Proposed Brookville-DuBois-
Reynoldsville Paved Road.
Durlnc the last few weeks much has
been said ' and written concerning a
proposed paved road to connect DuBois
and Brookvllle . via of Reynoldsville.
As yet the plan Is in the formative
stage only, never having been officially
determined upon, nor is any community
or organization especially booming the
project. Yet the eagerness with which
the projeot has been received is pretty
good evidence for believing that at no
distant date the dream will material
ize. It would not be difficult to carry
out the plan. The greater part of the
way between DuBois and Reynoldsville
is already - paved with brick or
macadamized, and there remains only
a two or three mile stretch in Sandy
township, Clearfield county, and tbe
road from Brookvllle to Reynolsvllle.
Tbe Wlnslow township supervisors,
with a foresight and progressive spirit
which does them honor, long aeo filed
applications for state aid to pave the
pike out from West Reynoldsville.
With similar enterprise shown by the
supervisors of Pinecreek township and
the district out from Brookvllle it
would be a matter of only a few years
until tbe finest highway In the state
would wind Its way through Reynolds
ville. . It Is unfortunate that' the state aid
now being extended for the building of
a two mile stretch of road out from
Brookvllle does not apply ou the pike
leading to Reynoldsvilln. Instead It
goes out to the county pooi- farm. The
commissioners of the county, individ
ually, are In favor of doing all possible
to secure the needed links In
the DuBois- Reynoldsville- Brookvllle
thoroughfare.
Fine Bunch of Prunes.
A. M. Norrls, one of the prosperous
farmer of Wlnslow township, exhibit
ed at The STAR office Monday morning
a magnificent cluster of prunes, twenty-
seven in all, of large size and rich color
which grew on one little stain out from
a tree on his farm. Mr. Norrls has
four or five young prune trees on his
place which are thriving well and if all.
all develop as tbe tree cited above has,
be will soon be able to rival the pro
ducers of prunes in California.
.Griffith Reunion at Indiana.
The descendants of Evan and Sarah

Annual Cooper Reunion"
Held at Edgemont Park.
One hundred and fifty members of
the Cooper family from various parts
of JefferBon and adjoining counties,
gathered at Edgemont Park, near Falls
Creek Friday of last week and held
their annual reunion. The day was
Ideal for the event and the ocoaslon
was one of the most enjoyable the
family ha ever participated In.
Of the original Cooper family, whose
founder settled In the B?ech woods
district almost a century ago, there are
now living but two representatives, the
venerable Nlnlan Cooper, of Reynolds
vlile, and - his v. tister-ln-law, Mr.

In all such affair, was a bounteous
feast spread, all having carried -wel)
filled baskets to tbe park. Following
this a number of reminiscent speeches
were made by members of the family,

Archie McCullough, and Rev. John
H. Cooper, the latter of Johnsonburg.
At the business session, It was de
cided to hold the 1011 reunion In Edge
mont Park August l!)th, and the
organization was maintained by the
election of the following officers:
President, Ruv. John H. Cooper, of
Johnsonburg; Secretary. A. R. Chapin.
of Brockwayvllle; Executive Commit
tee, Elmer Cooper, of Bouch woods,
Alex Bovard, Sugar Hill, James K.
Johnston, of Reynoldsville.
After Unasse&sed Property.
P. A. Smith, of Soldlen, recently
elected assessor in Wlnslow township,
Is going after the unitssessed and un
taxed land In the township in a way
that bodes ill for some one. It has been
alleged that there Is a large quantity
of land in the township which is either
assessed too low or Ih not assessed at
all, and 'Squire Smith proposes to make
every property ownoV in the township
make affidavit and swear in his pres
ence to the extent' and value of their
property.,' It Is his opinion that if be
can seoure a just and com pie appraise
ment of all the taxable property in tbe
district he will confer a benefit on the
honest taxpayers of the township.
