After its completion, all tlie crews now working in, and out of. riath Junction yard, will work in. and out of, the new yard. At Iho present time most of the memliers of these crews, and their famillHs, live at IJath. The new yard Iteing located just as conveniently to Nazareth as to Ilath, it is expected that In a short time ail of the em¬ ployes working in this yard will locate at Nazareth witli tlie excep¬ tion of a few who own their homes at other places. A new freight olBce, new freight house and other increased and improved facilities are also being considered for Nazareth, to re¬ place th« present facilities which the business and present day re¬ quirements have outgrown. It is expected that these Improvements win also be eommeaced within tbe next year, and. whea made, will also require aa aapendlturea ot large anms ot aoaey. What is Naxareth going to 4o 'n regards to building homes for this opportunity? It we want to take care ot tbo families that will event¬ ually move to town and we offer no inducement by building new homaa the result will maan aa other blaek eye (or the borough. It la act a question ot money at all. Our banka aro always ready to co-operate In any good project which will help the town. Let the buslnesa and real estate men of Natareth get busy and erect homes and take advantoge ot the oppor¬ tunity now knocking at their door. Never In the history of Nazareth was there presented opportunities for expansion In home building as there Is now. Build a home, buy a home and lie at home in Nazareth.

The truck had been loaded and he was driving away from the pit di¬ rectly into the path of tlie swiftly- moving locomotive and was struck midway. The place wehre the ac¬ cident occurred is considered dan¬ gerous. The hlind crossing to- Kcther with the great noise made by the brick manufacturing ma¬ chinery makes necessary travel hazardous and he evidently did not hear the shrill whistle of the approaching train. Little is known about Kulizzak other than he was unmarried and had been living In and around Northampton. He was 60 years old and a Slav by birth.

The name, Tadmor, has been given to the new yard; the name of an ancient city la an oasiit of tlio Syrian Desert, mention of which is made in I Kins i\. \^. aud 11 Chronicles vill. 4.
After its completion, all tlie crews now working in, and out of. riath Junction yard, will work in. and out of, the new yard. At Iho present time most of the memliers of these crews, and their famillHs, live at IJath. The new yard Iteing located just as conveniently to Nazareth as to Ilath, it is expected that In a short time ail of the em¬ ployes working in this yard will locate at Nazareth witli tlie excep¬ tion of a few who own their homes at other places.
A new freight olBce, new freight house and other increased and improved facilities are also being considered for Nazareth, to re¬ place th« present facilities which the business and present day re¬ quirements have outgrown. It is expected that these Improvements win also be eommeaced within tbe next year, and. whea made, will also require aa aapendlturea ot large anms ot aoaey.
What is Naxareth going to 4o 'n regards to building homes for this opportunity? It we want to take care ot tbo families that will event¬ ually move to town and we offer no inducement by building new homaa the result will maan aa other blaek eye (or the borough.
It la act a question ot money at all. Our banka aro always ready to co-operate In any good project which will help the town. Let the buslnesa and real estate men of Natareth get busy and erect homes and take advantoge ot the oppor¬ tunity now knocking at their door. Never In the history of Nazareth was there presented opportunities for expansion In home building as there Is now.
Build a home, buy a home and lie at home in Nazareth.
