RICE WHEAT Congressman Cur
tin has secured large lot of this ex-
cellent new variety of wheat which is
being distributed to the farmers Of the
county at the agricultural store of AL
exander 81 Co, near the depot, Belle
fonte. We trust that the farmers of
the valleys win not be slow to i'm
prove the opportunity.
The picnic of the Juniata Valley
Printers Association at Bellefonte,
last Friday was success, at least as
far as numbers are concerned. About
seven hundred editors, printers, ladies,
wives and dau5 5hters were present. We
arrived too late in the day to hear Gov.
Curtin and other big men speak, but
learned that speeches, dinner and other
exercises were all strictly first class
CARD.-Our band boys take this
opportunity to return their best
thanks to the ladies and others OF
the town and vicinity for generous
contributions in the form of cakes,
cream and cash C c. c. for their
festival, and to the community at
large for good attendance and lib
elal patronage. They will tip their
new caps as soon as received to all.
DIE BUBEN.
ERIATA.-The sale of the personal
effects of Thomas HoSterman, deceas-
ed, will be next Saturday the 10th. By
an inversion of figure the JOURNAL
of last week had it Saturday the 10Th"
which was an error.
Another error occurred in the
Church Directory, which stated that
Rev. Furman Adams would preach on
next {last) Sunday morning, when his
regular appointment is Sunday evening
the 10th.
Such errors sometimes occur despite
the best care, and the printer regrets
them jnst as much as others who are
effected by them.
THE BAND FESTIVAL The festival
held by our band oh Friday aud Satur-
day last was a grand success. The
doors Of the hall were opened on Fri
day evening about 6 o'clAck, and soon
the people came in to partake of ice
cream, cakes, and other delicacieS that
we're for sale. The array of cakse,
baked by the kind ladies Of our town
and placed on long table was thefnest
ever displayed in this vicinity and
their quality was fully equal to their
appearance. The ice cream was pre-
pared by the bandfellows themselves,
having received all the cream necessary
from the goo d farmers wives in the
neighborhOod. Every body pronounced
the eatables good and tasteful. There
were three very large cakes which
were sold and voted away by tickets.
The lucky numbers for the two Prize
Cakes were, JIG red, and 163 blue.
Mrs. Anna Grove of Spring Mills and
Mr.. G. A. Sturgis of Lewisburg were
the winners. Tie third cake was vot-
ed to Rev. n. Shannon, who returned
his thanks i'll few appropriate re-
marks. On Saturday evening the
Brushvalley band furnished some good
music and'the hall was crowded with
customers and spectators TO its utmost
capacity. The boys we're kept busy SELL
ing until late hour and when they
summoned uD Il proceeds they a.
mounted to $70.75cts. Perfect order
and good feeling prevailed throughout
the entire occasion.
The band has almost enough money
in the treasury to buy their uniforms
and with little more help they will be
able In about three or four weeks to
appear on our streets in dress parade.
