Big Snow Drifts.

Mr. Ninian Cooper, who is good
authority, says that in the winters of
1888 and lS43 as much snow fell in this
section Of the countrytas there has been
this winter but the "oldest inhabitant"
never knew of any winter that the
country roads, in all directions, were
drifted as full of snow as they are this
winter. The roads in many sections
are impossible. Nine years ago there
was big snow drift on the pike near
top of hill above West Reynoldsvile,
from nineteen to twenty feet deep, but
on Sunday the drift was even larger
than it was nine years ago. A number
of people walked up the long hill Sun
day to see the big snow drift. Teams
have to drive around the big drift
There were no teams in from out toward
Emerickville from Friday evening until
Monday afternoon Walter B. Reyn-
olds carrier on rural free delivery route
No / has not been able to get over the
entire route for week on account of
snow drifts.
In some places teams are travelling
over public roads where the snow is
from four to six feet deep, making the
roads higher than the fences in many
places When the snow begins to melt
there will be some fouudering with
teams on the public roads.
The township supervisors are kept
busy trying 10 keep the public roads
open.
There are large banks of snow in front
of business places on Main street, shov-
eled off sidewalks, that should be haul
ed away.

Pa, an erstwhile Reynoldsville boy,
we'll known to many Of our citizens, will
deliver lecture in the Reynoldsville

Womer, who is now an able and scholar
ly preacher, spent a year or two in
Utah and his lecture is constructed
from facts as he saw them in Salt Lake
City. 1t will be very interesting
lecture and will be well worth the small
price of admission, % cents. Rev.
Womer will lecture under the auspices
of the Methodist Episcopal Sunday

Farmers Institute.

1t is claimed that the farmers insti-
tute held at Aliens Mills last week,
under the management of r. F. Morri-
son, was one of the most interesting in
stitutes ever held at that place. An
excellent program was provided and
carried out. There we're five sessions
held, two on Tuesday and three We'd
nesday, and Notwithstanding the fact
that there were big snow drifts in all
directions and it was difficult for the
people to get there, the attendance was
large at every session. Those who at
tended the institute to receive instruc-
tion we're certainly not disappointed.

Chapped and Rough Skin.

1t is only the thin, dry skin that is
irritated by the wind the skin that
does not contain enough oil to keep it
soft and elastic. Chapped skin is caused
by the cold air suddensly contracting
the outer skin and causing it to crack
and chap. Reynolds Perfect Skin Food
applied to dry skin furnishes the
nourishment necessary for keeping it
soft and elastic, so that it will expand
and contract naturally when it comes in
contact with warm or cold air. Apply
Perfect Skin Food before going out and
on returning indoors, as instructed in
general directions.

of this place, engineer on the passenger
train, saw the freight, but the smoke
and steam were blowing down over en-
gine and he thought engine was en- the
siding until he was too close to stop his
train, but quick action on the part OF
Mr.. Montgomery in applying air brakes
and the fact that the freight engine had
started back on to siding, prevented a
bad wreck. The passengers were given
a shaking up, but no one seriously hurt.
One gentleman and lady were standing
up in aisle of car getting ready to get
off train at Dubois and when engines
collided they were thrown down in the
car and slightly injured.
The passenger engine was so badly

The Farm Cream Senarntor.

The cream separator for farm use is
here to stay. 1t has proven its utility,
and we want to impress upon those of
our readers with mich cows the absolute
necessity of making use of its undisput-
able advantages. In many cases it
would be more profitable to sell one of
your cows to pay for separator, rather
than do without one. For we know of
instances where farmers with five to ten
cows have found that a cream separator
actually added to the profits as much as
another COW would, and remember that
this profit kept right along with the use
of the separator. You would have to
pay for the keep of the extra COW, but
the Separator makes the profit and
"keeps" itself.
a well-made machine will wear for
skimming methods by the increase it
makes in your product, and the profit
continues after the machine has already
paid for itself. Be sure the separator
you buy is clean skinner. The YER
