FOBS POISONED
FIVE PERSONS
From eating pork on Sunday the
family of Michael Driscoll.of 256 West
Mahoning street, became desperately
ill. Five children were affected es
pecially severely and one of them
nearly died as a result of the poison
ing.
The poik was served at Sunday din
ner. Mr Driscoll said at the time it
did not seem right but tho other mem
bers of the family ate heartily of it.
It was not long before the children be
came veiy sick Michael, Jr., Emanuel,
William, Julia and a b»by. Julia and
William suffered the most, tho former
being in a critical condition until Dr.
Carry, who attended the afflicted
family, succeeded in gaining her re
lief. A hypodermic injection was
necessaiy to secure rest for the child.
William was able to be out yesterday,
as was Michael, .I"-, who on Monday
was not able to work.
The poison that had deveolped in
the pork made the pain experienced
by members of the unfortunate family
intense. Now, however, all of them
are recovering.
The Old Grave Yard (irowe Worse
With improvement the rule of the
hour in Danville the time is surely
ripe for action in the matter of remov
ing the old graveyard at the Bloom
street crossing which in its wild, un
kempt appearance now looms up as an
especially undesirable place since it
stands just at the point where the new
trolley will let oil passengers from
Bloomsburg.
No one being kept to take caie of
the cemetery, there is no denying the
fact that its condition actually is dis
graceful. Possibly tiie operation of
the trolley line will draw to this point
people who seldom go there and will
cause them to learn what a bad thing
for the city this unkept burying
ground is.
The effort to raise a fund for a sol
diers' monument already has been not
ed and it has been recorded that the
movement so far as it went was fairly
successful. The public park project
foand favor, notwithstanding no de
finite action has boon taken. A com
bination of the two movements and a
little energy thrown in would work
wonders. The old graveyard would
make an admirable park, likewise a
desirable site for the proposed monu
ment. If those having in charge the
matter were to work more zealously
this fall and winter preparatory to
establishing a park and completing
the monument fund, a place of beauty
and a stately mark of respect for fall
en heroes miglit next spring supplant
the cemetery of which all persons
thoroughly interested in Danville's
welfare are ashamed.
Will Locate in Danville.
Miss M Florenco Moyer, the well
known pianist.arrived in this city yes
terday and is located at 200 Lower
Mulberry street.
Miss Moyer will make her home in
Danville and is organizing a music
class. She 's a graduate of several
conservatories and is ail accomplished
musician. She will take pupils on the
piano, organ, guitar and mandolin.
Miss Moyer is a granddaughter of
Prof. F. C. Moyer of the Frreburg
College of Music.
The Weigh Scales Re-Installed.
The weigh scales which were form
erly located at the corner of Mill and
Bloom streets,and which it was found
necessary to remove on acoount of the
street paving, will be reinstalled on
the triangular plot of ground at the
junction of Bloom and Walnut streets.
The excavation for the scales is now
completed, and the concrete Jwalls
nearly finished. The scales will be
placed in position by the end of this
week.
Pleasantly Entertained.
Mr. and Mrs. George R. Sechler

LOfIAL RELICS
OF ANTIQUITY
In ill accord with tho new Mill
street pavement, modern, substantial
and sightly,are those relics of the past
that darken tho entrances of so many
business houses—the antiquated,dingy
wooden coverings usod as awnings.
While the Council in voting public
improvements is alive to the needs of
an up-to-date city the merchants
should rise to the exigencies of the
time aud get in the line of progress.
These wooden coverings are not only
in the nature of obstructions and un
sightly objects, but they in faot are a
hindrance to the store people in keep
ing attractive plaoes of business, al
most totally excluding the light as
they do. Wake up, Danville basinets
men, and throw off these sombre cov
erings that seem likely to produce a
Rip Van Winkle sleep! Every wood
en awning should disappear before the
paving* work is finished so that Mill
street may become a sprightly, beauti
ful business thoroughfare.
Seven Hen Injured.
At Kingtown at 5 o'clock Sunday
evening two cars on ttie Philadelphia
& Reading railroad were derailed by
a broken flange aud the Oatawissa aud
Mahanov Plains wreck trains were
called out, the former arriving first
aud at ouce beginning work. One car
was loaded with iron two inches square
and 30 feet long, each bar weighing
500 pounds. The car tilted over when
derailed. Before it could be placed in
' position again some of the iron had to
be removed, aud when engaged in un
loading the iron seven men,all of Oat
awissa, were injured.
