Seventh Commission.

Squire E. Neff, who has been a jus.
tice of the peace in Reynoldsville for a
quarter of century, was at Brookville
on Monday of this week to receive
another commission for FIVE years more.
This is Squire Neff's seventh commits
sion, which we think is record break
er in this section Of the commonwealth.
II Squire continues in his present robust
health for another five years and wants
the eighth commission as justice Of the
peace, there is not the least doubt but
that the people will sanction it by their
votes and that the governor will issue
the commission.

The sooner this matter is consum-
ated the better 1t will b. for all con-
cerned, as the American Silk Company
does not want to put the mill into
operation at Reynoldsville until the
exchange of stock has been completed.
Mr.. M. G. Collins, president of the

be the policy OF the American Silk
Co. to not only place the Reynolds

be sufficient help available within the
next year, the mill capacity will be
greatly increased"

Baccalaureate Sermon.

The baccalaureate sermon for the
Reynoldsville high school graduating
class was preached in the Methodist
Episcopal church Sunday evening by
Mr.. Camden M. Cobern, Ph. D., D. d.,
OF the Allegheny College, of Meadville,
Pa. 1t was a mastery sermon, full OF
force, eloquence and oratorical dis
play. For forty-five minutes DR.. Co.
bern held the close attention of
the large audience that filed
the spacious auditorium and Sunday
school room Of the church. His text
consisted of four words found in the
1lth verse of the SO chapter Of Isaiah !.
"And shall be satisfied" His theme
was Gods faith In man." It was cer-
tainly an able and we'll delivered SER
mon, giving undisputable evidence that
DR.. Cobern is brilliant man, who has
travelled far and near. In his closing
address to the graduating class he gave
the following little poem:
"The world is old, but the heart is young
And the sweetest songs are yet unsung;
Earth's richest treasures yet unsought,
Earth's bravest battles not yet fought.
Look not on the past with vain regret
For the best things haven't happened yet"

Sunday Amusements Killed.

1t begins to look as though Sunday
amusements are killed in Gloucester
county, and that no longer will the mer-
ry-go- rounds, toboggan slides and other
such amusements be allowed on the Sab
bath Day. Judge Starr, ofthe Glouces-
ter county courts, has taken a stand
against them, and the last two Sunday
attractions at Washington Park, Almo-
nesson Lake, Alcyon Park and other
places in the county were closed.
The action of Judge Starr is quite a
surprise to the managers of the Parks,
but he is master of the situation, and
they are compelled to bow tohim. The
Gloucester county authorities are also
keeping close watch ON the lighthouses,
and intend to put a stop to all question
able amusements there, and it will be
but a short time the authorities say, be
fore the county will be rid of all Sunday
amusements.
At Washington Park, the South Jer-
sey Automatic Machine Company esti-
mated a loss of at least $4,000 by the
closing of the amusements there on the
Sabbath Day.
