OLDEST BUSINESS
ESTABLISHMENT

Charles Woods has closed out the
boot and shoe business at the old
stand, No. 2I7 Mill street. The busi-
ness was wound up at special sale
last week, the last pair of shoes being
disposed OF late Saturday night.
Thus the oldest and one of the best
known business establishments in Dau-
Vile closed its doors Thomas Woods
opened up the shoe business in Dan
Vile in 1910 in the very same build
ing, 2l7 Mill street. where the stock
waS closed out aud in which tue busi-
ness was continuously conducted dur
ing the long care II of sixty five years.
The fact was generally commented up
on along the street yesterday and no
one could think of any other business
establishment in DanviIla that had
been in tho hands of one family for
such length of tins or that vas
founded so long ago and conducted
continuously at the same stand.
The Woods shoe store was the first
establishment of that kind in D.u-
willie. Thomas Wood upon removing
put four men TO work manufacturing
shoes in building at the rear of the
shoe store. Previously there we're cob
blers or shoe makers in Danville, who
took the measurement of the custom
er's foot and made pair OF shoes TO
fit but Nj, Woods business was de-
parture in that shoes OF different
style and sizes we're made and used TO
stock up the store. Thomas Woods thus
becoming a pioneer in the present
method OF supplying footwear TO the
public.
70 whom an apprentice from time TO
time was added, kept pegRing away in
the little building IN the rear while
the stock Of mems, ladies aud chill.
dren's shoes kept accommodating on the
shelves, passing from thence out into
the homes OF the people. The first hob
nail shoes used in Dsnville were man
ufactured by Mr.. Woods. These we're
much in demand among the iron work
ers at the big mill and the profits &C
crulng from their manufacture was in
itself a big item.
Mr. Woods continued to manufacture
shoes until about 1875, when the chang
ed conditions in the trade made it
more profitable to purchase footwear
for selling from the larger factories
where many advantages obtained over
Mr.. Woods limited facilities. At the
death Of Thomas Woods, his son
Charles took hold of the business aud
conducted it until the present.
The old stand, which dates back so
far In the past and around which so
many associations cluster, will hence
forth be used as a mandatory for
cigars 1t has been leased by Henry
Gottsellig and Brother of Lancaster,
who will take possession today. The
firm, which has large business es-
tsbllshed, will manufacture cigars for
the retail trade

WILL REMOVE
CANAL BRIDGE

Among the improvements in store
for our town during the coming sum-
mer will be the removal of the canal
bridge at Ferry street and the con.
Struction of Culyert with ample wat.
er way to take its place.
The Borough is responsible for the
Ferry street bridge just as it was for
the structure at Mill street by virtue
OF an agreement several years ago en-
tered into with the Pennsylvania Can
al Comp'ny, whereby the Borough OBJ.
liRated itself TO remove both these
structures in consideration of being
given the ironwork, stone, etc, used
in the structure. The bridge is an un-
slightly old affair and is rapidly reach
ing limit when it will be no longer
considered safe In prosecuting its
policy of improvements Council can
do no less than order its removal.
The work will in all probability be
catered upon Coincidenr with the re-
sumlng OF paving on MIL street, whloh
will begin in very short time. The
intention seems to be to utilize the
ground that is excavated in filing up
the culvert built to replace the bridge.
The paving will require a great deal
of excavating, between she Montour
House and the river bridge but the
gronnd can all be conveniently dispOs-
ed of at the culvert.
The idea is to build culvert like
the one at Church street. without any
side or retaining walls, ma rely laying
three-toot iron pipe in tbs bottom OF
the canal and dumping the earth anC
stone in upon it. filling up to the en-
tire width of the street.

Petitioning for Free Delivery

Petitioning for Free Delivery.
The people of South DanVIlle and
| Riverside, are circulating petition
asking the Post Office Department to
establish free delivery of mail in those
two places. The residents on the South
side obtain their mail from tile Riv-
erside Post Office. They resent he
idea, however, OF being Obliged to re-
c-ive their mali in the old-fashioned
way in the present progressive tlIes
and regard themselves little worse
off than the scattered Inhabitants Of
the rural disirict-, who have their mail
delivered at their doors daily by the
r. +. D. carriers.
This is the way they look at it.
What view the Post Office Depsrtme Mt
may take OF the matter will develop
later. a free d livery IN connection
with the r verside Post Office is SAID
10 b out of tine question, unless that
Vile Post Off e. Some are of the opin-
ion thar tree delivery for South DAN
Vile and Riverside if granted at all
could only be maintained in Connec-
lion with the Danville Post Office.
Whatever the ultimate outcome may
be the movement seems popular. Last
evening the petition had about q hun
dred signers.

In the novelette, which opens the
April Smart Set, Grace MacGowen
Cooke has struck an entirely new note

so saturated with the atmosphere OF
that part OF our country and so photo.
graphic in its depletion of ranch life
that it will take high rank among tn.
best tales of that class yet il is more
as a character study that Tile Red
Headed Woman will win praise. The
heroine is the most original, the most
human, the most refreshing woman
who for long time has stepped from
a printed page. There is no reader who
viii not be fascinated by her vagaries
and interes ted in her remarkable ca
TeeT.
The short stories in this number GOV.
er wide field. First of all, there is a
wonderfully graphic tale by q new
writer, Julia Lawrence Shaiter, which
she has cal ed "A Realist." In il,
with consummate art, she analyses the
intricate character of forlorn Grimm