The removal of part of tho iron
lightened the weight of the partly
overturned car to such an extout that
the cat tilted back in place aud the
men working with the iron bars were
caught by them as they rolled in the
car.
Solomon Feustermacher sustained a
compound fracture of one of his legs,
the bones being crushed. He was tak
en to the Miners' Hospital, Ashlaud,
where his leg may have to beamputat
ed. John Bogert had an ankle bruis
ed and a hole cut iu his leg and George
Krumm also bruised an ankle aud
lacerated a leg. Mudget Fenstermach
er's right arm and shoulder were bruis
ed. Harry Campbell bruised aud cut
an ankle and leg and Superintendent
John McHardy sprainod both ankles
in jumping from the car. Cashier
William Vastiue, of the First Nation

Foot Ball Days.
Kali! Rah ! Rah !
The old goufalou is abroad in the
laud. The rallying cry of tlio foot ball
fellows haunts the air.
It is the cry of the strenuous life.
It is the spirit of the conquering
Anglo-Saxon that vents itself—the
spirit that has won victories from
Naseby and Marston Moor to San Juan
Hill.
That spirit ol the young American
cannot be downed save by emasculat
ing his life. It has in it the swing
and goof superabundant vitality. It
must voice Rolf. Your college boy is
no anchorite.
Rough ?
Yes, rough to the verge of brutality.
The sport is played by fellows with
red blood in their veins. Nerves court
the shock of battle. There's joy in it.
The anaemic and shrinking can have
no fellowship in tne fierceness of that
joy. It's in the blood.
Normal youth must go up against
something There's a fight in every
young, robust man. And the average
instinct is for a free fight aud no odds.
Foot ball affords an open field aud a
fair chance.
If it is not to be foot ball it will be
somethiug else an I maybe something
worse. The forces of life gather and
there must be veut.
Moreover—
The qualities required in football
are the manly finalities—fairness, quick
obedience, patience, alertness, force
ful onergy. These finalities will en
able the young man who tackles his
adversary to tackle the more serious
rush line of life's great foot ball garuo.
Rah ! Rah ! Rah !
It is the cry of the coming genera
tion—the sharp challenge to the fu
ture. You may deprecate the game.
Yon may disprove the play. But-
Yon cannot stop it.
Fell From Trees.
Thomas Kelly, who boards with
Mrs. Ellwell, Spruce street, was bad
lv hurt yesterday in a distressing ac
cident. Falling from an apple tree,
he sustained injuries almost all over
his body. Ho was picking apples for
Mrs. Ellwell whon his ladder slipped
and he was precipitated to the ground.
Dr. S. Y. Thompson gave him at
tention, finding him badly bruised,his
right shin lacerated, right wrist sprain
ed and a bone broken iu his left aim
above the wrist.
Dr. Thompson yesterday drove to
Valley township to see Thomas Dyer,
a man <55 years of age, who last Wed
nesday fell from a tree when the limb
he was standing on broke, and alight
ed on his batik on a large apple. For a
time ho was unconscious. He was
found holding the broken limb and a
hag of apples fastened aroond his neck
was lying on his breast. He was not,
dangerously hurt, hut his escape from
fatal injuries was undoubtedly a nar
row one.

FUST TROLLE?
CUR in DANVILLE
That nearly every one in Danville
desired to greet the appearance of the
first trolley car over the new road was
attested by the fact that shortly after
noon Monday crowds of citizens be
gan to gather in the vicinity of Bloom
street,above the Philadelphia & Hea l
ing railroad crossing, and remained
there eagerly looking toward Blooms
burg. At about 4:30 o'clock the size
of the assemblage increased to several
hundred persons, not counting scores
of children from the schools. At last
the long wait ended in disappointment
upon the arrival of a message that the
car would not. loave Bloomsburg until
six o'clock. The actual time of leav
ing Bloomsburg proved to be 8:20
o'clock in the evening.
It was about one year ago that the
difficulties of securing the right of
way over the proposed line were un
dergone. During last winter nothing
was done on the construction wo k,
audit was not until May 23rd that
grading was first begun on Bloom
street.
It was just twenty minntes after eight
o'clock last evening when W. F. Pas
coe took the charge of car No. 1 at
Market Squaro, Bloomsburg,aud start
ed on the first trial run over the new
line.
