Silk Mil Notes.

j. w, Place and his friend and part
ner in his banking and industrial busi-
ness in New York. j. ID. Lewis, arrived
in this place last Friday noon, coming
from Chicago and on their way to New
York They paid short visit to the
silk mill, leaving Saturday night. east
ward bound. much pleased at the sight
Of activity, husting and fine order they
found reigning at the elegant building
which crowns the hill on the other side
Of the creek.
A new loom tixer will soon arrive at
the mill to fill the place left open there
by tho late Thos. Mulvina.
Messrs. William Pujh, Harry Dawson,
Harry Drake, Arthur Runkel and
George w. Shearcr. experienced wcav-
crs, arrived at the silk mill this last
week, coming mostly from Bloomsbury
and Carlisle, Pa
Peter Durand. the genial foreman at
the MILL can bo seen every day. from
morning till night, flying around the
looms OF every section with velocity
which would be incredible TO anybody
but an eye witness, being given the
rotundity and size Of his figure. One
can surmisc that the generous French
wine he has been sucking in his early
days in his sunny country has left in
him muscle and sinew which no grip or
malaria can subduc. He has shown
himself in good light since in Rcyn-
oldsville, and the sparkling, black,
small eyes, shining in his brawny face,
seem to promise hc will do more yet.
f.. Grcenbaum. the head of the book
Keeping department. has been suffering
from earachc for several days, probably
the result of too much freezing breeze
blowing in his ears while crossing the
plank road. leading to the mill, in the
early morning.
Miss May Munshcimer, the towering
forcladv of the warping department,
has had pupils added to her small legion
OF silk Wrappers and will educate more,
the management contemplating adding
few more warping frames to the ac-
tual strenth cf this department.
Miss Frances Ruth, II Reynoldsville
girl, has been placed at the head of the
quilting department, her ability in
weaving and serious and business-like
manners having encouraged the man
agement to intrust her with this deli
cate function Of caring and distributing
the quilts for the shuttlcs OF 200 looms,
weaving various kinds of black and a
whole rainbow of spring and summer
shades.
Miss Ollie Dobson is filling the Office
Of head of the winding department with
all the dignity and seriousness Of an old
practitioner and to the entire satisfac-
tion Of the authority at the mill.
The production at the mill has so in
creased that daily shipments are now
being made. Nearly $50 pieces of goods
were shipped last week, and when the
epidemic OF grip, which is now raging
over our town, has subsidized the produc-
tion is expected to receive a new en-
hancement.

How many great evils in the land to-
day that Young America has to contend
with. One is cigarette smoking. Look
to-day ut the vast number OF boys and
young men wrccking their young lives
by destroying their nerves, muscle and
brain. II has been well said that each
cigarette smoked is nail driven in
ones coffin. We hear cases every day
Of young men dying or becoming insane
from the use OF tobacco in this vile
form. II these same young men who so
daintily ~ puff at their cigarettes
should go to the places where they are
made, they would forever renounce the
use Of such vile stuff, and would become
the better men for 1t. The smoke Of a
cigarette. II cxhaled into Il white hand
kcrchief, will turn IL Il brown color, and
1t seems that many young men inhalo
this into their lungs. Oh, how cruel!
Think, boys, your lungs, which should
be pure. wholesome and capable of
taking in full, deep draughts OF air to
invigorate your sy stem, are black, dirty,
unfit to perform II q functions required.
What will be the end? Premature
death; death which comes like the early
frost, blighting the tender young
flowers. 90

and had lost their stiffness. Then the
game took decided turn.
The third inning was played altogether

their umpire who had armed himself pre-
paratory to umpiring. and despite the ex-
traordnary efforts of its battery, the Sec
end Battalion ran in eleven runs.
