Much to Local Prosperity.
That the year 1909 will be
the most prosperous every ex
perienced . by Reynoldsville has
been freely predicted, and judged
by the record of the first week in
January there seems to be some
thing more substantial than
mere optimism to base the pro
phecy on. The panic year of
1908 hardly had been ushered
out when the announcement was
made that negotiations in pro
gress for taking over the brick
plant formerly operated by the
Reynoldsville Clay Manufactur
ing Company had reached a
point which practically assured
resumption under management
of Thomas E. Evans, its former
lessee.
The plant has a very large
capacity of brick and it is
the intention of Mr. Evans to
operate it to its full capacity.
Arrangements have been made
with a Pittsburg company to
take the entire season's output,
guaranteeing steady employ
ment for about fifty Reynolds
ville men.

WEDDING BELLS
IN BEECHWOODS
Miss Nancy Hunter United In
Marriage to Thomas J.
Dennison,
One of the brightest and sunniest
days of this beautiful winter season
came on Tuesday, December 20, 1908,
but perfect as was the day it was not
more perfect than the event which
took place at the country home of Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Hunter, in Beech-
woods, when their daughter, Miss
Nancy, was united in marriage lo
Thomas James Dennison, son of Mrs.
Rebecca Dennison, also of Beechwoods.
Promptly at the appointed hour be
tween forty and fifty guests, among
whom was representatives of four gen
erations in the bride's connection, as
sembled and the bride and groom, pro
ceeded by Frances and Howard Hunter,
little cousins of the bride, as ribbon-
bearers, eaoh carrying beautiful white
lilies and looking so sweet tbat they
vied with the bride in claiming the
honors o' the day, entered the parlor
to the strains of Mendelsohn's wedding
march skillfully rendered by Mrs. R.
L. Hunter, sister-in-law of the bride,
and took their places beneath a bower
of evergreen and holly where Rev.
O. H. Hill, using the impressive ring
ceremony of the Presbyterian church,
made the young couple one.
The bride looked oharmlng in a
beautiful gown of white net and lace
over silk, while the groom wore the
conventional black.
After the ceremony and congratula
tions the guests were ushered to the
dining rooms where an elaborate course
dinner was served. One of the pret
tiest features of ' the dinner was the
deoorations of the dining rooms, the
bride's table being decorated in white
lilies and the remaining tables in car
nations and ferns.
The wedding was one of the most up-to-date
social events ever given in the
Beechwoods.
Mr. and Mrs. Dennison are among
the most esteemed young people and
represent two of the oldest and most
prominent families of the Beechwoods
district, and their prospects for a buc
oessful voyage o'er the sea of life to
gether are bright. Amid showers of
rice and with their -carriage gaily dec
orated with ribbons, old shoes, eto.,
they left for DuBois where they took
the southbound flyer for an extended
wedding trip, after which they will
be at home to their many friends.
Large number of beautiful and valu
able wedding presents were given..

Second Drop for Eriton Elevator.
Monday morning for, the second time
within a comparatively short time the
cable supporting the cage at Eriton
Shaft parted, dropping the cage to the
bottom of the shaft with terrific force,
but fortunately, as In the first case, the
cage was unoccupied and nobody was
injured.
The shaft Is about three hundred feet
docp and the elevator fell nearly the
entire distance. As in the first caso
the platform contained a coal car and
both car and cage were badly demol

fortunate from the fact that it was
unoccupied as It would bave meant
almost certain death for any person
to drop with the platform. The cage

Life 100,000 Years Ago.
Scientists have found in a cave in
Switzerland bones of men who lived
100,000 years ago, when life was in con
stant danger from wild beasts. To-day,
the danger, as shown by A. W. Brown,
of Alexander, Me., Is largely from dead
ly disease. "If it had not been for Dr.
King's New Discovery, which oured
me, I could not have lived,'! he writes,
"suffering as I did from a severe lung
trouble and stubborn cough." To cure
sore lungs, colds, obstinate coughs, and
prevent pneumonia, its the best med

What Constitutes a Good Citizen.
The good citizen Is necessarily a man
who pays his debts, contributes, to the
moral uplifting of the town, lives a
clean life and sets an example to his
followers. A good citizen is one who
does not regard himself the hub around
which every act 1b not dictated by pure
self interest. A good oitlzen ought also
to be anxious to advanoe the material
welfare of his neighbors; he ought to
take pleasure and pride in helping to
build up the community in which he
lives, otherwise he is unworthy of the
confidence of the moral, business
or political support of such a commun
ity. A man Is entitled to the esteem
of his fellows only in the portion he
has enriched them morally and men
tally. This is tho only proper criterion
by which to judge of the value of men.

Editor The Star: We can say
this was the first Christmas tbat we
ever saw roses, carnations and other
flowers blooming out in the yards on
Christmas day. We never saw such
beautiful flowers in the yards this time
of year in Pennsylvania. Are having
fine weather here. Some of the farm
ers are sowing grain. Mrs. Veit says
she saw an old farmer sowingjgraln last
Sunday, and that is something we
never saw in Penn'a. , Somo of the
farmers don't know wben Sunday
comes, for they never stop work to go
to church.
We like Oregon real well. We find
we can llye here just as well as we
could in Penn'a and we don't hare those
cold winter days here that you people
have. Mrs. Veit says the only thing
she don't like about Oregon is that
we have to burn wood and she gets
so many splinters in her hands. We
have not seen any coal since we came
here. Wood is very cheap. They saw
up the finest kind of fir trees for wood.
It this lumber was in Pennsylvania it
would sell for $30.00 a thousand. There
is fine timber in Oregon. Lumber is
cheap here and lots of it.
We are always glad when we receive
The Star and read the news from our
home town. Wm. Veit.

Advice to Youth
Homdy Common Sense Talk
By the California Humorist
And Evangelist
Remember, my son, you bave to work,
whether you handle a pick or a pen, a
wheelbarrow or a set of books, dig
ditches or edit a newspaper, ring an
auction bell or write funny things, you
must work.
If you look around, you will see the
men who are most able to live tbe rest
of their days without work are the men
who work the hardest. Don't be afraid
of killing yourself with overwork. It
is beyond your power to do that on the
sunny side of thirty. They die some
times, but it is because they quit work
at 6 p. m and don't get home until 2
a. m. It's the Interval that kills, my
son. Tbe work gives you an appetite
for your meals; it lends solidity to your
slumbers; it gives you a perfect and
grateful appreciation of a holiday. '
There are young men who do not
work, but the world is not proud of
them. It does not know their names
even, it simply speaks of them as "old
So and So's boy." Nobody likes them;
the great, busy world doesn't know that
they are there. So find out what you
want to be and do, and take off your
coat and make a dust in the world. The
busier you are the less harm you will
be apt to get into, the sweeter will be
your sleep, the brighter and happier
your holidays, and the better satisfied
the world will be with you. Bob Bur
