PLEASANT MOUNT.
The 3-ltli annual commencement
Inst week nt Pleasant Mount, In
connection with tho High school of
that place, passed off with tho usual
success. Instead of the usual Sun
day morning service the baccalaur
eate sermon wns delivered in the
Presbyterian church on Sunday
evening by Rev. William Usher, and
a special choir furnished the music.
The drama was presented on Tues
day evening before an audience that
taxed the capacity of the hall. Dr.
Wlvall's orchestra of Forest City
furnished very acceptable music for
that evening. The "Old New Hamp
shire Home" proved a wise selection
nnd wns presented In a manner that
gave proof of some considerable
skill and talent. Receipts of play
amounted to eighty-five dollars.
On Wednesday evening the grad
uating exercises were the event of
interest. The class composed of
Misses Mary and Sadie O'Ncll and
Alary Allen, Minnie Giles and Bert
Kennedy were assisted in their ex
ercises by Aliss Usher, who gave a
piano solo, and Supt. Koohler, who
addressed the class, presented the
diplomas, and the Aleredlth quar
tette, who furnished music.
One of the specially pleasing
features of the exercises on Wednes
day evening was the singing by the
Meredith quartette of Carbondale.
This quartette, composed of Alessrs.
Ball, Duffy, Gramer and Shepherd,
with AI. Firth, accompanist, Is a
new organization and gave their
Initial concert in Carbondale some
three weeks since, with very nat
tering success. The following let
ter, copied from the Carbondale
Leader, explains how they came to
choose their name and will also
show why the name is of double in
terest in this place, the former
home of General Aleredlth.
Air. R. R. Gramer,
Carbondale, Pa.
My Dear Sir: In proposing the
name, "The .Meredith Quartette,"
for your organization, I have1 in
mind the commemoration In this way
of a name that should mean con
siderable in the history and tradi
tion of this region, though there Is
not any recognition of it in the
nomenclature of the city. Sam. Mere
dith, a Brig. Gen. in the Col. Army,
and the first treasurer of the United
States, was granted a tract of land
by the Penn heirs, or the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania, that in
cluded much of this region and
made his home at Belmont, near
Pleasant .Mount. Later his son,
Thomas .Meredith, a gentleman of
much culture and education, built
the "Cottage" below the southern
limits of this city, and lived there.
The family name is now extinct, and
as you know, the Aleredlth monu
ment recently erected at Pleasant
Mount was the first public honor
done In the name. The family, 1
understand, was of Welsh origin, so
we may safely assume that the old
gentleman knew good vocal music
when he heard it. These facts and
the euphony of the combination, and
also the uniqueness of the title, sug-
I gest themselves as sufficient to war
rant this proposal.
Sincerely yours,
DWIGHT L. CRANE.
if General Aleredlth, from his
resting place in our little part, could
have had the pleasure and Interest of
the audience on Wednesday evening,
he would have felt highly gratified.
Each number was recalled and
heartily applauded.
Pleasant Alount wishes them nil
success in their venture.
Thursday evening the class festl
al and social was an occasion of
keen enjoyment to the High school
pupils and their friends. Thus tho
events of 1909 and 1910 pnss Into
history. Next spring is the time de
cided upon for tho Alumni meeting
and banquet, and will ho an occas
ion of widespread Interest.
Decoration day was observed by a
brief exercise in the park. An ad
dress by Rev. AlcCarthy and tho
decoration of soldiers' graves at tho
cometery.

Thouch wo nre hcnnl frnni iih frn.
fluently as some other towns, there
Is no reason for thinking we are
either dead or asleep. Tho most of
our buildings nre kopt In good con
dition lnsldo nnd out, and there are
more nicely kept lnwns than In any
other town of Its size, known to the
writer. Wo have no manufactorlng
Industries, but wo boast of two
good churches, Alethodlst and Bap
tist; a good High school, which un
der tho efficient principal, Pror. AI.
S. VnnCampen, has been regraded,
and made a first-class school; our
general store with A. G. Gregg pro
prietor, Is a "Bazaar," employing
one lady and three gentlemen clerks
besides tho proprietor and his wife,
who are always busy; our furniture
store and undertaking establish
ment is a modern up-to-date busi
ness, with George C. Abrnham as
proprietor. Air. Abraham devotes
most of his time to lumbering, and
employs Corwln H. Valentine, who
as an undertaker, Is equaled by few,
and excelled by none. Our harness
store and shoe shop with Henry
Baeherer, proprietor, is n busy place.
With Dr. Ben. Tyler to keep the teeth
In order, Bide. Pethlck to shoe the
horses, Airs. Samuel Pethlck to keep
the ladles In stylish gowns, and Airs.
Ellison to furnish millinery, there
seems to be very little to complain
of, except the few who always kick
about everything from the toll bridge
to Halley s comet. We have two of
the best kept cemeteries to be found
In the rural districts. Air. Amasa
Appley does most of the work, and
he knows how to do It. If the few
who own lots that are neglected,
would give them a little more atten
tion, or employ .Mr. Appley to do it,
for a small sum of money they
could be kept up nicely all the time.
