"A strong effort is beng made ly the
citizens OF this end of Franklin township to
have erected an Independent school district
to include the Two schools on Union Hill
and the three schools in East Weissport.
For this purpose petition lately was
circulated, and viewers were appointed by
the April Court who will hear argument for
and against at the Franklin House to-day
friday. The direct purpose of the pro.
posed scheme is a very commendable one
in every particular; it is designed specially
to give the people better schools and a
louger school term. These arguments
alone are all that should be necessary for
the success of the effort. Let all who
favor the erection of an Independent dis
trict turn out en- mdsse to push their claims
which alike are praiseworthy and intelli-
gent.
"A fourteen year old boy named VIII
Sudders, whose parents reside on Union
Hill, went to sleep in Ruch's lime kiln on
Monday night, and but for the timely an
pearance of William Kreamer the follow
ing morning, would have passed in his
checks and cimed the golden stairs. The
boy is one of family of fourteen and lis
pareuts are said to be very poor; last fall
he lost leg on the railroad and since his
living has been such that the proper author
tiles should pay some attention to his
needs. The boy had no one to look after
him Tuesday while the noxious gasses fill
ed him with sickening pain. Let the poor
authority take him in charge.
"A platform 16x1S feet with benches
has been erected permanently in the Pub
lie Square through the lndefatigable efforts
of John s. Miller who is to be congratu-
lated heartily on the success of the inn
provement. Now, if the borough author
tiles would only roll up their sleeves and
make an effort to have the park leyeled off
and new trees planted they could make
themselves solid with our people. Gentle
men do something.
Jonathan Leibensberger by right of
purchase has become the sole owner of two
trotters. They are not beautiful to look
upon, nor we don't suppose they are of
the kind for which King Dick wanted to
barter his kingdom, nevertheless they
are horses just the same and John swears
by the southeast corner of Franklin that
they both get therefor hay and oats three
times day.
The item last week saying that Miss
Whitehead has been superintendent of the
Evangelical infant school for five years is
an error, she has held that position since
January 1st, prior TO that she was the able
assistant and Mr.. William Kreamer was
the superintendent.
Lydia Sheckler, of Parryville, had Max
Rosen 5lut pulled in by the strong arm OF
the law for ATTEMPTED rape The scales OF
justice were balanced in Squire Buck's
court and Max ponyed up $40 for his in
discreet behavior.

Lewis Fein, of ParrYville, prosecuted
Lydia Sheckler, for larceny in SOUR,
Bucks court recently. The case is pecul
Jar one, and Carbon county jurors car
wrestle with it at the next term of court.
The friends of Prohibition claim Weiss
port by small majority. The town couldn
get into better company if she'd try, so sh,
might as well clasp hands gracefully will
her new friends.
