The Glowing Future of the New Town has Started a Scramble for Water Works and OTHER FRANCHISES! Advance Signs of Prosperity that are Stirring up Both Capital and Enthu siasm. Zelienople is sure to have tine water work J and an electric light plant in the very near.futcre. Two bodies of capital ists are already contending to build, own and operate a water works adequate tor both the old and the new town. Construction of the new industries con tinues to go on rapidly. Tho w ills of the grinding and mixing mills tor the big Black ham Works are already up. and the foundations are in for the company's other huge structures The five different manufacturing enter prises will require not less than 5tK) work men, but there is much anxiety as to whether there will be homes sufficient to house the families of the workmen who will be employed in the new industries, since there are no empty dwellings in the old town and no provision has been made for the immense in flow of people that must necessarily come early iu the fall. But the Zelienople Extension Company has everything in readiness for its first public sale ot lots, commencing July 15, and will eucourage immediate, numerous and rapid building of homes by keeping the prices and terms of lots away below the prices and terms at which good real estate was ever known to sell. Two of the new industries have orders alrsady booked, and must keep everything moving at a lively rate in order to got in position to fill them. It is said that lots will not be sold at the very low prices to any who wish to buy solely for speculation There must be room and home* for 8,000 additional people, and it will take wonder ful hustling to provide them; for even now, when there is virtually no manufacturing in Z-lienople, homes are not to be bad.

AN AUCTION SALt in the N Y Wholesale Dry Goods centre is quite a different afiair from one around here—there hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of one kind of goods are sold in a few hours. There were two auction sales there a short time ago, on two successive days, and we attended both of them and bought largely on account of the character and quality of the silks and the prices they were sold at. As a result thereof we submit the following— greatest values ever offered to any people:— Black Broche Taffetas, 23.J in ches wide, 50c. —such extra wide and good silks as half a dollar never bought before. Five lots choice silks: Black Satin Dnchesse, Black Faille Fraocaise, Black Satin Rhadame, Black Peau de Soie, Black Gros Grain, —all at 50c a yard—silks with tone anil character like the dollar kinds. Plain Black Habutai Silks. 24 iuches wide, 25c. We hope you will send for samples of any of the above goods you are interested in—such goods at the prices should hold interest for every woman—and you'll get them by return mail, and they'll prove if what we've said here doesn't—that they're the most desirable silks equal money ever bought.
