Beautiful Display
of Fireworks.
Several Costly and very.Unique
Pieces Set Off In the Pres
ence Of Fifteen Thousand
People.

One Of the prettiest displays Of fire.
works ever seen in the county was
given about 9 30 last evening on the
vacant lot opposite Breton's auto in
cline. 1t was in charge OF the amuse-
ment committee. The big crowd of
pleasure-seekers were just turning
away after seeing Breton leap the gap
when half dozen sky rockets shooting
over their heads was the signal for
burst OF beauty thai held them SPELL
bound for half an hour or more. Some
OF the pieces were very elaborate and
costly and caught the fancy of the
people, who expressed their approval
in repeated cheers. Perhaps the
crowning feature was the representa-
tion of a house, OF beautiful architect
ural design, aglow with light at win
dows and doors. As the piece proceed
ed fire seemed to break out, flames
shot on high, sparks rained down and
presently the structure commenced to
fall, disappearing at last in darkness.
There we're many other varied designs
and it was fitting close to the most
successful day of the Old Home Week
celebratinu.

First Happenings
in ReynoIdsviIIe
DR.. w. ]. Mcknight Contrib
utes Interesting Data Con-
cerning Early Events in the
Town.

What is now Reynoldsvile was laid
out in 1880 by Charles Z. Gaskill and
called Olney. Only one lot was sold.
Gaskill was agent for the land and
erected the first building, two roomed
log house on the east side OF Sandy
Lick, and on the south side OF the turn
pike. This building was tavern for
the new town and was opened by a man
named Caldwell and was kept by Joseph
Potter until 1893. In 1882 the land on
which Reynoldsville nov stands was a
hemlock swamp and the present Main
street was long corduroy bridge.
Reynoldsville was originally an Indian
village and was such when Andrew
Barnett located in this wilderness. The
last Indians to tarry here was the
Johns family, in 1924. The present
town was laid out in September 1873 on
Warrant 1925. The plotting off and
the lots were sold by David and Albert
Reynolds. The first burgess was M. M.
Miner who was appointed and served
only few months. The first elected
burgess was DR.. J. W. Faust In March,
1874. When the town was incorporated
it had about two hundred people. The
first coal shipped from Jefferson county
was from the Diamond Coal Mine at
Revnoldsvile The first bridge built
across the creek was in 1922 The first
timber raft was run out on the Sandy
Lick to Pittsburg in .S43. The first
circus exhibited in Reynoldsville was
in 1S45. The first store in what is now
Reynoldsville was opened by Thomas
Reynolds in 1874 In 1874 he erected
the first tannery. Woodward Reyn
olds was the first man to mine coal for
sale, in what is now Reynoldsville,
about 1898. The first school In this
place was taught in a little log house on
the east side Of Coolspring Hollow.
Patrick Feeley was teacher in 1847.
Between 1851 and 1860 the greatest
amount of rafting was done on Sandy
Lick creek. The early merchants in
Reynoldsville were Daniel Dunham,
Frederick Farmer, Washington Rhodes,
Henry 81. Gordon and Charles
II Gordon. The early religious
services we're held In house that stood
near the present site of Burns hotel,
and which was occupied by Milton
Coleman. During service in 1852 the
second story floor Of this house gave
way. The stove was upset and the con-
gregation was precipitated to the base
ment. Five persons were SO injured
that they died. The first white person
born within the present limits OF Reyn-
oldsville was David Reynolds. He is
still living In the town. In 1857, when
DIR. W. j. Mcknight, Of Brookville
practiced medicine in Winslow town
ship and In the town Of Reynoldsville.
he came from Brookville on horseback.
He doctored in the families OF nearly all
the old pioneers. He is the only doctor
in Jefferson county living that prac-
ticed medicine in that year. The first
newspaper for Reynoldsville was print
ed in 1871 and was named the "Advo-
cate" The pioneer burying ground
was located near the school house which
stood in Coolspring Hollow. In 1857

 The three men looked at each other and understood. For a few moments no one dared to speak. Even Tanker lane, whose hatred for John Shil was the fierce passion of his life. was afraid to speak. For the daylight streamed down through the open hatchway of the cabin. and 1t was light enough to read a newspaper.
 'Yes, sir" said Yardley. in a harsh voice, "our can of oils got washed overheard. Iris powerful dark. as you say. sir.

 No, I want to go to Con'sea."
 "'Tis the place we're maxim for" said Yardley, "ain't it, sir?' and he turned to Sir William Tankerlane. who was standing in the shadow of the hatchway. But the baronet did not answer. He was wondering why Shil had not recognized him.
 i'We're maxim for Con'sea, now. sir.' continued Yardley, "only we happened to pick up bit of Black Spit Island.
