POINT VIEW LOT SALE.
II was Poor Mans Opportunity to Get
Home.

The auction sale OF town lots al Point
View Saturday was an opportunity for
working man, who does not own his
own home, TO get lot at small price
and on very easy terms. Ten dollars
down and five dollars per month, with
out taxes or interest," for two years.
People who have never visited Point
View, not over five minutes walk from
postoffice, have no idea what desirable
lots the Point View Land Co. are offer
ing for sale. The officers OF the COM
pany, James w. Gillespie president,
Smith M. McCreight secretary and Fl.
Alex Stoke treasurer, enterprising and
progressive citizens, who believe in
pushing things along, concluded to
make a special auction day sale and
give any and all persons an opportunity
to buy some lots cheap at Point View.
The date Of sale was Saturday, June %.
The sale was thoroughly and system
atically advertised, not only In Reyn-
oldsville but in surrounding country.
The day of sale the Keystone band was
engaged for the entire day and the
band played selections between sales
while the auctioneer was getting his
wind and thinking up funny stories,
While only twenty-five lots were sold,
and the sale ought to have been at least
fifty, yet the Point View Land Company
was not discouraged with the days
sales.
At the expense of Point View Land
Co. steel wire rope bridge has been
built over the Sandy Lick creek at foot
OF Fourth street, which makes it only
Short walk from business centre Of
town to Point View plot.
These lots are located near the silk
mill, macaroni factory, glass plant,
brick plants, steel plant and the vacant
land reserved for any new Industries
that may want to locate here in the
future. The time will come, perhaps
sooner than some think, when lots at
Point View cannot be bought for two or
three times the price the Point View
Co. is now asking for them at private
sale.

MOVED BY CONSCIENCE.
Reynoldsville Man Pays An Honest Debt
of Ten Years Standing.

Occasionally we hear OF man whose
conscience will not let ham rest until
some wrong he has committed Is made
right. If conscience was not so often
stihed more wrongs would be made
right and more honest debts paid.
Some ten years ago A. T. Mcclure, F.
d. Smith and J. X. Johnston, who were
partners In the hardware business In
this place, dissolved partnership and
settled their accounts Ten DAYS ago
each member OF the firm received a
letter through the mail like the follow
ing, in which was enclosed $5.42:
Reynoldsville, Pa, June 7, 1907.
Mr.. MCCLURE,
Dear Sir:-Some years ago, while
dealing with the firm, | became under
the impression in looking over the
bills, after settling our account, that
mistake had been made Ia my favor of.
$l625 by not charging some things, and
as 1t has frequently occurred to me since
that perhaps | was holding back what
was not mine by right, have decided
to remit to each member of the firm
what would be their share of the
amount in question S5.42. OF course II
u had taken advantage of the firm in
tentonally IL would be right that they
should have legal interest also, but as
| have never been sure of the mistake,
but to ease my own conscience about it,
would rather pay each their share
OF the amount than to feel that perhaps
that had wronged them.
