Minor News Notes,

The Carbondale Leader of last even
ing says: Again Carbondale cyclists
are called upon to assist the energetic
wheelmen of Jermyn in their laudable
enterprise, the building of side paths
similar to the one just completed be-
tween that town and Archibald. One
who has not enjoyed a ride through the
pretty river bottom, in which the path
is constructed. cannot appreciate it's
beauties, while those who have, pro-
nounce it a veritable wheelmans para
disc. At convenient intervals rustic
benches have been placed in shaded
portions and the requisite spring OF
clear, cool water is always near by.
There are railings of white birch along
the raised portions of the path to guide
the after dark wheelman, as well as
whitewashed Cobble stones along each
edge of the path all the way which
answer the same purpose.
suitable drains have been construct
ed to carry away the surface water,
which would otherwise impair the path,
and the route is one selected so that
the most shade and least grade is OBJ
tained for riders of the silent steed
THE wheelmen to whom the cyclists
of the valley are indebted for this
charming roadway are partly the
Twentieth Century Bicycle club, of
Jermyn, and there benefit will consist
of a social and dance which will be
given on Friday evening in Enterprise
hall. Miss Kathryn Reardon, Of Scran-
ton, will furnish the music for dane

George Mclaughlin, of the Powder
mill, recently lost a Masonic charm
which he has regained i'm a singular
manner. Although he advertised his
loss, he heard nothing concerning it
until a few days ago, when his son,
| Tiny, who was wheeling to Lake Chap
man, came upon a fellow wheelman
who was standing alongside the road,
reDairng some slight disarrangement
of his wheel. Tiny stopped to converse
with the stranger few moments and
was asked by the man if he knew Of
anyone who had lost a charm. Tiny,
| of course, said that his father had, and,
/ giving a description of the charm, the
! man who found it Hlw that it was the
| one lost by Mr.. Mclaughlin. The lat
/ ter recovered it the following day from
| Mr. BOylan, of Archibald, who found II.
/ Strange to say it was picked up within
/ less than a hundred yards from Mr..
McLaughlin's home. The charm is a
valuable one, and the owner was much
| pleased on regaining it.
