The Appeal is glad to see the
story of Sam Jones mental troubles
contradicted. His head Is all right
like his heart, which was always
all right.
Sam Jones has spent the best
part OF his years IN the lower
levels directing the workings of the
mines and bringing to bear upon
the work, superior mental attain
ence. 1t is time that he took a
rest and thousands of his friends
will be glad to know that he has
an opportunity of taking it.

Mr.. Gross, chairman on committee on
fire, water and gas, who were instructed at
last meeting TO ascertain most desirable
site, price of lot and cost of erection OF
fire engine house, reports that they have
examined several lots and IN their opinion
the lot on northeast corner Second and
East streets is the most desirable. The
Billmeyer, ct. al, have offered to sell it
to the town for $500 per foot. The
frontage will be about 81 feet, four feet OF
which will be given to the town. The cost
of erection of a building in manner pro-

The continued cutting of timber through
out the state has so depleted the wood
lands that the lu mbermen are now attack
ing groves Of trees wherever they can find
them. Along the creek on the Rupert
road, mills have been al work, and what
has long been known as "Barton's Grove"
has entirely disappeared. Years ago, this
was one OF the many popular resorts for
picnic parties, and large number of the
middle aged people OF this town will re-
member many pleasant hours spent In this
grove in their childhood's days. The trees
on the lower side Of Barton's bridge have
also been cut down, and the work has been
commenced on the little grove this side OF
the bridge. This will probably go on un-
til all the trees along the creek on both
sides are gone.
Some years ago the ravine on the other
side of the river at the ferry was popular
picnic grounds. There was plenty Of
shade, pleasant rambles over the hills and
along the river shores, boating, fishing and
other pastimes In the days of The Carver
regime at the Normal School, the students
frequently took Saturday rambles over
there. Now many of the treesI are gone.
the spring is polluted, and the railroad
track has spoiled the walks along the
banks.
SO 1t Is everywhere. The groves are
disappearing before the march Of railroads
and the woodman's axe. There are very few
accessible places left where the people Of
Bloomsbury can spend a summers day in
the woods. The Rupert grove is small.snd
has no convenlences, and the only other
| pleasure ground is Oak Grove. This has
been fitted up bya company at great ex-
pense. Water pipes from the town mains
supply fountain, an ice coolerl and
water closets. A dancing pavilion, tables,
| swings, a kitchen, eating stands, and other
| buildings in rustic architecture, are scat
tered over the grounds. Oak Grove has
been visited by large railroad excursion
| parties frequently, and all have expressed
great satisfaction with the location and the
| acccmodations. But the lease of the COM
pany will expire next year, and then unless
the people of the town shall take some ac-
| ton this beautiful grove, like all others,
will fall. The grove has not been appre-
| ciated and patronized as It should have
been, and perhaps, as is frequently the
case, its merits will! not be fully known,
and the need of such a resort will not be
greatly felt until it is thing of the past.
Such place as Oak Grove would be a
valuable property for the town to own, and
| if it would dispose of the so-called "Park"
that is used only for ball games and circus
grounds, and purchase grove for the use
of all the people, the town authorities
would be doing great public service.

Its size, its concentration of
more than forty stores in one,
its helps to your comfort while
buying, its well-known record of
best values at fair prices-these
are all part of an .oft-told story
to you. In your occasional
visits to Philadelphia you've
doubtless fully tested the store
and its resources. It's meant
to be another home to you.
But do you know that wher-
ever you are the store and its
goods are as near as if you
were here to look and choose
and buy ?
You can a17te for what you
want and be as we'll served as
if buying in person.
We've told you of the people
skilled in goods and their val
ues who fill your written orders,
giving you freely of their ex.
perience and knowledge that
you may have the best we have
at the::price-and that means::the
best at the price anywhere.
And we've told you of the il
lustrated General Catalogue,
which brings TO your home the
goods of the many stores that
make up Wanamaker's-a book
so arranged and indexed that
you can find the price of any
