit and dashed
up Main street, and about an hour af
terward performed the same caper. It
was a lucky runuway, as there was
but very little damage done.
The case preferred by W. W. Cul
lender, of Ct-rbondule, against Mrs.
John Benskl and Mrs. George Ytibeu
skl, of the East Side, for tlie with
holding of goods with refusul to pay for
the same. -was tried before Alderman
Baker, of Carbomlule, last evening.
The defendants waived a hearing and
entered ball for their appearance at
court. Attorney P. E. Timlin repre
sented the defendants.
John 11. Griffiths transacted busitn-tis
in Scranton yesterday.
The Muylleld school board met In
regular session on Tuesday evening.
All members wtre present. The fol
lowing bills were read and ordered
paid: A. E. Tiffany. $i:!0.f5; Baker,
Taylor & Co.. $114; C. L. Bell, $.!l;
Eugan & o'Donnell, $4.50; labor ami
material for heating apparatus, $i:i!i.ii4.
Several parents, who had been notified
by the board to be present were on
hand to present their excuses for the
non-attendance of their children ut
school whose uses were under 13 years.
All parlies gave satisfactory excuses,
with the exception of John McLean,
who udmitted the boy was under IS
years of age, but was willing to send
his boy to school providing the hoard
would consent to his admittance with
out being vaccinated, as he had bee n
vaccinated eight years ugo. to which
the board replied and said that ..ie
state law requites that ftiey shall be
vaccinated every seven years. Fur
ther than this he tillered no excuse,
and on leaving he emphatically naul
he would not comply with the law of
vaccination. The board informed Mr.
McLean that they did not want the
boy to be vaccinated at school, but
that he could have It done by his fami
ly physician; but he would not hearken
to any proposition made by the board.
After his leaving the room the matter
was discussed and finally it was put In
the hands of the following committee:
W illiams, Cogglns and Walker. The
following will be of Interest to those
who are not yet fully acquainted with
the school law on the above matter:
