MLLIIElM'S FACTORY.-At last the
Hosiery Factory is an assured thing
and articles of agreement between the
manufacturers and the stock holders
are at present being drawn up. The
site for the factory building has
been secured. The tract of land, sit
uate west of Penn street between Ston-
er's and Reighard's farms, has been pur-
chased of Mr.. Jordan, Aaronsburg, for
that purpose. 1t contains ten acres or
ground and affords ample room for all
the necessary buildings. After satis-
factory arrangements have been arrived
at with the Railroad Company about
rates, work on the building is to bepros-
ecuted as soon as practicable, and by the
first of the new year we may hope to
see the establishment in running order.
This is the realiZ ltion of wish that
was foster ed by Millheim's enterpris-
ing men for many years and as we said
before will be Godsend to the farmers,
merchants, mechanics and laborers
within a radius of at least FIVE miles. 1t
is hardly necessary to say that the peo-
pie in general will give the factory a
hearty welcome. AS matters progress
we will give our readers further partic-
u'ars from time to time.
The immense crowd at the band
festival last Saturday evening again
showed that our people never 60 back
on IA festival, no matter which oIganiza-
ton holds it. The conspicuous feat
ures Of this occasion were in the first
place the tasty decorations and neat ar
rangement of the rink. Another re-
markable sight was the cake table COW
ere6 with about so excellent cakes of
all descriptions and makes, furnished
by the ladies of this place and Aarons-
burg. The presence of the Brushyalley
Band and the numerous cake walks
were a great help in making the affair
pleasant and spicy. The ice cream and
oysters were pronounced delicious but
the crowd was doomed to disappoint-
ment for at about nine o'clock it
was announced that the cream was all
sold. The net proceeds amount to a
small fraction less than $40 and the
members of the band take this opportu-
nifty to return their sincere thanks to
the community and the surrounding
country for the liberal patronage receiy-
ed. The band had splendid weather
and the boys haye the satisfaction to
know that by hard labor and good man.
agement they had the most successful
festival of the season.
The following account from the
Lincoln Co. (KaLsas) Democrat of a
Sunday school picnic at which Mr.. p.
B. Slower, former Centre countian
figures as superintendent, shows that
Kansas is wide-awake in the Sunday
school cause
The Pleasant Valley Sunday School
held its annual picnic in the grove of
Mr.. Marsh on the 2Sth ult. This grove
is but four miles from Lincoln, along
the south side of Bull Foot creek, and
is one of the most delightful spots that
picnicers could desire.
On the occasion referred to above,
every thing was arranged to give the
school a pleasant day. A carefully
prepared programme of exercises was
carried out. Seats had been construct
ed sufficient to seat 200 persons COM
fortably, and a rostrum built for the
singers and speakers. Promptly at IL
O'Clock the school was called to order
and the exercises commenced with
singing by the chcir and prayer by Rev
Il. l.. Yarger.
The superintendent then made an
address of welcome, after which the
meeting adjourned until after dinner.
Any one looking over the table would
not think that Lincoln county was suf-
fering from a famine. Chickens, cakes,
pies and everything good was there to
