The Leader Store Co. Ltd. are
keeping up their record of increased
business as compared with 1900.
There are good reasons for this.
Never were their stocks better or
more varied. The man or woman
who could not make selections out
of the three floors full of goods,
certainly would be hard to please
The holiday goods are specially
we'll placed to attract customers
who want something good at mod
crate prices. They are showing a
decided novelty in putting up
handkerchiefs and gloves in hand
painted boxes. The boxes are
really works of art. Nothing
gaudy but a neat tastful covering
for the goods.

1t occasionally happens that the
Town Council by resolution directs
that a certain ordinance be enforced.
Every ordinance Of the town is
constantly in force, and its opera
ton cannot be suspended by a reso-
luton of the council. TIE only way
to suspend an ordinance is to repeal
it. If the council refuse or neglect
to enforce an ordinance, they can
be compelled to do so by manda-
mus. A resolution directing that
any particular ordinance shall te
enforced, would imply that all ordi-
nances OF the town are dead letters
unless they are resurrected by spec
ial order. Let it be understood that
every ordinance of the town will be
enforced so long as it stands upon
the pages of our local laws.

The teachers Of the Danville
schools were severely rebuked by
the school board Of that boro on
Monday night. The teachers ap-
piled to the board for two weeks
vacation on the ground that twenty
two out OF the twenty-eight teach
ers desired to accompany the Nor
NAL School excursion to Washing
ton next week, and their request
was granted. Now it appears that
only six of them are going to Wash
ington, and the school board feels
that it has been trifled with. 1t
will not be safe for the Danville
teachers to ask any favors of the
board very soon.

In a case on trial in court Tues
day and Wednesday the counsel
for the plaintiff were Agib Ricketts,
of Wilkes-Barre and Col. J. G..
Freeze, and for the defendant Hon.
S. P. Wolverton, Of Sunbury. In
years past Messrs. Ricketts, and
Wolverton were in attendance at
nearly every session Of the Colum-
bia county court, but this is their
first appearance here for some time.
The suit was an ejectment in which
the title to the Nathaniel Brown
tract of land, partly in this county
and partly in Northumberland, is
involved.
