Bavaria, his native country. Aside
from a natural desire to look upon the
scenes OF his youth he goes mainly to
bring his father, David L. Wineland,
to this country. The latter, recently
doubiy bereaved by the death of his
wife and the only daughter resident in
Europe, is quite alone. His surviving
children, therefore, have been able to
obtain his consent to make his resi-
dence here also. He is SO years
old, but hale and hearty. His letters
evince full appreciation of the mag
nitude of the change he is about to
make, and a corresponding determina-
tion to incur all the displeasures and
risks attending it. He realizes that
for one of his advanced years that it
is no small matter to disrupt lifelong
relations and ties for new home, new
friends and new ways of living. He
will enjoy the satisfaction, however,
Of living within quick and easy reach
OF all his children. The son who goes
to accompany him to his new home is
we'll and widely known in this section
as a business man who has worked his
way to a position of independent if
not affluent living. Those who know
him best will readily concede that he
has earned the delightful recreation
which this tour, inspired by filial duty,
affords him. Thirty-fve years an
American by adoption, and thirty-two
years a resident of this county,
measures at once the period of his
labor and his absence from his fathers
roof. His mission in Emrope COM
pleted, however, he anticipates that
he will gladly re-embark for New
York about the last of August and
reach home about the 10th of Septem-
ber. His father will reside in Phila-
delphia. During his absence the store
here will be in charge of Charles w.
Oder, of Kansas City, Mo-, and Henry
Lehr, of this place. The former will
come east on a vacation which he will
devote to an oversight of Mr.. Wine
lands business. The stock was re-
plenished this week by invoices select
ed by Mr.. Wineland last week while
on a visit to Philadelphia arranging
for his European journey.
