Seven rlen Injured.

At Ringtown at 5 o'clock Sunday
evening two cars on the Philadelphia
& Reading railroad were derailed by
a broken fiange and the Catawissa and
Mahanoy Plains wreck trains were
called out, the former arriving first
aud at once beginning work. One car
was loaded with iron two inches square
and 80 feet long, each bar weighing
500 pounds. The car tilted over when
derailed Before it could be placed in
position again some of the iron had to
be removed, and when engaged in un-
loading the iron seven men, all of Cat
awissa, were injured
The removal of part of the iron
lightened the weight of the partly
overturned car to such an extent that
the car tilted back in place and the
men working with the iron bars were
caught by them as they rolled in the
car.

LOCAL RELICS
OF ANTIQUITY

In i'll accord with the new MILL
street pavement, modern, substantial
and slightly, are those relics of the past
that darken the entrances of so many
business houses-the antiquated, ,dingy
wooden coverings used as awnings.
While the Council in voting public
improvements is alive to the needs OF
an up-to-date city the merchants
should rise to the exigencies OF the
time and get in the line of progress.
These wooden coverings are not only
in the nature of distractions and un-
slightly objects, but they in fact are
hindrance to the store people in keep :
ing attractive places of business, al
most totally excluding the light as
they do. Wake up, Danville business
men, and throw off these sombre COW
erings that seem likely to produce q
Rip Van Winkle sleepl Every wood

paving, work is finished so that Mill
street may become sprightly. beauti'

r d Routes are Increasing

A second successful year for the rural
free delivery system in Montour coun-
ty closed last week, on September 30.
The r. F. d. routes are especially
serviceable for the people living far
from post offices and all of the farmers
are warm in their praise of it. That
the rural delivery system has given
satisfaction and proven a great con-
venience is evidenced by an increase
in the mail handled in this section,
which has been followed by alike
growth of the number of routes. In
fact there are now just about twice as
many of them as there were a year
ago.
There is no galnsaying that it is a
very fine thing for the men on the
farm to be able to take an hour after
breakfast for looking over his city
ne wspaper, fresh from the press and
received the same morning it is pub
lished When it is recalled that the
news even of his own section hitherto
did not reach the farmer until it was
a couple days old it can readily be un-
derstood that the rural free delivery
means something to the country folks.
giving them equal advantages with
their city friends so far as mail faoil-
tiles go.

Foot Ball DAYS.

Rah! Rah! Rah
The old goufalon is abroad in the
land. The rallying cry of the foot ball
fellows haunts the air.
1t is the cry of the strenuous life.
1t is the spirit of the conquering
Anglo Saxon that vents itself-the
spirit that has won victories from
Naseby and Marston Moor to San Juan
Hill.
That spirit of the young American
cannot be downed save by emasoulat-
ing his life. 1t has in it the swing
and go of superabundant vitality. 1t
must voice itelf Your college boy is
no anohorlte.
Rough?
Yes, rough to the verge Of brutality.
The sport is played by fellows with
red blood in their veins. Nerves court
the shock of battle. There's joy i'll it.
The anaemic and shrinking can have
no fellowship in the fierceness of that
JOY. It's in the blood.
Normal youth must 60 up against
something There's a fight in every
young, robust man. And the average
instinct is for free fight and no odds.
Foot ball affords an open field and a
fair chance.
If it is not to be foot ball it will be
something else AMI maybe something
worse The forces of life gather and
there must be vent.
Moreover
The qualities required in football
are the manly ualities-fairness,q quick
obedience, patience, alertness, force
full energy. These qualities will en-
able the young man who tackles his
adversary to tackle the more serious
rush line of life's great foot ball game
Rah Rah Rah
1t is the cry of the coming genera
tion-the sharp challenge to the flu
ture You may deprecate the game.
You may disprove the play. But
You cannot stop it.

The corn crops hereabouts are not
up to the standard this year. Heavy
frosts have gotten i'll their work and
in consequence in this section the
crop will be from 10 to 20 per cent.
below normal, which is practically the
same condition existing in other parts
of the country.
The potato crop this ear is a large
one. Unfortunately many of the tub
ers are rotting. A blight seems to fol-
low the plant right down into the

ceeded in maturing the potatoes before
this blight reached them will not lose
