DRIFTON ITEMS. Before the summor is over tho resi dents of town will probably have the satisfaction of seeing the hall, which was burned a few years ago, rebuilt. A village without its town hall is much in tho nature of a house without a roof, there are neither pleasure nor comfort in it, and the people of town will no doubt hail its erection with delight. During the few years past many gather ings of a social nature, which would have been amusement and recreation to the residents, had to bo passed over for want of a suitable place to hold them, but now that there is a possibility of having a hall at home brings with it a feeling of comfort when we think of the walk to and from Freeland, which was always considered pleasure with a ven geance. The men who worked retimbering No. 2 slope received their pay on Thursday, and expressed much dissatisfaction at the small wages paid them while at that dangerous work. However, the matter was speedily rectified when Superinten dent Kudlick'B attention was called to it. Early tomorrow morning a Hag will be raised on the- top of No. 2 breaker. It is G|xl2 feet, and will float every holi day. The flag was procured from con tributions made for that purpose by the employes of the breaker.
