With water work contracted lor tod the pro bability of the plant being completed in six months, together with a brick manufacturer, a phopphato manufacturer and a silk manufactur er looking for ites here, the procpecta for Mid- bleburg pecni unusually bright, providing, of course, they all materialize. Annexation. In harmony with the spirit of promotion and the mutual advantage arising therefrom, it seems expedient that the borough of Middleburg and the town of Franklin should be united into one municipality. There are various opinions eiitcr tained by those most aflectcd by this proposition. There are tax payers on both sides of Middle creek for and agaiust the proposition. The advantages arising from the union of these towns are as strong in comparison to the num ber of people affected as was the union of States secured by the bloody battles of the Civil War Iet us cast aside our selfish feelings and narrow opinions and consider without prejudice the disadvantages of existing soperately and the utility and economy to both sides it Franklin is taken into the borough of Middleburg. The lhvaM correspondent of this place should remember that since the 11th of this month the newspapers have no "freedom" to celebrate ; so it is useless to appeal to them to urge a Fourth of July celebration. Poring this dry weather the Water Works would come in mighty handy to settle the dust and keep it out of our houses and buildings. We will wait till we get them, though. Statistics show that fiom 20 to 25 young men leave Middleburg every year to go elsewhere to find employment. The movement is both credit able and U-neficial to them, but it is neither cre ditable nor lioneficial to the town. The town has plenty of idle money to foster and promote industries and much vacant land to erect dwell incs and factories. i;t'..nt ..tTi.rinP- this means an increase of r0 in ten years. With the proliable offspring, the in.-reise would amount 10 1000 persons in ten years. POINTS TO HE MN8irF.RKl. 1. Manufacturers looking for sites find in atlases and census reports th.U Middleburg has only Til 3 inhabitants w hile they never see the names ol Franklin or !winetord, much less an accredited ivmulation. This Is true also of i 1 newspaper directories, and all other kinds of directories. 2. The school question. On account of the tjcbt on the school building, some of the tax pavers of Franklin may argue against annexation. No one will deny that if the children of Frank lin come to the Middleburg school, thereby making four schools, the grades will W much better for the town and Franklin pupils. Even if the expenses were higher, the advantages would tie fully compensated by the increased service. But it will not be higher for either side, Ix-t us see. Franklin is now maintaining two sthools and under the operation of the $00 minimum teachers' salary law the teaching force will cost $490 a year, plus about $40 for coal with au average of about $50 expense per year I for keeping the school building in repair or a total annual expense of $580 that the Franklin people must now jy for the maintenance of their two schools. By coming into the borough the only a Iditioual scoool expense would be one teacher hir sevcu months at $33 a mouth or $215 a year. Suppose ihclraiikhn pupils pay the borough the $380 they now ay to the main tain their schools, we could use $2 15 to pay the additional teacher and leave $335 to pay on the the debt. Now, frankly speaking under an equitable assessment it would not cost Franklin people as ni'ich as it does now for the reason that there is only $700 a year IWl and interest to ay now and it is getting less at the rate of $20 a year and anv one knows that Franklin's share of the debt would Ih; considerably less than $335, which is the amount they will have to pay to in Franklin township over and about what it will cost in the Ixtrough, exclusive of the bonded debt. The pupils can all In? cared for iu four rooms. The average attendance in the borough last year was 80; in Franklins two schools was about 60. The 130 pupils divided into 4 schools would average less than 33 for each teacher. Should the schools grow, class rooms can lie built at a very little additional expense, but this will not be needed while the bonded indebtedness lasts. 3. Franklin would have less road tax to pay, because there would le less miles to keep in re pair and the Uirough roads are in good condi tion. 4. Middleburg now gets nearly enough money from two hotel licensesto pay the water rent on 20 plugs. 5. The twenty plugs contracted for by the horoiifh are sufficient to supply Middleburg and Franklin both and it is only a matter of arrang ing with the water conqwiiy to divide the plugs. 6. The increased school facilities and the protection against fire by having the use of water and consequently, lower insurance rates; all is of great economy to the Franklin people, while Middleburg will enjoy lower school tax and better school facilities. Snyder Couuty now has the promise of an. other railroad along the Susquehanna river as a short cut for freight. BEAVER SPRINGS. 'Sir. and -M-.f-'-B- The public schools closed Thurs- DUNDORE.

You can state that the plot refer red to where the allotment of Lots is to lie made is located ai Jersey Shore Junction, opposite Depot. The Allotmeut will Iw made on or a'xiut June 20th, parties will lie notified iu due time. We have set aside 300 IaiUi which are seleeU-d from diflerent parts of the plot and the lots run 111 value from $50 to $200. The plan of allotment will he as follows: On joining the Club you pay $10 and receive the Company's receipt for same, winch amount will apply on the $32.50. At the time ot allotmeut you can pay balance $22.50, and get a deed tor your liot, or have a year (uuder contract) to my the balance in monthly pay tncnts. Each Certificate ol Membership iu the Club entitles the holder there of to one of these IjoU and Su some cases we have set aside two Lots and same will be given as one Ixtt to the holder ot ticket bearing numbers corresponding. (42 mem bers will get 2 lot for $32,. 50, 28 iiicnik.s will get 3 lots (or $32.50. The membership of the Club limited to the number of Ijots to lie alloted, and the more Certificates that are liought by each uidividiia member upon joining will limit the individual 'tiember ship. Each Member inducing seven menbers to join will receive a Ixil free, also it one niendier buys seven Lots at once he receives eight receipts, thus getting one lot free in this way, the Uital cost for the eight would be only $227.50, out ot the eight you would no doubt get at least three that would be worth from $100 to $150 each, and the balance averages about $75, thus making a splendid investment Ot course we loose on this dispo sal of these Ijots; but we calculate that the extra building that will be done on these Ix)ts will iucrease the value of our holdings and tliu make up the loss in the end. Should be pleased to have you join the Club, as a great many hav already joined, would alsj be picas ed to have you interestA'oitv fWends in this splendid opntifuuiityv You can seii nnlnJy orderor check or tluauiouTlt lfTjrstpay ment on anv nuihW'f ivoiiwisl'i to take up. ajiiLXtMHihit wilf be iar "warded to-voil Wopuiy mailed aui scaled.

The balance to p:iy would then be but $157.50 in Cish for deed, lor eight Iiols, or iu iiir-tallmcnts of about $1.88 per month, on seven, or total of about 13.25 per month of the w hole, until the balance of $157.50 is paid. fru-t we may have the pleasure of enrolling you as one of our mem bers.
