It is little wonder then that Crepons are again ihe rage, and are in great er demand than ever. English Crepons Are the best in the world, and their latest creations in silk faced goods are marvelously beautiful. But, this is not all, English Crepons wear as satisfactorily as plain weaves.

The Lehigh Valley Railroad company seeks to be- exonerated from tho pay ment of taxes upon their new shops at Sayre, Pa. Two other tountles are placed In tho same position as Brad ford in this matter. The company has asked the county commissioners of Bradfoid and the boiough council of Sayre to exonciate tho taxes on $lf",2tE worth of property in that vil lage. This includes it pait of the old shop, the new shops and fixtures nnd a bi.iall pleco of land, and tho claim is that the property is a part of the equipment of the road necessary to Its operation and not real estate subject to locnl taxation The amount on which exoneration is not asked Is $18, UIO. The lobs to Savre would bo 17'i mills on J1S5,243, and to the county four and a half mills on tho same amount for county and couit house purposes. The eiueMton Is being given most careful consideration by the county commls sloneis and the Sayie council and It Is probable that tho matter will bo de cided by tho court according to its mer its under tho law.
