Patrick J. Mannion, the genial
and obliging clerk at the Harrison
house, Carbondale, has resigned his
position to accept a more lucrative
one with Frank p. Grown. He will

former hotelkeeper of Pleasant
Mount.

Milford streets never were in
better or more satisfactory condition.
They were prepared before the oil
was applied, it was judiciously
spread, and the result is no dust and
hard, smooth roadway. The coun-
ell merits the thanks of the public,
and the V. l. A. is also included for
its generosity, for this excellent con-
dition. The side streets also will be
treated and practically the whole
town will be dustless.-Pike County
Press.
The friends, and they are nu-
merous, of a successful salesman in
town announce that on a recent
Sunday he drove over to Callicoon,
n. Y, in a smart livery rig with
red wheels and rubber tires, only to
find his petticoat partner of previous
outings had married since last time.
He says it is a grave mistake to sup
pose the roses never bloom but once,
and that he will get another charmer
somewhere, in Callicoon or another
town.

lea when a young woman. After re-
siding a short time in Hawley she
moved to Olyphant, where she had
resided ever since. She was a kind
ly Christian woman and was held in
the highest esteem by everyone.
Only eight weeks ago she buried her
son, Jail Warden John McAndrew.
Two daughters, Mrs. Mary Dietrich
and Miss Nellie McAndrew, and one
son, Michael McAndrew, survive her.
The man who wrestles with the
COW and learns the calves to suck,
who casts the corn before the swine,
is now in the greatest luck, for but
ter's on the upper grade, veal's
higher than kite, pork is climbing
up the scale and beef is out of sight I;
eggs he gathers every day from his
Poland chicken coop are almost
worth their weight in gold and we
are in the soup. His corn brings
him a fancy price, it's rising every
day and he rakes in all kinds OF
men for a half load of hay. The
farmer is in the saddle and when
he comes to town the rest of us by
right should go way back and sit
down.
The latest smallpox victim in
the Mid-Valley district is
Arthur Thomas, son of Thomas r
Thomas of Gravity street, Olyphant
The Thomas residence has been
placed under quarantine. The case
has been reported to DR.. j. c. Riff
snyder and is being attended by DR.
r. ]. Lloyd and DR.. w. w. Jenkins
The origin of the case was traced
to visit young Thomas paid to his
brother in Jermyn. Soon after the
visit the older brother was found to
be smallpox victim, but he is better
now. 1t is only a slight attack, and
no great danger is feared. There
is only one case under quarantine
in Dickson City. Alfred Hawk, the
victim, is progressing nicely.

benches of concrete that can't be
smashed or whitfield. 1t is intended
to have at least a dozen of them as
an experiment, and more If they
fill the bill. Two benches at the
golf grounds were broken and some
in Riverside and Central parks got
the same medicine from occupants
who did not know enough to take
as good care of public property as
they would of their own. All the
benches in Central park have been
whitfield more or less and rowdieS
