Eugene L. Brown, of Beaver. Pa.
representing the American Electric
Telephone Co. Of Chicago, ILL.,, and Dis
trict Attorney N. L. Strong, Of Brook
vile, a director of the Summervile
Telephone Co., were in Reynoldsvile
last Friday for the purpose OF getting
our people interested in a new tele-
phone service in Reynoldsvile. The
intention is to extend the Summerville
Telephone Co. lines to this place and
use the American Electric Telephone
Co. g long distance telephones. A meet
ing was held in the sample rooms OF
Hotel Mcconnell Friday evening which
was we'll attended by the business men
of this place. A committee of five,
Solomon Shaffer, +. j. Black. G. Mitch
ell, G. w. Sykes and J. G. Conser, was
appointed to canvass the town to see
how many will have telephones put into
their places of business and private res
licences and take stock In the Summer
vile Telephone Co. The stock Is
placed at ten dollars a share. The rates
for telephones will be $500 per month
for business places and S1.50 per month
for residences, and each phone will be
on a private line.
Up until last evening the committee
had received subscribers for seventeen
telephones and sold quite a number Of
shares of stock.
1t will only be a matter of a short
time until the Summerville Telephone
lines will be extended all over Jefferson
county and every hamlet Of any import
ance will have phone in it. This
company has already received orders
for fifty telephones to be put in at
Brookville. Reynoldsville and PUNK
sutawney will order phones ere long.

THROW OUT GOOD BAIT.
Don't Fold Your Hands and Wait for
Industries to be Thrust Upon You.

Are the people Of Reynoldsville, the
town with so many natural advantages
and acquired facilities for manufactures
of various kinds, going to let their day
of opportunities pass by without getting
Industries OF some kind to locate here,
is the vital question that stares us In
the face at present. The future of the
town depends largely on how this mat
ter is settled. IL will require small
outlay of capital on the part Of the
citizens. but no one should be unwilling
to make small sacrifice now that will
doubly repay them in the future In the
increase in the valuation Of property.
Capital is anoat, bait line and throw
II out 10 the tide now and there is little
doubt but what the result will we'll re-
pay the effort made. In the hurly-
burly struggle for earthly position or
gain the man who would be successful
must put forth an effort or be crowded
to the wall and another will step into
the place he had hoped to occupy or
get the plum he was after. The same
is true of town or city. A determin-
alton to win will result in building up
our town and community. Where do
you stand in this matter? Are you
willing that other men may push the
matter while you stand back with folded
hands hoping in the 'sweet bye and bye
to reap harvest from their labors and
their money expended? Every man
should put his shoulder to the wheel
and help little.

Monday OF this week was the day set
apart by Judge Reed for naturalization
purposes and about two hundred foreign

The crowd was so large that Judge
Reed did not get through examining the
qualifications of the would-be-citizens
until three o'clock yesterday afternoon.
About one hundred and ten were grant
ed their citizenship papers and fifty or
sixty were refused. Judge Reed does
not consider citizenship in this great
country a small thing and only those
who are really qualified for such an
honor were made citizens. The applica-
tions of number of Italians, who can
neither read nor write English, were
not heard by Judge Reed. He says
such people can not make good citizens.
