cial circles of town.
Our friend, Mr.. B. F. Miller is a.
gain confined to the house, his disease
having taken new form. We very
much wish to see him out again and
assure him of our heartfelt sympathies
There will be an exhibition held in
the town hall on Washingtons birth
day in which our three schools will par
ticipate. So dame rumor says and for
particulars we must wait few weeks
longer.
Mr.. S. R. Kamp, of Milton, has
disposed of his jewelry store and enter
ed into partnership with j. L. Smith
& Co., the proprietors of the widely
known furniture establishment at that
place.
AN OLD VETERAN GoNE.-Johnny
Barnes, the venerable toll keeper ut
Pleasant Gap departed this life at his
residence on Thursday morning last.
He was very old, probably S5 years,
and was widely known and universally
respected.
The great revival meeting in the
Evangelical church is still going on
and is as successful as it possibly could
be. No less than fifty persons have
been conver ted so far and there are
still a number seeking.
A Mr.. Barker, of Rebersburg,
bought the house of Benz. Kerstetter,
opposite the depot at Coburn and ex-
poets to start up restaurant in Spring.
There is want of this kind in our III
sing neighboring town.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.-Mr.
j. r. VanOrmer of Philadelphia has
our thanks for that neatly and welcome
Christmas present. Reese seems to
know our weak points and remembers
the poor printer by timely presents.
Mr.. Geo. Buck, who lately opened
a photograph gallery in Millheim spent
Sunday last with his parents. He
learned the art with Mr.. j. w. Corne-
hus which is the best evidence that he
thoroughly understands the ''rro.
flesh. .''-Le,CiSb,Tg Saturday NelcS.
Mfr. E. W. Mauck showed us some
very fine samples of wall paper. Ed
ward has a large line of samples on
hand and at the lowest prices. Per-
ties who contemplate having work
of this kind done will do we'll to call on
him and examine his stock. If
Our Coburn correspondent was
again too late last week which we much
regret. Communications should reach
n Monday, but must be in by Tuesday
in order to secure insertion the same
week. Sometimes no doubt the mails
are at fault.
On a visit to Coburn last week we
dropped in to see Dinges, Vonada &
Co.'S new store and were surprised at
the general appearance of it. A splen-
did stock of goods in a spacious. order
ly storeroom and three statesmen busy
as beavers accommodating customers
were the facts we noticed and that
tells at once that they mean and do
business.
TAKE NoTICE.-Mr. H. X. Luse
hereby respectfully informs the public
that he has large lot of seed potatoes
known as the "White Elephant POTATO
for sale at his residence at Millheim.
We are in possession of basket full OF
these potatoes and can give them a
warm recommendation as the best
yielding potatoe in the market. If you
are in need Of any seed potatoes do not
fail to call on him. If
Col. Jas. P. Coburn informs us that
the Boards of the Penna. r. r. Co. and
of the Lewisburg 81 Tyrone Co. held
a joint meeting at Philadelphia on last
Wednesday and that the right of way
as we'll as grounds for depots have now
been absolutely secured. Col Coburn
attended the meeting of the boards in
person and does what in his power lays
to further the interests of the road, for
which he deserves the thanks of the
people of the valleys.
RAID ROAD MATTERs.-It is said
that track laying On the Bellefonte and
Lemont road will begin as soon as
spring opens. Both this road and the
Lewisburg & Tyrone road are advertis-
ing for ties, which seems to indicate
that both roads are to be pushed to
completion.
The Mlllheim Building IL Loan
Association closed its ninth year on
Monday evening the 18th instant.
Nominations were made for new Of
ticers and an auditing committee was
appointed. The annual report will be
