MORE FACTS ABOUT THE
PROPOSED CHAIR FACTORY.
Reynoldsville has an Excellent Chance
. to Secure a Paying Industry and One
which may Grow Rapidly.
Since the announcement two weeks
ago of the possibility of Becurlng a large
chair factory for Reynoldsville lu the
near future, nothing has been done in
the matter owing to the fact that tor.
Moudy, the owner of the plant, was
busily engaged arranging for the Point
View sale of real estate and did not
wish the proposition presented for ac
tion until after the sale. The sale over,
the matter will now be taken up In
earnest and a determined effort made
to interest local people. During the
week beginning July 8th Mr. Moudy
will return to Reynoldsville and a meet
ing with the citizens will be arranged.
Not for many years has a more favor
able proposition been presented to local
people than this of the chair factory.
Manufacturing a staple line of goods
for which there Is constant and Increas
ing demand, with field practically
unlimited, an experienced manager at
the head, a reputation already estab
lished and an abundance of the neces
sary hardwood in this and adjoining
counties, the success of the plant is as
sured. As previously stated, the oom
pany has a fully equipped plant which
was doing a prosperous business when a
big railroad corporation began en
croaching on their property. Litiga
tion in court-followed in which the fac
tory people were partially successful,
but appeals were repeatedly taken by
the railroad and Snally Mr. Moudy and
his associates were compelled to sur
render to the power of the millions be
hind the corporation. Operations were
suspended and for some past the plant,
with over $18,000 worth of equipment
has been standing idle. This is the
situation to-day. All that Mr. Moudy
asks to transfer the plant to Reynolds
ville Is that our people .Bhall donate a
free site and subscribe about tl 2,000 for
stock. When the plant wate In opera
tion in Its present location, it earned
over 8 per cent dividends and was
severely handicapped in two ways.
First they had to pay $2.50 per ton for
coal. The same fuel can be Becured la
Reynoldsville for about $1.10 per ton, a
saving of $1.40 on every ton used, an
immense item considering the yearly
tonnage used. Secondly, they had but
one railroad to ship out their product
on and, as usually happens when there
Is no competition, the freight rates
were exorbitant. It Is not promised,
but it is not too much to say that a
plant which earned S per cent under
such conditions could pay twice the
amount with the reduced cost of pro
duction and shipping afforded by Reyn
oldsville. Those who doubt should look into the
case of the Union City chair factories.
There were three plants there, starting
small, and the Industry became the life
of the town. One mill alone employed
over 200 hands when it burned down a
short time ago. The employees were
paid good wages and the stockholders
were drawing 20 per cent dividends.
When two of the plants were destroyed
by fire, immediate arrangements were
made for consolidating the companies
and rebuilding on a larger scale than
ever.
. The proposition should also Interest
all persons having second-growth bard
wood timber. Tbe fxctory would use
large quantities and persons interested
in such timber would do well to com
municate with Mr. Moudy.
From these facts, tuken at random,
the citizens of town may see what mag
nificent profit possibilities there are in
this proposition and what exceptional
opportunities for growth . and conse
quent benefit to Reynoldsville as a town.

AN EXCELLENT WOMAN GONE.
Mrs. Susanna Murphy, of Emerickville,
D'ed at Norfolk, Va.
Mrs. Susanna Murphy, whose funeral
occurred at F.merickville on Snturday,
June ljth, was born February 15, 1823,
In Llgonler Valley, Westmoreland Co.,
Pa. She was married to James Mur
phy when but 16 years old and three
years later moved to Jefferson county
and settled at Emerickville on the farm
that was ber home for 65 years. Her
husband has been dead for thirty-two
yearB and of her thirteen children, five
passed on before hor, the other eight,
five sons and three daughters, are as
follows: Charles, of Byromtown, Pa.,
J. W., of Worthville, Pa., C. J., of
Parker, Pa., I. B., of state of Indiana,

mira, better known as Ella, has been
her mother's constant companion for
many years, doing all In her power to
lighten' tho burden of ber declining
years and to throw a little sunshine
into the gathering shadows of old age.
Besides these children Mrs. Murphy
Is survived by one brother, John Mo
Murray, of the Brookville Jcfiermnian
Democrat, one sister, Mrs. J. S. Ltosen
blgler, and twelve great grand-children,
In early life she was converted and
united with the Methodist Episcopal
church, In which for nearly three score
years and ten she . proved herself a
disciple indeed In whom was no guile.
Her life was above reproach.
In the community she will be greatly
missed. No one in any community was
more nearly Omnipresent and omnipo
tent at time of sickness and death than
was this most excellent woman. There
are f-w homes in or near Emerlckvlllo
that have not known her kindly minis
trations. She was not a "busy body In
other roon's matters," but ovor tried to
make life brlghtor for others.
About a month before her death she
went to Norfolk, Va.,. to visit her
youngest son and there was stricken
with fatal illness and died. Her young
est son and family, Mrs. Zeitler and
Ella Were with ber at lire's close. The
remains were brought to her own home
on Thursday evening. On Saturday
the funeral service was held in tbe M.
E. church at Emerickville. conducted
by Rev. J. H. Jelbart, of New Bethle
hem, one of her former pastors. Six of
ber grandsons acted as pall bearers and
interment was made In the Milllren cem
etery by the side of ber husband and
children.
The floral tribute consisted of bouquet
from Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Wheeler
and Mrs. Smith McCrelght, bouquet
from Mr. and Mrs Q. S. Snyder, bou
quet from Mr. Carrie Guthrie, cross
