Water Rates Reduced.
At a meeting of the directors of the
Reynoldsvllle Water Company last
Friday evening it was decided to re
duce the water rate 25 per cent, which
now makes the water rate tl.00
per month, or 812 00 per year, for use
of water for house, bath room and closet.
For a number of years the rate was
122.00 per year, for house, bath and
closet, but several years ago the rate
was reduced to (16.00 per year, and the
reduction last week lowers the ratn
four dollars. Under the new rate,
which Is to become effective from first
of this year, water for house use alone
will be about 17.50 per year. The new
rate is certainly a vory reasonable one
and will, no doubt, result in a large in
crease in the number of families to use
town water.

that these warriors ever tried to follow.
It leads by way of Brady's Bend and is

GOSPEL UNION CAMPAIGN.
The Evangelistic Meetings Begin in Cen
tennial Hall Next Monday, Jan, 14.
The union gospel meetings to begin
in Centennial Hall on Monday evening'
of next week, January 14th, under
the direction of Dr. A. J. Smith,
evangelist of New York City, and Prof.
Chester F. Harris, of Cleveland, Ohio,
has awakened considerable Interest In
Reynoldsvllle. Inquires have been
made about Dr. Smith and his work,
and in answer to such Inquires the
lollowing statement is published:
Rev. A. J. Smith was born In the
province Quebec, Canada, and came to'
the United States when ten years old. ,
The drift of bis whole life 'seems to
bave been preparatory to his particular,
calling. Educated in Brattleboro, Vt.j
and Boston, and expecting to enter
business, he further prepared himself'
by a commercial course at Eastman'
college, Poughkeepsle. At 21 he went,
on the road as a commercial traveler,,
selling goods to the furniture trade. In
1885 be was led to give up business and
go into the work of the Y. M. C. A..
He served the association In Waterbury,
Conn., New York and Chicago. In
1889 he accepted an invitation to be
come assistant pastor of Bethany Pres
byterian church, Philadelphia, com
monly known as Wanamaker's church.
In this church Dr. Smith caught the
evangelistic spirit and after prayerful
consideration resigned to enter the gen
eral work. After leaving Bethany
church Dr. Smith took a special course
in the Dutch Reformed Theological
Seminary at New Brunswick, N. J. Dr.
Smith has been associated with
Mr. Moody, B. Fay Mills, J. Wilbur
Chapman and many other loading re
ligious workers of the day. All these
gentlemen, with Mr. Wanamaker and
the session of the Bethany church, most
heartily commend Dr. Smith as a
christian gentlemen and a singularly
successful winner of souls. After six
years of evangelistic work Dr. Smith
accepted an urgent call to the First
Presbyterian church of Savannah, Ga.,
where labored from 1890 to the end of
1900. During his ministry there great
numbers were added to the church and
the building was entirely remodeled at
a cost of $9,000
Since leaving Savannah Dr. Smith
has deioted his entire time to evangel-
lstio work. He has been associated
itb Dr. Chapman in some of his
greatest evangelistio campaigns. He
organized and directed the preparatory
work in Atlanta, Ga., where several
thousand confessed Christ. He was
associated with Dr. J. P. Calhoun in the'
great meetings in Kansas City and
Louisville, and baa on many ocoaslons
acted as tpecial representative of the
Committee on Evangelistic work of the
Presbyterian church.
Dr. Smith has been described as "a
man with a message," and those who
know bim intimatoly say that the secret
of his power lies in the fact that he is
filled with the Holy Ghost. He has
been influenced greatly by association
with men like Moody, but he earnestly
Insists that the greatest Influence in his

Trolley Line To Big Run.
There Is little doubt but that the ex-,
tension of the street car line from Du-,
Bois to Big Run will be completed as
soon in the spring as the weather will
permit. The surveys have been com
pleted and nearly all of the right of
way purchased. Considerable of the
work has been done on tne extension
from Sykesville toward Big Run, and it
is understood that the remaining por
tion of the road will b hastened to
completion. The company will likely
build a power house at Big Run to
furnish additional power for the oper
ation of the line and also furnish Big
Run with electric lights. Big Run
