BRIDEG APPROACH
ON SOUTH side

The case against the Commissioners
of Northumberland county for main.
tai1inR nuisance in connection with
the approach to the bridge on the
South Side has been settled and peace
occe more reigns between the Super
visors of Gearhart township and the
Board of County Commissioners. The
temporary approach is to do service
until January lst, when the new board
assumes control
The approach at the South Side has
been the source OF much contention
ever since the completion Of the bridge.
The approach was declared county
improvement by Judge Savage, but the
Commissioners refused to enter upon
the work and the roadway at that end
of the bridge lay in au unfnished d
state all summer and autumn
On September 9th the County Com
missioners-M Messrs. John Beck, George
W. Raudeubush and Allen w. Cooner
who refused to carry out the Judges
order. were returned TO Court by Con-
stable Bruce McCrackan, who request
ed that they be indicted and tried on
the charge of maintaining nuisance
at South Danville, of negligence and
of failure to do their duty. On the
CT pf
directed the District Attorney to pre-
sent bill to the Grand Jury.
On September 2Sth the County Com
missiOuers appealed the order Of Judge
Savidge making the bridge approach
o unity improvement and roUk the mat
ter TO the Supreme Court. On Septem-
the Grand Jury. The September term
of court, however, adjourned on that
day aud the case was carried over to
December court, when it was under
stood it would come up for trial, un-
less in the interim the County Com
miss oners proceeded to build the ap-
proaCh.
A couple of weeks ago the Commits
sioners fixed up the approach tempor-
arily, ,expending probably one hundred
dollars on thu work. Retaining walls
we're not built and no one could claim
that the improvement was anything
like what was implied by the Courts
order.
Accordingly when December court
convened in Northumberland county,
Monday, Messrs. Baylor and Richarts,
Supervisors of Gearhart township, &C
companied by eight witnesses went
down 90 Sunbury prepared 10 push the
prosecution As above stated, how
ever, the case did not come to trial.
The County Commissioners made a
proposition look ing to settlement and
had long talk with the Court The
pending appeal o; Judge Savidge's or
der probably helped 10 influence mat
ters little; at all events settlement
was agreed upon. The Supervisors
were determined to obtain the best
terms possible for the township and
would agree to nothing less than that
the County Commissioners should pay
for the work done on ihe approach and
all the costs of the case. These terms
were reluctantly acceded to, which
makes Gearhart township victor at
the present stage of the game.
Judge Ssvidge stated that when the
County Commissioners enter upon
office in January, ne will accompany
them to South DAnyille to look care
fully over the ground and hat he will
endeavor TO have suitable approach
built, one that will meet the demands
of traffic and conform in appearance
with the general structure.

Christmas Shopping.

There has been such delay in Wint-
er's coming that the big dry goods and
clothing stores do not care to have
Christmas shopping pushed too strong
ly by the papers until the winter
wares are disposed of, for after the
holidays many householders think
Winter is almost half gone, and they
can do without heavy goods, etc, for
a short period. Nevertheless, most. if
not all, our stores are ready for the
Christmas shopper, and the fact re-
mains that less than three weeks of
shopping remain until Christmas Eve
There are great many people who do
not get their pay envelope, or have the
M cans before, to make their holiday
purchases until the last week, couple
days, or day before Christmas; but
there are just as many people who
have ready money and who intend to
make purchases, who can buy, as far
as their purse is concerned, just as
well now as two weeks later, and il
is such folks who are advised to do
Christmas shopping now. Those who
are wise will seize the day.
The shops are full of Christmas
specislties. There is no time for choice
like the present. And IN the furry of
the pressing moments at the end there
is no place for deliberation and full
satisfaction.
Every year the women folks wear
themselves out and suffer discomfort
and even misery in the crush and hustle
of the closing hours of the ante. Christ
mas period. Every year the salespeo-
pie and clerks in the shops are dis
tracted and overworked to meet the de-
mands of the people who come at the
last minute to fill out their lists, in
considerably and perfunctorily. What
is the result? The purchasers make
10 any mistakes, there are misfits in
the presents which they secure. and
there is discomfort all along the line.
Advance your Christmas shopping
by few weeks aud you will get bet.
ter satisfaction in the result and the
usual holiday congestion will be re-
lieved.

day.

The entertainment has created a de-
cided sensation wherever it has been
presented, being patronized by the

in many cases the largest halls and
opera houses have been too small to
hold all who desired to attend. and
hundreds turned away unable to OBJ
tain standing room.

der the auspices of the Young Mems

One of our most respected citizens
will be tried for the larceny of Ply.

sit in Judgment upon the case, will be
composed OF our most prominent citi
zens. 1t will without doubt be an
affair long TO be remembered with
pleasure.
