We call the attention of our read
erS to the new advertisement Of Harris
Millinery, Notion and Variety Store at
LewiSburg 1t is a Just splendid place
to buy especially for ladies. If any one

hats and furnishing goods generally,
Mrs. Harris does, and you will find
prices prabably lower than at any other
similar establishment in this part of

Prof I. c. Yeakes, of Union Sem
mary, New Berlin, Pa, gave us Il call
on Saturday The Professor has been
engaged in the Seminary for some years
an d sustains q first class reputation
both as teacher and gentleman. At
present he is engaged in collecting
funds for repairs and additions to the
Seminary building. We are happy to
state that he meets with encouraging
success aud that the institution he rep
resents is in a fourishing condition.
And now :hat Centre county has
proven that she has bigger tree than
tie big elm recently cut down i'll Lew
iSburg, brother Whitman of the Jour
nal claims that theirs was the oldest
and actually demands that our giant be
cut down just to show that he is right.
Not bit of it, brother w. We have
too much veneration for the grand old
landmark. But let your sientilic Socie-
ty men-your University Professors
come up and 'calculate" the age of the
old boss, in order to settle the matter.
If they can't do that like to know what
they ''professors' for. At all events
the common voice here is
"Woodman, spare that tree"
