Rockwell New Sunny South company played to the capacity of the house. Every seat was sold before the curtain was raised, everything on the program was carried out just as it was ad vertised, in fact the company gave the best of satisfaction. The sing- ing was excellent, especially the two quartets, the buck and wing dancisg, coon shouting, and sketch teams were up to date, the best that was ever seen in this town. The company is composed of all colored people, 25 in number, The band called a great deal of atten tion in the parade and the orches- tra was up to date, It isa rare treat we seldom experience to wits ness an up to date company of colored people. We understand the lccal manager is trying to am range a return date." — Ogdensburg (N.Y ) Daily Republican, Tuesday, Nov. 6, 19¢6. This company will appear at the Loomis opera house, Thursday evening, Dec. 6. Sayre mathematicians are racks iog their brains over a problem which reached this placed yester- day. Here it is, but unless you have plenty of time to spare and have no fear of the mad house, don’t tackle it. A man sells a horse for $90. He immediately buys the animal back for $80 Then he sells again.and this time gets $100 Now the question is, tions?

A meeting of the Sayre Fire Large Amount of Testimony Taken and Decision Is Re- The hearings in the cases of John charged by M. A, Evans of Pen. nyville with maintainiog a public nuisance in havisg placed an obs struction at both ends of a public highway, known as the Farrell road, were held before Justice Carey yesterday afternoon, The entire afternoon was consumed in listening to the evidence and hear- ing the arguments ol counsel for the commonwealth and the defend ants. Messrs. Maynard, Maynard & Schrier represented the common- wealth, while the interests of the defendants were looked after by William Maxwell, Esq, of Towan- da and Attorney David Fanning of Troy The case is not oaly exceedingly interesting from a legal standpoint, but it is a most novel one. While the facts were practically admitted by both sides, cight witnesses were sworn yesterday afternoon in each case by the commonwealth, were put on the stand for the pur pose of showing that the Farrell road is an ancient highway which has been open to the public for at least fity years, until over a year ago, when the township commis- sioners decided to close it, on the grounds that it was little used and therefore burdensome to the tax- payers. Certain residents of Ridge- bury were not satisfied with the decision of the commmissioners and foreign commissioners were called to review the situation. They agreed with the home commission- ers and the latter closed up the road at both ends by erecting a fence constructed of boards. Later a stump fence was erected and travel was effectually stopped. Those opposed to the closing of the road secured a writ of cer- tiorari, and the matter was thus brought to the attention of Judge Fanning. This was over a year ago. Monday afternoon the judge handed down a decision in the mat- ter, in which he sustains the action of the commissioners, and this decision was the only evidence of- fered by the defendants at the hearing yesterday. Their attor Deys insisted that when the foreign commissioners decided that the road should be closed the home commissioners had a perfect right to place an obstruction ia the road in such a manner that travel would be impossible. Oa the other hand the attorneys for the common- wealth insist that the case wis still peading in court on certiorari pro- proceedings and that until a jodi- cial decision was secured the com- missioners should have permitted the road to remain open. The case contains many fine legal points, and the decision rendered by Judge Fanning on Monday will be ap- pealed from. After listening to the evidence Justice Carey ad- journed until Wednesday, Decem- ber 12, at which time he will ren der a decision in the matter, The offense with which the de- fendants are charged is an indict~ able one, being a misdemeanor under the statute. They were permitted to return to their homes yesterday afternoon on their own recognizance. THE HOLIDAY SEASON The holiday season is already under way, and many Sayre stores are taking on an attractive appears ance. From mow on until Christe mas there will be something doing every minute. The display this year will be larger than ever, and it will take a large army of clerks i i OF SCHOOL BOARD ly of a Routine Nature The regular monthly meeting of the Sayre borough school directs ors was held in the high school building last night, but with the exception of the usual routine but little business was transacted. Directors Thompson, Whittle, Maddock, Cook, Hutchinson and Shedden answered to the roll call, and after the reading of the min: utes Tax Collector Plumstead turned over to the treasurer of the board the sum of $246.67 collected taxes. The salaries for the teach- ers and janitors were paid, and the Christmas vacation was fixed to begin oa December 21 and con- tinue until January 7, 150;. Superintendent Stetler recom- mended the purchase of at least 150 camp chairs to be used for the various entertainments that are held from time to time in the high school hall. The purchase of the chairs, says Mr, Stetler, will obvi- ate the necessity of borrowing every time the occasion demands it. After discussing trusts and the truant law to some extent the board adjourned, TRUANCY LAW T0 BE ERFORCED Parents and Pupils Will Be Called to Account When the Latter Fail to Attend School At the school board meeting held last night it developed that one boy, who is supposed to attend school regularly, had been absent 34% days during the present term of 60 days. Another had been absent 3214 days during this time, another 284 days, and two broth- ers have had business somewhere else for a period of 22 days each during the sixty days. Whether the boys are playing “hookey" on their own account or the parents are to blame will be ascertained by the truant officer, and in either event there will be something do- ing as the board is determined to compel pupils to attend school with regularity and as the compul- sory educational law directs. Steps will be taken immediately to bring thé matter to the attention of the truant officer. CASE APPEALED The case of G. F. Carling versus H. A. Kaufman, which was heard by Justice Carey about three weeks ago, and in which Carling secured a judgment for $39 00 and costs, was yesterday appealed to the court of common pleas. Carls ing did dental work for Kaufman to the amount of the judgment and Kaufman refused payment on the ground that Carling failed to per- form the entire contract. Kaufman in taking his appeal makes affidavit to the effect that it is not for the purpose of delay but because he verily believes that an injustice has been done. “Nothing but fun and music” seems to be the motto of “The Sunny South,” which will appear at the local Opera House Thurs. day evening, Dec. 6.
