SAMUEL E. BASEHORE, Attorney for Petitoner. Republican says: "A tentative call to the new $200,000 Congregational Church at St. Petersburg, Fla, recently came to Rev. Willis K.

Williams, of the local Congregational Church, it became known today, but as he refused to consider a change at this time a definite call was not extended. Asked today about the call, Rev. Mr. Williams said a tentative proposal had been made but when he refused to consider a change, no official action was taken by the St. Petersburg church.

Mr. Williams said he had been pastor of the local church only a year and a half and felt he could not conscientiously consider any change. His church relations here have been very pleasant and he has made many warm friends in and out of the church and any offer, although in the nature of advancement, would not now be tempting. The St. Petersburg church pays $6000 salary.

Mr. Williams is a son of Mrs. Willis W. Williams, WILL TRY ONE-MAN CARS Valley Railways To Inaugurate System In Lower End One man trolley car service will be established in the near future on the White Hill line of the Valley Railways Company. Announcement of this proposed change in service was made by J.

0. Senseman, superintendent of transportation of the West Shore company. This new White Hill service will be conducted as an experiment to determine whether one man cars may be operated on other lines, thus bringing about a saving in operating costs. Officials believe such a service might be feasible on the Camp Hill, Enola, New Cumberland and other one zone lines. It had been rumored that the Hill cars would operate on a half hour schedule under the new plan but Senseman said that the present onehour schedule would be maintained.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT third time weeks For the in two the Messenger came into the Home Department of the First Presbyterian Sabbath School, and took three faithful and loyal members, Miss Ida Greason, Mrs. John Weaver, and Isaac Wilson, to be forever with the Lord; therefore, be Resolved, That while we sympathize with the families and friends of these patient Christian sufferers, we rejoice that we, who miss them, now have the blessed hope of the reunion in that home where sorrow never comes, and where their joys are forever full; therefore, be it Resolved, That we be more diligent in our work and more deeply in earnest for those whom we should help; therefore, be it Resolved, That a copy of these resobe recorded on our roll, and copy sent to each family of those we miss. Why should our tears in sorrow, flow? When God recalls His own; And bids them leave this world woe, For an immortal crown. Their journey o'er, their work is done, God has recalled His own; But let our hearts trusting, Still say, "Thy Will Be Done." COMMITTEE FORESTS NO PASTURAGE State College, Jan. the spring pasturing season opens, farmers who own woods will do well to profit by the experience of M.

H. Whitney, North Jackson farmer, in Susquehanna County. Upon the advice of a forester, Whitney fenced off his Woodland last spring, according to the story as told by F. T. Murphy, forestry extension specialist of State College.

After the short period of one growing season he has noticed a change taking place in his woods. Young trees of practically all species are beginning to cover the ground. Before, when he pastured the woodland, young trees were almost absent due to the browsing and tramping of stock. YOUNG BLOOD How 1. Keep Feeling Young and Vigorous at Nearly.

Revolution, Died January 13, 1832 Jones REFUSES $12,000 BOOTLEG CONTRACT Chambersburg Drayman Reveals "Attractive" Offer Chambersburg, Jan.

D. Murray, Lincoln Way West drayman, had an excellent opportunity to make quick and big pronts in rum running recently, but quickly dispelled any hope in the minds of the booze brokers that he was that kind of a drayman. Murray, driving his large moving van, took a load of household goods to Cape N. J. While ray was making settlement for moving the goods, one of his helpers, Frank McGee, was approached a stranger at Cape May.

The stranger made it known that he wanted to ship a load or liquor in the Murray truck. He asked how much the truck was valued at and, upon being informed, made the following proposition: "I'll give you $6,800 cash for your car and $2 a quart for hauling 6,000 quarts of liquor. If you get caught, you'll have enough money a new truck and we'll lose the liquor; if you don't, you'll have the $6,800 and the $12,000 besides upon delivery of the liquor." Asked where the liquor was to be taken, the bootlegger refused to di-! vulge this information, saying that would be revealed after the contract for hauling had been made. The Murray employe told his em-1 ployer of the proposition, but the drayman didn't bite on the rather luscious bait thrown out by the bootlegger. "It's good I didn't too," said Murray, "for we were just eight miles out of Cape May when we were overtaken by State police.

