SO, but feel it to be a painful duty rather, :
call the attention Of our Chief Burgess TO tn
wretched condition, in many cases, Of tn
sidewalks throughout our borough. Ou
neighbors around us, fired with commend
able spirit of improvement, are remodelinl
and repairing their old hard time sidewalks
Why not little of that spirit spread out il
this direction2 Surely none of them have
boroughs more favored by nature than ours
But what signifies charming flower gardens
yernal foliage, and handsome ladies, when
the pedestrian on the sidewalks dares moi
turn his head to look at them for fear o
falling into a hole from which he only picks
himself up to make off for the vender Of
salves and liniments? And then there are
numerous instances Of little stagnant pools
of water which by and by Will breed pcsti-
lence. 1t is hoped that Burgess Kuntz will
take this matter very seriously to heart.
The large and valuable iron mine near
Focelsville, known as Kramlich's ore bed,
was last week re-started with a strong force
of hands, and large quantities Of the miner
al are now again being raised and shipped to
the Crane Furnaces at Catasauqua.
The Legislature has passed the bill fin
ally "to encourages the training and improve
ment Of horses" 1t declares that the exist
ing laws against racing, enacted in 1920,
should not apply to agricultural societies
offering premiums for trials speed in hors-
es walking, trotting, and pacing or to
trials of speed in horses in any incorporated
driving park. The act has been approved
by the Governor, and is now a law. The
trotting or racing at fairs is one of their
principal attractions, is attended with no de-
moraizing effects, and is certainly a great
stimulant to the cultivation of the highest
breeds of the noble animal.
The wife of D. d. Jones, n well known
slate operator at SIatington, died on Thurs

in1ammatory rheumatism.

Says Mondays Ledger: The future of
the anthracite coal trade we think brightens
little. There is fair demand for coal in
the present and a near future promise of an
advance in the prices of coal. The prices
of some of the smallest sizes of coal were re-
duccd very slightly after the auction sale of
coal at New York, but with that exception
there is no change in the situation. The
production of coal, however, barely keeps
pace with the demand by reason of one i'm.
pediment or another at various places in
the coal regions. The supply of coal thus
lcssening the orders for coal are more nu-
merous and the demand for it more urgent
There is believed to be an existing demand
for all the coal for which there is trans
portation facilities to put into the market
This, it is believed, will obviate the neces
sity OF calling a half months suspension, q:
has been hintcd, or, indeed, of any suspen-
| sion at all at this time.
One of the school board inspectors asked
