Addrrft nil communications to C. A. Stcph Inmm, Roynoldnvllle, Entered at the po-totflci t Ucynoldsrllle, Pa., a nct-ond class mall matter. An eminent scientist advises as a precaution against tul)ercnlotls and sev eral other germ diseases, that the mouth be kept closed. This suggestion should come Into general practice, and If It foils to prevent tuberculosis It may Incidentally prevent other troubles that are quite as bad. Smith M. McCrelght, Esq., the Reyn oldsvlllo attorney, Is In town to-dny looking after the Interests of his clients and at the same time feeling the public nulse on political matters, as he is a prospective candidate' for the Ropubll can nomination for District Attorney next spring, and is anxious that his friends who are backing him as a win ner shall not be disappointed. Brook vllle Itnmhlteun. Smith McCrelght Is a bright young man who is well quail' fled for the office. He is honest, up- right and has a host of friends, and if ho wants tho office there Is no doubt but that he will got It. The Star will have more to say about this rising young lawyer later on. T. M. Kurtz, chairman of the Ro' publican county committed, has Issued a call for a meeting of the county com' mlttee to be held In Brookvllle next Monday, January 8th, to arrange to hold the primary election in this conn tv the third Tuesday of February to elect delegates to the State and Nation al conventions and to nominate enndi dates for Congress, State Senate, and Assembly and District Attorney. If arrangements cannot be made to make all the nominations at the February primaries, an extra primary will have to be held, which means an extra ex pense of two or three hundred dollars, There is no doubt but that the county committee will decldo to make one prl mary do and will hold that the third Saturday of next month. That Is the proper thing. Tho time has come when the council men of this municipality should give street paving careful consideration. It Is only a matter of a few months until the plank pavement on Main street will be torn up to put down the street rail way and then we will have to put in new pavement of some kind or retro grade, and the latter wo don't propose to do. Plank paving, of course, will not be considered by the councllmen this time. Brick Is what we want. Main street should be paved from one end to the other as soon as possible this year, and for this reason town council should take up tho matter at the meet ing this evening. If the matter Is taken tip Immediately the paving can be done when the trolley line Is being built and It will not be necessary to have our Main street torn up all summer. It has boon truthfully said by an ex change that those who succeed In life must be up and doing, as there Is no success In the world for the man who does nothing. The social outcast Is the Idle man; they All our prisons and jails and In weakness and distress crowd the almshouses of our counties. Even If not working or earning monoy, take ex erclse to harden the muscles of the body and tho tissues of the brain for the bat tle of llfo. To tho victor bolong the spoils. In the past 'twas the shrewd schemer with little knowledge that . made the monoy, but now it Is the brainy man who directs the affairs of state and the roonotary world. Young man, the greatest thing In the world is industry; be industrious and you will be happy and content; be Idle and unhup piness and discontent will go hand hand down through the avenues of your life. Learn the lesson once for all. . "Girls, do not be in a hurry to wed," says Mow Carpenter In the Driftwood Otizette. "Take a good, lasting look be fore you leap. I would rather be an ugly old maid with hard knuckles high cheek bones and big flat fee.t than to be the handsome wife of a miserable, crabbed, unreasonable husband. And what if you should after all fall Into the bands of that crank who has been lying to you for the last eighteen months. Then your name is changed and loving parents and a sweet home are gone and all given up for what I call a domestic serfdom. You must stay with him and make the best of your choice. It will be a long time between pay days; there will be no one to keep your time and no one will offer you an additional oompen' satlon for overwork or appreciable faithfulness as in the ease of the hired help. You simply work and worry for your boarding and clothes, and some times poor at that. And what are you o do about it? Run away? Which direction will you take? ..Will you' fl,y? How can you without wlngsV :. u .' READY TO ISSUE BONDS. Citizens of Reynoldsvllle will be tllv en an Opportunity to Invest. We are pleased to be able to announce eflnlte progress In the matter of nur lectrio light plant. The company have secured the services of F. II. Holding, of Bran ford, Conn., who will uko tmtlre charge of tho operation of tho