Not long since five or six hogs were thrown into the Sandy Lick near the place where the two were found making so much noise, stinkatively speaking.

Accept Our Thanks. The exchanges that como to this office have given very complimentary notices of the bright, newsy, and neat typographical apiearanoo of The STAR, and not only our newspaper brethren, but many tieoplo of Roynoldsvlllo and lsewliero have kind words to say for the twinkling Infant in newapaperdom. 'or tho words of praise we are very grateful, and will endeavor to keep apace with tho times that wo may always merit the distinction of being orthy a place among our oxchnngQS, and that tho jx-oplo of Roynoldsvlllo and icinlty may appreciate The Star to tho extent of a years' sulwcription. FoimI given to a hungry man, with words of sympathy and encouragement, an apH'aso the cravings of an appe tite where words of sympathy would lie no account, so words of praise ainrom- pniiied with an order forayears'sulwerip-tlon, advertisement, or job work will go farther In a newspaper office In fact touch the vitality of the office ban wards alone for thoy aro "as sound ing brass or a tinkling symbol." Tho BtiWrlption list is growing. Wo have stiliscriliers at Washington, 1).

Brooklyn, N. Niagara Falls and Springfield, Mo. Wo again say wo are thankful to our exchanges and friends for their praise and encouragement. Oct the Western Spirit. One of tho noeossary moans adapted to the welfare of a town is local prldo aud zeal.

Boston has tho reputation of being the universe, "but every resident of every town and city should consider his own particular homo tho hub." It Is especially true of the west that local pride builds up the new places and sustains the old. Roynoldsvllle should bo txthlnd no town In this respect. Fow places have a larger possi bility of growth and prosperity than does our town. We ought to look to the future as well as the present in making plans for building up the interests of Roynoldsvlllo. The proper pride and enterprise on tho part of our pooplo would add largely to our population in the immediate future.

Lot no town lead us In matters of improvement, let no town load us in efforts to give employment to labor and oulld up homo industry I Let us get tho breezy, progressive wostern spirit and thou, though Royuoldsvlllu may not be tho "hub of tho unlvorso," we will rejoice in being, figuratively speaking, tho felloe; for through wo may refuse to bollovo that "tho sun do move," we may discover that we do niovo in the right direction on in growth and success, towards the goal of our fondest desires. Where Shall it Be Tho location of school building is before the school board and as all tho pooplo aro, or should bo, Interest ed, thoy should now havo their say and then hold their peaco. The old Sandy Lick property Is ono location spoken of, tho Logan property, back of tho Catholic church, is another, Wo would venture a wagor that eight' tenths of the tax payers would say lot us have the present location with its disadvantages to either of the proposed ones with their miasmatic surroundings. To tho south of those tho town cannot extend on account of swamp and water To tho north of the present location every advantago Is now open for build lng with tho very important ono of good drainage. It should only be noeossary to cite the taxpayers to tho extra cost in buying a now location within a stones threw of the ono thoy have.

If the people say change, so be It. IJITIZEN. A Competent Judge. Hon. W.

O. Smith, editor of the Punx- sutawnoy Spirit, and candidate for sec ond term to the Legislature, in noticing the appearance of THE STAR, gives expression to the following in regard to the benefits a town derives from a news paper.

Ho has travoled through Euroe and other countries.

This distinguished gentleman came oin Philadelphia as a representative of a large Presbyterian church in the Ity of Brotherly Ijovo, for tho ex press purposo of hearing Rev. H. O. urbay, pastor of tho Presbyterian church of Reynoldsville preach, and In vestigate the standing of the reverend gentleman with a view of giving him a call as pastor of thoir church. Dr.

He has the ability to fill a city pulpit.

Merchants' Protective Association. Twenty-five business mon of Reynolds ville aro members of tho Merchants' 'rotectivo Association. This associa tion was organized just recently and meets tho second Tuesday evening of each month. The object of this organ ization is to protect the merchants from that class of pooplo who buy and never pay, or, in other words, "professional dead beats." The names of those who refuse to pay thoir acount are sent Into the association and tho delinquents are notified by tho association to call and sottlo tho amount or mnko satisfactory arrangements for the settlement of tho same. This notice Is repeated several times and if no attention Is paid to it then the name of the non-payer is placed on the black list which is Issued every sixty days and a copy sent to each member of tho association.

