Silent River

Ella Gertrude. youngest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jouothan Whitmore, died
at their home on Mabel street Sunday
night at 1l.30 o'clock, April 80, after a

manner, gentle in disposition, and the
Joy of the home. She made profession
of religion and was baptized Feb. 3,
1901, and united with the Baptist
church of our town. She loved her

and frequently would fall asleep with
her bible in her bed with her. She bore
her suffering patiently, and while she
was hopeful for life, yet she was fully
resigned to the will of the Master.

sons and remaining daughter have the
sympathy of their many friends in their
sorrow. Funeral services were held on

made in Baptist cemetery.

insburg, Samuel, of Reynoldsville, and

Talked Street Paving.

At the regular monthly meeting of
West Reynoldsvile town council Mon
day evening the question of paving
Pike street, from iron bridge to Penn
sylvania railroad, was favorably dis
cussed and il is likely the street will be
paved this year, as stated in The STAR
last week. Council appointed a COM
mittee TO get an estimate of the
probable cost OF the paving. 1t would
not only add greatly to the appearance
of the street to pave it, but it would be
economy in the end, as that piece of
street has cost the borough about as
much in the past ten years to keep it in
repair as it would cost to pave, and
with this expense each year the street
gets in bad condition several times
year. Council is taking the proper
step.

Dogs Took Off Muzzle.

]. H. Corbett has a small dog called
Dandy" which knows more than it'
tells. Dandy" like many another
dog, does not become easily reconciled
to the muzzle the board of health's
edict has made necessary for dogs to
wear, and Dandy" only wears it be-
cause he can not help it. One day last
week another dog with muzzle on visit
ed Dandy" and the dogs stood with
their heads together few minutes,
discussing, no doubt, the imposition
they had to submit to and they evident
ly decided to disdainfully ignore the
edict and remove the muzzles. "Dandy"
took hold Of the other dogs muzzle
with his teeth and by the two dogs
working together they removed the
muzzle, and then the other dog took
hold OF "Dandy's" muzzle with his
teeth, but before they succeeded in
getting off the muzzle a member of
the Corbett family, who had been
watching the dogs, interfered and
Dandy" didn't get his muzzle of.
