Abraham Sordan of Baltimore. father in
law of NJ. Reese Dill, Esq, has been So
journing with Mr.. Dill for several days.
Mr.. Dill returned Friday from an extended
business trip east. He took in Lewisburg,
his former home, and Baltimore, where he
made arrangements with the BALTIC. & Ohio
Railroad Company to extend a telephone
wire on the company's telegraph poles from
this place to West Salisbury, for the private
use of the Boynton Lumber Co, Cumber-
land & Elklick Coal Co., Keystone Coal Co.
and Hooking mines. In the near future a
telephone wire for general use will be put on
same poles to connect Salisbury with this
place. which will bring both own within
speaking distance. Why don't our hotel
proprietors have telephone connections with
the railway station, for the accommodation
of the ever present commercial drummer?
Postmaster Hicks is back from rhiladel-
phia where he has been undergoing medi-
cal treatment for several weeks, and pur-
chasing his stock of Holiday goods. The
treatment did no benefit him much, but the
car load of Holiday goods he brought with
him leayes one of the opinion that he is
still a sStalwart." He has very nice Christ
mas~ goods-stalwart looking scores of them.
Sol Vile and Ed Hicks can be seen, too, at
the ~postotice.
Lou A. Smith wants the entire cussed
revenue tax taken off whisky. Why? he
wants Col. Scull kicked out of the Revenue

Scull is not ousted he will continue to be q
Coffroth- Koontz Republican, N of those
who so largely figured in the 255 votes cast
for Scientific Alex. at the last election.
Give Lou rope.
From bearings that used to hold good, We
are convinced that we are to havea regular
old-fashioned winter, with plenty Of snow
and cold weather.
The principal Independent Republican
headquarters in this place is now used as a
shooting gallery, where ali creeds and ma
tionalities of either sex mingle and shoot

Steam heating is 50 well liked here by
those now using it. that the Hartley Bros.

Our public schools are more than full,
and more room is badly needed. We also
need a good. large public hall for entertain
ments and lecturing purposes. 1t would be
a good investment for a man of capital.
The Knights of Pythias of this place will
hold a fair and festival during the Holidays.
Hon. A. J. Colborn spent a few hours
here on Monday. calling ON his friends and
- those by the wayside." Do not know
whether he saw Lou Smith, but think he
did guess he had to. Before the election
Lou said he could not and must not go to
Harrisburg sSain to represent us. What If
Lou A. don't give him o cprtifcate-q per-
nit? 1t is probable he will send hr. SorbeF
in place of Ajax. CHANcE.
