Interesting Letter From q Resident of
That Section.
EDITOR HERALD 1T is high time that
we citizens should look out In last Tues
days paper you all read the substance of
the solicitor and his Dandy Counoilmen.
We may ask them what is their motive for
holding this contest so long Right we'll
they must know, and right we'll us citizens
know, they are holding it up TO benefit
themselves, and make us pay the piper.
1t is an old proverb ''the hands that money
gets true it will stick TO them" We say
that is the Councilmen's idea Mr..
Pomeroy was pretty quick in borrowing
money. 1t is strange to us what he needed
this money for Nothing going ahead.
That does not hurt him. If the
money was raised it would benefit smart
men and hurt simple citizens. Lamb was
quick in making a motion. Gable lost no
time in seconding his motion. We count
these men smart men. Now Mr.. Mcclure
spoke as an upright man. Il is such men
we ought to hold in office. May ask my
brother citizens if Lamb, Gable and
others we're put to their oaths they wou d
say it is for the benefit of the citizens they
are holding this contest so long That is a
full stop. We citizens, if we were called
to Pottsville, can take an honest oath it is
to benefit our smart Councilmen. Let
every ward send in few lines to the
HERALD. 1t may put stop TO our smart
men who are looking first for relief. 1t
would be the citizens wish and the Read
ing Company's interest if Gable had to
quit the Council. We are sure it does
not belong to Gable, or any other
boss to look for such an Office. They hold
one Office under the comp by. That is
plenty. We wonder why Mr. Bradigan
don't stop this work. 1t is sure FIVE that
if the Council will get ahead there will be
plenty property men who will hsYe to sell
out. How can some of them pay their
tax ? They cannot. Let us citizens put
our heads together and uphold the old
water company. And let the same COM
pany call on us when they are called to
Pottsville Myself, for one, can tell more
of our Council than what is mentioned in
the HERALD. We have to pay for the
new court house at present and pay $685.
900 for water which we do not need.
Lamb and Gable say we want water. We
have any amount of water. Y.

School Days Again.

The Manchester Leader says this
anent the beginning Of the fall term Of
the schools throughout the land:
With the advent of September,
preparations are being made in every
household for resumption Of school
studies by the younger members.
There has been a great change since
Shakespeare's school boy crept, like
snail, unwillingly to school. There
are, doubtless, some children who still
regard their studies as hard tasks which
they would be glad to avoid, but the
majority 60 to school willingly enough,
because they are more intelligently in
structed than were their fathers, and
have better textbooks and moro enter
tanning exercises. The schools may
be no better now than they were fifty
years ago for earnest pupils anxious to
learn, but they are better for the great
majority of pupils, and this is shown
by the change in children's sentiments
toward schools and school life.
In these early days Of September
many young folks are looking forward
as eagerly to the reopening Of school
as i'll the early summer they looked
forward to vacation. They will &C
back to pleasant rooms, friendly associ-
ates, and find amusement, as we'll as
instruction, in their lessons. If theil
vacation has been wisely ordered, they
will go back in high health, with a
stock of vitality more than sufficient tc
last them through the term.
