time friends. Twenty years ago James
was zone Of the boys" Of this town. He

and had only been in the town once
after that, day or two, until last week.
James spent thirteen years at Carthage,

after short visit in Virginia, he de-

People Are Kicking.

There has been considerable growing
recently about the condition of the town
water. Quite number OF people have
quit drinking it and have been carrying
drinking water from wells. Up until
this summer the people of Reynoldsville
have boasted Of the excellent water the
town is supplied with, but this summer
the condition of the water has been
anything but good, and as a result our
people have been growing about the
water, in place of praising it. The dry
weather had something to do with the
condition OF the water, but there are
other things that cannot help but affect
the water, which we will not discuss at
this time. Unless there is something
done about the water, the end OF the
trouble is not yet.

Klondike at Home.

When the wooden sidewalk in front
of the Nolan block, ON Main street, was
being torn up Monday morning. to be
replaced with permanent walk, a mum
ber OF small boys gathered on the scene
and began digging around in the dirt
and mould for money which might have
been dropped through the cracks be-
tween the plank. The lads, with one
exception, went to work with sticks and
occasionally one would rake out coin.
The boy who made the richest "strike"
got down on his knees and with his
hands "panned out" the dirt. In about
five minutes time he had found dime,
nickel, quarter and cent, whereupon
all sticks were cast aside and each boy
went to work with only the. implements
supplied by nature-a pair Of willing
hands.

Poor Farm Needed.

Why not have poor farm in Jeirer-

ployment to men who impose on the
poor overseers. We would not have To
go FAR to find lazy, worthless paupcr

some one else will feed him. A poor
farm would likely remove this fellow of

ing is Il part Of the article:
''The County Home is an institution
that has only been in existence for "a
very few years. The need of an institu-
tlon Of the kind had long been felt. as
the old method Of letting each township
pay for its dependents was faulty aud
altogether unsatisfactory. Besides this
system was always liable to abuse, and
IL was in many instances over expensive.
as there was no system In the way of
administering the needed help to the
deserving poor brought TO that condi-
tion by old age, illness or the misfor.
tunes that ovcrtake so many. When
at last IL was determined to improve
this way of airording relief to the un-
fortunates the County Commissioners
decided to erect an institution that
combined everything that had been dis
covered In the way Of perfection up to
this time and Clearfeld county can
boast of the model eleemosynary insti-
tuition Of the great state of Pennsylva-
mia. "A visit to the Home will satisfy
any observer that the institution is con-
Quoted in most careful manner. There
is neither ostentation nor show about IL.
IL is simply what its name implies-a
home for the unfortunates, kept in
homelike manner, clean, tidy and com
