At q second round Mr.. Sober broke 20

the air, SO that he had 10 turn every
time before shooting.
Ed Mauck, in his brand new drum
majors uuifor m cut about the widest

iouS FoHrth. The fire red unmentiona-
blcs, the beautiful blue coat with gilt
buttons, the five story hat, cap, or
whatever the indescribable thing made
of bears robe is called-but more than
all the elegant BGeh SbdbcrStdb set out

the girls along the entire route Of
march were SAlit ten with Edward-but
perhaps they were for aught we know.
Our neighboring village, Coburn is
looming up bravely. Jacob Kerstet-
rer's house is approaching completion
nd so is Mr.. Grenninger'S. A new
store building is begun, we are not
quite sure by whom, but strongly sus-
peet that Bob Vonada is concerned and
that Cleve D'nges, the enterprising
chap of Centre Hall is at the bottom of
it all. But that's only cur guess.
LATER. ure enough, we had guess.
ed rightly. On Monday morning
bright and eally Mr.. Dinges called to
| engage SOME advertising, which appears
in another column. Cleve understands
the value of pr inter's ink much better
than many lder business men. We
wish the new firm much SUCCESS.
TIE GLORIOUS FOURTH IN Mill
nElM-M Millheim had full, life-sized
Fourth OF July celebration this year,
the biggest and best public demonstra-
tion it ever had on an anniversary o:
our national Independence.
For several days before some Of our
people were busily engaged In putting
the town in best trim. A beautiful
cross arch, profusely decorated with ev-
ergreens and flags, spanned the street
in front of the First National Hotel
The entire front of the hotel was also
tastefully adorned in like manner, and
in the evening the whole scene was
beautifully illuminated with Chinese
lanterns.
People began to flock into town at
an early hour. In the afternoon and
more particularly in the evening large
crowds had assembled. The sidewalks
and even the streets were filled with
people.
Late in the afternoon grand parade
took place under the direction of S. 7.
Frain as Chief Marshall and J. Ii. Mil
Ter, Assistant. The procession was
headed by the Mi!lheim Cornet Band,
followed by veterans of the war and
citizens generally. The parade was All
entire success.
The spacious yard in front of the
school house presented lively scene.
Here the ladies of the Lutheran Mite So
ciety held their ice cream festival and
they did a brisk business. The
grounds were attractively decorated and
nicely illumina ted in the evening.
Crowd after crowd came to refresh
themselves with delicious ice cream,
queenly cakes and Ar:ic lemonade
The pyrotechnic display in the rear of
the school house was an extra treat by
the ladies. 1t was grand and rare
sight such as but few Of the vast crowd
that witnessed it had ever seen before.
At nine O'Clock, ?. NJ, the Rev.
Benj. Hengst delivered the oration Of
the day frUm an elevated platform in
front of the National Hotel. We were
otherwise engaged and had to deny our
selves the pleasure Of heallng it, but
many who heard him say that it was
mastery effort, dealing largely IN his
tory, and highly patriotic throughout.
After the Speech Mr.. Frain entertain
ed the people by the finest exhibition of
fireworks eyer seen in the county. The
sight was truly magnificent.
During the entire day the eYer-pres-
ent, ever-ready Millheim boy gave vent
to his patriotic feelings by the explo-
sion of myriads of fre-crackers and the
sending up of small balloons. In the
evening Mr.. Frain sent up several bal.
looms of larger dimensions. They rose
to great altitude and foated slowly
and gracefully, like things Of beauty,
through the clear, starry sky, until lost
to sight In boundless space above.
Thus came and went the grand old
national holiday A. ID. 1888, in Mill
