Undeserving of Aid.

An unkempt Irish woman has been
"doing" the town the past week solicit
ing aid and frightening timid women.
The dilapidated creature claims she
has son near Luthersburg whom she
wants to visit, but on account of a Grip
pied foot she cannot walk to her destin-
alton, and consequently goes from house
to house asking for aid to help her on
the journey. Where the people refuse
to give her any assistance she uses vile
and abusive language. The woman is
unworthy Of aid but is deserving the
attention Of our borough officers as a
public nuisance. She is contemplate
impostor who spends what money is
given to her for beer and whiskey.

Too Fast for Bicycle,

On Saturday evening, the 11th inst,
three gentlemen from this place, in
company with DR.. Bennett, OF Brook
vile, were driving to the latter place
and when near Emerickville were over
taken by young man on bicycle, who
attempted to pass them. The man on
the wheel would not ask to be allowed
to pass, and after several attempts did
succeed in riding by the two buggies,
and after making some insulting re-
marks started on at lively gait down
the road. Although Mr.. Bennett is
the Oldest doctor In the county and
drives a sixteen-year-Old colt, this was
too much for him, and he decided to
give the bicycle race. He gathered
up the lines, applied the "persuader"
and his colt soon 'struck a gait" that
was too fast for the man on the wheel,
who was again compelled to ride in the
dust stirred up by DR.. Benefits nag.

go, New York state where they lived

Killed by the Cars.

John, eleven-year-old son OF Lucinda
Brink, widow, was killed In the A. V.
Ry yard at this place last Friday morn
ing. Local freight was shifting cars
near the freight house and the boy
attempted to cross the track In front Of
the moving cars. A brakeman who
was riding on the front box car warned
the boy not to make the attempt and
thought the boy had not tried to cross
the track but he had tried IL and two
cars and the engine ran over him before
any person knew the accident had hap
pened. The boy was terribly mangled
and was unconscious when picked up.
He lived about ten minutes. Mrs.
Brink Is charge on the borough and

An Old Lady Gone,

Another one OF the old settlers OF
Beechwoods has been placed beneath
the sod OF the Beechwoods cemetery.
On Wednesday, Aug. %, the pale horse
and its rider called for Mrs. Jane
Smith, relict OF Andrew Smith who
passed through the portals OF death
in county Derry, Ireland, in September,
1907; came to America in 1922. Her
maiden name was Mcintosh. The
funeral services were held in the Beech
woods Presbyterian church on Friday,
conducted by the pastor, Rev. Geo r..
Hill, assisted by Rev. ID. A. Platt, pas
tor Of the Beechtree M. f.. church.
The funeral was largely attended as
old "auntie" Smith was known for
many miles around. She breathed her
last at the homestead where she had
raised seven children who survive her.
The Brockwayville Record says: "Mrs.
Smith was member OF the Presbyter-
ian church, and an active communicate
until the feebeness OF old age prevented
her attendance. Hers was domestic
nature, yet her home duties did not
prevent her from taking deep, neigh
borly interest in the community around
her. Mr.. Smith was a sociable man
who enjoyed the society OF his neigh
bors, and the hospitality OF himself and
wife became noted. The latch string
Of the Smith homestead was always out,
and few neighbors passed without an
invitation to enter"
Ninian Cooper, Of this place, attended
the funeral. He had known the woman
from his infancy, for she was the first
person to hold him in her arms when
he was born into this world SO years
ago. At that time there we're only
three little log cabins in the Beehwoods
and they were close together, and the
nearest dwelling to them was ten miles
aWay,

Out for a Good Time.

A peaceable and fine looking crowd

place, invaded this city last Thursday

School Begins Monday.

Next Monday the public schools Of
this borough will begin the winter
term. This year twelve rooms will be
open TO dispense knowledge to the youth
OF our town. Heretofore the scholars
have been laboring under disadvan-
tage by being crowded into eight rooms
IL all the children OF the town who
should be In school would attend twelve
rooms would not accommodate them
There Is no secret about the fact that
there are boys and girls In our town
too many OF them-whO do not like to
attend school and they offer all manner
Of excuses TO get staying out OF the
school room and, too often, the parents
are not as strict along this line as they
should be. The boys and girls do not
always appreciate and embrace the OPP
portunities afforded them TO get good
common school education and II becomes
the duty OF the parents TO execute their
authority In the matter. Many q boy
Is now drifting In the sea Of life regu-
lar numskull simply because the parents
were too easy with him when he was
foolish enough TO rather work or do
anything else than go TO school. When
n boy gets past school days then he re-
pents OF his folly and neglect, but, alas,
too late. The school room may lack
the attraction pupils long for and books
may be dry and hard to master, but the
boy or girl who picks up book with a
determination 10 master IL will find the
work pleasanter and much easier to
accomplish than the boy or girl who
takes II up just because they are com
PEELED to. Education Is not matter OF
pleasure but II Is necessary duty and
no excuses should be accepted for
neglect Of this duty. When school
commences next Monday every boy and
girl who Is going to attend the term
should be present on the first day, and
not get an absent mark during the
term unless for sickness. This not only
gives the scholar a chance but IL also
gives the teacher an opportunity to
help the pupil. The scholar that Is
absent one or two days each week will
not be much OF a credit TO himself,
teacher or any one else. Make this an
exceptional year for faithful attend
ance at school. The parents should
earnestly cooperate with the teachers
In knocking "hookey" entirely out OF
the Reynoldsyille schools.

Will Paw For Feast.

Six or seven young men Of Driftwood
longed for watermelon feast but there
was no melon patch to raid and their
ready cash was not thing OF abun-
dance, consequently to satisfy their
desire for water-me1on some plan other
than paying for the fruit must be de-
vised. The A. v. R'y was hauling
melons through that town by the car
load, and who would ever find it out II
they helped themselves to few water
melons, reasoned the boys. They did
help themselves to the number of 120
water-melons. Addlesperger, the little
wiry detective of this place, was noti-
fed of the shortage in melons and he
visited Driftwood several times. Last
Saturday he arrested six Driftwood
young men for taking water-melons
that did not belong to them.
