HAWLEY.

The Hawley Glass company are now
working both furnaces on full time
and everything looks very favorable for
good season, as orders are now COM
Ing In and the outlook is good Benja-
min Hoffman, who, for a number OF
years, has been runnig portable steam
saw-mill on the Pennsylvania Coal COM
pany's lands. has moved his mill to this
place and will locate 1t on the fat near
the Hawley Glass company's factory
and will manufacture box boards for
the Hawley Glass company. There is a
large quantity Of second growth pine
timber near here which will supply the
mill for some time to come. Mr.. Hoff
man will employ several men and a
number of teams. This new enterprise
will, no doubt, be good thing for our
town and give employment to a number
Of men.
A new company under the name of
the Hawley Coal company has been
formed and will screen and wash the
coal which Is now lying in large piles Of
culm back of where the old gravity
plain No. 1S used to be. and will ship
the coal to market from here. Various
estimates have been made as to the
amount of coal to be obtained. No
doubt large quantity will be found
fit for shipping and it will prove pay
ing investment for the company. Work
has been begun for the foundations for
the buildings, and it Is thought that
the plant will be in operation soon.
The rebuilding of the Bellemonte
silk MILL which was destroyed by fire
on Aug. II, is progressing rapidly. The
roof is all on the plastering is nearly
done, floors nearly all laid, and within
a few weeks the building will be ready
for the machinery, which will be new
and of the most improved style. Work
on the mill has been pushed as rapidly
as possible and it will be but few
months before the looms and other ma
| chinery will again be in motion. giving
employment to the usual number of
hands. Outwardly the mill looks but
little different than before the fire, as
but one Of the walls fell during the fire,
and that was the rear wall along the
river.

Men will soon be dissatisfied with
printed interviews, more or less cor
rectly reported. They will insist up
on hearing the interyiewee, upon
listening to the discourse of the
fashionable orator, hearing the
actual song, the very voice OF the
diva whose first appearance was
made over night. What but the
Photographic journal can give them
all this /? The voices of the whole
world will be gathered up in the
celluloid rolls which the post will
bring, morning by morning, to the
subscribing hearers. Wallets and Ia

put them in place, the axle Of the

He Belonged TO no Church.

81 knowed an ole man who died the
odder day without rellgun,' said
Brother Gardner as he opened the
meeting. "Some of de people who
stood aroun' his death-bed an saw
de smile on his face as he sunk away
in death could not make it out. He
belonged to no church-he worship
ped with no congregation, an dey
wondered dat lie died content.
mo, dis ole man had no religun,
accordin' to dc way Christians put
it, but l know'd him long an we'll.
In de fust place, he was honest. All
de money in de world wouldn't hev
been temptashun to him. In de
mex place he was forgivin' an con-
scienshus; if people wronged him,
hc would excuse an forgive 'em. If
he wronged anybody he would go
down on his knees to make it right.
"Dis ole man paid his homes
debts. To him debt was as sacred
as holy writ. He had kind words
fur all. Neber was man so bad
dat dis ole man couldn't say suntbin'
good of him. He respected de law;
he upheld all that was moral an vir-
chus; he was without envy.
An as de April sun sunk in dc
heavens dis ole mans time had
come. He said good-by to de world
in whisper, an he was not afraid.
De settin' sun poured its last beams
of glory trew the winder obber his
black face, an it lighted up with
SIGH radiance dat we stood dar an
held our briefs. 1t was de end of .
man who called no man his pastor,
an took no church fer his guide, but
when de last mint come de joys of
Heaven we're so plainly seen in his
face dat we shouted fer glory.
"An' so he died, an SIGH was de
end fer what de world calls sinner.

The Blue and the GRAY.

Very peacefully they rest,
Who, in life by peace unblessed,
Caught the warcry, fierce and shriIl,
Felt the battles shock and thrill,
Heard the dreadful lannon's roar
Death behind and death before
Fighting on the sea and land,
Foot to foot and hand to hand.
Very peacefully they rest
North and south and east and west
While the heaven descending dew
Falls alike on gray and blue,
While the cheering light of day
Shines on blue and shines on gray,
weary march and battle sore
Past for them forever more.
Very peacefully they rest,
And the babe whose cheeks they pressed
In last goodby have stood
Ger their graves in proud manhood,
And in holy wedlock true
Pighted hearts of gray and blue
In the light of hearthstone fires
Tell the deeds OF soldier sires.