The first stop was made at the Fish
ing Creek bridge, where considerable
pains were taken to thoroughly test
the frog and sharp curve at this
poiut. About twenty minutes were
spent there aud everything was found
to be in first class working order. The
progress from this point into Danville
was necessarily slow, frequent stops
being made to clear obstacles from the
tracks. Many of the crossings bad fce
couie covered with weeds and d'rt and
had to be cleared, aud in places the
trees projected over the track in such
a way that it was necessary to trim
them before the car could proceed.
All along the route as the car's shrill
whistle heralded its approach wind
ows were thrown up,and night-capped
heads appeared, to call a welcome to
the trolley. When tho car reached
Danville at 10:50 many of those who
were waiting earlier in the evening
had returned home, but a large crowd
quickly gathered as soon as it became
known that tho car was on Bloom
street.
From an engineering standpoint the
trial trip was an unqualified success.
The car lode as smoothly on the tracks
as a vestibuled limited. No electrical
leakages were discovered,and tlie volt
age was constant and maximum
throughout the run. One of the men
on board the car who has had twenty
five years of engineering experience
and who has been on "dozens of trial
trolley runs stated la-t evening th it
never had he seen a test trip that left
so little to be desired.
Those who accompanied General
Superintendent Pascoe on the trial run
last night were: Arthur L. Davis,
Superintendent of the Danville and
Bloomsbnrg lino, Milton Pascoe, as
sistant engineer of the construction
company, L. P. Bains of the construc
tion company, W. P. Condon, repre
senting the Keeler Boiler Company,
J. M. Stead of the Quaker City Belt
Company,and Alfred Armstrong of the
Car Advertising Company. Charl.s
Kloim,Lawrence Tooley.Bart. Beistle
and George H. Keider of Bloomsburg ;
Harry Mensch of Rupert, Harry Pat
ton of Danville and Theodore R.
Angle,representing tin 1 Morning News.
After the car had beei. safely laud
ed at the Philadelphia <fc Reading
tricks Mr. Pa«coe took about a hun
dred Danville citizens to Mechinio6-
ville ami return. The party greailv
enjoyed the ride, and returned about
midnight.
Surprise Party.
Mr. ami Mrs. Hilkert were tendered
a surpriso party at their home near
Mooresburg on Saturday last. An ex
cellent dinner was served. Those pres

Engineer Leonard Mere.
Engineer Leonard, who has cliaige
of the construction of uhe bridge here,
arrived in Danville from Philadelphia
yesterday. Only one County Com
missioner was on hand and the Solic
itor also was away, so no action was
taken in the matter of building a wall
at the river bank.
A Love Letter

STORES OPEN
AT NIGHT
Many of the leading stores of Dan
ville that wore closed evenings daring
the summer mouths Monday eve again
began doing business alt er the sapper
hoar and the patronage in all of them
was good.augoring well for fall trade.
The merchants are very hopeful for a
(successful season, provided the weath
er is favorable. The resumption of
night work in the stores presages the
advent of King Winter, brisk times
and the holiday season. The storos
will be open evonings un til the first of
the year.
Beverly Musselman, of the Globe
store, who is a leading spirit in get
ting favorable conditions for the clerks
through the Morning News, expresses
to the merchants and public the ap
preciation of the clerks for the sum
mer relief from night work. He in
formed a Morning News representative
last night that an effort will likely be
made in December to again secure re
lief from night work in January, Feb
ruary and March, which are dull
months and during which the business
at nights is uot sufficient to compens
ate for the confinement of the clerks
during the evenings.
Y. M. C. A. Notes.
The mining town of Douglas, Ari
zona, on the southwestern frontier,
which doubled its population last year
and now has 6,000 people,mostly men,
is to have a Y. M. C. A. clubhouse
costing $20,000. It will help to relieve
the hard conditions of life in this raw
town, where the saloon is the popular
meeting place. The El Paso and South
western Company has recently offered
$5,000 toward this building, and one
of the smelter companies has contribut
ed an equal sum, and it is expected
that at least SIO,OOO will be secured
from business men and miners in the
camp. Great interest has been man
ifested in the project by the men,who
demand a popular headquarters and a
chance to spend their spare time in de
cent surroundiugs. C. G. Titus, a
Topoka, Kan., man who has been sec
retary there for six years is to shape
the new organization. Mr. Titus is
the kind of man who ought to make
the Association a popular place iu
such a town. Before becoming an As
sociation secretary ho had a general
experience as messenger bjy, boot
black, farm baud, student, newspaper
reporter, and policeman aud deputy
sheriff. He thoroughly understands
the conditions of life in a Westorn
mining camp, which that Association
will bo expected to meet.
