THANKSGIVING Services.

The Union Thanksgiving services
held in the Presbyterian church last
Thursday forenoon had about the usual
sized congregation, but it was entirely
too small for the large number OF church
going people there are in Reynoldsville.
For some reason the people do not take
interest in Thanksgiving services. True
the hour does not suit many of the
ladies who are expected to get up big
dinner for Thanksgiving, but what ex-
cuse have the male members of the
churches to offer for non-attendance?
In some places Thanksgiving services
are held in the evening, and, no doubt,
a larger congregation would attend in
this place If the services were held in
the evening instead Of morning. 1t
would be good idea to try IL next year.

Trolley Line.

Elmer Il. Beck, Of Punxsutawney, who
was the Democratic candidate for Reg
ister and Recorder at recent election,
was in Reynoldsville this week solicit
ing advertisements to be placed In the
electric cars that will run between
Reynoldsville and Punxsutawney. he
met with good success.
The trolley line has been laid from
corner of Jackson and Bradford streets
out almost to J. J. Suffers residence,
and would have been laid down Jackson
street some distance had 1t not been for
the fact that the Oil City Fuel Supply
Co. served notice on the trolley line
company Saturday that they were laying
track over the gas line and Mr.. Kipr
sent the crew OF men from this end oil
line to Wishaw on Monday to work un.
Til the matter was adjusted with the
gas company people, which was amlc
ably settled Monday forenoon.
There will be three through cars be-
tween Reynoldsville and Punxsutawney
A car will leave this place every hal
| hour.
On the Eleanora end of trolley line
the track was laid as far as the dan
near the Wishaw coal tipple on Monday

When the street car line begins the
work Of laying track on Main street,
which will hardly be before next
spring, then town council will be COM
PEELED to repave Main street, Mt least
that portion where street car line will
run over, as the plank paving Is almost
gone In some places now, and to cut
seven or eight feet out OF centre for
street car line simply means to destroy
the plank paving, and something more
substantial will have to be laid, and
the matter might as we'll be taken up
Immediately so that when spring opens
there will be no delay In getting things
ready for paving. This is a matter
that will force itself on the borough
not later than spring. Why not begin
now?
The st. Marys Gazette say "No pos
sible expenditure of public moneys
will yield one-tenth OF the benefit to a
town that will result from the laying of
a good macadam or similar pavement.
Every live town is asking itself II 1t
can afford the necessary outlay. There
can be no doubt in this respect. The
experience of hundreds of towns In the
land proves that the increase In taxes
from the enhanced value of property is
greater than the expense incurred"

A Bold Little Scheme.

Three small girls worked a money
getting-scheme on a number OF families
on Grant and Hill streets Sunday after
noon that must have been concocted by
older heads, as the meanness would
hardly be conceived by such youngsters.
The girls called at the different homes
and claimed that the lady of the house
owned them five cents for berries they
had delivered during the summer.
The girls put on a bold face and seemed
to be so earnest in making the demand
that they got the money, although the
parties from whom they got the money
had no recollection of owing the girls
for berries.

Are Parents Not Interested ?

Thanksgiving exercises, program Of
which was published in the town papers,
was held in Assembly hall last Wednes-
day afternoon by high school pupils,
but there wer1 no visitors pres
ent, to the disappointment Of the
teacher of the high school and the
pupils who took part on program. Prof.
Kern mentioned the matte to editor of
THE STAR in the presence of Gen.
Sweeney, and he said 1T is fact that
parents DO not take the interest in such
matters that they should. If I had a
man training colt for me would go

he was getting along with it, but par.

Railroad Wreck Near Iowa.

A p. II. r. freight train was wreck
ed at Iowa, nine miles west of Reyn-
oldsville, early Monday morning, caus-
ing delay OF several hours with some
of the passenger trains. The train due
here at 1852 p. m. was about four hours
late arriving here. Cause of wreck is
unknown, but it is supposed to have
been caused by brake dropping down
and catching in switch frog. There
was pusher on the train, which made
the wreck worse than it would other
wise have been. Six or seven cars
were wrecked.
