Result of Enterprise.

G.. w. Miller, who has lived on q
farm about four miles out from Reyn-
oldsville for twenty-five years and who
was married in the neighborhood of six
months ago, moved to Big Run two
weeks ago, where he erected for himself
a beautiful brick house in the latest
modern style. The house is heated by
steam and has hot and cold water in all
the rooms. Reynoldsville having been
Mr.. Miller's address until his removal
to Big Run, we naturally look upon him
as being from Reynoldsville and wish
him success in his new home. Twenty
two years ago Mr.. Miller grappled the
realities of life with two hundred dol
lars in cash, and he is now worth many
thousands. This is simply evidence OF
what courage and enterprise will bring
man to. The panic Of 1894 made
Mr.. Millers venture-he and his brother
bought a farm for over six thousand
dollars on time-look anything but
encouraging. BY the strictest economy,
however, they successfully stemmed the
financial tide and are now in the bank
ing business in Big Run. Amos Strouse
has bought 1877 acres of the Miller farm,
which includes the buildings on the
farm. G. w. expects to take life COM
paratively easy now.

Exhibitions Of Rowdyism.

The Dubois Courier Of. Monday morn
ing devoted half column to the young
rowdies of Reynoldsville who are mean
and devilisb enough to snow ball sleigh
ing parties that visit our town. II was
our intention before the Courier article
appeared to call attention to this fact and
suggest that something be done TO put
stop to 1t for the credit Of the town at
least for people do not have good inn
preston of place where the boys act
as II they were not even civilized. II
the parents of the young hoodlums of
this town have no control over them,
then the police should take them in
hand. We are sorry that the Courier
uttered the truth about the conduct Of
our town boys.
While the Courier was wound up on
the subject of rowdyism we wonder why
1t did not tell OF the conduct Of the Du-
Bois boys not later than Saturday night.
II reporter OF the Courier had been at
the corner OF Long and Brady avenues
shortly after ten o'clock Saturday
night he would have witnessed little
Dubois rowdyism similar to that re-
ferred to in Mondays Courier, only
there were no girls in the case. II was
sled load Of boys, we did not learn
from whence they came, who were
treated to a snowballing from the Du-
Bois boys. Three Reynoldsville boys who
are not able to raise mustache yet,
drove to Dubois Saturday night and
they were assailed by snow ball bri-
gade, in which an ''imp" of the Comier's
night force took hand. A sled load OF
ladies and gentlemen from Reynolds
Vile were in Dubois the night just
mentioned and were greeted with vol
leys of snow balls from the angelic
'kids" of our neighboring town.
We are not defending Reynoldsville
rowdyism, for we most emphatically
denounce such conduct, but we mention
the Dubois rowdyism so the Courier
can begin at home to correct boys and
then what it says about other boys will
be better received. People who live in
glass houses had better not throw
stones. The good people of Dubois do
not encourage the boys TO SNOWFALL Wis
itors, neither do the good people of our
town encourage such conduct, but IL
should be stopped in both towns.

Will Have Electric Light.

Samuel Tilton Reynolds, who has just
erected three story brick block in
Reynoldsville, is getting enterprising,
and we understand he will ask the town
council at its next meeting to grant a
right of way for an electric light plant
in this place. An electric plant would
be paying investment and we are glad
Mr.. Reynolds has the courage to give
Reynoldsville additional city airs. Don't
discourage the enterprise.

Don't Miss 1t.

Chaplain McCabe is humOrist; he is
an orator: he is a forcibe and pleasing
speaker, having the power to carry his
hearers from uproarious laughter into
tears of sympathy and sorrow; then fill
ing them with patriotism and love of
country, will bring forth an involuntary
outburst Of cheers from his audience
over a beautiful and eloquent refer
ence to some historical deed, the
recollections of which well up in every
patriotic heart and find common re-
sponse from every lip. 1t was thus Mr.
McCabe carried his hearers last night
from one state OF feeling TO another
throughout his lecture. He studiously
avoided all references to the past of a
nature to kindle any unkindly feelings,
and he said naught that the most sensi-
tive individual could take exception to.
