Millheim Journal. [volume] (Millheim, Pa.) 1876-1984, 1883-09-06

ly name for so nice a young town. we
propose that you call it Elkton Now
what do you all say, ye FIogtowners ?
Our Aaronsburg friends had a de.
lightful day for their Sunday school
picnic on Saturday and right well did
they improve it. The time was very
pleasantly spent, and the absence of
speeches and other usual formallties
was as agreeable as it was novel. The
Millheim Band furnished music to the
amount of Sc, and we venture to say it
was very cheap, considering the quail
ty.
"A grand picnic and festival by 1.-the
Lutheran and Evangelical Sabbath
schools, will be held in Gen. Heck
mans sugar grove near Logansville,on
Friday, Sep. 1t. There will also be a
soldiers reunion Of the eX-soldierS of
Clinton and Centre counties ut the
same time and place. Several bands
and the G.. A. r. Post, Of ReberSburg,
will be present. Further announce
ments will be made in next weeks is
sue.
WANTED. 100, ,0)0 strong, able-bod-
led men are wanted at the JOURNAL
STORE, each to buy Ready Reference
Tax Receipt Rook. Price only A cents
and cases are easily supposable in
which the little book would be worth
So many dollars. 1t makes no real diff
ference by what mode of conveyance
the men come, whether by rail road
steam boat, telegraph, telephone, pri-
vate carriages, horseback or a-foot-on-
ly so they 60 come and are here in good
season.
The question that just now agi-
tates the town from centre to circum-
ference and gives employment TO our
great men on StateSmen'S COrner-is
whether the stone piles, old buggies, wa
gon boxes, wind mill, engine, lumber
and slabs, opp, site Sheriff Musser's
are placed there for ornament or
use. Both sides are so ably argued
that no decision could as yet be reach
ed. Perhaps onr efficient town council
could throw additional light on the
subject.
Mrs. DIR. Hassenplug, of Philadel-
phia, nee Miss Priscilla Kleckner, for
merly of the vicinity of Millmont, I'm.
ion county, in very kind note dated
the 29Gh ultimo, sent five dollars as
contribution to the treasury of the La
dies Mite Society of the Lutheran con-
gregation, which had recently elected
her an honorary member. This is the
largest individual donation yet receiv-
ed by the society, who hereby return
their sincere thanks to the generous
donor.
-Millheim was favored with some
first class preaching during the Metho-
dist quarterly meeting over Sunday.
Rev. J. 4. Matteru, of the Pleasant
Gap circuit, officiated as substitute for
Presiding Elder McGarrah and filled
the bill admirably. Mr.. Mattern is yet |
a young minister but gives promise of
great usefulness. He possesses decid- |
ed abilities, good culture, wide range
of language, a strong but musical voice,
and is close, logical reasoner. Add |
to these proper earnestnes and zeal and
you have a fair pen picture Of Mr.. Mat
tern. Our people are in love with him,
decidedly.
Mr.. L. G. RunkIe, late of the Cen
tral State Normal School, Lock Haven,
gave US call on Saturday. Mr.. Runk-
le was one of class Of fifty-six who
graduated with much credit t. them
selves and the popular Central State,
June 2Sth last. lie is young man of
fine attainments, good culture, and |
what is still better has always sustain
ed a most unexceptiOnable character
and reputation. 1t affords us pleasure
to add that he was recently elected
Principal of the Howard Grammar
School at the clever salary of $50 per
month.
This section was visited last Thurs
day by most seasonable rain, corn
rain, our farmers called it. 1t does re-
ally seem as If our kind, heavenly
Father had nothing else to do but
shower blessings down upon His
naughty children. Really, do we ap-
preciate them and are We as thankful
as we should be ? Do we give the
Lord His share, do we remember the
poor and needy around US, do we groo6
in works of charity and deeds of mercy,
or do we live only for this world and
exclusively for ourselves B.? These are
questions shat deserve our most SER
ious consideration. Lead Malachi 3
s to II inclusiUe.
