Councilmen Lacey, Sam- uels, Burns, West, Evans, Hassler, Hulett and Heverly answering to roll call. The session was of short duration but considerable business was transacted, though of a rather unimportant nature. James Lyons, first assistant en- gireer of the Sayre fire department, appeared before the council with reference to the automatic or “shut- offi” nozzles which the council contemplates purchasing for the use of the department. The price for each nczz'e is $170, and some of the members of the council thought this amount rather high. It was decided to write the coms fhort, But Con- Business Was 4, 1906. CANVASSING FOR NEW DIRECTORY The Vick Publishing Company Work Representatives of the Vick Pub- lishing Company, of Rochester, N, Y., are busily engaged in canvas- sing the residential districts of Sayre, Waverly and Athens in the interests of a new directory for the towas which will probably be ready for delivery by the middle of Jan- dary. The business districts have already been canvassed by the firm and as soon as the residence por- tions are taken care of the work of compiling the copy for the printer will begin, The mechanical work wil! be done in this valley and the residents are promised what they really never had before, a complete and thoroughly upto date direct. ory.

Williams, The rabbit hunters have retired to seclusion for another year, with the exception of those who have no fear of the law. The season has been fairly good, but it is ad- mitted on all sides to be entirely too short. It should be length- ened. Last night was the coldest of the season, the thermometer going well down toward zero, Ice has formed rapidly during the past twenty-four hours and carly skating is promised, much to the delight of the small boy, and for that matter many of the older ones. Shirley Culpepper and Ed Ellen, the two southern youths who ar rived here yesterday morning stranded, will probably secure work in the silk mill at Athens, ] Chief Walsh communis pany with the view of getting this price reduced. During the dis- cussion it developed that the nozzles had not been given a fair test by th: department, aad it was suggested by one of the councils men that the borough lockup be set on fire and thus an excellent opportunity would be afforded to give the nozzles a practical test. All the members of the council appeared to favor this scheme, Members of the fire department present asserted that if the lockup were set on fire it would te a diffi. cult matter to get anyone to do anything toward saving it from the flames. Mr, Lyons also reported that the Hook and Ladder Co. were compelled to draw their truck to and from fires by hand, and as this was a laborious task, requested that the council provide means whereby the truck could be handled in an casier manner. The council promised to look into the matter. H. D. Angell informed the council that he would permit the erection of a small building on his lot on the east side, which wou!d thus give the department a lose house in that locality, It was decided to ask the gas company for a light in front of the lockup, and this brought forth a suggestion on the part of Councils man Samuels that the alley run- ning between Desmond street and Elmer avenue should be provided with lights, A bill for $17.10 for repairs on the borough lockup was presented and ordered paid. The telephone company also presented a bill to the council for telephone messages for the police department. The bill amounted to $1 65, and it was decided to apply it as a credit on the amount the telephone company owes the borough for failing to remove a pile of dirt on Lockhart street when the company placed their wires under ground last sum- mer, The sewer matter was laid over until the 26th of the preseat moath as the ordinance carrying the prop osition had not been prepared on account of the contracts with the Lehigh not having been closed up Before adjournment the council made arrangements to borrow the sum of $4.200 with which to meet current expenses, DECREASED NET EARNINGS The Lehigh Valley reported for October a gain of $145,000 in gross earnings, but a decrease of g$15000in net. This was more than offset, however, by gains in other income, so that the total in- come for the month shows a gain of $39,000 or about three per cent. October is the first month of the present fiscal year for which the Lehigh Valley has reported de creased net earnings. William's Carbolic Salve With Arnica and Witch Hazel lived its days of usefulness. Since its publication many changes, both in the residential and busi ness districts, have taken place, and it is therefore no longer to be relied upon for accurate information The Vick Publishing company have therefore decided to compile a directory at a particularly oppor- tune time, and as they are thor oughly acquainted with the work by reason of long years of experi- ence, the residents of Sayre, Ath- ens and Waverly are assured of a directory that will be complete and accurate in all its details. The new directory will contain much important information which has heretofore not appeared in similar publications. Great care is being exercised to obtain correct data from responsible persons, and the citizens of the valley are earnestly requested to give the representa- tives all the assistance they can along this line, BIDDERS WANTED The postmaster at Sayre has been directed by the second assists ant postmaster general of Wash. ington, D.C, to advertise for ten days by public notice so as to best draw general attention, for bids to carry the mails on messenger route between the present site of the postoffice and the Waverly, Sayre & Athens Traction Co. at Sayre, cach way as often as re- quired, bids to be received by the postmaster in sealed envelopes. Blanks for making the bids will be furnished upon application to the postmaster at Sayre. The service will not be let for any stated pericd and no formal writs ten contract with bond is required Messengers must be over sixteen years of age and suitable to be en trusted with the care of the mails A mail messenger may resign at any time by giving the second assistant postmaster general writ. ten notice thirty days before the time he intends to cease service. SIATION BROKEN OPEN The Lehigh Valley station at Oaks, N. Y., was broken into by unknown burglars om Sunday evening. The door to the waiting room was broken in with a sleigh bolster. Several boxes of freight and express were broken open but nothing was taken except a suit of clothes belonging to the station agent. Oa the same night the New York Central station at the same place, a store and the postoffice were entered by thieves but they failed in securing anything of much value, The Lehigh detectives are at work on the case, e—t WILL PLAY Poul a match game of pool at Hensen's parlors on Lockhart street this ev eningat 7:30 o'clock. The game is the result of a controversy among the friends of both men and A $20 purse will be awarded to the dressed finale, “The Bogus Prince,” in which laughable low comedy and refined operatic singing made a pleasing contrast. The Turners, James and Louise, made uproarious laughter in their skating sketch, Drake and Carring- | ton had some laughable nonsense, | the ladies’ quartette sang charm- | ingly, the musical girls contributed a sightly bit of melody and cos- | tume and the orchestra deserves a special mention both for its intelli- geat incidental music, which added one-half to the effectiveness of the stage work, and for its excellently played overtures, good models for many white orchestras to follow, Altogether, it is safe to say that if Mr. Rockwell ever brings this company of colored folks here again he will be greeted with a crowded house. —Portland, Me.
