Society of the Presbyterian church will hold a market at the Keystone Hard ware store on Saturday, April 17th. On account of the Easter season, the pupils of the parochial school were giv en a vacation from Wednesday of laet week until Monday morning of this week. Monday morning of this week Nlnian Cooper remarked that sixty-five years ago to-day the grass was four or five inches high and the cattle were picking a living in the woodlands. Francis G. Rea has been appointed carrier on R. F. D. route No. 4 from the Reynoldsvllle office to fill the vacancy oaused by the resignation of his brother, George H. Rea. The Jefferson Macaroni Factory at Reynoldsvllle shipped a solid car of macaroni to Bradford Saturday. March was a busy month at this factory, which makes a fine grade of macaroni. The choir and a full orchestra under , the leadership of Prof. Arthur H. Has , kins, rendered some excellent music In the Methodist Ep'scopal church last Sunday evening.

It has been an open secret for some time that a number of "soiled doves" have been hovering around Reynolds vllle and that several houses of ill fame exist In our midst. Mayor J. D. Williams has Issued orders to the police that these houses must be closed and the people of disrepute must either change their manner of living or get out of town, consequently one man was arrested last week on charge of keeping a disorderly and bawdy house and was taken to the county jail. His cane will come up In criminal court at Brookville this ween. Two women were arrested and taken to the county jail yesterday. Mayor Williams Is mak ing a move In the right direction and sbould receive the support of all the good citizens of Reynoldsvllle. It is to be hoped that the officers will not let up until all the houses of ill repute be closed and all the reprobates be driven out of our town. ,' EASTER SUNDAY SERVICES. Large Crowds Filled The Churches. Special Sermons and Special Music. It is claimed by those who have searched the records that not since 1800 nineteen years ago has this section of the country been favored with an EaBter Sunday as fiue as that of this year, and the result was that the attendance at the religious services In Reynoldsville was unusually large last Sunday. Special music, special sermons and fine decorations were arranged in all the churches. The decorations in the Catho'io church this year was, perhaps, the most beautiful ever seen in that cthirch. Tax Collector Copping Resigned. On Monday of this week William Copping resigned as tax collector In Reynoldsvllle for the 1009 taxes. Mr. Copping has until June to collect the 1008 taxes and when that time expires he will have served four years as tax collector in Reynoldsvllle borough, and at the February election this year be was elected for another year. , A. notice to be found elsewhere in this issue of The Star indicates rather emphatic ally that Mr. Copping proposes to be lenient no longer with delinquent tax payers. He seems to have "blood In his eye" and will evidently make it live ly for any property owners who do not liquidate tbelr taxes within a specified time. Congregational Meeting. There was a good attendance at the annual congregational meeting held In the Presbyterian church last Wednes day evening. Very gratifying and en oouraglng reports from the various societies of the church were read. The following church officers were elected: Chairman, D. H. Breakey; clerk, Smith M. McCreight; trustee, W. Harry Moore; Elders. L. M. Simmons, John H. Wagner. W. J. Hunter: auditor, Walter R. Reed. After the business meeting the Ladies' Work Society served a lunch. The new elders will be installed at the 11.00 a. m. service next Sunday. v Two new directors, H. L. Hoke and Charles A. Herpel, and the following other officers were elected by the Reyn oldsville Brick & Tile Co. last week: President, A. O'Donnell, Sr., Vioe President, H. L. Hoke; Treasurer, Henry Herpel. The board of directors now are: George Mel linger, Ira S. Smith. A. O'Donnell, Sr., Charles A. Herpel, H. L. Hoke. Clyde C. Murray had been re-elected secretary of the company previously. On the copy furnished us by the Winslow township auditors' report the number of days' time for Thomas Woods, one of the supervisors, was omitted entirely and Mr. Woods came into The Star office before last week's issue and asked that the number, of days he worked be put In the report, and we understood him to state 38 days, but it seems that we did not bear cor rectly and Instead of 38 days it should have been 28 days, the latter being the' number of days time handed in by Mr. Woods. Last Thursday, April 8th, the entire family of G. M. Rea gathered at the family home, near Reynoldsville, for a sort of farewell meeting Before George Rea and family and Irven Rea leave for New Mexico, where they expect to loctte. The family consists of ten children, seven grand-children and four daughters-in-law. An excellent dinner was partaken of and then the boys gathered In the yard on the old play ground and Indulged in a game of mar bles In true boyish style, after which a plo'ure of the boys was taken and then the several families separated for their own homes, Loplug that the family ties might not soon be broken.

I m Easter Service in Rathmel. It is claimed that the Easter pro gram rendered In the Methodist Epis copal ohurch In Rathmel last Suiiday evening surpassed anything of the kind ever given In that chuch. We heard one man say, "It was the finest Easter service ever given In Jefferson county." The church was sacked and the build ing was too small for every person to gain admission, Officers Elected. At the annual meeting of the stock holders of the Reynoldsvllle Woolen Mill Co. the following board of direc tors was elected: S. B. Elliott, F. H. Beck, James T. Evans, Daniel Nolan, M. Pbalen, Richard Smith, Charles A. Herpel, and the directors elected S. B. Elliott president, F. H. Beck vice president, James T. Evans, secretary, and John H. Kaucher treasurer. - Railroad Changes Rumored. It Is rumored that the first of next month the Low Grade Division nf the P. R. R. will become a part of the P. & E. Division of the Pennsylvania and that the Low Grade Division dispatch er's office will be changed from Reyn oldsville to Renovo. This may only be "railroad talk" and the change may not be made, but some of the railroad men at this place seem to feel pietty certain that it Is a sure thing. We hope not. Caleb Powers. Caleb Powers, for a number of years the most prominent figure in Kentucky politics, ani ex Secretary of State, who was tried a couple of times tor compli city in the murder of Governor Goebel, of that state, will lecture in Assembly Hall, Reynoldsville, on Tuesday even ing of next week, April 20, bis subject being, "Right Upon the Scaffold, Wrong Upon the Throne." His lecture will consist largely in telling the story of his connection with the Goebel mur der. He is said to be a good talker and his lecture is represented as very In teresting. His lecture has attracted large audiences wherever he has ap peared. It was largely through his un tiring efforts and powers as. an orator In the campaign of 1899 that the entire Republican state ticket was elected in Kentucky. - ' . General admission 35 cents.
