Lot A Minute.

From The Uniontown Genius OF Liberty.
The opening OF Mountain View Park
Thursday was great success. All the lots
were sold and everything passed off
smoothly. The sale was attended by
thousands OF people from Uniontown and
the surrounding country. and those who
bought lots seem well pleased with their
investment Many went out to the park
who had no intention OF buying, but they
were there simply to see what was going
on. The free trolley cars we're a great
inducement to many and all afternoon the
three cars we're loaded 10 their fullest
capacity. hauling thousands Of people out
and back. Many people went out just for
the ride.
The sale began at 80 O'Clock and by
that time there was an immense crowd at
the park There were ninety-four lots sold
In the record breaking time OF eigty minutes
or more than lot every minute The lots
simply went like hot cakes and no time
was wasted In unnecessary delays A. G..
Cummings, the auctioneer. Is certainly a
dandy in his line OF business. The lots
were sold to the highest bidders, on a cash
payment and monthly payments thereafter
until entirely paid for. The prices the lots
brought ranged from go to s275.
The manner In which the sale was con-
Quoted and the push and hustle displayed
m disposing OF the lots was surprise to
many. as IL was thought hardly possible
that the lots could be sold In an entire
afternoon. much less to clean them all up
In less than an hour and half Prices
Consolidated band furnished a choice pro-
gram OF music preceding the sale and all
during the afternoon. The sale was con.
Quoted by Messrs. Brown & Bannister,
who recently held sale OF lots In Smith.

When a youth I was told by my we'll

That the wants of the workerrDame For

Ones must strive to succeed If he'd win
him a. name
Or gain the top round on the ladder OF
fame.
L was told ito be honest, straight forward
and true
And put all my hearttin the deed that I'd
do
Oftentimes this remark from a. friendly
lip fell:
"A,thing worth .the doing is.worth Sdoing

My innocent youth is dream that las
flown;
am blessed with gray hairs and boy OF
my own,
And I often advise him. determined I'll
try
To start him in life better drilled than
was I.
Be always a ''worker''-of others. I,mean,
And neer be dishonest-that is, and be

And, I say,pif you trick men in big tricks

For the man who's worth doing is

Tell the Good.

Tell the Good.
HadJI the gift of tongues, a Shakespeare's
pen,
A seraph's voice to make heav'n ring
again,
I could not tell the good I've found in
men;
Their Kind deeds have been numberless,
yet still
I find myself sometimes recounting i'll!
Had the harp of Orpheus, a command
OF all the languages men understand,
The kind acts that l see on every hand
l could not even catalogue. yet still
Sometimes, forgetting this, 1 name the ill!
A thousand thoughts come t1ocking to my
mind
Out of the misty past that lies behind,
Recalling human kindness, yet so blind
Sometimes are human eyes I murmur
still,
Forgetting good, rememb' ring. only i'll!
The heav'n I hope for is lightsome place
Where smiles aye cling to every angel
face;
Where, through eternity-and endless
Ten million million tongues shall ne er, be
still,
Always recounting good, forgetting i'll!
