The left ears Of the School Directors must
have been annoyingly itching during the
past week. Every cool nook in the town
was kept pretty warm discussing the hitch on
the board and the merits or dement's Of
unanimously warm and one-sided, and that
the treasurership and the means of election.
If the grave charges alleged are true, then in.
deed our board throws the Buffers completely
in the shade However, it may be that all
these ugly rumors emanated from tempera-
ments soured by disappointment, and of
course, like all vaporings, will present moth
ing tangible in court. One thing is certain,
the displacement of Jerry Price has met with
most pronounced disapproyal by the majority
Of our people. He has been one of the most
efficient and obliRing of our officials and is

nues of the position. Then, too the board,
had it not been dead to all sense Of obliga-
tons, should have re elected him.
Our borough fathers are busy as bees in
May trying to secure a water supply for our
borough. Now that the town is financially
on good footing they are acting ON every
practical suggestion offered. Some time ago
a wiseacre, that knows every ravine and rivu
let in our environment, told our borough
solons Of beautiful stream, whose silvery
tones, prattling over the rocks and dancing
through mossy banks, was just what they
sought It. Of course, had a never failing
supply and the "water committee" with
a few friends all full-of expectancy
the stream designated. Imagine their feel
/ ings, after toiling under a hot sun for half an
hour, to discover a stream that would not fill
water bucket in half an hour. Our official
being very thirsty endeavored to slack his
thirst, but his dry" was too much for the
capacity of the "silvery rivulet and he
drank it dry.

messy man with history worth knowing
Born in the Emerald Isle in one of its richest
and greenest counties, he at an early age took
service on board of one of Her Britanic
Maiestys line of battle ships, and sailed the
raging marine until he had enjoyed the
unique experience of having circumnavigated
the globe. Like all his countrymen, he had
yearning for the Stars and Stripes and after
his time of service in the British navy had
expired he took ship for the United States,
where he enlisted as jolly tar under Uucle
Sam. After his services for our country ter
minated, he wandered into the coal regions,
and four years ago, while walking on the
Reading road near Middleport, was struck by
a locomotive which dislocated his vertebr@.
He was removed to the Miners Hospital,
where he remained patient for three years,
One year ago he left the hospital a cripple
for life, and since then he has endeayored to
support himself by keeping cigars, tobacco
and candies. If our people wish to learn
something instructive concerning any other
part of the habitable globe just stepint the
little shop opposite the Meredith House and
be courteously entertained.
We met a very enthusiastic Democrat on
Wednesday who declares this is Democratic
year in this county from stem to stern. In
speaking of our delegate election he was
very positive that Lawler and Keifer would
be elected, and confdentially explained it
thus "John Lawler and Daniel Keifer are
straight-out Democrats whose political integ'
rity have never been questioned. They are
men without any axes to grind, and their fight
will be made without any Republican com
binations coming to their assistance 1t is
pretty near time our friends, the enemy
keep their hands off our delegate elections
and as Lawler and Keifer are two men tina
will not brook such interference they have
the confidence of our people and will b,
elected. ! don't see what is to be gained by
big local fights 1t only leaves sores that some
times take years to heal up. This fgh
against these men is the result of a politica
score, and we hope for the good of the part!
the promoters Of it will not waste any NOR
energy in disrupting our Democratic friend
for the edifcation of the enemy. Mark m!
words every loyal Democrat will vote 70
Lawler and Keifer."
We do not like to reproach the patriotism
of our good people, but in the matter Of ou
