PUNXSUTAWNEY SPIRIT
MOVES TO NEW HOME
Now Occupies the Only Sky
scraper in the County.

The Punysutawney Spirit, one of the
best country dailies published In West
ern Pennsylvania, has only been four
pages, instead of six, the past couple
of days on account of the fact that the
newspaper office has been moved into
new seven-story building erected by the
Spirit Publishing Co. and it takes some
time to take down and set up the
presses and get them adjusted to the
new location. The new home of the
Spirit Is one of the most imposing
structures in Punxsutawney, in fact it
Is the only "sky-scraper" In this Sec
tion. We congratulate the Spirit Co.
on being able to move into such fine
home, and the citizens of Punxsu-
tawney should appreciate the efforts
Of the Spirit Co. to give that town
good daily and newspaper building
which the citizens can be proud of.
The liberal support of the merchants
and business men in general of Punxsu-
tawney made it possible for Messrs.
w. o. Smith and John P. Wilson to
erect such a magnificent seven-story
building in that town.

] Miriads of pigeons have for the Iast

 amply rewarded for the quest.

 Ollie Simpson and Lafe Gibson, three

 The outing was not without incl dent. The trio was treated to a su- perb but unsought shower bath when the heavens opened up and 6 gener- ous precipitation kept them awake the entire night, when next morning they started for Tombstone. When within ten miles of the city a minia- ture electrical phenomena enveloped the hunters and for more than an hour did this panoramic wonder hold them entrsnced while the lightning rolled m waves about their feet and pesls of thunder served as an encore to bid the fantastic flame upon the stage and further the Nimrods, who sat mo- awaiting the next call of the Prompter.
