portant industries here. While we
hope our fondest hopes may be realized
yet we do not trace some of the reports
to reliable source. We will be only
to well pleased to give our readers re-
liable information when we possess the
same. In the meantime don't build
your air castles too high. That Empori-
um is admirably situated and we be-
lieve the day is not far distant when
we will rapidly grow. While waiting
why not get move on-make better
streets and pave them, a larger electric
light plant with capacity sufficient for
day as well as night, an improved
water system, proper sewage and what
is more essential extend our Borough
boundary, for reasonable distance,
north, south, east and west. In other
words get move on; work for Greater
Emporium and be prepared to offer
better inducements than any Of our
sister towns.
Attend the weekly meetings of our
Board of Trade, (Monday and Friday
evenings), show your public spirited
ness and push. DON'T croak-push
and pull for the welfare of our town
and county. Come to the Board of
Trade meeting Friday evening.

Big Crowds.

The attendance at the Theatorium
continue to increase. The clean NOV
ing pictures given at this popular re-
sort has rapidly grown and hundreds
of our citizens would not think of miss
ng an hour there every evening.
Last Saturday evening was a hum
mer-double show-and all for ten
cents. While five cents, the usual ad-
mission, attracts large audiences, the
double show simply packs the hall for
hours.

jority of 293 and served for three
years. He has resided in this and ad-
joining counties all his life. except a
short time, when he was engaged in
numbering in the west; was a man of
considerable ability and always pushed

Hamilton, like all of us, may have had
his faults, yet we personally know of
many, very many, kind acts of charity
extended to his fellow men. He would
give his last dollar for any laudable
purpose and the large attendance and

Great State of Pennsylvania.

Great State OF Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvanians have every reason
to be proud of the grand old Keystone

The taxable valuation of its proper
ty is S5, 769, III, 1927; second only to New

wealth of Belgium, Spain, the Neither
lands; it is twice that of Portugal or
Switzerland.

are $47O, ,51S, with deposits of ST.
3Sl, ,442, 443; second only to New York.

paid than any similar wage-earners of
any country in the world. It's 23,495

''It beats the Dutch" This was gen.
orally the remarks when the team
from Emporium out-classed and out
played the st. Marys team in one of
the fastest and best games played here
this season. st. Marys heretofore be-
ing almost invincible, refused to go on
floor if Pieretti played, and Hockey,
although badly crippled, was forced to
go in his old position, and the way lie
made the fur fly, caused ST. Marys to
wish they had allowed him to stay out
of the game. All of the Emporium
boys played a star game. Cheering
was there with his usual number of
goals with Vogt a close second. Dauer
played star game for St. Marys.

OF Dir. S. >. Smith, died at the family
residence, Fourth street, last Tuesday
evening at seven O'Clock, after long
illness, being great sufferer from
Bright's disease since 1892. During

degree aided in his success, she being q
good financier and economical mana
ger. The deceased lady was a mem
ber of the Presbyterian church and
while she was not permitted to attend
services very regularly, owing to her
constant ill-health, yet she was a
liberal contributor.
The funeral takes place Friday after
noon at two o'clock, from the family
residence, East Fourth street, the SER
vices to be conducted by Rev. Mr.. Lux,
pastor of Presbyterian church. We
hope to be permitted to publish a
more extended obituary in our next
issue.
Mr.. M. F. Leslie, years ago resi-
dent of Driftwood and a particular
friend of the family, now engaged in
the undertaking business at Pittsburg,
has charge of the funeral, assisted by
undertaken B. Egan, of Emporium.
The remains will be deposited in the
private vault in Wiley cemetery.
