Theo. Newton, wife and child, spent
Monday in Buffalo.
On Friday the tire ran off the "hog''
at the new mill and shut the mill down
for the afternoon.
Everybody are welcome at the
"shoot" held every Wednesday eve
ming, near the Iron Works.
Miss Lily Gard, of Moore Hill, is
staying with E. L. Mason's family un
til the fall term of school opens.
The proudest man in town is Mr..
Dalrymple, better known as "Dell."
Cause: He is wearing the sharp-shoot-
ing badge of the Emporium Gun Club,
this week.
Mr.. Connie Newton, of the Pennsy,
has two weeks vacation, which he
is spending in Meadville, Pittsburgh
and Beaver Falls. Just before leaving
he had the misfortune to lose his pock-
et-book, containing forty-one dollars.
A son of VIM. Swartz, camp cook,
fell from the dock at the new mill
Monday, sustaining a severe shaking
up and spraining one wrist. 1t is
drop of more than IL feet where he fell
and it is surprising that he was not
more seriously injured.
Silas Gardner has sold over $500
worth of ginseng, which is doing we'll
for so early in the season. Persons
who have never seen this plant in
growing season may avail themselves
of the opportunity by calling at the
residence of Daniel Downey, cor. Vine
and Fifth streets.
Mr.. Henry Auchu, spent Sunday in
Buffalo, looking up the manufactures
and lots between there and Niagara
Falls, with a view to investing in lots
at the latter place. 1t is very interest
| ing to hear Mr.. Auchu tell of the power
plants and dynamos, factories and ma
chinery. 1t is we'll worth ones time to
hear him explain what he saw on this
trip.
The order forbidding riding on the
side walks makes it very inconvenient
to the employees at the new mill, as
some of them live at least a mile-and-a-
half from the mill, and in case of mud
dy roads such employees must get up
at 4:30 a. m. in order to be at the mill
in time to begin work at six o'clock.
The west end of Sixth street is simply
impossible for a wheel most of the time
and some of the time not fit for lumber
wagons. 1t overflows with water in
wet seasons, consequently is left full of
rubbish. Then, that little hill at the
corporation limits, is mass of loose
stones, making it hard to ride down,
and almost impossible to ride up. If
people must ride in the streets these
two places, at least, ought to be re-
paired. If the Borough cannot do it,
tax each bicycle one dollar year and
use the money to cinder path along
Fourth street and up TO the top of the
hill. The township road is much bet
ter, as there is path on which to ride,
but the trouble is to get out of town.
Ahho NOiAoA a. OhA PAhA "OuAA oOOiA
build good path from the Junction to
the mill. Some towns license wheels
to ride on the walks, under certain
conditions, at fee for the privilege.
If one of the stipulated rules is broken
the license of the offender is null and
void for that year. This works well,
but we prefer the cinder path expressly
for wheels. In several counties in
New York State, wheel is taxed in
order to even ride the roads and the
money is used to build walks and paths
and has been in effect SO long that it is
pleasure to ride a wheel in those
counties. Let us hear from someone
else in regard to this matter, either to
license the wheels to use the walks, or
build paths.