Thus each business man Is mado acquainted with those who refuso to pay thoir bills. A penalty of twenty dollars Is imposed upon any momborof the association who gives such persons credit. Whon a man asks for credit the merchant gets his list, looks It over and If the name of the one who seeks credit appear thereon, ho is informed that the list of creditors of that establishment is as long as they wish to make it, hence no credit is granted to fellow who will not pay. If all Roynoldsvlllo merchants wore to join this association tho "professional dead beats" would be' driven out of the town and business mon bo mora successful and costomers buy thoir goods for loss money.

Last Thursday evening a party num bering thirty-five, composed of the ladles of the Utopia Circle and their husbands and a few friends, enjoyed an exceedingly pleasnnt excursion through the Big Soldier Mino, threo miles from Reynoldsvillo. The excursion was given by Mr.

and Mrs. F. M. Brown In honor of Mr. and Mrs.

Arthur Elliott, of Mansfield, who are thoir guests. At an engine and coach on tho R. F. C. R.

R. was In waiting for the ex cursionists at tho Company store, and a fow minutes after that hour the Iron horse was speeding along towards tho mines. On arriving at Big Soldier there tho party found nine coal cars thnt had boon lined with new boards, with throe sonts In each car, divided Into three sections, two long cared animals attached to each section, ready for tho trip "underneath the ground." A dls- ance of feet In tho mine was reached without any mishap, but a few narrow esea)xs by those who wore a little tardy about olxylng tho command "down heads!" Supt. Geo. Mellinger.

lvil Englnoer F. M. Brown and assis tant, R. V. Pratt, and Mino Boss.

Richard Smith, were with tho party and acted as guides. Tho party left the coal mino coaches and walked some distance to seo the iron-man, the old Harrison mining machine, digging coal. This machlno Is operated by one man and ro- elves its strength from compressed air that is piped Into the mino for power. rem that point tho party retraced their short walk and crossed tho main entrance and visited a largo pump used to koep tho water out of the mine, which also receives its jxiwer from the com- prossod air. This pump was doing oublo service, forcing the water out of the mine and manufacterlng ice at the samo time, on a small scale.

Some of the fair sex wore vory timid. One of tho ladys In going through a room was afraid to touch one of the props, fearing tho hill would fall upon tho party. The outward trip was mado, no one being any the worse for the exploration of the mino, barring the difficulty somo found in getting the kinks out of thoir necks. Tho party then visited the large englno that keeps tho in the mine filled with compressed air and that keeps tho largo fans In rapid motion to furnish ventilation necessary for the men who work in tho mine. Tho engine and coach started on tho homeward trip with tho excursionists.

Mr. aud Mrs. Brown had not forgotten the old saying, 'The way to peoplo's hearts I find, is through their mouths, or I mistake mankind," for a supply of fruit had boon provided and was passed around. Arriving at the company store thoy then visited the general office of the company and were shown some of the mups of the Company's mines and lands. Tho largest map was a master piece of civil engineer work that had boon dono by F.

M. Brown. This map alone cost something over $2,000. It was In the civil engineer's office that a mischief-maker conceived tho idea of rubbing his dirty fingers across the face of a lady who was standing near him. The party up to this time were compar atively clean, but after tho first black mark was made the greasy end of a mino lamp was frequently touched by fair fingors and a lively time ensued and a dirty looking crowd left the office, Those who had chargoof the excursion viod with ouch other In trying to make the trip an enjoyable one.

All returned to their homes with expression of thankfulness to Mr. and Mrs. Brown for the pleasant evening and pleasure of such a trip. Last Sad Rites. The funeral services of John Bone were held in the M.

E. church Thursday afternoon and the seating capacity of the building was not sufficient to accommo date all who desired toiemain for the services, and a number were compelled to stand. Rev. W. P.

The floral contributions were beauti ful, and were formed int ja cross and pll low. Tho cross was presented by Will H. Bell, of this place, and the pillow was a token of the esteem and love of a num ber of DuBois friends of the deceased, The mines were all closed to give the men an opportunity to follow the re mains of a fellow laborer to thoir last resting place. This young man who was so suddenly called upon to try the realities of the vast eternal world, was soon to be married to Miss Emma Leo, of Durham, Washington. Only One New Building.