The officers said we were suspected of hauling liquor and I invited them to search my truck, which they did, and, of course, found nothing." HALF PORKER PER IS ANNUAL CONSUMPTION Washington, D.

Thomas Craig, colonel in the Revolution, major general of Pennsylvania militia and distinguished citizen, was born in Allen Township, Bucks County, now Northampton County. Pennsylvania, October 26, 1739, and died in Allentown, January 13, 1832, being past 92 years of age.

The Craig family are descended from William Craig, of Stirlingshire, Scotland, who sought refuge in Dungannon, Ireland. and whose sons and daughters afterwards emigrated to America. One of the sons, Daniel, settled in Warrington Township, Bucks County, and his son, Thomas became a captain at the "Flying Camp' during the Revolution. Another son, Thomas, his brother, William, their sister, Jane and her husband John Boyd, accompanied by the father of the Craigs, went from Philadelphia, in 1728, to the Forks of the Delaware and settled at the springs of Caladaque Creek, about four miles from the present borough of Bath in East Allen Township, Northampton County. During the next few years they joined by a number of other Scotch families.

At first this settlement was well known as "Craig Settlement," but later it became known as "the Irish Settlement," and for many years Thomas Craig, William Craig, and Hugh Wilson were the most influential there. Thomas Craig, had two sons, William and Thomas, former was the first sheriff of Northampton County, in 1752, and Thomas, who married Mary Wright, and died in 1746, was the father of General Thomas Craig. General Craig spent his youth on the homestead, where he received his education. As early as 1769 he was known as "Captain" Craig, during the Wyoming controversy, in which he played a conspicuous part as an officer in the interest of the Proprietaries. At the outbreak of the Revolution he was engaged in farming and early entered the army and rendered valuable service in the struggle for inde pendence.

On January 5, 1776, he was commissioned captain in Colonel Arthur St. Clair's, battalion, which experienced strenuous service in the Canadian campaign under General Benedict Arnold. On September 7, 1776, he was promoted lieutenant colonel and, year later, to colonel of the Third Pennsylvania Regiment. With this command he. participated in the Battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth.

In the latter action his regiment distinguished itself, being in the thickest part of the engagement. Colonel Craig was at Valley Forge during the winter of 1777-78, and.it was to him that Lydia Darrah gave the information of Howe's intended attack the American troops. at White Marsh. Colonel Craig conveyed the intelligence to General Washington, who had time to put in motion every possible preparation to baffle the mediated surprise. Colonel Craig served throughout the war and was present at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, at Yorkto town, "served and, faithfully to use from his the own commence- words: ment of the late war to the end of it." In July, 1783, he retired from the army and returned to his home in Northampton County, and was immediately made County Lieutenant.

In 1784 Colonel Craig was commissioned associate judge, clerk of the courts, and recorder of Montgomery County, which office he held until 1789 when he returned Northampton County, settling. in the vicinity of Stemlersville, (now Carbon County). In 1798 he was commissioned majorgeneral of the Seventh Division, Pennsylvania Militia, which position he held until 1814. General Craig was married, prior to 1770 to Catherine, daughter of John Hagenback. They were the parents of three sons and three daughters.

Descendents of these children are among the most prominent citizens of the Lehigh Valley, During the last years of the life of General Craig he resided with a daughter, Mrs. Kramer, at Allentown, where January 13, 1832. The distinguished veteran was buried with military and Masonic honors. The: body was borne to its. resting place in.

a great procession and the funeral oration was delivered by Rev. Joshua Yeager, of the Lutheran Church. His remains were quently reinterred in Fairview Cemetery, Allentown. Colonel John' Graig, of the Pennsylvania Infantry in the Civil War, was a grandson. The late Hon.

Allen Craig, of Mauch Chunk, lawyer and statesman, was also a grandson. Today's Birthday Anniversaries 1713-Anthony Benezet born in St. Quentin, France. Noted philanthropist and resident of Philadelphia. Lied May 3, 1784.
