An ORGAN GRINDER ON WHEELs.-Ou
Thursday last one of our citizens con.
scripted an organ grinder, placed him in
Sheriff SKIS hand wagon and made a
street parade. The musician couldn't
have made halfdollar as readily other
wise and all enjoyed the fun.
The Chronicle wants the old pump re-
moved from the public square.
We suggest that it be allowed to remain
until the water works have been complet-
cd and then urge that the venerable old
landmark be replaced by fountain.
The Harrisburg Sunday Telegram has
large circulation in this town being sought
after principally on account of Peck's Bad
Boy. Were the doings of some of our
boys written up by facile pen, the pub
Usher could give peck about eight quarts
in the game and beat him the two best out
of three every time. And yet our boys
are not bad, but their conception of fun
sometimes runs in peculiar channels.
The Telegram has also we learn a Me-
chanicstown contributor and that in itself
gives the paper local importance. Johnny
Henshaw is the agent and we bespeak a
liberal support for him.
A SECOND PURCHASE -Mcssrs B. Col
lifower & Son of Franklin Mills have made
their second trip to the City this spring,
having returned last Friday, followed by
the goods on Saturday and Monday
Their first purchase was heavy and
thought to he sufficient, but the very large
| increase in their business ncccssitated
second trip.
Being embroidered by the hattering pa
tronage extended to them they have in
vested more largely than ever and are de-
tcrmined that their stock of goods shall
meet every requirement of their trade, both
as to completeness and prices,
1t is qualification to them to be able to
place so complete line Of goods as those
Just opened before their patrons, knowing
that none can fail to fiji their wants, or to
be pleased with the prices,
A call at their store at Franklin Mills
will justify the above, in the mind Of the
reader. may l7tf
THE WAGON FACToRY.-On Saturday
last we were called upon by another gen
tleman of this place who favored the idea
of building farm wagons at this place. He
is man of considerable business expert
encc and we quote his language in refer
ence to the project. He said: THAT arti
Gle in reference to building "Western'
wagons here was capital one, we have
white oak enough on one tract in our
mountain (naming the tract near town to
furnish the business for a number Of years
and this point is favorahly located, being
at a very great distance from any other
point where those wagons arr made Tie
intimated further that he would interest
himself in it and we will say now, that it
will require that but one or two more, such
as have expressed themselves favorably,
need come forward when, our word for it,
the thing is done and western wagons
will be built in MechanicstOwn.

On last Sa.urdag evening NJ. Joseph
Ni.'cr's ca.t" In some wy escaped from
The field IN which they were being pastUr
ed and as is always the case made their
way to the Western Maryland railroad
track and were just in time TO catch the
Memphis" It however caught them and
killed a very fine aldcrny COW for which
Mr.. NJ. had recently refused $50.
Farmers in this vicinity have finished
planting corn the first time; ~ we predicted
the corn came up very badly and repant-
ing is equally as big job as planting from
the first. Wheat and grass are looking
very promising with us and PROJECTS are
for an abundant harvest.
Mrs Joseph s. Emmert and daughter of
Hagerstown, Mrs Dr. White of Mechan-
icstown and Mr. Luther Kemp of fancy
town have been visiting relatives in this
place.

THE BUILDING ASSOCIATION gains in
proportion as it gains in age. There has
been some new stock taken every meeting
since its organization, it having started
with 252 and now numbers 273 shares and

who know of what it is doing must agree.
We are satisfied that the method of small
savings thus aggregated, to amount to
