tbe well known undertakers ot
this place, have established a place
of business in Tyrone. Teinpor
srily tbey are-located at 1101
Lincoln avenue, in the office of
William Fuoss.
Mr. Fnoss has been engaged in
business in our town for a number
of years, first graduating trom the
Eckels college in Philadelphia, in
November, 1911, coming to Bellwood and serving two years witb
tbe late Albert MoFarland, entering into partnership with Mr. Me-

tbs death of Mr. McFarlmi I tn
1914 he succeeded to the business.

Snd in May, 1916, received his
state certificate. He hits since
been "right hand msn" to Mr.
Fuoss bere. Mr. Glass will bave

Prsfsrtf Owners Islsrsstsi is Psvug
Projsot Will Discuss Ssms
Public meeting will be held in
the council chamber next Mondsy
evening at 8 o'clock to discuss
the project ot paving Cambria
street on tbe Soutb side from tbe
intersection of Main etreet to tbe
corner of tbe Y. M. C. A. building, and from the north Bide of
the Cambria street bridge to
First street, north side.
The law requsres that public
notice be given in instances of
this kind and tbere should be a
full and free discussion by the-
property owners interested. It
needs but little argument
as to the necessity ofjthe pav
ing of this portion of our streets
It is frequently used and at Ibe
present season of the ye it is in
anything but a desirable'condition
The assent ot the property owners to tbe undertaking must first
be received and ju~tt what action
will be taken depends solely upon
what they desire.
Council is now in a progressive mood and if tbis present undertaking is successful it is likely
tbat other streets that are much
used will receive due attention in
course of time.1

Naming Ths Farm
The tendency on tne part of farmers in many sections of tbe country to name their farms is growing rapidly and we would like to
see the practice more generally
adopted here.
(Then, too, every farmer makes a
specialty  of some product.   He
has a special variety of seed wheat,
or corn, or otber vegetable seed to
sell. Posilbly he gives attentiqn to
breeding faucy cattle;   sheep or
hogs; or raises chickens for the
market. Then what could be more
appropriate   then  a neat catchy
letterhead setting forth tbat specialty and carrying also the name
of the farm? and why not an envelope with the name and return
address printed in tbe corner; to*
insure its safe return to tbe writer
er if it is improperly addresed; or
if tor any reason it might   go astray? Nothinig is more sensible.and
since the farming business is just
aa much  as business as any thing
else; why not conduct it in a business- like manner? Corns in snd
