The Carbon Advocate
SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER Z, 1899
LOCAL EVENTS CUT UP.

Harvest Home services will be held
in Trinity Lutheran church on Sunday.
For this occasion the pastor, Rev. j. H.
Kuder, has arranged an, interesting pro-
gramme. The observing of Harvest Home
services is beautiful custom, growing
more popular BY the churches each year.
The occasion is made one of praise and
thanksgiving to the Ruler of the universe,
for the bestowal of an abundance of the
necessaries of this life. At the services in
Trinity Lutheran church Sunday, Rev.
Henry Layman, of the Germantown,
Phila., Orphans Home, is expected pres
ent
The cost of water service connections
has been placed at the low cost of $1,000,
less 40 per cent. If taken before the pipes
are covered. This sum is very reasonable
and fully 100 per cent. less than the rate
towns. We haYe heard of some kicking
on account of this charge by the company,
but it is unreasonable and foolish on the
part of the kickers and they should stop
it, and at the same time have the service
connection made and pay for it as pro-
gressive citizens.
The Carbon county fair will open this
year on Tuesday, October l, and continue
for four days. For the convenience of ex-
hibitors, the secretary, Elwen Bauer, will
be on the grounds Monday, previous to the
opening day, for the purpose of registering
and receiving exhibits. This will greatly
facilitate the movements of the fair COM
mittee. Farmers and others should make
preparations for displaying their products,
whether mechanical or agricultural. Get
ready for the opening day.
Who is that man? oh, he's all right;
that's Fred Weigel the popular comed-
ian with Dales Kickapoo aggregation. He
is well-built and fairly handsome gent,
with diamond on his expansive shirt
bosom that scintillates like thousand lit
tie stars. His limitations are simply i'm
mense, while his humor caps the climax
for genuine originality, and his personal
hits have made more than one poor fellow
"Weigep' with the weight of his short
comings.
Carbon Castle, i'll, and Gnaden Huet-
ten Castle, $40, X. G. e., will attend
special services in the Methodist Episcopal
church Sunday evening, on which occasion
Rev. DUNCAN, the regular pastor, will pre-
