Prospects push teen smoking bill to September postponement
Republicans have sidelined legislation to curb teen smoking at least until September amid internal debate and doubts about the measure. Speaker Gingrich had said an anti-smoking bill would pass by the August recess, but many Republicans now question its viability and comfort with the bill’s content. Democrats say tobacco influence is shaping the delay as GOP leaders plan to revisit in September.

Lower rates boost Mercer County home sales in 1997 rise
Mercer County saw 82 homes sold in the first six months of 1997 with an average price of 81 696, while 85 homes sold during the same period this year with average prices rising to 92 209. Real estate professionals credit lower rates for increased buyer purchasing power and activity. Strong demand in the 80 000 to 110 000 range reflects limited supply and a buyer's market driven by favorable financing and local relocations.
