The local coal dealers, after they were Informed of the possible reduc¬ tion on May 1st, 1930, reduced the retail price of coal in accordance with the anticipated rate on each grade. The new prices were adver¬ tised by them thru this paper at that time.

RED  MEN'S  ASSO. MEETING
On Tuesday evening Deputy Coun¬ cillor, Mrs. Agnes Bachman. of Al¬ lentown, Installed the following offlcers of the local Council, known as Whitfield Council. No 183, Dau¬ ghters of America: Councilor, Louise Wunderly: vice councilor, Emma Walter: associate councilor. Mary Smith: associate vice councilor, Leda Oswald: warden, Marj- Casey; con¬ ductor.

The flrst settlers of Nazareth emi¬ grated from a settlement founded in Oeorgia in 17M. They left the Oeorgia colony because of calamity, as fever or war had practically wiped out the settlement or made it untefe to remain. Shortly before that time Peter Bayler and Anthony Wagner, who were associated with Whltneld, purchased a large tract of land at the forks of the Delaware River from kinsfolk of William I%hn, who or¬ iginally had of course purchased the entire section from the Indian tribes. Part of the tract purchased Included the present site of the borough of Nazareth. David Zles- berger, as a boy of sixteen, came here and was reared in ah old log house in front of the present site of the Whitfleld House. In 1744 there were thirty three couples married at practically the same time In Ger¬ many who emigrated to America and { Nazareth. They occupied the Whit¬ field House for sometime and later settled upon farms which they clear-1 ed In the imniediate vicinity. |
In addition to farming some of them established grist mills and es¬ tablished other businesses and made definite steps in preparing to making a living in this strange land. In n.so the Single Brethren founded a school and home to train artisans of various trades such as shoemakers. carpenters, brewers and farmers This school was located on the site
by the Indians many signs were ob¬ served in the nearby forests where the Redskins lurked and watched the actions of those in the settlement.
In 1753-1736 a great Influx of re¬ fugees settled in Nazareth due to the outbreaking of the French and In-' dian War. Up to 1871 the Whitfleld house had a very romantic hisu>r.v and since that time It has bean a historical museum containing a won¬ derful and Interesting collection of Indian weapons and books of great historical value as well as a section of it serving as a home for retired ministers.
Summing up In a brief manner the early history of Nazareth the speaker stated that the borough owed Its present growth and prosperity to the farsightedness and vision of those early pioneers who placed their spiritual welfare above their material welfare and endured pri¬ vations and hardships for a ca'ise that we all e-steem.
Rev.   Shultz received   a vote   of thanks for his  interesting address. and Rev. Shultz then stated that the' public was invited to view thes? ex-1 hibits in the museum. i