Fire at Watsontown.
The large planing mill of J. H.
Wagner & Co., at Watsontown, was
destroyed by fire Saturday afternoon,
a small roof blaze being discovered at
12:40 o'clock and within twenty min
utes being fanned into a fury by tho
high wind. The Milton and Watson
town fire department both combatted
the flames, but all of tho mill build
ings were destroyed, also the lumber
piles near the Philadelphia and Erie
track and a large brick house belong
ing to the planing mill company.
Three families occupiod the house
and lost practically all of their belong
ings. the family of Bruce Ulrioli, that
of Wilson Straub and of a man named
Young. Several other houses got afire
but tho small blazes were quickly ex
tinguished. The total fire loss is about
175,000, on which there is $33,000 in
surance. The Wagner mill was one of
Watsontown s leading industries and
was rushed with orders, so the loss to
the town will be great.
In Sun bury Jail
Dora Susnushie, a deaf aii(l dumb
inmate of the Shamokin and Coal
township alms house for the past two
years, Saturday was dismissed from
that institution on account of bad be
havior, having beaten another inmate,
Mrs. Annie Zebroshie and others, and
being a general disturber.
The girl was brought to this coun
try several years ago by her brother
August, and soon after, August and
another brother, Michael, got into a
law suit over the care of the unfortun
ate girl,and the court ruled that neith
er could be held responsible for her
care, and she became a charge on the
township poor board and was sent to
the alms house where she caused al
most continuous trouble. Saturday,
after being dismissed from the alms
house, she went to the home of her
brother Michael, who refused to take
her in.
She was later arraigned before Just
ice McCormick, on information made
at the instance of the poor board, and
was committed to tho Suubury jail.

Carlisle Indians vs. Bucknell.
The annual foot ball contest between
the Carlisle Indians and Bucknell, is
scheduled to be played at Williams
port, Saturday October Bth. Special
rates have been arranged on the rail
roads. The game will bo played at
Athletic Park. Both teams are more
nearly equal in weight than at any
time since they have been playing to
gether and this should insure an open
and more spectacular game than here
tofore.
Tenth Anniversary Celebration.
New Freedom Conclave, No. 310 of
Heptasophs.of N<-w Freedom,last Fri
day evening held their tenth anniver
sary celebration and had an excellent
entertainment in recognition of tho
addition of forty new members. B.
P. Harris, of this city, was toastmas- !
ter and his daughter, Miss Mary Jane
Harris, rendered a piano solo.
RALLY DAY
AT ST. PAUL'S
Rally Day was observed by the Snu
day School of Saint Haul's Methodist
Episcopal church Sunday afternoon
with special exercises that were both
interesting and appropriate.
The special features on the program
were beautifully rendered. Misses
Olive and Mabel Rank sang a duet,
after which the pastor, Rev. S. B.
Evans, made a short missionary ad
dress. A solo by Miss Mary Sidler was
followed by the rendition ot "Does
Jesus Care?" by a quartette consisting
of O. R. Schilling, Frank Brown, Mrs.
Will Brown and Mrs. Fisher. Two
classes, one of boys and one of girls,
were then brought, from the infant
room,and al'terjreciting the command
ments in unison they were admitted
into the senior department.
The Rev. S. B. Evans' class of men
had the largest number in attendance
yesterday and was therefore declared
the banner class. The first Sunday in
every mouth at the St. Paul's Sunday
School is called Missionary Sunday
and the collections are devoted to mis
sionary work, it is the intention ot
the officers of the school to present a
banner to the class that on Missionary
Sunday has the largest number in at
tendance and the largest offering. This
class will be called the uanner class
and will retain tha banner until the
next Missionary Sunday, when there
will be another competition.
Corn Crop is Dimished.
The corn crops hereabouts are uot
up to the standard this year. Heavy
frosts have gotten in their work and
in consequence in this section the
crop will be from 10 to 20 per cent,
below normal, which is practically the
same condition existing in other parts
of the country.
