The historical event was permitted to pass un- ! marked by either public or private cere- j niony.

Somerselers are proud of their town, all acknowledge their indebtedness to the pioneers who sH-ured it for them, and all should have united in marking the cen tennial anniversary in some public man ner.

A splendidly equipped and economical ly managed electric light plant supplies the town with illuminating current at reasonable rates. A year ago a system of water works was constructed t.y the thorough corporation. The supply of water is apparently inex haustible and of an excellent quality for domestic us.;. Il also furnishes ample fire protection. Within the past nunth ineasti res were adopted by the citizens ofSoiucrset which will secure lr them a first-class Colle giate Institute. While the school will be conducted liiiiicr the auspices oflheAl legheny Synod of the Lutheran Church it will be non-sectarian and will furnish the nucleus for an institution of broader scope. The business men of Somerset are wide awake, aggressive and progressive. Many of them, looking beyond the confines of the county, have found additional mark ets for the lines they represent, while the superb stores ofthe town furnish an ever present subject for favorable remark on the part of all visitors. Sum erset's professional men have long since taken high rank throughout the state and country and the reputation earn ed by their ancestors has not tarnished in their hands but lustre has lieen added to the fame of those w ho have gone before by each succeeding generation. The citizens as a class are intelligent sober and industrious a'l the many ele gaut homes they have creeled is tho lest answ er to I he oft repeated slanderous as sertion that "the people of Somerset live better. h-s boiler und work less than any where else in the country." Somer set nUmnds w illi coiitforlshlc homes and to-day there is only one vacant dwelling in the Imrough, w hile a numl-cr are in course of i red ion. 1 he natural advantages of the town are many, and while the citizens have taken advantage of every oppirtiinity lo add to ils grow th and prtisperity, they hate al ways been hampered for want of railroad facilities. A new era is dawning, how ever, and unless ail indications are falla cious, the next twenty yearn will be the most prosperous Somerset low n and coun ty have ever experienced. Although Somerset was incororated as a borough in lso, yet it uppears that no l-K-al legislation w:n adopted until many ais later, or until May, i;ju.

The first burgess of w hom there is a record, was Jacob Schneider, who was elected iu lHiO. His successors have beeu chosen from leading men ofthe borough, including the present Lord Mayor, Wil liam II. Welilev, w ho is serving his six teenth term.

Lutheran ministers and delegate from Lutheran congregation throughout the Allegheny Synod were everywhere iu e i.l-iice, on the streets, iu tl.e temple of itorsliip aiiti in the homrs course there were inemls.TH of other denomina tions to lie seen, lait they discreetly preserved silence and gave the Lutherans full sway. Not only this, but they exert ed every effort te make the visiting cler gymen enjoy their week's stay in our mountain town; and if any left here with unkindly feelings for the people of Som erset, it must lie attributed to some other cause than a lack of hospitality. Allegheny synod embraces the terri tory of Somerset, Cambria, Clearfield, Blair, Huntingdon and Bedford counties, with ministers GO pastorates, 117 con gregations n,7.".i communicant mem-Is-rs lii.Ti; teachers and scholars in the Sunday schools. $12,021 for U-iievolcm-c and .:',!i'17.74 was raistsl for all pur poses during the year ending September 1, IKli.
