JUMBO EVERGREEN SWEET CORN.
MIR. B. .. Deininger met with unusual
good success this season in raising a
fine and large crop of sweet corn on
his lots on Penn street. BY persevering
and unUiring labor he got the soil in a
first class state of cultivation and the
result is a superior crop of corn. lie
baptized it as above heading reads and
will sell quantities of it for seeding
purposes.

that paper has indeed a rich flow of
emphatic adjectives IN his language
which hardly leaves good spot on his
victim,
AT the lowest estimation there will
be 5000 veterans at the grand soldiers
! reunion at Lewisburg on the 9Th. Cen
tire county will be strongly represented.
Several fire companies expect to fall in
line In the large parade which will take
place most likely in the forenoon. The
town will be decorated with splendid
profusion of national colors and there
will be no end to band aud marshal
music. The excursion rates are low
and many people will visit the burg to
spend the day with the "boys in blue. ="
While waiting on the down train
at the Spring Mills station last Friday
afternoon we had the pleasure of meet
ing Rev. S. g. Shannon, of Sunbury,
who had been on short visit at Squire
Hering's and was about returning
home. Mr.. John T.. Colt and Mr..
Todd, of Northumberland, both wide
awake representatives of the Penn Mu-
tual Life Insurance company were
also on hand and ready to board the
train. When compelled to wait on q
train there is nothing more pleasant
than to fall in with congenial company.
Can't we organize an excursion and
have a grand Picnic on the Lewisburg
Fair ground during their fair ? We
ought to take down such carload as
would astoniSh the natives. The rail
road company offers excursion rates,
but such an excursion as we suggest
would get us much lower rates. The
display at the fair will be worth all it
will cost, besides having picnic and
railroad ride. 1t will afford an oppOr-
tunity to witness some fine races and
see some of the finest stock Of all kinds
in the country. Who will be first to
move in this matter ? Did you see
their bills ?
"A few of our half-grown town
boys played one of their thoughtless
tricks last Thursday, which might have
resulted in much damage had it not
been discovered in good time. They
filled hollow tiee, about two feet in
circumference, and standing on ID. A l..
Musser's land near the foundry dam,
with dry leaves and with match lit
the lnfamable pile. In a short time
the tree was a column of Gre, burning
very briskly igniting fence near by.
Several dozen buckets full of water
checked the lively conhagration. Boys,
If you are ever tempted to indulge in
that kind .Of fun again, remember that
you may have to pay dearly for it.
FREDDIE WILLIAMs.-That grim
monarch, death, made his appearance
among US again last Saturday, taking
from Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin Williams
their only child, Freddie. The little one
would have been two years old in Octo

that dread disease. cholera infantum,
seems to set so much harder on his pa

sick four days and having been a rea
