Mr.. D. A. Musser, Hon. w. Is
Alexander and Esqire Reifsnyder were
to Harrisburg yesterday to attend the
Democratic convention.
The Ladies' Mite Society of the
st. Johns Lutheran Church will meet

Miss Mary Strohm takes this op-
portunity to inform the citizens OF
Millheim and vicinity that she will a
gain open q school on Tuesday, July
25th, next, and kindly solicits the con-
tinued patronage of the public. t
by reference to another column it
will be seen that our elongated friend,
Prof. c. L. Gramley, will again open a
elect school at Petersburg, on the
18th proximo. Cetph is just the chap
to do it. Big enough to teach any
school in these parts, or anywhere else
for that matter.
President Jacob Cuff Alter is one
of the ,tsefuleSt men around about town
Besides being good faithful president,
he handles the hatchet and saw, the
shovel and the hoe about as dexterous-
ly as any man in this neck o'woods,
The sidewalk he built for Johnny Keen
is fully fit for king to walk over,
The other day Charley Albright
showed us one of the neatest and best
finished buggies we have seen in long
while. It is of the Buck Board style
and nearly all Charley's own work. The
painting is especially Rne and the
stripping and other ornamenting very
exact, beautiful and chaste. Charley
understands how to do it.
-Oa trip to Brushvalley the other
week We had occasion to do some shop
ping in Rebersburg, and were surprised
to find Frank & Sons store so well
stocked with fine selection of Dry
Goods, Boots & Shoes, Groceries, &c
Those gentlemen know how to please
their customers by their good taste and
obliging dispositions.
AS far as we know, the fourth OF
July will be very dull day in this
town. Most of our young men expect
to be at work in the hay fields by that
time, and the older folks have forgot
ten how to celebrate the Fourth. So if
we want to see something like cele-
bration We will have to go to other
places. say Lock Haven.
-Neighbor D. A. Musser has thor
| oughly repaired-that is to say entirely
rebuilt the inside Of the old Musser
mill. New improved machinery and
water wheels supplant the old, and
our friend Philip Meyer is now prepar-
ed to make as good -four as any man
that walks the face of the earth. That's
a mackeral fact.
Farmers are looking around for
workmen for haying and harvest. Both
crops we are glad to say, will DO heavy.
1t is getting to be pretty well under
stood that we are getting too clumsy
for that kind of work, and so our
friends by common consent have agreed
not to hurt our feelings by asking us
to help, which is very considerate and
kind.
Miss Strohm's school picnic on
Saturday was q success. The children
enjoyed themselves to their hearts
content and returned home in gleeful
spirits just before the rain. And it
was ever SO nice and considerate in
Miss StroEm to send us such fine and
varied collection of cakes. If we just
knew.Eho informed her ofour weakness
for kakeS, we'd treat him, her, or them
to glass of lemonade sure. Many
| thanks.
Some business men think it does
not pay to advertise, while others think
it does. Among the latter is the ex-
tensive and popular Bee Hive Dry
Goods house of Lock Haven. The
JOURNAL has advertised the Bee Hive
regularly for the last SIX years, and the
enterprising proprietors feel satisfied
that it pays then well for every dollar
thus expended. There is no store in
Lock Haven that is so we'll known to
the people of the valleys as the Bee
Hive-none that does so large and reg
ular trade to this part of Centre
county. 2t
BOYS, We feel ourself moved to
give you few words Of kind advice.
If you attend picnic or other gather
ing again, please remember that it is
not absolutely necessary that you
should swear so profusely and loudly.
There may be others about who are
not used to such profanity, and to