plant. Mr. Guiding Is now super- ntendent and general manager of tho Branford Electric Light and Water Co. and stands well up In tho front In his profession. We enn feel assured that he will put our lighting plant upon a high plane of efficiency. Mr. Goldlng with his wife will move to our town In about three weeks, taklngentlre charge of the plant from that time. Mr. Ferrln Informs us that the com pany are now ready to Issuo the bonds authorized by their churter and pursu ant to his promise ho offer the citizens of our town an opportunity to purchase a limited amount of them. Wo publish a circular which the company have pre pared which will explain the Isbub bet ter than wo can. We commend It to the attention of our renders, as follows: Tho Installation of tho plant of the Roynoldsville Electric Company is now nearlng completion, and the time has comn when It becomes necessary to Is sue the Bonds for which provision was in in' e In the charter. When Mr. Ferrln appeared before the councils of the two boroughs and asked for a franchise for furnishing electric light, heat and power, and a contract for lighting tho streets of the two towns with electricity, the chief objection made to granting him these franchises and contracts was, that It was unwise and unnecessary to give this matter over to a company of men living outside of ReynoldHvllle. Many of tho citizens seemed to think that the bust ness might be established and carried on by local men and home capital. Notwithstanding this evident desire on the part of your town for local own ershlp, however, the franchise and con tracts were given to Mr. Ferrln, and later were by hlra transferred to our Company. It has been the Intention of the gentlemen who are back of this enterprise to Invest their own monoy In the bonds of the Company when Is- sued and they are now prepared to do so; but remembering the feeling of the people for home ownership, they have decided to offer a portion of the issue for sale locally. To the end that all may understand clearly and fully the condition under which these bonus are Issued, we will state the following facts, to-wlt: The Roynoldsville Electric Compnny have a fifty year franchise for produc- Ing and selling electricity for light, beat and power in the borougtiB of Roynoldsville and West Roynoldsville They also have contracts with the two boroughs for lighting tho publlo streets with arc lamps for the period of ten years at the rate of $00.00 per year per lamp. By action of tho councils of the two boroughs the number of arc lamps to be used was placed at 34 for a begin ning, others to be added as the need for them dovelopod. Tho Company has authority under Its charter to Issue bonds to an amount not to exceed $2."), 000.00 at such rate of In' terost as may be deemed best by tho Directors. Acting under this author ity, they haye decided to issue 0 per cent 20 year bonds, the Company reserve ing the right to redeom any of the bonds January 1st, 1005, or any Interest date thereafter. Interest Is payable on tbe first days of January and July In each year on presentation of the interest coupons at the Banking House of Seeley, Alexander & Company, Royn oldsvtlle, Pa. As will be observed the Company has an assured Income from the two bor oughs of $2,040.00 per year, payable quarterly, according to the terms of the contract. We will not find It necessary, probably, to issue more than $17,000.00 of these bonds. To pay tho Interest on this sum and to provide a sinking fund to pay the bonds when due, will require only $1,700 per year, which Is fully pro vided for by tho payments due from the two boroughs. These bonds are se cured by a first mortgage upon the lot, buildings, machinery of all kinds and the franchises and contracts above re' ferred to, and all other properties of whatsoever kind or character belonging to the Reynoldsvlllo Electric Co., drawn payable to H. Alex Stoke of Reynolds' vllle, Pa., as Trustee, for the holders of the bonds, and the interest and sinking fund payments are paid over to Trustee quarterly at the time the money on the contracts with the two boroughs Is paid to the Treasurer of the Company. This course renders these bonds equal in security to bonds of the borough Being based upon contracts with the two boroughs, they become practically and In effect borough bonds. No one would or could question the ability of the two boroughs to fulfil their obliga tions and to make their payments upon these contracts as agreed, consequently no one can question tho security afford ed by these bonds. Thev are1 offered freely and at par and In anv amount, interest to begin January 1st, litOO. We certainly hope the citizens of Roynoldsville will avail themselves of this opportunity to obtain an interest In tholr electric light plant, and at the same time a sate ana seen investment for their money.
