the charge of obtaining a copper

The Greencastle Echo Pilot
says that Miss Ella Creigh of
Mercersburg, daughter of the
late Rev. Thomas Creigh, who
was for many years pastor of the
Mercersburg Pres by terra n
church, has been named by the
Republicans of that place as a
candidate for school director.
THAT'S all right. The Republi-
ans Of McConnellsburg nomi-
lated Miss L. V. Hess for the of
ice of school director and she
was elected by a vote that made
the mems heads swim with envy.
When the board organized in
June, she was made president,
md served her full term of three
years. During her administra.
tion fine graded course of study
vas adopted, a high school was
established, and many other
measures of progress that shows
5hat an intelligent woman is much
more capable of filing that office
than some men we know who
nave had the honor.

COUNCIL CANNOT BORROW
MONEY ON TOWN CREDIT
REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AT
SESSION OF COUNCIL LAST EVENING.
Banks Will Not Loan 10000 Unless Council.
men Make Themselves Individually Re.
sPOnsible for the Full Amount.

A special meeting of the Smyrna
Town Council was called last evening,
to hear the report of the Finance Com
mlttee on how, where and on what
terms the town could borrow six
thousand dollars CS6, 900. OO) for max
ing improvements to the Light and
Water Plant as recommended by Con-
sulting Engineers T. Chalkley Hatton
and William g. Spruance. This act
was IN pursuance to a resolution offer
ed by Councilman Moore at a special
meeting last Wednesday, authorizing
the Finance Committee to ascertain
such facts as above stated and report
their findings to full meeting Of the
Council.
All the members were present last
evening when Chairman H. B. Grieves
OF the Finance Committee made his
report The latter stated that the
Committee had awaited on the Fruit
Growers National Bank and the
National Bank of Smyrna and while
they both would be willing to loan
So, 900 at per cent they would not be
willing to do it on the credit of the
town. They would loan the money
for a reasonable time provided that
proper security was given. This
would of course mean that the Coun-
cilmen would have to hold themselves
individually responsible and give their
joint note duly signed by the seven
Councilmen as individuals. The
banks haye taken this precaution be-
cause the Town Charter distinctly says
that money raised by taxation cannot
exceed $4,000 in any one year, which
is $4,000 less than what is needed to
make the improvement. As the term
of Office of each Councilman expires
at the same time, one year from the
time of election, the uncertainty of
future elections might confuse matters
materially, and no Councilman is
willing to give his individual guaran-
tee under the above conditions.
Just when the necessary improve
ments will be made to the Light &
Water Plant, is now matter of re-
mote contingency. The CounciImen
refuse to give their personal guarantee
and money cannot be borrowed on the
credit of the town. This is the state
of matters at present. At the meet
ing Friday evening the Council may
order the Feed Water Heating Appara-
tus placed in, but the rest of the
improvements may be postponed
indefinitely, or until the Legislature
meets.

HAIL STORM OVER IN NEW CASTLE.
Wind and Hail Sweeps Down in St. Georges
Hundred and Destroys Property.

A terrific windstorm, accompanied
by hail, passed over Middletown Sat-

from Mt. Pleasant to the Delaware
Bay, and lasted eighteen minutes.
Few shocks of wheat are left standing:
they were blown all over the fields,
and are wet through; and if there is
not clear weather soon, the wheat will
sprout in the sheaf. The windmill
and several Outbuildings on Andrew
Eliason's farm were blown down.
James L. Shallcross' loss amounts to.
So, 200 or So, 500. His wagon shed was
blown down, 1000 barrels of apples
were blown from the trees, and 100
apple, pear and plum trees were up
rooted. The wind and hail cut corn
considerably.
