THIRD EDITION
TAMAQUA.
From the
to
A Few Interesting I'nragniphs
Old Town.
Much has been said and written of
Tamaqua as "Sleepy Hollow," but like Rip
Van Winkle sho may yet nriso and vlo with
many of tho more pretentious towns of tho
county. True, tho Carter shops, which woro
tho largest In this ecction of tho state, aro
idle, but our people find employment In the
-mlnm alnnff tho vallev and wo manage to
set along, although the mines about tho town
nro liko tho "pcnltonttarica" in other parts of
-the county.
Hut tlioro was a tlmo when Tamaqua was
the leading coal town In tho county. "Aye,
nnd those were times too. my boy 1" There
were tho Donaldson, tho Ileaton & Carter,
tho Ratcliff A Johnson, tho Colo & Berbcck,
ami manv others I can't recall now, but
didn't thoy put somo llfo into things I
There Is plenty coal In tho Tamaqua field
yet, and tho very best kind, too; but it can't
bo mined profitably now bcoauso tho mines
lio too deep. But In this ago of electricity
and alacrity will soon devise means by which
this dark wealth will bo brought to tho
surface and Tamaqua will rut on tho Sunday
clothes again.
But Tamaqua, somo people say is slow,
Look about you and see what tho Tamaqua
Manufacturing Company is doing In tho form
of firo plugs. Look at tho fire plugs in
Bhcnandoah and ask tho people who purchaBO
them where they Btand in comparison
others. This is no advertisement, but
plain statement of facts that as dead
Tamaqua may be in tho minds of somo sho is
still maintaining an admirable industry,
Then there is tho brass foundry. Last
week It had an advertisement covering
whole page in ono of tho town papcre. That
wasn't so slow, was it? Thoro seems to mo
to bo a breczo of enterprise about that,
Then add a shoe factory, which Shcnan
doah, tho largest town in tho county, nor
Fottsvillo, tho county seat, can boast of.
From a basis of citizenship our town is all
lieht. but like many other places wo aro
hampered by a spirit of jealousy. We have,
In fact, a pretty town and tho opening of now
.streets and recent building havo by no means
marred its appearance. To credit of thoso
who own their own homes it should bo
stated that every layer In their buildings
show substantial work. They aro dwellings
not shells coverod by adulterated paint and
green goods paper.
True we are not thoroughly metropolitan.
but our streets aro in good condition gen-1
crally and the borough government Is in
good and economical hands. And wo havo
no Poles or Uuns.
But there Is ono thing upon which I must
take water. The other day a visitor who
passed the Presbyterian church paid special
attention to tho church yard. Ho remarked
that the graves of J. Edward Barnes and
Duncan Weir wero in a sad condition. He
was right. The tombstones of these two
graves rest against a wall. Have tho people
of Tamaqua bo soon forgotten theso two
worthy men who were deprived of their
lives by tho foul gas mines?
Hon. Michael Beard has just passed as I
am writing this. Almost everybody in
Schuylkill county knows of whom I speak.
Ho is quito feeble and almost blind. At ono
time he was the leading Democratic poli
tician of this place. He still wears a suit of
dark blue clothes, with swallowtail coat and
brass buttons. D. L. Y.