The potato crop this 5 ear is a large
one. Unfortunately many of the tub
ers are rotting. A blight seems to fol
low the plant right down into the
ground. The farmers who have suc
ceeded in maturing the potatoes before
this blight reached them will not lose
so heavily.
The Office of Coroner.
The county commissioners at their
annual convention put themselves on
record in favor of two important re
forms. They advocate the abolition of
the office of county coroner. Inasmuch
as inquests can bo held by justices
there is 110 need of aa otlicer to travel
about tho county receiving mileage
and additional pay to perform work
that can be done just as well or better,
at a very much less cost. They alto
favor doing away with tho triennial
assessment.

You Never Know the Moment When Thi3
Information May Prove of Infinite
Value.
It is worth considerable to any
citizen of Danville to know how to be
cured of painful, annoying itching
piles. Know then that Doan's Oint
ment is a positive remedy for ail itchi
ness of the skin, for piles, eczema.etc.
One application relieves and soothes.
Hi ad this testimony of its merit:
D. C. Williams, slater, of 201 Lower
Mulberry St., says:"l used Doan's
Ointment gome years ago and found it
a most eAcrllfiit remedy for tho par
pose for which it is intended. It is
the only remedy I ever found which
gave me permanent relief from itch
ing piles from which I had suffered
for a long time. Anyone who has ever
had piles knows what suffering I en
dured before I used Doan's Ointment.
The burning and itching was almost
intolerable night and day, and al-
though I tried dozens of ointments,
salves and lotions I got no relief. I
heard so much about Dean's Ointment
that I procured a box. The first ap
plication gave me almost instant relief
and in a short time I was cured. That
was eight years ago and I have had no
return of the exasperating affliction
since. I recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills highly.
Plenty more proof like this from
Danville people. Call at druggists and
ask what their customers report,
cents per box. Foster-Milburu Co.,

Report on Bridge.
The Grand Jury in Sunbury court in
their report Saturday afternoon, con
firmed tho report of the viewers on
the Northumberland bridge and unless
an appeal is taken beforo the first of
December tho bridge will be free. It is
not likely that an appeal will be tak
eu. The credit ot making the bridge
freo belongs to tho Merchants' As
sociation of Sunbury and the North
umberland Board of Trade. Attorney
H. S. Knight represented the petition
ers.
A Busy Scene.
Mill street was a busy looking
thoroughfare on Saturday night de
spite the torn up coudition of tho side
walks. The people were out in full
force.
Tho theatre drew many people out
and the advent of fall shopping gave
tho stores all they could handle. As
has recently b<!en tho rule there was
little disorder and the police had a
quiet time of it.

Pushing on the Grading.
The grading of the State highway
from the Borougli linn to the Valley
township line, through Mahoning
township, has progressed to within 200
yards of the end ot the stretch of road.
EXPERTS MAKE
MANY ADMISSIONS
The continuation of the heariug in
the grade crossing matter again drew
an interested crowd to the Court House
on Saturday when the railroad side of
the case was nearly completed. Ex
pert testimony was again adduced,but
the admissions gained from the experts
by the counsel tor the trolley company
were of a nature to help the trolley
people, the sharp cross examination
establishing that in Scranton, a city
where the D. L. & W. traffic is ex
tremely heavy, there are many grade
crossings necessarily more dangerous
than the Mill street one could ever be.
After disposing of several minor af
fairs Judge Little called the crossing
case at 1t:45 o'clock Saturday morning
and Ex-Senator Herring opened it by
calling the Court's attention to the
fact that Expert Wright was under
cross examination 011 Friday when the
afternoon session was adjourned. It
was agreed that the railroad counsel
will recall him later if the trolley peo
ple desire to continue his examination.
The first witness called by Attorney
MeCliutock was E. B. Reed, of Scran
toil, a street railway engineer, who
said an overhead crossing at Mill street
is possible. He advocates one of single
post construction. The maps and plans
again were produced to try to establ
ish that the grade of the proposed over
head crossing would not be excessive.
The witness gave SIO,OOO as an esti
mate of the cost of a Mill street over
head crossing and $12,000 for either
the Ferry street or alley route. Attor
ney Scarlet's questioning revealod the
fact that an overiiead crossing in Mill
street would mean the construction of
a block of coucreto about 400 feet long,
all told, right in the main business
thoroughfare. The cross examination
further established that water mains,
poles,wires and cables all would have
to be dealt with.
