Mailer Glass Plant
Has Been Leased
Kane People Propose to Oper-
ate the Plant at Dubois
this Season.

There is very good prospects that
the Mailer glass factory will be again
put in operation, and perhaps for full
run the coming season.
Some parties from Kane haye been
In town few days and it is under
stood that the plant has finally been
secured by them by lease. They claim
to be Bohemian glass makers and they
understand the business. Monday they
were making preparations for some
alterations and refitting the factory,
which has been idle for long time.
The season is again almost at hand
for starting up the fires in the glass
factories, and the Courier has been
told that these parties want to have
the plant In shape for starting at the
usual time, or as near to it as possible.
1t is possible that glass making will
begin before the first OF October.

Theophilus Pantall.

Theophilus Pantall, one Of the
wealthiest men In this community,
died at his home in Young township,
about two miles north OF this place,
last Wednesday forenoon, August 8,
1908, OF neuralgia Of the heart, aged
81 years. Mr.. Pantall had not been
in good health for more than year
but his illness was not OF such nature
as to cause his friends to believe that
his death would result so suddenly.
About a week ago he had serious
attack and for a time it was thought
that he could not recover, but Re
recuperated and was thought to be
improving.
The deceased was one OF the most
successful business men in Jefferson
county and leaves large fortune. He
is survived by his wife and the follow
ing children: Lon Pantall, cashier OF
the First National bank, Mrs. Clara
Goheen, who is making her home in

Good Roads Associa-
ton Needed in County
Cooperation Of Supervisors
and People Could Accom-
plish Much.

II the supervisors of jefferson
county could be brought together
annually, for weeks session, on
some such terms and under such con-
ditions as those which have been pro-
vided for our school teachers, there
would be little doubt but that within
very few years a system could be
evolved which would lesson wonder
fully the burdens of road taxation
and result in securing roads that
would be from 300 to 500, or more,
per cent better than that at present.
Other counties in many other states
have been experimenting for years
and out of these experiments has come
plan that has never yet failed where
it,has been given fair trial
The earth road is by far the most
common type of highway in this coun-
try. Its cheapness In comparison with
other types of construction and the
absence in many sections OF the country
of rock, gravel, or other hard natural
materials for road building will render
its use necessary for many years to
come.
There are at present In this country
about 100000 miles of such roads,
most of which must be maintained by
some means more or less inexpensive.
The split-log drag is of great service
on roads Of this class, and an increasing
mileage of the rural highways of this
country is kept in repair economically
and well by this simple implement. 1t
is now in use in many states of the
Union and foreign countries also, and
its adoption in most localities where
there are earth roads will doubtless
increase rapidly.
One good Roads Association in the
county acting in conjunction with
supervisors association would, within
a few years, work a marvellous change
in highway maintenance and construc-
tion. n.--Punxsutawney Sp,rit.

Double Track Nearly Completed.

1t is expected that doube-tracking

been In use for several weeks and In
few weeks all will be cut In with the
exception OF a single track around the
big bore.
Considerable difficulty has been found
in constructing the tunnel. The work.
ers ran into soft shale formation that
is not self-supporting and by shifty
nature is causing much trouble and in
convenience. Owing to this fault 1t
cannot be said when the hole will be
ready for rails. With parts OF the new

tween the two points named are elimi-

During the war of the Rebellion there
were many families that contributed
nobly to the cause Of the union by send
ing their sons to the front and they paid
dearly In the sacrifice OF life and blood.
OF the six sons of George Boyle, an ex-
pert cabinet maker and man promi-
nent in religious work, five sons enlisted
and two died for their country. One of
the two survivors, who was wounded
and shattered in health, was Wilder
Mack Boyle, the subject Of this sketch,
we'll known and highly respected
farmer OF Winslow township, jefferson
county. The family are of Irish extrac-
tion. The grandfather, Daniel Boyle,
immigrated from Ireland to America
with his family In 1907. He was a tailor
by trade and settled in Clarion Co., Pa.
His son, George Boyle, who was born In
179S, learned the cabinet makers trade,
and at Philipsburg, Pa, married Miss
Elizabeth McCloskey, native of that
town. Their early married life was
spent near Curllsville, Clarion Co., Pa,
