FIRST OPEN AIR CONCERT OF
THE SUMMER.
The Large Crowd Appreciative and
Applauding. -

The Farmville Silver Band gave a
delightful open-air concert on Friday
evening of last week in front of the
Methodist Church which attracted a
large and appreciative crowd AS
the Herald has before had occasion
to say, the place IS ideal for just
such performance the splendid
church building forming impressive
background for the picture the Nor.

front. he base Of the monument

sentinel as guardian, and the pla-

scholars making happy family Of
good listeners and responsive ones.
The band was at its best. and at
one time moved to silence with soft.
sweet strains, and then stirred to
quicker pulse beat with livelier airs.
On such occasions we have full
appreciation of the value of the
band as a local institution, a lib
eral and unselfish contributor to
our pleasures, and we should not
let die the determination then and
there formed to make generous re-
turn for all they do for us. Togeth-
er we can and should contribute to
suitable quarters for them.

which will embrace the month of
July, the pulpit of the Presby ter
ian Church will be occupied by Rev.
Mr. Anderson. of Oklahoma. Mr..
Anderson preached his first sermon
before that congregation on last
Sunday morning from Mathew 7-21.
Not every one that saith unto me.
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
Kingdom of heaven, but he that
doeth the will of my Father which
is In heaven" The preacher empha-
sized the fact that true religion is
not simply hearing respectfully. but
doing earnestly. 1t will not do to
say Lord, but to know Christ as a
personal Saviour. Preaching in his
name, nor the casting out of devils
Will avail at Gods bar, but the full
surrender, the faithful service.
Christ first demands the giving up
Of ourselves to him and then the
growing like himA And this is the
comforting assurance, that God is
unwilling that any should perish. A
gospel message plainly, earnestly
nd impressiyely spoken.
Union services were held at the
3aptist Church, and though a thun-
Ter storm threatened just at the
lOur of meeting, the attendance was
arge, but not so large as it would
lave been.
The pastor, Rev. H. NJ, Fugate,
reached the sermon and used as

MORE PAVING
TALK ABROAD

A letter from Arthur S. Clay, engi-
neer of the State highway department,
has again brought to the fore the mat
ter of paving with macadam the
stretch of road on East Market street
between Foust street and the borough
line, to which latter point the hospit-
al macadam extends.
1t will be remembered by those in
terested in the different paving prop
ositions ON East Market street, that
council endeavored TO secure State aid
in paving with brick the section be-
tween Cooks court and Foust street,
and with macadam from Foust street
on up to the borough line, but failed
owing to lack of funds in the high
way department. hands.
From Engineer Clay's letter, which
has just been received by Borough
Secretary Patton, it appears that while
the highway department finds itself
unable TO pave all the way from
Cooks court TO the borough line, it is
willing to undertake the section of
macadam at the upper end between
| FOust street and the borough line
Engineer Clay says: "Will you kind.
! ly advise me as soon as possible if the
borough of Danville intends to pro-
ceed, under State aid, with improving
Market street from Foust street to the
borough line. have held this matter
over as long as possible, and if imme-
diate action is not taken by the coun-
Gil, have been directed to proceed
with other work in order that the
money due Montour county will not
! revert to the general fund and thus be
lost to the said county for the i'm
provement of roads. "
1t is the probability that council
will act favorably on this proposition
at its next meeting on Friday, July
l5. The cost of the road would be ap.
proXimately $4,000, of which the coun-
ty and the borough would each pay
one-eighth, or $3.50.
As it is the policy of the State high.
way department to add to roads al
ready improved, instead of building
i'll separated places, the reconstruction
of the stretch between Foust street anG
the borough line, would likely have
the effect of inducing the department
to view favorably the paving witt
brick of the section between Cook,
court and Foust street, after the uex,
appropriation has been received.

RIVER COAL.

While the sights of the coal dredges
steaming down the river to the dredg-
ing grounds or into shore loaded after
the days work, is a familiar sight to
many, it is likely that very few peo-
pie have any idea of the quantity of
coal brought in. At the present time
there are in the fleet seven diggers.
The Forney Brothers operate two, A.
@. Amesbury two, P G.. Baylor one,
Francis Stetfin one, and William Lon
genberger one. The seat of the oper-
ations of all is at present between the
creeks mouth and Cameron. The beds
which were formerly up the river
have gradually changed their position
until now it is not profitable to work
above the bridge.
awhile the dredges are all doing fair
ly well, the business is not as good as
it might be. Indeed because of the
constant fall on the river and the alb
sonce of any freshet, to bring down a
fresh supply, the amount of coal dredg
ed daily is now but half that secured
in the early part of the summer. At
present fiat boat load is considered
good days work Previously it was
common thing for dredge to load
two boats per day.
When it is explained, however, that
each boat averages fifteen tons and
that there are seven boats or total
OF lO5 tons being brought to shore
every day, it will be seen that the
, business is sUill "A profitable one.
The greater bulk of the coal is what
is known as steam coal and CORES.

to the Structural Tubing company.
The owner of one of the dredges ex,
planned that now a great amount OF
unnecessary work is done in sitting
'Over the tailings" as the worked
over coal is called, in order to get coal
suitable in size for fuel A ten or
twelve foot raise at this time would
be very acceptable as it would bring
down new fields of coal over the pres
ent beds and make the dredging doub.
~ profitable.

Northumberland VIII Grow.

1t is reported at Northumberland
that officials of the Pennsylvania rail,
road predict that 5000 men will be
employed in the operation of the new
yards there and that when every part
is in operation five years hence three
times that number will be employed
in the yards or kindred work.
From this it is figured that North
umberland will have population of
40, 900 persons. In this event the bor-
ough fathers who many years ago gave
the town wide limits will be credited
with far sighted policy.

IN OPRATION

The Montour rolling mills depart
ment of the Reading Iron company re-
sumed operations Monday after a
weeks idleness. 1t is customary for
the mill to be shut down for a period
after July 4th for repairs, but the time
occupied is, as a rule, from two weeks
to month. The resumption then, aft

agreeable surprise to the men.

They are of concrete and are quite
