The neck.tie Festival Of the Wo
mems Aid Society in the band room
on Saturday evening was u success
and far exceeded the expectations of
even the ladies themselves. All the
tics, some forty in number, were sold
which afforded an immense amount
of amusement. The ladies were de
lighted with the liberality shown by
the overcrowded audience and the
eagerness shown by the male element
to secure them as partners. The sos
ciety made $22. 10 clear and had II
jolly good time besides.

An interesting case was tried over
in Union county recently before
Judge Bucher. W. N. Baker was
tried under the Sunday law of 1894,
for selling cigars on Sunday. lie
claimed that as he was an innkeepcr
he had n right to sell cigars on Sun
day. The Justice OF the Peace before
whom the case was tried decided that
Baker had n right TO sell to the guests
Of his house but not to other persons.
Judge Bucher did not take this view
OF the case bat decided that under
the law of 1904 no one had right to
sell cigars on Sunday no matter
whether he was an innkeeper or not,
and no matter whether the person
buying them was IA guest of the house
or not.
Every young man who earns wages
ought to buy lot and make start
for home. The way to get start
is to save a little money each month
and make payment on your pur
chase, and so, little by little, pay for
your lot and build your house. Don't
spend all your money on livery turn
outs and dances and ice cream to
please your best girl. After while
you will need home for that best
girl and the youngsters that some
way or other generally come around
and want to put up with you. Put
n little OF your spared cash into the
ground as you go along, and after
many days it will bring you a roy
atty.
William Youngman of Beavertown,
and j. Irwin Howell, of Mcclure, who
purchased j. w. Snook's stock of
merchandise at Millheim, Pa, will
take charge of the stend next week.
Mr.. Youngman has had seven years
experience in the mercantile bu-
siness, and Mr.. Howell is school
teacher, and is acknowledged one OF
the most thorough and successful in-
structors in the county. Both are still
young men, OF quiet habits, honest,
sober, industrious, and as substantial
as the hills among which they were
raised. Our Centre county friends
will find then perfect gentlemen and
reliable business men-and we ask for
them a hearty welcome in their midst.
