Grist Mil Changes Hands;
Brookville Men Purcease,

Some time ago an important business
deal was contaminated whereby the
the grist mill on Railroad street origin
ally built and owned by ]. c. King &
Go. was sold to Messrs. Wallace &
Stef, Of Brookville and it is probable
that the new owners will assume
charge within the next month. Dur
ing the past three and a half years
the mill has been operated under a
lease by ]. W. Hunter & Brother and
run almost continuously during that
period. The managing parter, E. wray
Hunter, has since become associated in
another important concern and was no
longer able to devote attention to the
grist mill business. Wallace & Stefl
are old and experienced mill men, hav-
ing long had charge Of mill located

SummerviIle Makes
Important Links
Extends Its Telephone Service
Over a Wide Expanse OF
New Territory.

By an arrangement which went into
effect last week the rural telephone
lines Of Jefferson, Indiana, the western
end of Clearfield, and parts OF Clarion,
Forest and Armstrong counties have
been put 10 contact through the med
ium OF the Summerville Telephone Co.
Three important connections were
made when the Farmers wires, with
q list of 500 users, were run into the
Summerville exchange at Punxstu-
tawney; the lines OF the Paradise Tele-
phone system, with 200 instruments
were added to the switchboard OF the
major system at Reynoldsville and con-
nection with the big Red Bank farmers
lines with its 1900 subscribers, was
made at Brookville. Service to all
three of the rural systems can be had
and Summerville renters are given
access, counting the S. U. B., to a total
OF 1900 houses in the country districts.
The joining up OF these companies is
one of the most important moves that
has been made in telephone circles in
this part OF the state in long time and
will prove great convenience to the
patrons of the various companies. .--Du-

Manufacturing Brick
From Furnace Stag
Bellefone Man is Perfecting A
New Process To Utilize
Waste Product.

According to the reports In our ex-
changes, J. G. Roe, of the Bickford
Brick Co., of Bellefonte, has been per-
fecting process for the manufactur-
ing of brick out of the Stag, generally
wasted at iron furnaces, and it is now
alleged that the new material has been
tested and found to be as good for
building purposes as any first class
brick. n
1t is said that Bellefonte man re-
Gently used material made by the new
process for the front of new business
block in that town and several other
buildings, now in the course OF con-
struction, are being built from the new
material. 1t is confidently stated that
the new brick is beyond the expert
mental stage. AL that is needed to
make brick from Stag, is machine to
crush it, a machine to mix the product
with cement, and hydraulic press.
Stag brick does not require burning.
The Stag brick takes finish like
marble, is guaranteed not to warp, and
can be made in exact sizes. The nat
ural color is gray, but they can be made
any color, or size.
If the new brick should become a
marketable article, and be manufac-
tured by all the iron furnaces in this
section, the old clay brick might go
out of business in the iron manufacture
ing country. The Adrian Furnace,
when working full time, has waste
of large number of tons OF the Stag
each day, with necessary expense of
getting it out Of the way, while If the
new process is practical it would mean
the turning of a large amount of waste
into money making product, and the
establishment of new industry in this
section.

them and found that they had not the
slightest knowledge OF Jesus. Farther

and said 1t WANT no use." But l

AT another place man said: "If our
children don't know about religion they

hollow an old man told me that the
"Devil lived there" and when I came
to hold meetings he was there, but two
girls and young man found a Saviour,

What Is the American Sunday School
missionary? He is to-day what the
circuit rider was in the pioneer days
Of the country. He goes where the
influence of the organized church does
not reach. He is the forerunuer of the
church and OF organized christianity
and all that follows in its wake. With
out creed, without dogmatism, he
breaches the simplest and most primal
form of christianity and leaves the
preference Of denomination to the con-
science and reason of his hearers. He
is character as unique as useful in
modern society.
Joseph e. Kirkwood spent his boy
hood days in Reynoldsville and is we'll
known to many, but few know the real
nature of his work as a missionary of
the American Sunday School Union in
the counties of jefferson, Clearfield and
Clarion. The story Of his three and
half years labor in this cause, during
which he has travelled over sixteen
thousand miles through the toughest
and most inaccessible mountain dis
tricts Of Ohio and Pennsylvania, reads
like page from the history of the
noted pioneer circuit riders and reveals
the existence OF conditions all around
US but little suspected by dwellers with
