the pump illustrates the matter very

the printing ran down. After some
time of alternate pumping and rest

his business before he advertised again
and then concluded advertising did
not pay.

The trade territory of town is
not all dependant upon the distance
to neighboring trading points. The
trade territory depends upon the enter
prise of the merchants and the resi-
dents of the town. If a town does
not reach after the trade it will
come only as fast as it has to, and
it will grow as it is forced to. But if
the merchants go alter buinsess in
the surrounding country, advertising
in every possible way, and making
good every word of thei advertising,
trade will come from an ever in

September Court.

On next Monday September court
will convene in this city. The term
carries with it especial interest, as tie
case of Commonwealth VS. Peter Diet
rich, in which the jury disagreed in
June, will come up for second trial.
Dietrich has passed through quite
an ordeal since the first trial He has
had almost four months of close con
tinement during the hottest season of
the year, in addition to which he has
had the heavy burden of suspense to
bear. Notwithstanding he has borne up
bravely and seems in good condition
to stand the second trial.
in addition to the Dietrich murder
case, there is another homicide case,
that of Commonwealth VS. Clarence
Carr, the boy who is accused of push
ing another lad, George Fausnaught,
into the old soaking PIT at the steel
plant with the result that the latter
boy was drowned. He likewise has
spent the long interim in jail. The
Comm onwealth cases are only about a
dozen in number and include in addi-
tion to the above, one in which the
charge is perjury. The rest are only
trivial in their nature.
The civil list contains the two Fleish-
man trespass cases, which promise to
become unique in the history of Mon
tour county court. They have been
dragging along for many years and
there is little probability that they
will be tried at the next term. One of
the cases is Simon Fleishman VS. Paul
p. Swentek and the other Simon Fleish
man VS.. Michael Breckbill, sheriff of
MOntOur county. The case is remark
ably entangled and the task of netting
out justice to the several parties in
vOlved will be task that will give
the court plenty to do. Simon Fleish-
man, who owned stock of dry goods
had a difference with Mr. Swentek,
who owned the building in which the
store was kept The sheriff in the per
formance of his duties became involv-
ed Meanwhile the stock of goods rep
resenting many hundred dollars is
stored in the Sheriif's office in the
court house, which gives that sedate
apartment somewhat the appearance
of cheap clothing store. In all the
years in which the cases have been
pending the moth and dust have left
their trace on the clothing, which are
now probably only worth fraction of
what they were when moved from the
store to the sherifT's office.

Third Crop of BuCkwheat. .

Reports from different sections in

is one of the standbys of this section
will be unusually short this season
and the probabilities are that the tooth

The farmers in all sections complain
that the huckwheaU is not filled, and
that it will not yield more than a
third of "a crop. With the prospects of
long, cold winter before us the out
look is anything but bright. 1t is to
be hoped that these predictions as to a
shortage in the buckwheat crop will
prove untrue, and that every one will
have an opportunity to have all the

complains that the reservoir is full of
muck and filth and that the council,
instead of taking steps to have the sit

er declares that Tamaqua' owes to the
people to keep the water supply pure

Old Fashioned Barn Raising.

The farm of Emanuel Sidler, Valley
township, was the scene of an old
fashioned barn raising" Monday,
the structure being built taking the
place of the fine barn on the premises
destroyed by lightning in July.
over half hundred men were pres
cnt and no greater amount of good
work was ever accomplished at any
frolic of its kind. BY night the huge
transverse frames of the new barn
were raised into position and from
now on the work will rapidly and
easily progress toward completion with
out any help other than from the reg
ular force of carpenters employed. The
modern method of raising barns
and similar buildings is by means of
a large derrick erected on the spot at
considerable labor and expense. In the
old-fashioned barn raising" how
ever, the united strength of many will
ing hands totally discounts modern
methods of carpentry and in a single
day or a fraction of it.at only nom
inal cost work is accomplished that
would otherwise require any amount
of preparation and expense. In the
rural communities, where a feeling of
neighbors lines prevails beyond what
town people can easily conceive of,
barn raisings' along with other
pleasant customs will linger for many
years To come
