the guest of her cousin, Miss Jennie
Hedges.
How do you like the contrast?
Have you seen the group?
Plenty of mud.
There are big crowds at the fair ev-
cry night. That's right. You could
not spend your money for more de-
serving cause.
Did you all win cake?
Clinton Chamberlin has returned to
his home near Fairfield.
Be sure to hear the "Noss Familyn
tonight.
Isl Perkins, more than exceeded
the expectations of the hearers. The
play is full of fun, and is admirably
supported. The farmers band in cos
tune was, well, we don't know, but
when clothed and in their right mind
there is no discount on the music.
A very pleasant social gathering
was held at Miss Maud Howison's
last Monday night in honor of Mr..
Edwin Howison. Those present were
Misses Maggie Wild, Mollie Philips,
Brent Smith, Rose Cunningham and
Ruth Chamberlin, and Messrs. Will
Dodd, Will Turner, Geo. Criswell,
Charlie Pine, Averill Miller and Phil
Sayles. The various features of the
evening were music, dancing, cards,
jokes and last, but not least, refresh
ments, which were served at halfpa
ten. Every one present had a good
social time, and were delighted with
the evening, the only unpleasant part
being that of saying goodbye to Mr..
Edwin and Miss Maud Howison who
left on Tuesday morning for Wash
ington.
Oh, for another view of that other
group.
A great many have already gone to
Washington, some of them being,
Mrs. l.. Miller, Bessie Houseworth,
Grace Swartz, Grant Pitzer, Will Tur-
ner, G. A. Miller and many more.
The different lodges, bands, etc.,
have been well represented at the
fair.
The Missionary Anniversary at the
M. e. Church Sunday night, was well
attended. The missionary report for
the year shows the Sunday School to
be in prosperous condition. A
pleasing programme, consisting of
music. dialogues and recitations was
well carried out, and much enjoyed
by the audience. A dialogue between
Howard Edwards and Edgar Pitzer
was especially good.
Why does the left arm always go in
a coat sleeve last?
Yes sir, you've hit the right idea.
Let them down easy.
Short, stout and thick-so said a
young man in an distracted manner
at the fair the other night. Maybe
he is preparing material for q treatise
on physiology as that is his speciality.
Which one is the citizen, father or
son under age?
At the Oxford League, Tuesday
night in the NJ. E. Church, the forma-
ton of the same was perfected, con-

by Ed. Gallaher; Hiawatha's Woo
ing, by Annie Day; Grafton of Pat
rick Henry, by Asbury Chambers;
The Landing of the Pilgrims, Lily
Mathews, and a talk from Martha
Washington by Minnie Winning.
These were all in appropriate cos
tunes, and it was a first-class enter
tainment.
Say wasn't he almost aciid when he
left?
Franks the boy to play for the oys-
tiers. It's easier to play than TO work
for them like the girls have to.

PAY your freight"
Struck are you, surely not on the
nose!
Did you see the advance agent?
Mr.. Speer of Chambersburg, form
erly of this place, was here with Mr..

The country is just full of dances,
surprise parties, literary societies,
etc.; what's the matter with having
some i'll town.
Soon conference time will come.
Grace, disgrace and candle grace,
rats, chestnuts, cinders and all such.
A certain miller says he'll he dod(d)
gasted if he wouldn't rather go May
6errying in the Pine hills than go to
such a surprise party again.
Come off the fence.
Eleven complimentaries all at once
what's the matter with that

place were at the banquet in Balti-

Of all words intended to gall, ex-
cuse these three, "once for all.'

citizens to the fair Wednesday night.
Next time don't sit on that end of
the bench.
Red, white and blue.

every person do his best to make that
prophecy failure.
