Montrose – Negotiations are now under way between W. A. Welliver, who has successfully conducted the C-NicTheatre, and the executors of the T. J. Davies estate, which owns a fine building lot adjoining the post office building, for the purchase of the lot. Mr. Welliver proposes to erect a modern building on the site and will locate a theatre on the first floor, with a seating capacity of from 400 to 500. It will be built to accommodate the moving picture shows, but vaudeville and other performances as well, stage, drop curtain, wings loft, etc., together with dressing rooms. ALSO The Montrose Buffaloes were defeated by the strong Dunmore foot ball team Saturday by the score of 7-0. The Montrose team played an excellent game, showing a much better form than in the game with Susquehanna. The people are asked to support the town team by their presence at the future games, and it is hoped that Montrose will have a team to be proud of.

New Milford – Willis Cobb is a wide-awake dairyman, but until about a year ago $10 was a fair price for him to get for a calf. Last year he and two of his neighbors bought a bull for $600 and joined a bull association. Mr. Cobb’s share of this expense was $200 and the three of them only have one bull to feed now. Just a few weeks ago Mr. Cobb sold a grade calf for $25, which was sired by his new bull, and he has refused $150 for a nice purebred heifer calf by this same sire. Mr. Cobb will receive good returns on his investment the first year and he will have the use of four bulls for eight years without any further cost to him. A bull association can do the same for you as it did for Mr. Cobb. ALSO The new silk mill will commence work in a small way next Monday. Only a few girls will be hired as it would be impossible to instruct a large number at a time. Girls who desire work are requested to report to the mill Saturday, when Superintendent Greene will hire those he needs and explain the company’s plan. New girls will be hired as needed until the mill is working to its capacity.

After receipts of $1700 this year, putting the Association on a solid financial foundation, the loyal supporters need the help of others, because no fair will run itself.

News Brief: The right of a woman to hold a county office is denied by Judge George A. Baldwin, of Beaver county, in what was said to be the first decision of the kind in Pennsylvania. The Judge said he had nothing to guide him except common law and he summarized the common law ineligibility of women to hold office as a government function. “The law is that one who does not have the power to choose does not have the right to be chosen,” he said. The judge suggests legislation, but says the court has no power to legislate.
