-Scowden & Clark sold three
wagons last Wednesday. How is that
for business? =? This enterprise has been
built up entirely on pluck, energy and
honest work, three very essential ele.
ments to success, and their work has
made for them q reputation that brings
business for miles around. They put
out only first class work, which always
speaks for itself.
The committee in charge has de-
cided on August % and 30, as the
time for holding the annual Sunday

The rig for the Duck & Sage we'll

Two of Messrs. Collins IL Co. S
barges, which left here for Pittsburgh

home last evening nursing a broken

The Lawrence & Smearbaugl
dam is undergoing a material chang
in construction. A new chute, sixty
feet in width is being put in to th'
right of the present one, which it j
thought will greatly facilitate the run

this is done Messrs. Collins & Co. pro
pose shutting the water off at the lef
of forge island, by running a win
dam from the head of the island to th
left hand shore, thus confniDg th
water, which is widest at that plac
than any other place on the creek, I
the right Of the leland. This ought t
make the running so easy at that poin
that blind man could pilot a raj
around without dipping an oar. The
expect to have the job completed b
f the first or middle of next week.
