Grand Concert and Recital.

Mr.. Edward e. Howe, organist of the
Presbyterian church, of Hazleton, is
preparing an interesting entertainment,
the date OF which was advertised to be
on Monday evening, September 10, but
which is now postponed to the Goth. one
week later: This concert bids fair to be
of special importance to music lovers
and critics, because of the selections
chosen which are of universal fame.
The programme opens with fantasia
on airs from Wagner's opera "Tan-
hauser," written by the late Geo. W.
Morgan, one of the worlds great Or
ganists. Mr. Morgan performed this
fantasia at all his concerts on his recent
tour across the continent and it was re-
ceived with enthusiasm everywhere,
Mr.. Howe will conclude the programme
with Rossini's ''Taneredp' overture, a
sparkling piece written by this illustri
GUS composer.
Mrs. Howe will play Beethoven's
'Sonta Pathetique." This great COM
position was probably never heard in this
section of the country, and it deserves
the attention of all musical students.
Mrs. 2. v. Weaver, of Hazeton, has
kindly consented to sing Beethoven's
beautiful "Mignon." A chorus of twen-
ty select voices and the newly organized
Mountain City Male Quartette' will
assist.
Tickets for this concert are now on
sale at Keiser's book store, Hazleton,
and can also be obtained at the church on
the night of the concert. The admission
Is 30 cents. No reserved seats.

1t is none too early to consider who,
IN each town, would be the lest man
for road commissioner. This is, by
far, the most important town office.
No other town officer is clothed with
such arbitrary powers nor has the ham
ding of so much money. He is an
swerable to no one. The whole ques-
ton of good and poor roads in every
town for whole year is absolutely in
the hands of one person. See to it
that the best man is chosen.

Whether we like ii or not, the new
highway system must be thoroughly
tried. The law cannot be repealed in
less than two years. 1t is, then, plain
ly the duty of every citizen to take hold
and help to make this law just as SER
riceable to the State as possible. Very
much depends upon the man who is
elected road commissioner in each town.
An unfit man will expend the large sum
entrusted to his care in such way as
TO do little, if any, good. He may do
this, too, with the best intentions, or
he may do ii for his own financial gain.
In either case, so much money is lost.
A man who has good judgment and
who makes a success of his own busi-
ness should be chosen. He should be
man of executive ability, able to so
plan work that, while the necessary re-
pairs are made, as many bad places as
possible maybe replaced with permanent
road. Because one man has the sole
charge of allthe highways in each town,
L does not follow that he must person
ally look after every little job that is
done. There is nothing to hinder his
making a contract with some one in
every highway district to take charge
OF all the work in that district. If he
thinks that this is the best way IN
which to care for the roads of his town,
i Is his duty to do just this /; but lie
must see that these men do the work
as they agreed to do it. Or he can
make a contract with a man in each
highway district to do the repairing
only, while he personally superintends
The more important work. This is
likely to be the course adopted in many
towns and we think that it would be
The @isest one that could be adopted.
Looking at it in this light, it viii be
seen that there are many men in every
town who can do good service as road
commissioner; only, get the best man
possible.
