Situation at Nanticoke.

from the WllkeSburre Record.
A reporter spent the greater part OF
Friday at Nanticoke and Glen Lyon and
Notwithstanding the fact that half
hundred of the striking miners were
learned concerning the strike situation.
The miners do not appear to know
much concerning the negotiations that
took place between the officials of the
company and the committee of strikers.
Much depends on the outcome of the
next meeting. If it does not result
satisfactorily the strike will be prolonged
indefinitely and there will be little hope
of settling it this winter.
The 400 mules from the colieries are
grazing in the fields at Sheatown and
Glen Lyon, but it will soon become
necessary to place them in barns.
Miners still continue to leave Nanti-
coke and Glen Lyon for the soft coal
regions and the Northwest. Societies
in Pittsburg and Minnesota are assisting
many to reach these places, there being
demand at these points for aborers.
While at Nanticoke the reporter met
furniture broker who had just pur-
chased the furniture of nine families,
who were compelled to dispose of it to
secure money with which to pay their
car fare to the soft coal regions. The
furniture dealer stated that there is
much suffering among many of the
families, some of them being in need of
the necessaries of life.

Our Ever UntirinS Efforts
To Do Better.

To give our patrons the biggest pos
sible values for their money, is the key
of our great success. We are not salts
fled to stand still, but are forever forg-
ing ahead, forever trying to make the
values bigger and the prices smaller.
We are continually securing the mar
kets for the very best of dependable
merchandise, aud buying, as we do, in
immense quantities, we are enabled to
sell clothing as cheap as the average
merchant can buy.
This season we have been more active
than ever. Our grand array of Clothing
for Men, Boys and Children proves that
it is the greatest assortment that has
ever been shown to the purchasing pub
lie of this town. And we have been
farsighted enough to anticipate the ad-
vance all the clothing merchants are
complaining about and placed our
orders much earlier than usual. We
can, therefore, sell clothing at the old
prices, or make you suit or overcoat
cheaper than any other tailor in the
region.
