Plenty Room for Speculation.
What is Said About Likely
Appointments.

1 saw Tom" Beddall to-day. Heis now
convalescent and able to take short walks.
His battle with the large carbuncle on his
neck has pulled him down somewhat.
Those who have not nursed carbuncles can
form no idea Of the suffering they cause.
They are dangerous, and sometimes prove
fatal Although TON" shows the effects
of his suferings, he says he feels like
new man, which is generally the result of
a successful recovery.

William Horn, of Brandonville, was

who was formerly popular outside fore

sistant Postmaster Dengler is to become
ticket agent at the Lehigh depot, in the
event of the Reading depot being aban-

Max Reese is to become transatlantic
representative, with headquarters at Pal
estine. Monroe Kehler and Jim" Grant
have quiet deal They are said to be
bssing hopes on appointments as travelling
passenger agents for the Rsppsbannock
branch.
]. Robbins, of Pottsville, who was in
town Saturday, is hustler. He could
now retire from business with enough to
enable enjoyment of quiet life, but his
ambition and energy debsrs such step.

continually crowded by those who vote

inexhaustible and should your spirits drop
low at any time visit to his place will
build you up again.
