FLIES VERSUS HOG PENS.

Yes, swat the fly, and take his breath
Swat him till you cause his death
He's such al nasty little foe,
Lives in filth and dirt you know,
a scavenger Well give a prize
TO boy or girl who kills most flies
But when you kill the little devil,
BE sure and kill the greater evil
Don't stop at killing of this foe,
Be sure and make the hog pens 60
Yes, swat the fly. Don't let him live
Just take the life you can not give
Our health's in danger. On our pies
Well find the imprint Of the flies.
Our meat and bread, all things we eat
Polluted by his little feet
He herds around saloon and gutter
Then comes and walks upon our
butter,
But while you're killing off this YER
min
One thing you likewise should de-
termine.
Saloons must keep their cutters
Down which stale beer and filth is
rushed,
Where flies can find a place to gather
Enforce your laws, oh, city father.
Yes, swat the flies. Teach boys to
kill,
a premium give them if you will.
But what about the old pig pen?
They're money to our moneyed men
Don't drive away the precious swine
The smell Of hog pens is divine.
It's pleasant of summer evening,
TO breathe the air, which ''swells
to heaven"
Well soon get rid of flies, I know,
But tell US, will the hog pens 20?

LIGHTING PLANT FOR MI. AIRY
HagerstOWn Contractors Secure Fran
chise To Do Work.

Clyde I'll. Wilson and M. P. Irwin, Of
Hagerstown, under the name OF the
Wilson-Irvin Construction Co., have
secured a franchise from the Mayor
and Council, Of Mt Airy, granting
them permission to erect poles, string
wires, light the town and residences
of the municipality for a period OF
15 years. Tit il said work upon the
erection of a power house will start
very shortly. Messrs. Wilson and
Irwin agree to furnish five lights to a
house at a fat rate OF So per month,
and any additional lights, are to be
charged for at the rate of 30 cents per
month. 1t over 10 lights are used in
house, the charge is to be deter
mined by meter, at rates specified ln
the franchise.
While the proposed plant will have
the right to light the town, yet the
prices to be charged for lights is
matter that must BE- determined by
agreement between the power plant
and the town officials Mt Airy is a
town of about 500 inhabitants and
covers considerable territory. 1t is
expected that a large number Of
street lights will be needed. Tn ad-
dition to current for lighting it is the
intention of the company to sell cur
rent for commercial purposes. The
electricity will be generated either
by steam or by gas engine, a. the
gentlemen interested in the construc-
ton of the plant have both methods
under consideration. They also told
the Mayor and council that they
would in all probability install an ice
plant and furnish ice to the inhab-
itants Of Mt. Airy.
1t is said the plant will cost about
$4,000. Messrs. Wilson and Irwin
are expected in Mt. Airy this week to
secure a site and arrange other mat
tiers in connection with the plant.
They have announced that work Will
start i'm the very near future.

COMMITS SUICIDE in UNION
TOWN.
Simon Kelly Hangs Himself I'm The
Attic OF His Hime.

The residents of Uniontown and
vicinity were very much shocked TO
hear Of the suicide Of Simon Kelly
who hanged himself in the attic of his
residence i'm Uniontown on Tuesday
night.
Mr.. Kelly was in his 18th year and
had been living alone for the last two
months. Previous to that his sister
in-law, and her children lived in the
house with him, but they went to
Waynesboro, Pa, early in the spring
and it il thought by some of MIR. Kel-
ly's neighbors that his loneliness
might have preyed on his mind and
tempted him to the rash deed.
Late Tuesday night several men,
hearing a noise at the Kelly home,
and knowing that the old man was in
the house alone, feared something
was wrong. They forced an entrance
and found him in the attic, but were
too late to save his life.
Funeral services we're held at mi
residence yesterday afternoon, and in
terment was made in the Hill Gene
