Miner Hugh G McCrea Opens New Harness Store
Hugh G. McCrea, recently recovering from rheumatism, resumes work by opening a harness shop on Maline Street beside Hotel Gibbons and has already received several orders. Miss Kate Jeffers visited Moosle from Davis Street yesterday. The township school fund allows a nine month term this year, though directors plan to buy land for a new school building to replace the inaccessible No 1 structure. RR company objections may block the board’s plans, and cutbacks may leave only three months of tax-supported schooling if the township is divided.
