The Important Thing.

Reynoldsville is getting a new indus
try now and then that adds much to
the prosperity and Importance of the
town. AS a consequence real estate
values are advancing rapidly and Reyn-
oldsville is in a fair way to become q
manufacturing city of no mean proper
tions. These industries have been se-
cured by the liberal investment Of home
capital. 1t is matter OF faith and
courage, without which nothing worth
while can be accomplished. II indus
tries will not come you must go after
them, II you would have q town. The
important thing in the building Of q
city is to do something to furnish people
employment. The rest will be easy.
When the working man is looking for q
place to locate he naturally selects q
community where he can get job, and
the town that can provide jobs for the
most people is the best town.-Punx-

posed for Government Hospital

On the ground that he is a young man
OF exceptional ability and is earnestly
endeavoring to perform his duties IN the
management OF the Government Hos
pital for the Insane. the board of vis-
itors of that institution will uphold DR..
w. G. White. the new superintendent,
who has recently been subjected to some
public criticism as the result OF labor
troubles at the hospital. due 10 the dis
satisfaction Of some Of the employees.
No complaints have been filed with the
Secretary of the Interior with regard TO
DR.. White. and the board Of visitors
therefore has nothing more to consider
than what has appeared in the public
prints
1t is the evident belief Of some Of
them, however. that perhaps a little
more tact should be manifested by DR..
White in his treatment Of the employees.
The new scale of wages which DR.. White
favors putting into effect. and which
has been the cause OF so much tribula-
tion at the asylum, has been submitted
TO a board of visitors, consisting of ex-
