for his lack of years. The appoint

fair, now one week old and in full
swing. In the afternoon the armory
was invaded by a host of children,
pupils of the public schools.
In the evening the members Of the
Nay Aug Chemical company made
their appearance and King Mirth
reigned for hours. Previous to going to
the armory the Nay Augs paraded and
the Crystals, Phoenix and Hook and
Ladder companies turned out to add
to the spirit of the thing. Lawrence's
band headed the column.
During the evening Schubert quar-
tette sang several selections. Tonight
is the William Connell Hose COM
pany's night, and a great time is eX-

The energetic and public spirited cit
liens of South Scranton are nothing
If they are not determined. Notwith-
standing the many delays and the va
rious obstacles that have confronted
the commencement of work on the
seventeenth main sewer district the
leading men say that the sewer will
be built this year, and as a mark of
their sincerity and determination in
the matter permanent organization
was formed at Storrs' hall Saturday
night ana nearly $500 was raised by
popular subscription to push the agita-
tion to a successful conclusion
The property holders along the line
of the much delayed and greatly need
ed sewer were notified by postal FRI
day that a meeting of citizens was
called for Saturday night to devise
ways ana means to have the sewer un-
der way by the Fourth of July EX-
County Auditor S. S. Spruks signed the
call for the meeting. Shortly after
O'Clock the hall was crowded and Mr..
Sprults opened the session.
MADE SOME COMMENTS.
He made lively address and said
several pointed things with reference
to the actions of some persons who
have figured prominently in the much
discussed sewer.
At the close Of his address. Mr..
Spruks asked for the nominations for
a chairman for the meeting. On motion
of John j. Gordon, the hustling con-
tractor was unanimously chosen chair
man. Jacob Geiger. ir., the cigar
manufacturer was elected secretary.
Later in the meeting. when the perma-
nent body was formed. Messrs. Spruks
and GCigcr We're reelected to their re-
spective offices, ana Select Councilman
John j. Schneider. of the Eleventh
ward, was honored with the post of
treasurer
The organization did not take on a
title, deeming it sufficient for all con-
cerned to know that they We're banded
together to build the sewer. Mr..
Spruks Informed the gathering that w.
F. Burley, of Dunmore will build the
sewer for $4,000. which figure meets
the estimate Of the city engineer. and
is $4,000 higher than the bid Dunn
Bros. placed when the contract was
given to them. The extra 5000 will he
raised. and Messrs. Dunn will be asked
to sub-let their contract to Mr.. Burlcy.
In "A recent letter to City Engineer
Phillips the Dunns said they were will
ing to turn the contract over to re-
sponsible party.
MAYOR GIVES ENCOURAGEMENT
Mayor Moir, who was present made
an encouraging address. He said it
was "A burning shame to the city that
South Scranton was without a main
sewer. The mayor urged the advo-
Gates Of the Improvement to raise the
$4,000 over Dunn Bros bid that Mr..
Barley asks. To re-advertise for new
bids would mean much more cost to
the property owners and a long delay
the mayor said. To substantiate his
assertion, the mayor said the prices of
terra Gotta pipes had advanced twenty
five per cent. since Dunn Bros. made
their contract with the manufacturers.
Hon. John j. SCheuer, Attorney G. c..
DonOvan,A August Remer, Fred. Mursch
eX-Alderman Peter Robling. August
Schneider followed Mayor Moir and en-
dorsed his suggestions. Then the men
were asked for their subscriptions and
Si93 was raised. Another meeting will
be held tonight at the same place and
hour.

a Town Clock.

For town of lis size Tazewell is wonder
fully progressive. 1t enjoys advantages
that few towns of its size possess and none
surpass. We have an excellent water sys.
tenn, and have recently been supplied
with splendid electric plant. There is
one thing that is needed, town clock,
which will not only strike the hours but
that will also serve the purpose of fire
alarm. We are glad to be informed that q
movement is now on foot to supply that
need. 1t has been startled by certain
young ladies and gentlemen, who propose
to organize a histrionic club, which will
give entertainments, dramatic and musical,
during the winter, and in that way assist
in accumulating fund 10 pay for town
clock.
This movement is commendable from
three standpoint.. 1t will assist in max
ing an improvement 10 the town that will
be highly useful. Then 1t will be a source
OF innocent and healthy fmusement to the
citizens of the town, as amateur enter
tainments in our community are always
heartily enjoyed. The young ladies and
gentlemen who take part il the work will
be greatly benefited mentally and social
" and should lie ei couraged to push the
movemen. to SUCCESS.

New Mercantile Concern.

Mr.. r. Cecil Chapman, who for more
than a year has been engaged i'll business
in New York, has returned to Tazewell,
and has purchased the Dry Goods depart
ment of Harrison & Gillespie Bros. An
invoice is now being taken of the stock
and Mr.. Chapman will take immedia e
charge of the business. He is an accom-
plished merchant, and will, no doubt, as
the successor of Harrison & Gillespie
Bros do fine business, being we'll known
to the people of Tazewell by his long
residence at this place. He will continue
to occupy the storeroom heretofore occu-
pied by his predecessors, and Mr.. c. w.
Jones, most experienced clerk, will re-
main with him.
HARRISON & Gillespie Bros. will con-
tlnue to run The Clothing and Gents
Furnishing business in the east store
room which they now use for that
business. This department will be man
aged by Mr.. w. G. HARRISON, who is a
thoroughly experienced man in that line.
He will be assisted by Mr.. R. JEFF Ward,
as clerk, he being clerk of fine exper-
ience.
These changes will give new impulse
to both departments, and the enterprise
on both sides OF the house, no doubt, will
meet with marked success.
