A Good Country.

George w. Swartz, and son, Ammon,
arrived in Reynoldsville last Thursday
evening direct from Winter Haven,
Florida. When they left Florida the
thermometer registered so degrees in
the shade and when they arrived here
the Thermometer was below zero. The
contrast has been too great for Mr..
Swartz and he has been indisposed since
coming home. Five months ago Mr..
Swartz and his sons went south. Mike
and Willis will remain in Florida and
and Mr.. Swartz will return next
November. He has sixty acres Of good
land near Winter Haven, twelve acres
of which is an orange grove OF bearing
trees. After the frost destroyed their
twenty-four acres of tomatoes the latter
part Of December, Mr.. Swartz and his
sons replanted eighteen acres OF toma-
toes and five acres OF squash. This will
get them into the Philadelphia and
New York markets four or five months
later than the first crop, and the price
is then away down to what would have
been in February, the usual time to get
into the markets. Mr.. Swartz and his
sons are well pleased with the south.
The land is level and there is an abund-
ance Of long leaf yellow pine timber. Am
mon was the nimrOd in the party of
"tender-feet" from Reynoldsville. He
took great delight in hunting game and
sitting along the streams "hooking" the
finny tribe. Game and fish are plenty.
Ammon has since suffered for the sport
from malaria which he caught while
ensnaring the innocent fish, and for that
reason was compelled to return north.

Bond the Borough.

Are you in favor Of bonding the bor-
ough for $4,000, or do you want to
handicap the school directors and put
sprag in the wheels OF education? Reyn-
oldsville can better afford to do without
paved streets than to do without new
school building. Education is one of the
boasted powers of free America. Shall
we allow small increase of tax TO infu-
ence us from voting for the best interests
of home and country? 1t has been limited
that it is likely some of our citizens will
vote against this issue because there
are now two members on the board who
were active in serving the injunction on
the school board when they proposed to
erect two new school buildings in the
borough. We hope no intelligent citi-
zen of this borough will vote against
bonding the borough merely for revenge
or spite work. II man conscientiously
thinks 1t will not be wise to issue the
bonds and votes against it for that reas-
on, no man has a right to say aught
against him. Every man can use his
ballot as he pleases, but don't, for heav-
ems sake, don't rob the boys and girls
Of our town to pay some one back, ''in
their own coin," as you may say. 1t is
our opinion that one large school house
will be Of more benefit to Reynoldsville
than two small ones would have been,
and 1t can be kept up at less expense,
but as that Is not the question before
the tax payers now, we will not discuss
| II further.
Our people are we'll posted on the
necessity OF having more school room
and for this reason we believe the ma
jority will vote TO bond the borough.

"Why Is II ?"
ItOrnmiInIrntpd1


There seems To- be growing tendency
among the majority of our citizens to
put their foot down, so to speak, upon
every enterprise that is suggested for
the good Of the town. "Wby is it?"
Let one merely mention an enterprise
Of some sort to one of our moneyed men
and up goes his hands in holy horror,
as he exclaims, "Nol II will never
pay" Everything that is gotten up is
by the poorer class who earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow. The
cry is "Hard Times" What assists in
making them hard? Our moneyed men.
when they get hold of dollar clutch IL
until the eagle squawks, and then lock
1t up for fear of its getting away and
proceed 10 grasp for more. n per-
chance one of them does take hold Of
any project he expects all back that he
paid In the first three months What
cares he for the good Of the town, so
expects to erect Solomon's Temple on
tencent margin and reap therefrom
large dividends. Fie on such philan-
thropy. Can we always depend upon
the coal mines? Everything must have
an end and coal will run out. What
have we then to keep our town up?
Simply nothing. Our sister towns are
full of push and enterprise and have
manufactures to fall back upon, while
we have nothing. Let us waken from
our lethargy and offer inducements for
here. We had at one time Board of
Trade. Where is IL now? Echo an
swers: She sleeps while our neighbor-
ing towns capture and carry off the rich
prizes. And still we fold our hands like
the sluggard and exclaim, ''yet little
more sleep, little more slumber, lit
tie more folding of the hands to sleep"
Our town is still, whereas II our people
so will il, the hum and buzz of mills and
factories might be heard daily and in
stead Of our town being like unto Gold
smiths Deserted Village" it would be
veritable beehive, full of energy and
busy industry. "Why is it?' Let our
people ponder well and each one an
swer himself, "why is it?" Then waken
up, put their shoulder to the wheel and
in short time the old Reynoldsville
will be II thing Of the past and peace
and prosperity will reign, and our peo-
pie will be happy

A Big Wreck.

Three freight trains were involved in
a rear end collision at Carmon on the
b. II. g. p. last Tuesday, in which one
man was lost entirely, another man lost
an arm, and three or four others were
badly injured. Part Of the wreckage
was piled up on the bridge at Carmon.
All three trains were coming south and
the first section stopped to set off car
and the second section, an engine and
caboosc, was tagged, but the third sec
ton was not tagged in time to stop and
it crashed into the second section and
drove it into the first section. Some Of
tho men made miraculous escapes.

Fifteen couples from Brookville and
thirty couples from Dubois drove to

Host Black at Hotel Mcconnell about

At the Capitol.

The editor of this paper had the
pleasure last week Of treading the Leg
islative halls of this Commonwealth
and shaking hands with some Of the
Senators and Representatives that are
now at the Capitol framing laws for the
people Of the Keystone state. Since
the last session Of the Legislature a
large sum of money has been expended
in erecting new building, that would
be a credit to any state, and In improve
ments on some OF the old buildings.
Something like 1925, 900 was expended
in beautifying the interior and enlarg-
ing the Lower House. It is certainly
very pretty, but we failed to see where
all OF the 1925, 900 was put. The acous-
tic properties were made defective by
the improvements. Formerly it was an
excellent chamber for speaking pur-
poses. Wires were put across the hall
on Thursday which improved the acous-
tics of House.
The only improvements on the Senate
side is the new toilet department and
bath rooms, which are good enough for
a king. We were informed by men,
ber of the Senate that this improvement
cost less than 5000, Notwithstanding
the fact that some Of our Democratic ex-
changes say it cost $4,000. The people
Of this Commonwealth have no reason
to be ashamed of the buildings OF the
state that adorn Capitol Hill in Harris
