The vote was 367 for acceptance and 242 against. The miners in this section began work Friday morning. Bad Sidewalks. There are some very dangerous side walks in town. When the matter is carefully considered it is surprising that property owners do not keep their sidewalks in good condition, as they are liable for damage if some person is Injured. Damage suit would be brought against the borough, but the borough would hold the property owner responsi ble and collect the amount of damage from the- person on whose walk the accident occurred. This being the case, is it wise for a property owner to allow bis or her sidewalks to get In bad con dition f Fish Electrocuted. A large number of fish were electro cuted In the dam at Soldier Monday by a live electrlo wire dropping into the dam. The trolley line runs along edge of dam and a short circuit on the feed wire set fire to a pole and burned off the wire, which dropped into dam. All the fish caught in the surcharged water were electrocuted. Some lads who saw the large dead fish floating on top of water, started to wade into the dam to get the fish, but they did not wade in far and did not have to be told to get out. The surcharged water acted as an electric battery on the boys' bare feet and legs. Sandy Valley M. E. Church. As stated in The Star last week the M. E. church at Sandy Valley will be dedicated next Sunday evening, July 29th. This church was built for the Covenanters in 1879 on lands of Robert Waite.

With the consent of Mr. Mc Ghee, Robert Waite, who owned the land, deeded the church to the trustees of the M. E. church about two years ago, when Rev. J. C. McEntire was pastor. The church has been repaired at a cost of $250.00 and the Methodist congregation will have it dedicated next Sunday evening. Sermon at 7.30 p. m. by Dr. J. Bell Neff, of DuBois. Dedication at 8.30, followed by Sacra ment of the Lord's Supper. DEATH FROM TYPHOID FEVER. Mrs. W. J. Frank, Former Reynoldsville Lady, Died in Pittsburg. Mrs. Will J.

Hundreds of people joined In the search for the body, and a large amount of dynamite was used to make the body float, but body was not found until after it had been in the river two days and two nights.

Our Free Site Land is Advertised for Sheriff Sale. In the sheriff's sale notices published In this Issue of The Star will be found the advertisement for sale of the Reyn oldsville Land Improvement Company's land that was purchased for free sites for industries that want to locate In Reynoldsville. The entire claim against the Land Improvement Co. is not over $1,600.00, and $800.00 of that amount has been pledged on condition that the en tire amount is raised to pay off the in debtedness. We now have five or six industries that we would not likely have had if It had not been that the town waa able to give free sites to these indus tries. Are we going to sit down, fold our hands and let the sheriff of Jeffer son county sell this land because the citizens of Reynoldsville will not raise $700.00 or $800.00 to pay the debt against the land? Can the property owners of Reynoldsville afford to let this valuable tract of land be sold by the sheriff? We say most emphatically they cannot. It will be the greatest mistake our town has ever made to lose this land. Don't let It get away from the Land Improvement Co. We must nave it lor tree sites it we want our town to grow, and we are certainly all Interested In the future welfare of the town. If all who can will help a little the $800.00 can be raised witlmut making It a hardship for any one. The town papers have been urging the citizens for some months to pay off this debt, and the matter has been taken up by some enterprising citizens, but the citi zens in general have not been Interested and the majority are expecting a few to contribute the necessary amount to pay off the claim against the land. This is not a matter that should be met by a few citizens, but every business man and property owner should be Interested in seeing this debt puld, and should contribute towards paying It. Don't stand in your own light. Put your shoulder to the wheel. Whatever Is done must be done quickly. The time for discussing the matter has passed. Action is necessary. Winslow Township Teachers.
