Rashly importunate,
Gone more -

Rashly importunate,
Gone--and got married p
Well, we presume it is all right-in fact,
we know it is. And such being the case,
we herewith tender the happy couple our
congratulations. May their present hap
piness never pail upon the sense; may
their future be brilliant and unclouded !;
and may they live to see their children's
children rise up and call them blessed
In short, may their welded life prove a
perpetual honey moon-a Paradise below.
For the remembrancer in the shape
of gold dollar we beg leave to sign our
self, Yours, Truly.
CooL AS a ZEPHYR.-Who would live
in Dixie, now that the dog-days are COM
ing? Down there the thermometer gets
as high as it pleases-sometime ranging
at 100 and 1909. 1909 in the shade !,
All doesn't that cause person to think
of summer duds We should think so.
Talking of summer wear, the reader sho'd
go to c. r. Jones store and buy suit of
his aerial clothing, which will enable you,
phere, to keep cool as a zephyr.
LIBERAL.-Several of our citizens, with
a liberality worthy of all praise, last week
purchased and shipped to "our boys" at
Camp Wright keg of prime butter
This is an article of diet that is not often
obtained in camp life, and will doubtless
be keenly relished by the recipients. We
understand that it is the fixed determina-
ton Of our good people to do the same
kindness by the soldiers each week.
STICK Pm HERE.-Should any of
our readers desire good illustrated paper,
giving accurate representations of every
thing of interest that transpires in the
great War for the Union, they should call
at the Post Office, where Doctor Thompson
can accommodate them. He also keeps
on hand large stock of National envel-
opes-a popular article nowadays.
WHAT IS RED TAPE ?-"Red Tape" is
an English expression, originated by Car
lyle and made popular by Dickens, de-
signed to represent the ceremonious delays
and official formalities characteristic of the
British Governmental routine. It is SIM
ilarly used in this country to ridicule the
tardiness with which everything is effected
by the Journalism of government officials.
For THE SOLDIERS ON THE "FoURTH"
We are requested to state that box of
provisions and delicacies of various kinds,
in sufficient quantity to afford the entire
company a luxurious "feed," will be sent
to the Cambria Guards at Camp Wright
on the Fourth of July. Those wishing to
donate anything for this purpose are re-
spectfully requested to do so.
ABOUT OIL.-The three agents of the
Ebensburg Oil Company, Messrs. Roberts,
Lewis and Roberts, who have been boring
for oil in Ohio for several months past,
returned last week. They report that
they bored two wells, in each of which
they were so fortunate as to ''strike ile"
They have not yet tested the yield, but
intend returning shortly to do so.
So MUCH.-The Ebensburg Division of
Sons of Temperance are making arrange
ments to celebrate in a becoming manner
the eighty-ffth anniversary of our Nation
al Independence. From the public spirit
that has more than once been manifested
by this society, we may count on some
thing appropriate to the occasion
In LUcK.-We hear it stated that Maj
James D. Hamilton, Of Wilmore, has been
placed in command of one of the Govern
ment trains now advancing on Harper's
Ferry from ChambersburS. The right
man in the right place.
THIRTY THoUsAND.-Among the list
of bidders for the three million State loan
appears the name of QUartermaster Jacob
NJ Campbell, of Johnstown, who goes in
to the tune of 100000 Bully for Camp
bell money amt so skeerce after all
