8IP FROM THE PEN OF OUR COIt-
KE8P0NOBNT AT THE COUNTY
SEAT.
Norristown, May 2, 1901
Editor Charles E. Meredith Covered
himself with glory at the Perkssle
Convention, lie more than redeemed
the promise he had given the Con-ferees
meeting at the Hlngham House
Philadelphia, last Spring when he
urged that place for the District Con-vention.
All details for the reception
or the lamja gatacrlag were minutely
exact. Editor Meredith made himself
an ideal host. I'erkasle looked fresh
and charming after the heavy Bunday
rails, which came as a face wash for
Hie OCeaSlOB. The houses of the town
are mostly brick, separately built, In
the middle of lots well back from the
street line. There are apparently m,
poor quarters to the place, for a bum
up ramble reveals all parts of the
town equally prosperous. The sum of
$4500 paid out weekly on the pay rolls
of the cigar factories, the principal
industry, is a nlee addition to the in-comes
of the thrlftly retired farmers
who with the cigar makers, constitute
the backbone and ribs of Perkssle
The evenings of the clgarmakers are
more beneficial to the town than the
Investment of wealth to the former
capitalists. The workers are so ac-customed
to rolling cigars all week
that they let considerable of the 146*0
roll into trade between pay day and
Monday morning. Thus Perkssle is
humming. While It has a reserve
force that will n^ver experience want
in an adverse occasion. The town has
lots of musical organizations and
pretty girls. Both were in evidence
U) add to the other charms of the in-viting
borough. The hotels all appear
to be patronized by we'll to do refined
persons. The towu's editor is well
domiciled domestically and profession1
ally. Everything appears all right,
with an Ins-lector's tab on each por-tion.,
but. for goodness sake I'erkasle
can't you haul down the broken ruins
of a locomotive wheel, which the lire
company uses as an alarm bell. What-ever
its tonal qualities, as a resonant
tire .uinriu.ii.-i-. "swell matter, pull It
down, throw It on the Junk heap and
buy something artistic to keep In ac-cord
with perfect Perkasie. This com-mission
I put on Editor Meredith to
effect. Why Miles Stemple, of Con-sbohocken

plans because of their nnvopularlty.
It was decided to have the assessors
make a heavier valuations on prop-erties.
