Prohibiting Throwing Paper on the Sts, Burgess Will Enfotce It. There Is a borough ordinance pro hibiting the throwing of paper of any kind on any of the streets of Reynolds ville, and yet people thoughtlessly throw paper on the streets. Last week three DuBois merchants sent men to Reynoldsville to distribute large bills and they were scattered promiscuously on various streets. Mayor" Williams has decided to put a stop to littering the streets with bills and has instructed the police to pick up persons distribut ing bills and bring them before him. Monday another DuBois man was In town with a bunch of big bills and he felt indignant because be was taken before the mayor. The man was grant ed the privilege, without paying for same, to distribute tbe bills providing he would be sure to get them Into the bouses, but was warned that if the bills were scattered on the streets he would be arrested and fined. We understand that in DuBois and several other towns in this section outsiders must get all. bills distributed by the bill posters of these towns and he is held responsible for bills being scattered on the streets y Child Had Fingers Amputated.

No person can be blamed for buying abroad that which he cannot obtain here, but the habit of purchasing groceries, clothing, furs and other common stock articles from jobbing houses or retail concerns away from home sends money where it never comes back, and as a usual thing the purchaser Is not greatly benefitted. Our merchants have very complete and satisfactory stock, and they are hoping that people here will contract the "buy at borne" habit. There Is nothing like protection of home industries, and this is a good way to put the principle into practice." Birthday Surprise Party.

Take tbe average housewife, she has no hired girl to prepare the Thanks giving dinner and consequently she Is obliged to remain at her home, where as it the services were held in the even ing she would have an opportunity of attending.