The .Methodist church here is the
largest Protestant Institution in the
Delaware Valley between Port Jer
vls and Hancock. Rev. Joseph AI.
Coleman has just begun his third
year as pastor. There are Ave ap
pointments on the charge, Damascus,
Galilee. Calkins, AHIanvllle and
Abrahamsville. Within the bounds
of his parish there are nine U. S.
postofllces. In addition to those
mentioned as appointments there are
Hutledgedale, Tyler Hill, Fallsdale,
and Boyds .Mills. We have two or
ganized adult Bible classes in the
.Methodist church here. The men's
class has twenty members, and the
Indies class seventeen members.
These two classes unite once a
mouth, in a class social. We invite
those who are not members to "come
with us and we will do you good,"
at the same time make it pleasant
for you.
The Baccalaureate sermon for the
Damascus High school was preached
this year by Rev. Bell, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, Cochecton, N.
Y. Class night and graduating ex
ercises were held in the .Methodist
church on Tuesday and Wednesday
eenings, Alay 31st and June 1st.
The church was crowded both
nights. There were nine graduates
Alary E. and Edward K. Fromer,
Russell S. Clark. Alary J. Noble,
Ruth AI. Kopp, Frederlka Hockor,
Helen B. Rutledge, Sadie F. Welsh
and Clara AI. Gaston. Judging
from the display of their talent, we
predict for them a bright nnd pros
perous future.
To be sure we are patriotic. We
have a picnic nnd in other patriotic
ways, celebrate the Fourth of July
every year. We also observed Ale
morial Day In a fitting manner, with
a parade, decorating tho graves,
placing "Old Glory" on the grave of
overy soldier, and then going to the
Methodist church where there was
appropriate exercises, consisting of
prayer, recitations, singing of pa
triotic songs and short address by
Revs. Bell and Jos. Al. Coleman, also

tho gathering. Tho Tyler Hill band
furnished music for the occasion.
At tho closo of tho exorcise the Ep
worth League furnished Ice cream,
strawberries nnd enke, realizing
about $35.00. Tho band was treated
to delicacies for tho service they
rendered gratis, as was also tho vet
erans. The honored guest of tho day
was Allcaljah Weiss, who on Juno 15,
1910, will be 100 years of ago. He
was born at Alt. Bethel, Northamp
ton county Pa., Juno 15, 1801. In
18!25 he bought a large tract of land
nt Hemlock Hollow, (now Lake
ville) where ho lived until 1897
when he moved to Beaver Brook,
Sullivan county, N. Y., whore ho Is
still living. At the age of G5 years
ho enlisted in Co. G, 141st Regi
ment, Pennsylvania Volunteers with
Captain Mumford in command.
Alumford was killed In the battle of
Fredericksburg and wa3 succeeded
by Capt. Joseph Atkinson. Air.
Weiss has been married four times,
three of his wives, nnd two children,
a boy and a girl born to the first
wife, are dead. His first wife was
Elizabeth Ansley; tho second Lucy
Roberts; the third Lucy Westfall;
the fourth Christina Weber. There
were no children except those men
tioned by tho llrst mnrriage and
these died at the ages of 5 and 7
years respectfully. Air. Weis3 never
wore glasses and is still masticating
his food with his original teeth. He
never used tobacco In any form; re
tires at 8 p. m. and rises at 4 a. m.
usually; works a "small garden of
about one half an acre." His mind
Is clear, memory good, voice strong,
enjoys a Joke, and can entertain by
the hour. He claims to have follow
ed the river longer and run more
lumber than any other man now
living. He Is short of stature but
stocky in build, a typical Pennsyl
vania German. He says "the War
Department does not know his real
age, but he gave them three years of
good service." At the age of 109
years, he represents nn ordinary man
in good health, well preserved at
about 85. As an expression of our
appreciation to Air. Weiss, let us
send him a shower of post cards on
his 100th birthday. He rode to
Narrowsburg and took the train for
Cochecton on the morning of the
30th, spent about an hour and a
half In n wagon and an hour In the
church, aftor which he was entertain
ed by a comrade, O. W. Brigham.
Several called to see him and he
was not tired at 9 p. m. The next
morning he returned to his home.
Long may he yet live.
VALUABLE INVENTION NOT
PATENTED.
"The Manufacturer ana Builder"
suggests the following: "The cheap
est, most simple, and practical fire
alarm for ordinary household pur
poses is a small weight of lead or
Iron made to adhere to the celling
of each room with a piece of wax.
When the temperature becomes ele
vated above that of the ordinary
atmosphere, the wax will lose Its ad
hesiveness and allow the weight to
drop. The weight can be attached
by a wire to all the bells in the
house, or to sound any alarm ex
temporized for the purpose. The
weights should be kept away from
stove-pipes and out of the sun, and
one should bo placed In each room
and hallway. They will not fall to
give the alarm when there Is any
excessive Increase of temperature,
and no house should bo without
them. This alarm is not patented,
and is freo to be used by all without
money and without price."
