has brought FIVE jurymen to a realiz'
ing sense of their duties by fining them
$40 each and costs for not being on
hand when wanted in court.
The MILLHEIM CoRNET BAND
is growing in popularity, and deserved
" so. 1t is conceded on all hands
that it is the best land far and wide.
In Sact the "boys" are entirely fit to
furnish the music at Hancock's inaug-
uration and we move that arrange
mants be made to engage them for the
glorious 'c0SiOn.
Samuel Gramley, Trustee will Of
fer at public sale Tuesday October Goth,
next, one of the most valuable farms
in Brush SValley. The farm contains
2S2 acres, oil which over 100 Is well
timbered with oak, pine, hemlock and
chestnut. Here is rare chance for q
profitable investment.
GREAT CRAsH.-T. r. Stam has be.
come the successor of his father in the
store business and is now the sole pro-
prietor of the concern. He started in
with general mark down in goods and
his prices really seem to us to be lower
than the lowest. We can not enumer.
ate here but just go and see for your
self whether in dry goods, groceries,
boots d shoes, he does not offer greater
inducements than any store in this Sec
ton.

The other W Wednesday evening we
had quite neat little impromptu Dem
ocratic meeting, the occasion of
which was the presence Of Hon. w. A.
Murray, one of our members of the
lower house Of the state legislature.
The band was out, of course, and did
its level best to entertain the honera-
able gentleman, he in return tried to
please the band, ard We risk nothing
in saying that both succeeded admir-
ably. Mr.. NJ. made q little speech
which seemed 'tc please everybody
especially the Republicans. He gave
facts and figures and instituted COM
parsons proving beyond reasonable
doubt that Hancock will be elected.
Mr.. Murray is very fair speaker, a
trustworthy, ompetent servant of the
people, and has largely increased the
number Of his personal friends in this
0uu OL LnS county.
THIS SETTLES IT.-There has been
considerable discussion as to whether
or not the liquor and beer sellers could
open their places legally on election
days after the closing of the polls. The
act Of 1872 limited their closing to the
hours of election: but the act of 1875,
which now regulates -the matter, en-
ph atically says:
sit shall not be lawful for any per.
son, with or without license, to sell to
any person any intoxicating drink on
any day on which elections are now or
hereafter may be required to be held,
nor on Sunday, nor at any time to 9
minor, Oh to q person visiblY affected
by intoxicating drink"
The Sunday School picnic at Pine
Creek, last Saturday, was a BIG thing
as well rs decided success" besides.
The Pine Greek, Elk Creek and Noun
tain schools Joined in the celebration.
A great number of people attended.
The Millheim Sc Woodward bands dis
coursed the music. Rev. J. Tomlinson,
Rev. E. Stambach, Hon. J. G.. Meyer
and Mr.. VIM. II. Harter, of Hartleton,
delivered addresses. The cakes and
other eatables are spoken of in the
highest terms of praise-both as re.
CARDS amount and quality. We felt
real specially on account of the
delicious cakeS-that circumstances
prevented US from going. We heard
one objection though, to the manner
in which this celebration was conduc-
ted, namely that there was no singing
at all by the schools-all band mu-
sic. This departure from the good old
custom is certainly not commen dabk.
