EAGLES MERE.

Mr.. Chas. w. Sones the prosper
Gus lumberman is always progress
i've. He is now installing a private
electric light plant to light his mills
and boarding houses. Mr.. Prior of
the Williamsport firm of Prior & Sal
lada came up on Monday morning
with his assistants to set up the dyn-
amo, complete the wiring and put
the whole plant in operation. Bet
ter get Mr.. ssSones interested in Ea-
giles Mere only that our Councilmen
would be kept busy putting on the
brakes to hold him down as that
seems to be an important part of
councilmanic duty.
1t is remarked that the Junior
Storekeeper finds Git necessary to
make periodical...visits to William
sport. 1t is the standing conun-
drum now to guess why. "How old
is Ann" has no chance with it.
Our Electrician, Walter Trappe,
has moved to Hughesville for the
winter. He was crowded almost
night and day with work and was
"ompelledsto..leave considerable un-
lone. He may yet have to come
back for few days to finish up be-
fore winter andshe will need to re-
turn. early in the spring in order to
get ready for summer visitors. Mrs.
Trappe's healthiis reported as being
much improved.
Capt. Chase and Richard Bennett
have nearly completed the task of
overhauling the Flume Pipe for the
Light Co. and have coated it with
material to prevent rusting. All
the earth and rock covering has been
removed as it has been found that no
trouble is caused by freezing and the
pipe is kept in. better condition when
not covered. Where it passes under
the public road substantial, flag
covered.culvert has been constructed
so as to permit access to the pipe at
all times.
The noise of pick, shovel, hammer
and saw is still heard atIand around
Eagles Mere Park as the former
"Chautauqua" is now called. Con-
siderable improvement will be not
iced by the summer people next sea
son.
The Lily Pond has been emptied
again so as to freeze out the remain
der of the Pond Lilies this winter.
VIM. Y. Warner made one of his
periodic visits to CrestmOnt and
looks none the worse for his accident
at Germantown when he was thrown
from his wagon and suffered pretty
severe confusion.
The Loyalsock & Eagles Mere r.
r. is full of business and it is said
will be operated all winter with the
result that the present passenger SER
vice is pretty sure to be continued.
The Post Office Club was called to-
gether in response to the Presidents
Thanksgiving Proclamation and the
Secretary urged that steps be taken
for special service to give thanks
for the return to service of the old
passenger car on the railroad. Our
people can now take dogs, or any
thing else with them that they may
desire when taking trip by rail.
Nothing need be left behind or ship
ped by freight. 1t was resolved that
an effort be made to secure special
service in the church and school
house. The teacher was requested
to deliver an address to the children
and march them in procession to see
the car so that they might under
stand the great and wonderful privi-
leges that are secured to us. The
ministers were requested ito preach
special thanksgiving sermons and
offer thanks to Providence for such
an inestimable blessing and to pray
that we might never be deprived of
it.
