PAVING CONTRACTS.

Monday Night,
No definite action was taken in let-

special meeting of the borough council
Monday evening, a full board not being
present. Those in attendance were

Bids were received and opened for

Nay, Nay Pauline,
McCarthy, Punx’y’s utility infielder,
has been farmed out to Patton.—Punx-
sutawney Spirit.
Not on your tin type. McCarthy
was not farmed out to Patton. On
the contrary he jumped Punx’y and
came to Patton because he wanted to
play ball in a good town and not with
rowdies, and in a team that wins a
game once in a while. Moreover, as a
ball player, McCarthy is the superior
of any one in the Punx’y nine with the
possible exception of Garvey.
Get the Best Always.
It’s the same with paint as with any-
thing else. It always pays to get the
best. The trouble is to know what is
best. In paint we can tell you in a way
that you will readily understand.
With every gallon of Patton Sun Proof
paint we give you a written guarantee
good for five years. Could anything
be fairer than that? If you are now or
will soon be in need of paint, come in

Martin Julinski at Hastings the night
of Feb. 2, Leon Roosules did not deny
that he had inflicted the wounds
which resulted in the death of Julinski,
but stated that he had acted in self
defense. The prosecution and the at-
torneys for the defendant got together
and agreed to enter a plea of guilty of
murder in the second degree. Several
witnesses were called, however.
A decree of Court incorporated into
a borough that little community near
Cresson which has been known as
Sankertown.. Application was made
some time ago for the incorporation of
both Cresson and Sankertown and the
drafts submitted by the petitioners |
conflicted. The Cresson people were |
in first and the court made that place
a borough, saying at the time that he
would also incorporate Sankertown if
the boundaries could be so arranged
that they did not overlap the Cresson
territory. This was done and the sec-
ond new borough began its existence.
