Eagles Mere is to have a new
Methodist Episcopal church, and the
project already has the financial sup
port to assure its erection. For some
time past the need of such a church
has been recognized, and during the
past few weeks the Rev. T. F. Rip
pie OF LaPorte and the Rev. II. s.
Wilcox, of Williamsport, have been
at work in earnest. Thus far they
have over 81 900 pledged for the new
church and many persons whom they
know are willing and able to give
funds are yet to be seen.
Work on the proposed new edifice
will probably be started early in the
spring, and by the time the summer
guests will have arrived at the Mere
the structure will be in readiness for
services. The Rev. Mr. Ripple is an
earnest and industrious worker in his
chosen line Of work, and i'm his hands
the project will early be pushed to
completion.
Secretary Wilson of the DepaIt
ment of Agriculture, predicts lower
retail prices during the coming Win
ter season for meat, poultry, dairy
products and other necessities of
life. He believes the relief for the
householder will come from tho
enormous yields of small grain and
corn in the great grain territories of
the west. Secretary Wilson says:
Heavy crops have resulted in the
normal conditions in the great pro-
ducing states. The wheat producer
has been losing money for the last
three years. Grain cost too much.
There was no profit in feeding,
strange as this may seem to people
who pay such prices as we do for our
meat. But the heavy grass crop of
this year with the heavy corn crop
and the heavy oats crop, will all
combine to bring about normal feed
ing conditions.
Bruce Fleming of Picture Rocks
was badly burned on Saturday about

He was fixing the fire in heater

his face.
Last Saturday afternoon about
O'Clock as Robert Crammer and

gave way and both men fell with the |

weae completely buried under the
and dirt and it took some |
time to dig them out; their escape !
from death is wonderful. Mr.. Gore
was severely injured in the back and |
other parts of his boby. He was
taken to the Williamsport hospital.
Mr.. Crammer escaped with bad
cash on his head which required sew
aral stitches to close, and bruises but
was able to walk home. He is a son
Of +. j. Crammer of MonroetOn.

Last week we asked George Streby
candidate for County Treasurer, three
questions which he has not answered
'Silence gives consent" and the
public have right to infer that Mr.
Streby did testify, when examined
as IA witness in the judicial contest
that he received considerable sum
of money prior to the election in that
year from the democratic candidates
for Representative and President
Judge; that he also received fifty
dollars from B. Worth Jennings the
Republican candidate for Represen-
tative, and that he did not go to the
polls and vote.
Ambrose f. Farrell was the Dem
Ocratic candidate for Representative
at that time. He was an honorable
and trustworthy man. Mr.. Streby
claimed to be democrat; he was
publishing democratic newspaper;

g to the polls and vote for Farrell

do with it?
