Grocers Will Organize.
A meeting of the grocers of Freeland
will bo held in the Municipal building
on Tuesday evening of next week, the
10th inst. The object of the meeting is
to form a permanent organization of the
people engaged in this class of business.
A delegation of the Merchants* Protec
tive Association, of lla/.leton, was in
town last evening and impressed upon
their Freeland brethern the advantages
to bo gained by organizing a branch of
the association here.
In nearly every town throughout the
state the grocers are now organized for
mutual protection, and. although simi
lar bodies have in the past failed to
accomplish tho objects sought, the
present association has been successful
to a degree which makes its members
enthusiastic and anxious to extend it*
benefits to every town in Pennsylvania.
Wherever they are organized, tho
grocers have found that their business
can be conducted with but slight risk of
incurring bad debts. The rules of tho
association provide ways and moans to
prevent fraudulent buyers from victim
izing more than ono business man, and
in a short while the dead-beats are com
pletely eliminated from tho grocers'
books.
Those belonging to the association
also claim that tho organization provides
for various other matters which cause
the average retail dealer much worry
and anxiety, and nearly all the local
men are imbued with the belief that a
branch Is badly needed here to rectify
abuses which have crept into their busi
ness.
Tho committee on organization invites
all grocers, whether their business is
large or small, to attend Tuesday overl
ing's meeting, when tho objects will bo
more fully explained and tho experiences
of dealers who have benefitted by their
membership will be given.
To Form New Union.
Council has granted the request of
Slavonian and Polish residents of town
for permission to use the public mooting
room on Sundays, the Bth and 15th Inst.
Tho purpose of the meeting is to organ
ize a new union of the citizens of these
nationalities. The objects of the union
are many, and embrace the following:
To protect themselves and their country
men in legal matters, by providing
counsel for people who require tho same
before local and county courts; to pro
cure naturalization papers, at a mini
mum cost, for all Slavonians and Poles
who are qualified; to ilct unitedly in
political affairs, so that the interests of
their people will be given just considera
tion. In general, tho new union is to
look after tho welfare of Slavonians and
Polos in every possible manner.
If the same can be ofTectod, a prelimi
nary organization will be the result of
tho lirst meeting. After that Is accom
plished, branches will he formed in
every town whore men of either nation
ality reside, and the projectors believe
that within a short while a strong union
will ho brought into existence.
Ono of the proposed features of the
new organization Is that men engaged
in the liquor business will be barred
from mem bo rs hi p.
Will Go to Philadelphia.
Tho Citizens' lloso Company, at a
mooting on Wednesday ovoning, doclded
to attend tho parade ot tho firemen of
tho state, to bo hold at I'hiiadolphla
during tho oarly part of next month.
Tho parade is ono of tho features of tho
annual meeting of tho Pennsylvania
Firemen's Association, and the officers
of the organization expect that the
Philadelphia demonstration will be the
finest over conducted by thorn.
Tho Citizens' Company consists of
fifty-two men, all handsomely uniform
ed, and the members fool satisfied that
they will present a creditable appear
ance on parade.

teresting ever tried in Schuylkill coun
ty. Mrs. Elizabeth Burmelster sues to
recover 810,000 damages from the bor
ough of Ashland for the loss of her hus

band was stricken with tho disease.
