For the CARBON ADVOCATE.
LehightOn Now and Then.


It has been the privilege of Transitory"
to observe the great change, wrought in
more than half score of years, in the pro-
gress of your town and the enterprise Of
the citizens of Lehighton. Literary and
church facilities, as well as business con-
veniences, have augmented remarkably.
Not a great many years ago, when the citi-
zens applied for the county seat (Which, by
the way, should have been granted, as it is
the most beautiful and best adapted location
in the county,, Madam Rumor had it noised
abroad, "Lehighton supports six taverns
and no church; educational advantages of
public schools inferior" But at this juno
ture Lehighton can vie with any other
town of its size in these respects. Some
years ago | at various times passed through
this part of the country. Then things had
quite a different aspect; no business edifices
after city style, no banking institution, nor
numerous other indications of prosperity,
would greet the travellers eye as at present.
Your town of Lehighton can compliment
itself upon its standing in literary convent
ences, church facilities, business capacities,
&c. The banking institution in the center
of your town, under the auspices of compe-
tent and reliable officers, gives a new impe-
tus to the enterprise and prosperity of your
economical business fraternity; such as the
indomitable head of the pork establishment,
who spares neither time nor means to run
the machinery beneficial to the community
in general, which, notwithstanding the dis
appointments and hard times, is a great
blessing to the public. Such inyincible, GO
dat
ton with the well-founded integrity of the
rest of your citizens-and there are not only
few of this kind-with whom l have be-
come acquainted during my sojourn here,
command the respect of every unbiased citi-
zen. The last, but not the least, wish to
mention in this brief enconium is the print
ing establishment of the highly-esteemed
CARBON ADVOCATE, which publication is
issued weekly brimfull of spicy editorials,
local and general news, and which doubtless
was conducive, in d great measure, TO the
advancement Of the interests of the COM
munity. Hence it is self-evident that each
individual who patronizes and sustains the
CARBON ADVOCATE is, directly or indirectly,
supporting his own personal interests, pectl-
niarily and intellectually. " Transitory"
has been an attehtive reader of the ADyO-
CATE for some time, and hesitates not to say
that such journal merits, yea, deserves,
the patronage of every family in Lehighton
and in the county in which it is published
that can read the English language, The
paper loses nothing by passing the boundary
line, as all will be wiser for it and gamers
in the end in pecuniary sense. The pro-
prietor has apparently bestowed much labor
and means upon the enterprise to enhance
the interest of tho CARBON ADVOCATE, as
well as to promote the general welfare of
the community. TRANstToRY.

Obituary.

Anna Mary Raudenbush, daughter of
Anthony ana Eve Willower, was born in
Bucks County, this State, on the I'd day of
November, 1903. She married Anthony
Raudenbush, deceased, which union was
blessed with six children, five sons and one
daughter. Three of the sons and the
daughter have preceded the mother to the
spirit world, leaving two sons, j. w. Rau-
denbush, our present worthy Sheriff, and A.
W. Raudenbush, of this borough, as the
only survivors. For some years past the
deceased has suffered more or less with that
fell disease, consumption. About five
weeks ago she was attacked with infamma-
ton of the bowels, since which time she
had been confined to her bed, her sufierings
being marked with Christian fortitude and
resignation, until about 4:3O o'clock on
Monday afternoon, the l1th instant, when
she sweetly fell asleep in Jesus, leaving a
blessed record for piety and Christian char
ity, and two sons, a number of relations, and
a large circle of friends to mourn their loss,
but not, as such, having no hope beyond the
tomb. Deceased was aged "A years, 3
months and days. The remains were
inferred in the Weissport Cemetery on
Wednesday afternoon, Revs. j. c. Bliem
and j. b. Whitton officiating, the funeral
ceremonies being attended by vast con-
course of citizens from various parts of the
county. RequiGScat in pace.
