IS. j. Setley has adorned the
front of his property in upper Tic.
nesta with a new sidewalk. This is
the first sidewalk to be erected in

the residences in that part of the
borough.

ion of the road last Sunday and it
will undoubtedly prove success, as
the first train was we'll patronized. 1t

Considerable work has been done
on the streets of the borough during
the past week, but it seems to be al
most impossible to get men to work,

own taxes, why don't you hire some
one else, or give the money to the

Some fellow has a new cure for
the liquor habit that is said to work

the Kelley cure. Hear him: "Get a
bowl of ice water and raw potato,

and suck it every time you think you
must have the whisky"
One of the consequences of the
late freezing weather is the death OF
many sheap that were sheared before
the freeze and turned loose without
sufficient shelter. One farmer near
Carlton, Mercer county, lost ten ewes,
each of which left lamb. No doubt