"Have you any grade crossings in
Soranton?" queried Mr. Scarlet. The
anwser was: "At twenty different
points; and over four tracks cars pass j
eacli way every 7}4 minutes from 5 a
in.to 1 a. ni." The next question of
the tiolley counsel was objected to and
tlio Court sustained the objection, so j
the witness did not have to tell how
many trolley accidents have occurred
in teu years on the grade crossings at
Soranton. The next admission secur
ed from the witness was that on the
Scranton trolley line there are only
five or six overhead crossings and these
are not in the built-up part of the
town. Engineer Reed was 011 the stand
nearly an hour.
Lincoln Bush, of East Orange, N.
J., chief engiueer of the D. L. & W,.
gave a lengthy recital of his engineer
ing experiences and tried to show that
an overhead crossing would be a good
thing for Danville. Engineers Begg,
Moser and Dowdy were called next to
prove maps and plans from their notes.
Then Chief Engineer Bush again took
tho stand to state his opinion that de
railing devices are not efficient. His
! estimate of the cost of a Mill street
overhead crossing is $'.1,000; $12,000 tor
Kerry street and more thau $12,000 for
1 the alley route. The cross examina
tion clearly demonstrated that the
overhead trolley crossings are not with
out elements of danger and Mr. Bush
was obliged to state that in Scranton
four of tho D. L. & W. tracks are
crossed at tirade.
Engineer A. H. Dietil, the next wit
ness, admitted that without the con
sen J of the Borough Council the over
head crossing could not be made and
that. the presence of water mains,
poles, wires and cables are all ob
structions in the way of the construc
tion of such a crossing. Then it de
veloped that not knowing the soil,
whether full of quicksand and the like,
the costs of the construction of the
crossing can not be estimated and the
estimates given aie inconsequence not
to bo depended upon.
Attorney Hinckley called the next
railroad witness, Patrick Dowling.the
D. L. & W.'s general road master, of
Sorauton, who rehearsed the doings of
Thursday night, September 22 and who
made tho charge that Paseoe's men
worked aftor the injunction was serv
ed. On cross examination he said the
only work the trolley men did was to
lower a joint to make the crossing
safe and they did it with his consent
and Superintendent Kino's. The ques
tion arose as to tho trolley men work
ing on tho D. L. & W. right of way
and tho witness could not exactly tell
what is the right of way there.
Jerry Diueen, the next witness,who
tended the Mill street gates,told noth
ing of interest, but Daniel Marsden,
who told of the ride from Northum
berland made a number of admissions,
one that the train was running with
out red light, only a white lantern be
ing on a box car. The box cars were
poshed in front of tho engine. lie al
so admitted that the train was stopped
by a red danger signal but proceeded
even after the piled up ties were seen
in the hope of knocking them from the
track. Tho agent at Northumberland,
ho testified, gave the order to ruu the
cars ahead of the engine.
W. A. Clark,assistant special agent,
throw no more light on the case and
shortly after 12 o'clock the court ad
journed to 1:30 p. m. .just after J. M.
Casey had been called to the stand.
At the afternoon session Casey re
lated the incidents of the frog-laying
work. Then adjournment was taken
to next Friday at 9:80 a. tn. .when the
trolley people, who have called all of
their witnesses,will bo allowed to pro
duce letters written by the railroad to
the trdloy company. The hearing of
the trolley side will then be taken up.
It is probable the number of witnesses
will not be large but the testimony
will be exhaustive.

R F I) Routes are Increasing
A second successful year for the rural
free deilvery system in Montour coun
ty closed last week, on September 30.
The R. F. D routes are especially
serviceable for the people living far
from post offices and all of the farmers
are warm in their praise of it. That
the rural delivery system has given
satisfaction and proven a great con
venience is evidenced by an increase
in the mail handled in this section,
which has been followed bv alike
growth of the number of routes. In
fact there are now just about twice as
many of them as there were a year
"go.
There is no gainsaying that it is a
very fine thing for the men on the
farm to be able to take an hour after
breakfast for looking over his city
newspaper, fresh from the press and
received the same morniug it is pub
lished. When it is recalled that the
news oven of his own section hitherto
did not reacli the farmer until it was
a couple days old it can roadily be un
derstood that the rural free delivery
means something to the country folks,
giving them equal advantages with
their city friends so far as mail facil
ities go.
