That from youth to ripened manhood
his years and energies have been de

That to his skill, uniform kindness,
courteous tact and unswerving fidelity
is due in large measure the prosperity
which has attended this institution dur
ing the thirty-one years of his service.
That we hold his honor and manhood
in high regard. Truly noble qualities
of mind and heart pervaded all his ac-
tions in all relations of life. As a citi.
zen he was faithful to every trust, as a
neighbor he was charitable in its larg-
est sense; as a friend he was gentle and
true. His life was blameless. 1t can
be truly said in his memory that he
added to the happiness of all who knew
him. All who knew him mourn him.
That we extend sympathy to his
family in its great affliction, hoping and
trusting that the widow and children
may find some consolation in the thought
that all must be well with him who has
wrought and finished so fully rounded
| life.
That these resolutions be Transcribed

SOME BEAUTIFUL
WINDOWS
Evidences That our Merchants are not Be-

That our merchants are not slow nor
behind the times in the art Of window
decoration is quite evident. With each
succeeding day the windows along Mill
street assume some new attraction ap-
propriate to the holidays The merch-
ants, who this year bid fair to outdo
/ all previous efforts, have evidently learn
ed the value of window advertising and
are determined to make the most of it.
The window Of the Murray store new
. er presented a finer appearance. Corin-
THAN columns beautifully trimmed and
/ set in the midst of a bewildering array
! of holiday attractions help to make
up a scene that can not fail to catch
/ the eve. The window was decorated

/ Cleaver's window as usual comes in

see. The windows of the Globe Ware
house, the Boston store, Seidel & Bausch,
and W VI. Seidel have all assumed ad-
/ ded attrac ctionS that reflect the near ap-
proach of Christmas.
Henry Rempe, the jeweler as usual
has something novel in the way of win
dow attractions and as he has two large
windows for display the field afforded
for the exercise Of his ingenuity is quite
comprehensive. The principal attrac-
ton this year is device in the shape OF
a large bell, which hangs in the south
window. In the bell number of cleo
trio lights are arranged whose rays fall
lug on the watches, jewelry and other
articles that scintllate below are re-

Nearly q Gentnrp Of Life.

Mrs Miriam Mettler, one of the old

tier was born in the vicinity of Snyder
town. Northumberland county, ninety.
one years ago.
During her long life, which spanned
nearly century of time, she beheld
the primitive forests over wide sections
fall acre by acre Instead of the will
derness cultivated fields with farm
buildings. highways and villages met
her eye and the face of the whole coun-
try became changed Those born into
the world around her even during her
early womanhood lived their allotted
lime and ripe in years passed away
while she still lived on. Although not
survived by any sons or daughters, her
grandchildren are quite numerous. 1t
was no unusual thing for her to find
herself the center of group Of her own
descendants embracing no less than five
generations.
Time indeed dealt kindly with the
aged woman and notwithstanding her
advanced age, up to within year or so
ago she seemed quite active and in
possession of all her faculties. W hen i'll
her ninetieth year it was no unusual
thing for her to walk from her home on
upper Bloom street, to Riverside and
unattended to visit about among her
relatives.
A year or 50 ago she began to decline.
Along with her physical powers her
memory began to fail so that it was al
most impossible for her to conduct a
conversation. On Sunday evening last
/ she sustained a stroke of paralysis,
which was the cause of death.

BOARD OF HEALTH
SHOULD: ACT
What Milton Has Done to Ward off Small
Pox,

The situation as to small p}x with
each succeeding day assumest greater
seriousness, in view of which the towns
of this section with scarcely an except
ion contemplate the adoption ofmeasur-
es, thorough-going and unspsring in
their nature, to ward off if possible the
dreadful scourge. In addition to the
case of small pox which made, its ap-
pearance in Sunbury, Monday, three
new cases have developed in Hazleton.
That the next case reported may be
nearer home is quite within the range
of probability.
The town of Milton has grappled with
the small pov problem in way that
promises very practical results. At
meeting of the board of health, there, a
resolution was passed requesting all
persons who had not been successfully
vaccinated within the past six years to
have it done without delay. The board
of health is vested with nearly unlimit-
ed powers in matters that pertain to the
public health and an order requiring
vaccination, once made is likely to go
into effect with little or no opposition.
At this day no one doubts the efficacy
of vaccination, while ohe desirability of
being immune from such a loathesome
disease impels a person to almost
any sacrifice. At such times as the
present almost every individual con-
templates vaccination. Like many
other unpleasant duties, however, it is
frequently postponed until too late. 1t
is at such juncture that a resolution
by the Board of Health, such as passed
at Milton, becomes of incalculable value
in arousing the people to a sense Of
their duty.
If Danville is to profit by its expert
ence in the past it should be the last
town in the state to omit any precau-
tion that might prove instrumental in
heading off small pox. Right here there
is work for our Board of Health. Will
it initiate the action of Milton or has it
some other measure in contemplation
equally effective? By all means let
something be done.
