The Middleburgh post. [volume] (Middleburgh, Snyder Co., Pa.) 1883-1916, 1886-01-28

Rev. Diven. financial agent for the
Missionary Institute at Selinsgrove,
filled the Lutheran pulpit In this
place on Sunday evening. He is con
sidered one OF the ahlest ministers in
this Synod and IL, withal, one Of the
jolliest old gentlemen we have ever
met.
N. 2. Steininger, Middleburgh's
standard harness maker Is doing q
rushing business just now. Past ex-
perience has taught our farmers that
though good stock in well-,nads har-
ness costs more In the beginning, IL is
the cheaper In the end, hence his
boom at this time.

Record appears in another column.
Though we differ with II politically y
we believe IL Is conscientious In Its
views, free, fearless and independent
--ineriting the respect nnd support OF
every liberal minded man and woman.

VIM. Hertz,er OF Port Royal, favor
ed us with n pleasant call on Monday,
accompanied by Hon. q. A. Schoch.
Mr. Hertzler is one OF Juniata's rising
young Republicans, and has been
Chairman Of the Juniata Republican
convention for several campaigns,
during which he deported himself
with remarkable tact and ability.
Major Dill is still confined to his
room with sickness, but il is hoped
the worst is past. We visited him
one evening last week, and though he
is very weak-scarcely able to raise
head from the pillow, he WAS very
laxative and assured US that his all
ment was by no means of an alarming
nature. We hope this diagnosis OF
himself Is correct, and that he will
soon be restored to his usual good
health.
We had the pleasure Of attending
the musical convention at Freeburg,
on Thursday and Friday evenings Of
last week. The concerts were fully
up to the standard which have given
Uncle Freddy Meyer and his son Prof.
William Meyer a worldwide reput a.
ton as musicians and musical direc.
tors. The convention was unusually
well attended and the spacious hall
was crowded to overfiowiug on every
concert evening. 1t was decided
success intellectually, socially and, we
hope, financially.
One OF the best companies we have
ever been permitted to do work for is
