UNIONTOWN.

| Mr.. GEORGE NEEL, aged about rs
years, and for so years a resident of this
town, died on the night of the oath inst,
after an illness of several months, and
on Saturday his remains were inferred
in the burying ground at Crabapple
| Church. Rev. Robert Armstrong con-
Quoted the funeral service, and Mr. Jas.
! Welsh, undertaken, made all necessary
arrangements for the interment of the
body. Mr.. Neel was well known
| throughout this and adjoining counties
He began life as carpenter kept
Hotel on the corner of Public Square.
After giving up the Hotel he turned his
attention to cabinet making; after work
ing at this trade for several years, he
learned the photographers art, carrying
on In connection with these two trades
that of gunSmith, which he continued
until his last sickness. He was thor
Ough mechanic, and never failed in that
which he attempted to accomplish. He
was of an amiable kind nature, charita-
BILE to the poor, and always avoided that
which had atendency to create discOrd in
the community. Afflicted with partial
loss of hearing, he never attended divine
service, and this led many to suppose
that he was negligent of religion, but to
those who knew him well, he was known
to be diligent in reading and studying
the Scriptures; also printed sermons and
religious newspapers. He often con-
versed on religious subjects, and seemed
to fully comprehend the Gospel plan of
salvation. Mr.. Neel will be missed by
his family, to whom he was ever kind
and indulgent-by his neighbors, to
whom he was accommodating and
friendly, and by those who patronized
him in business, as his place cannot well
be filled by others. May he rest in peace.
THE RAIN.-Whether just or unjust
the people of this locality were favored
by an abundant rainfall on the oath and
25th inst, while at distance of two
miles on each side of the town there
was no rain. On Saturday the rain fell
in torrents, and as far as we can learn
was general.
HAY has been cured this season in
many instances without dew or rain
falling upon it, and is reported to be of
a superior quality to that which has
been cured for many years. 1t is said
that quality will compensate for the de-
ficiency in quantity.
GRANVILLE FEMALE COLLEGE circu-
lar has been received, and we quote as
follows: "The aim is to keep abreast of
the best American Colleges for women"
This, in our opinion, is a very fair and
even divide, and in every way consistent
with the duties of an Alma Mater. Go
in, girls, and NJ BRACE your Opportuni-
ties.
ERRATA-Through our own negli-
gence or that of the compositor, we made
most too much of change in the wealth
er last week; it should have read, "On
Wednesday 1909, on Thursday roe
thirty degrees of change"
A DIsTINGUIHED and deservedly popu-
lar divine from New Athens, Ohio,
preached at the Grade School House. on
Sabbath last. After sermon he mounted
a horse which one of his hearers had
hitched near the house, and did not dis |
cover his mistake until he had proceed |
ed little on his way, and to where his !
own horse was tied, when he ascertained |
that his own, although not politicians |
clark horse" was a horse of another |
color. 1t is needless to say that the |
whole congregation indulged in a sacri-
legious grin at his expense.
MEAT FOR THE BEAR, oats for the sea-
horse. Contributions for this purpose
were carried up to Cadiz by a few per-
sons from this vicinity on Monday. 9th
ers said they did not owe the show any
they did not care to see the
lion after seeing the ly'n on the show
bills-anybody can catch cannon balls if |
they want to. H.
