an adjustment Of the differences be-
tween the city and Mr.. +. T. oliver
upon the question of widening

The breach between Mr. Oliver

TO an amicable settlement wou,d

tain the difficulties between them
and then bent their efforts to
bringing about n settlement. The
news that the widening of South

be hailed with Joy by the entire
city. South Bland street is destined
TO be one OF the busiest thorough

ANOTHER MURDER
In NORTHUMBERLAND

Another bloody murder was added
TO Northumberland county's long list
Friday night-the one hundred and
eighteenth in twenty-one years. The
victim is an Italian saloonkeeper nam :

In. He had been a resident of that
town for twenty-five years and was
well-to-do. He had amassed a com.
Portable fortune. and the fact that
many of his oountrymen were indebt-
ed to him for loans gives rise to the
suspicion that there was a plot back
of his murder.
The murderer's name is Angelo
Moravi. an italian who has been in
this country only couple of months.

STEPHEN JOHNSON
PASSES AWAY

Stephen johnson, a lifelong and
highly esteemed resident of this city,
died at his home, Church street, at ;55
O'Clock Saturday morning. Although
he had been failing for some time
death was quite unexpected.
Had the deceased lived until Feb
ruary 22ud next he would have been
seventy-five years of age. He was a
man of vigorous constitution, All
through life he enjoyed remarkably
good health, his last attack being pra-
ctically the only sickness he ever eX-
perienced.
For two weeks prior to death he was
considerably i1disposed, his ailment
being one incidental to advancing
years No alarm was felt, however,
until Friday, when pneumonia de-
veloped. gDuring the night his oondi-
tion became somewhat serious. The
end at that time, however, was hard
ly dreamed of and when death occur
red it came as a great shock to the
family.
Stephen Johnson was born in Para
disc, Northumberland county, but liv-
ed for the greater part of his life in
Danville. He was very widely known.
For thirty-fi We years he held the posi-
tion of night puddle boss at the Read
ing Iron works. He enjoyed the esteem
and affection of the large number of
workmen employed under him during
his long career as puddle boss. He
was a good citizen, a man devoted TO
his family and who labored to pro-
mote every good and worthy cause.
He was a veteran of the Civil war.
He served first a three months enlist
ment in the Columbia Guards. He
later enlisted in the Fourth New York
cavalry where he served three years.
The deceased is survived by his wild
ow and three daughters: Mrs. S. w.
Morgan, of Danville; Mrs. D. W. Nor
gan, OF Philadelphia and Miss Olive
johnson. the we'll known druggist, of
this city.

Rural Carriers Horse Was Shot,

The horse of Charles Ruckle, mail
carrier on Danville r. f. D. No. ],
was shot while the carrier was cover.
ing his route Saturday afternoon. The
bullet entered the feshy part of the
animals hip and the wound is not
serious. The shooting is surrounded
with mystery.
Mr.. Ruckle had arrived at point
on his route near James Hilkert's in
the vicinity of Mooresburg. where
fields skirt the road on both sides. OF
a sudden a shot rang out and the car.
rier noticed his horse staRger, and
then saw the blood squirt from a
wound in the right hip. He immedi-
ately alighted but could see no one.
He drove to Mr.. Hilkert's place where
remedies were applied. The horse S
condition prevented him from cover
ing the rest of his route.
The only explanation for the shoot.
lug that seems at all likely is that
someone was doing illegal hunting.
Mr.. Ruckle does not entertain the
theory that the shot was intended for
himself. as he knows of no enemies on
the route.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
ON In TOWN STORES

Christmas is less than three weeks
away and soon the stores will be
thronged with holiday shoppers.
From day to day the crowds will
grow greater and with 1t will come
increasing inconvenience to the pur-
chasers. Everybody knows what a
nightmare Christmas eve shopping is.
Everybody ought to know how much
better it would be to begin when the
stores are at their best and when the
clerks have more time to attend to
customers. Usually the week before
Christmas is the time when most Of
the buying is done. This means that
an immense volume of business is
crowded into six days and evenings
and there is little wonder that there
is so much dissatisfaction. It is re-
markable that the storekeepers man
age to give any satisfaction at all.
Christmas buying is at the best a
serious undertaking for there are all
sorts of fancies to accommodate and
the purse must always be consulted.
The average purchaser wants to secure
the best he or she can for the money
at hand, and to wade through crowd
ed stores, catch the attention OF any
particular clerk and getting waited on
quickly is an art that few have mas
tered. Then there is the usual habit
of putting off to late day the selec-
tion of the gift that is to make some
heart glad. This is the worst possible
thing to do and Ii is strange that so
many persons practice it
The one great remedy is to go early
early in the month and early in
the day. The stores will be open
every evening until Christmas. That
is good for those who cannot shop in
the daytime. There are enough of
these to keep every store in Danville
busy enough. How fine it would be
to leave the nights to those who can
not coome at any other time? How
much better it would be if the Others
would shop in daytime, especially in
the morning.
The morning is usually the dullest
time for a store. 1t has the great ad-
vantage of giving you more opportun.
ity to inspect goods and to make care
full selections. The storekeepers would
hail with delight any distribution Of
business over the entire day instead of
providing it all into a few hours,
Nerves would be preserved, time would
be saved, tempers regulated and money
saved Then the satisfaction to every
body concerned would in itself go a
long way toward making more gen.
ersl Merry Christmas.
