EVERYTHING IN READINESS FOR
THE COMING OF THE TEACHERS
TO THE annual COUNTY INSTITUTE

On the eve of the fifty-fifth annual
Jefferson county teachers institute, which
will be held in the Adelphi Theater in
Reynoldsville, everything looks promising
for week that win eclipse all previous
experiences of the teachers, both In the
way of instruction and entertainments
The program of the institute was pub
lished in full last week, and there remains
only the need OF again calling the attention
of the people Of the town and county to
the exceptional merit of the evening en-
tertainers and the free lecture Of DR..
Charles Calvert Ellis on Monday after
noon.
In the Hihshaw Grand Opera Company
the Monday evening entertainment, the
local people will have an opportunity to
hear grand opara rendered by artists who
are stars even in metropolitan theatres.
William Wade Hinshaw ranks among the
premier vocalists of the world and is sup
ported by company that is little below
him in reputation. This one entertain
ment alone is worth the price of admission
asked for all four.
Tuesday evening. December Goth, Ex-
Governor Glenn, of North Carolina, will
speak Glenn is one Of the past masters
of oratory and has spoken on Chautauqua
platforms all over the United States. He
has been heard in this section before and
is known as one of the biggest and
brainest public speakers of the day.
Wednesday evening there will be a
novel concert by the International Girls.
This concert company is composed Of
talented musicians of all nationalities
and will render program that is not
only unique but excellent in every detail.
In the person of Ex-Governor Hoch, of
Kansas, the people of tho United States
recognize man of presidential calibre.
He is not only an orator, but deep
thinker and fighter who is bending his
whole life to the struggle Of right
against might. He is listened to by
crowded houses wherever he appears,
and from the advance requests already
in for single admissions to hear his
lecture, it looks as though the Adelphi
would hold its largest crowd on the
night of his appearance.
The lecture of DIR. Ellis Monday after
noon will be a treat. 1t is customary to
give one free lecture at the opening and
the people of Reynoldsville will loose
nothing by taking an hour off to hear
him deliver his address on Being a

Hope Fire Co.
Is DiSbanded
By Council

The trouble which has been brewing for
some tiIhe between the local council and
Hope Fire Company came to head at the
last meeting of the first named body, and
now, by decree of council, Hope Fire
Company is out of existence.
The action of council and the stated
reason therefor is best given in the
official notice which appears above.
Several times during the past year council
has discussed the fact that Hope Fire
Company no longer turned out to the fires
in a body, as they once did, and it was
represented to them that there has been no
meeting Of the company for some time.
The feeling that action Of some sort was
demanded reached a climax on the morning
Of the Ferris fire, when, 1t is claimed,
there was not a single member of the
lower company present to help fight the
flames
In taking the action it did, council had no
wish to take part in any factional feeling
that may or may not exist inside the
company, but is actuated solely by desire
to afford better protection to the property
of Reynoldsville, which now has valu-
alton of about one million dollars. 1t
recognizes the fact that the Hope Fire
Company was q purely volunteer organiza-
tion, and that in past years it was one of
the finest fire fighting bodies in Western
Pennsylvania rendering service and taking
Individual risk at fires which deserved
higher reward than it was ever possible to
give the members. The interference row
in the affairs Of the company is actuated
by the belief that it is no longerupossible
for the various factions that are said to
exist inside the company to get together,
and that the hand of neutral body is
needed to consolidate them again for
future work
For the sake of Reynoldsville and the
fire company, it is to be hoped that an
amicable understanding may be reached,
and that all the old members will cooperate
with council In rehabilitating the company
The infusion Of new blood will put new
life in the company, and the experience of
the old members is essential to successful
work during the fires. There is too much
property at stake in Reynoldsville to
permit the continuation Of situation
which leaves one-half the town without
sufficient fire protection.

time it will be given under the auspices

ceeds will be given to the family Of J. C.

duction success. The play itself is

GROUND WAS broken monday FOR
THE FOUNDATION OF THE ANNEX

The capacity of the Sykes Woolen Mill
Company's plant in Reynoldsville will be
almost doubled within the next six
months.
This announcement, which means so
much to the industrial situation in Reyn-
oldsville, is authorized by ID. Wheeler,
president of the concern, under whose able
management the plant has had such
wonderful success in the last few years.
The record of this plant has been one of
continuous expansion since it was built
by George w. Sykes ten years ago.
Scarcely year has passed that was not
marked by the erection Of new buildings
and the installation of new machinery.
The year 1911 will be the greatest in
its history, not only the output will be
greater far than ever before, but the main
structure will be doubled in size, expensive
new machinery will be installed, and the
number of employees will be increased.
Work on the proposed new addition will
go forward Immediately Henry A. Swab,
the contractor, staked off the foundation
lines last week, and arrangements for
material are now being made. BY spring
it is expected that the new addition, "a S6
feet in dimension, will be under roof and
the machinery here ready to be installed.
The annex will be constructed like the
present building, one story high and will
be of brick and concrete. The mill is
practically fireproof and its low construc-
tion has been praised by visiting manu-
facturers as being the best and most
economical known.
The new section will be devoted to the
carding and spinning departments and
greater output from these machines will
enable the management to increase the
capacity of every other department of the
mill
George w. Kline will do the concrete
work on the mill, both for foundations and
floor and started on the former this week
