Two gentlemen from Dubois were in
Reynoldsville last week hunting up
candidates for the Sanitarium at that
town. The gentlemen had been victims
of the liquor demon and were cured at
the Dubois institution.
We were mistaken in our notice Of
Mrs. Waylands death last week. She
was sister of Andy Baum, and not
| Peter Baum. Her husbands name was
Jesse instead of James and he has been
dead a number Of years.
The sheriff of Elk county passed
through Reynoldsville over the A. V.
| R'y last Thursday with four men whose
destiny was the penitentiary. One for
a shooting affair, one for highway rob
berry and two for keeping gambling den
in Ridgway.
The oyster supper in the Paradise
Grange hall last Friday night was
attended by the largest and most orderly
|
gather in that section for many day.
Seventy-six dollars was the proceeds of
the evening.
A scholarship to the Correspondence
school of mines at Scranton, Pa,
can be secured at this Office on
Reasonable terms. A scholarship in
this school would be good investment
| for young men who expect to following
work in the mine for livelihood.
Rev. Jas. Jones, Baptist minister
Of Johnsonburg. preached two able
sermons in the Reynoldsville NJ. f..
church last Sunday. Rev. Jones is
| fluent talker and his logic is sound
Johnsonburg need not hesitate to
ter.
The school directors of Winslow
township held special meeting at
Hotel Mcconnell last Saturday and
elected Miss Molie Mills, of this place,
as teacher of the Steele school to fill
the vacancy made by the death of Miss
Vennetta Patterson, whose sudden
demise we mentioned last week
Mrs. Mary j. Durnell. of Grampian
Hills, mother of Mrs. A. B. Weed, Of
this place, died at her home on the oath
inst, after a short illness, at the age of
sixty-seven years and four months.
Mrs. Weed was at her bedside when she
died, and Mr.. Weed and Miss Lulu
Creighton drove over from Dubois to
attend the funeral Friday.
a union temperance meeting was
held in the Nj. +. church on Monday
evening and was well attended. The
choirs of the Baptist, Presbyterian
and Methodist churches were to furnish
the music, but the NJ. T.. choir, with
the assistance of Will Green of the
Presbyterian choir, were the singers
| for the occasion. Revs. j. G. McEntire,
speakers.
If some of the sleighing parties that
have visited Reynoldsville during the
present ''sleighing party mania that
has seized the people this winter, would
look upon our town as rough place
wherein dwells some ill-bred boys, who
could gainsay the statement? When
boys will congregate along Main street
and fire volley after volley of snow balls
at sled load Of ladies who come to our
town for pleasure trip, and no one at
tempt to put stop to it, can we be con-
sidered highly civilized town? Such
actions on the part of boys is contempti-
BILE and deserves to have speedy end
ing. II a few arrests were made it
would put stop to the despicable habit.
1t will be remembered by many OF the
voters of this borough that there was
some difficulty last spring about the
election returns, the election board
having made their returns without
designating the respective offices to
which the candidates getting the most
votes were elected. Esq. e. Neff got
his commission from the Governor of
the State for Justice of Peace for five
years. The school directors got their
notice OF election and were sworn in for
three years. If they were duly elected,
which few people seem to doubt, then
there are only two school directors to
be elected this month. The election
notice posted up says there are four to
be elected. The Republicans only nomi-
mated two school directors at the caucus
last evening, which is evidence that
they think there are only two to be
elected.
