| terable day on which to celebrate the bi-cen-
/ tennial OF William Perm on these native
/ shores, and legal holiday was proclaimed
/ As consequence, Judge Dean sent word to
| Associate judges Flanagan and Masters that
he would not be present here on Tuesday to
hold the Court, and the business therefore
! went over by the hearing of few motions
before the Associates for incidental business.
| The regular session of the Argument Court
was by consent adjourned till the 14th OF
November
We note with regret the death OF bright
/ and interesting little son, aged about three
I years, of Mr.. ?. F. Kirby, of WilmoTe, which
| occurred a few davs ago. This is the same
child to which we referred in recent issue
of our paper as being afflicted with that pit
Hess plague, diphtheria-a scourge that sell
| dom spares, and in this instance has robbed
our friends Mr.. and Mrs. Kirby, of one of
their dearest household treasures, little Tom
my. Our heart goes out in sincere sympa-
thv to the bereaved ones, more especially at
we have learned from sad experience, oft re-
peated what it is to deal with that terrible
scourgp. The other members of Mr.. Kirby ;
family that were afflicted, have, we are glad
to saw, fully recovered.
A little girl by the name OF Ford was
bitten by dog some time ago at Latrooe'
and to mend matters an old nag or woman
told her that in nine days she would 90 mao

her parents for fear of frightening them, but
I kept counting the davs under the hIm con-
viction that she would go mad at the end OF
the nine days. Her parents soon noticed
/ something was troubling her peace OF mlnd
and prevailed on her to tell when she eX-
| planned the whole affair 1t had so worked
or her mind that she was on the verge OF IN
sanity, but by careful nursing and diversion

self and the parents of the child
Several of our contemporaries are devls-
ing WAYS and means for expending the i'm
I Of tbP han0S
! Chairman and Acting Secretary Conrad, OF
the defunct J. Y. p. A, after paying the eX-
! penses of the last annual excursion the
| most sensible of which comes from Brother
1 Trout of the Iewistown Free Press, who
/ suggests that "Cooney" invests some OF the
| funds in postal cards with which to call
meeting of the fraternity at Huntingdon on
I the third SATURDAY. of next month. for the
purpose of devising wavS and means for the
formation of a Juniata Valley Editorial AS
| sOciatiOn. The idea is a good one, ana II
( the TamificatiOns of such an organization can
1 be sufficiently ramifed to include all the
I territory embraced within the limits Of its
! predecessor, and Altoona instead o. hunt
ingdon is named, wouldn't mind secondlng
the motion.
We did an unintended injustice to the
! Golden Eag.e Clothing House, Altoona, by
I stating couple of weeks ago that MeSSrS
/ Eicher & LatterTer were the only clothing
/ merchants in tnat CITY who had a standing
/ advertisement in the FREEMAN. We don't
/ know how we came to fall into the error, as
/ the Golden Eagle has been represented in
/ our advertising columns for several months
/ past, and, as Will be seen bya new announce
. ment in our PAPER this week comes to the
front with Fall and Winter stock ag2rega-
ting $50, 900, which the proprietor guarantees
I to sell at 20 per cent. less than any other
/ clothing house in that city. MI w. w.
Z Saup. a popular young Cambrlan. formerly
| of Chest SPRINGS, is connected with the
/ "GOlden Eagle" as salesman. and this fact
I should, as it does. attract hosts of Cambria
! county customers to that large wellhlled and
/ honestly conducted establishment.
| We notice bv an exchange that the Eb-
! ensburg Silver COrnet Band has been dis
/ handed. Such is not the fact. Professor
| Viola, the instructor of the band, has taken
I his departure from our midst, but the band
| goes on DR.. Oscar Creerv is the leader,
| and he assures us that the organization will
! be continued intact, lessons for instruction
| to be held in the Council Chamber as usual.
} We certainly have in our midst enough in
! side talent TO perfect a full-fedged band
. without relying on irresponsible influence.
To say that our band has gone down or is
going down is a mistake of which we desire
our CarrOlltown. Cherrytree and other
I neighhOrS to make special note. We may be
permitted to add that inside fifty years, no
band of the sort mentioned has come to its
perfect fTuitiOn here, for the'simple and only
reason that the leader ran off, was inveiCled
away, OF otherwise became resident OF an
other tOwE under circumstances which he
presumed to be better than those presented
here. Let the band play ~
