WHY NOT PAVE
No One Will Ga,nsay the Fact that we
Need Paved Streets.

The question OF paving the streets OF
Reynoldsville has been agitated by both
the town papers and talked OF and dis
cussed by many Of our citizens for sew
eral years, but our streets are yet un-
paved and, with the exception. perhaps,
Of Fourth street, will remain in the
same condition for some time TO come.
Each year this becomes more import
ant matter for our town to consider.
The old wooden pavement on Main
street Is now in such condition that IL
should be removed and It will not last
much longer. Have you ever watched
the water splash up foot high when
teams drive up Main street on wet
day ? There is no other town in this
section Of the country that has pret-
tier Main street than we would
have II the street was paved with brick.
We are talking of getting new indus
tries to locate in Reynoldsville, which
is the proper thing to do, but we had
better get our Main street, IL at least,
in such condition that II capitalists visit
our town they will be favorably i'm
pressed with the appearance of the
place. The appearance Of town has
much to do with getting outside capital
lists interested. At meeting of the
Merchants Association last Thursday
evening the merchants talked of the
| advantages our town had to offer for
the location OF large industries, and one
merchant said we can tell OF the many
inducements our town has to offer, but
| don't say anything about the condition
OF our streets. Where is there another
town the size OF Reynoldsville or small
er that does not have two or three
streets, II not all streets, paved ? Every
citizen in town should take pride enough
In the town to want to see paved streets.
We believe that Main and Jackson
streets should both be paved and that
the town should be bonded for the
amount sufficient to pave both streets.
While talking about paved streets,
we want also to state that West Reyn-
oldsville borough should pave Pike
street from iron bridge to p. r. r.. at
least. There is enough money expended
on that piece of street each year to
cover the expense OF paving it in a few
years, and then the street would always
be in good condition. Every spring and
fall 1t is in bad condition, notwithstand-
ing the money expended on it.

A Cruel Custom.

How frequently do we see horses
reined with gag reins in such manner
that the poor animals are compelled to
gaze continually at the glaring sun,
with no protection for the eyes what
ever. If the owners OF these poor dumb
brutes had their heads pulled back and
fastened with a strap so that they were
compelled to gaze at the sky with their
eyes unprotected, we guarantee they
would throw the check rein to the
winds in less than no time. .--Brookville

Ante las repetidas quejas del publ

niendo que la matanza Sc hiciese por su-

Els decir; oi1ocO dias cG7ne 0ieJG y
dos novillo. Esto no Sc concibe, pues
tan vieja es la carne de buey como la de

pues solo hay dos puestos abiertOs, y que
pesar de SCI escasa, es mala, puesto
que ell mismO Ayuntamiento autoriza q
los abastecedores para que en- csaecO dias
de la semana maten bueyes y vacas.
Lo racional hubiera sido establecer
que de los siete dias de la semana, en-
cuatro Sc matasen novillos.y en- tres bue-
yes y vacas, puesto que estas vienen &

A New Literature.


A new literature Ii In process Of develop
ment. You often hear an intelligent man or
woman say: II always look In the back OF
the magazines first" If you carefully seek
the reason for this you will discover that In
the pages ana pages of advertising in the
back of the magazines Is to be found, not
only much that Is Instructive. but much
that is interesting and suggestive In a pure
iy literary way. The modern advertisement
is worth looking at. whether 1t is the sound
Ing proclamation Of some big corporation,
with facts and figures both weighty and
impressive. or the light eye-catching notice
Of some simple trade or continuance All
forms OF literary composition find place In
the advertising pages: History, story,
verse. Many advertisements measure I'D to
the test OF good literature. In truth, there
Is often an uncommon amount of character
in them. A word here or q phrase there Is
often singularly vivid as local color" and
behind many an advertisement It Is possible
to see vigorous personality. Nor are there
lacking In this new literature qualities of
humor. both Intentional and unintentionaI.
from the conscious aphorism and episram
to unconscious fun. as In the announcement
which recently happened to come under the
eye Of the writer, that certain article
would be supplied to the purchaser painted
