rails. The common rail is thirty
feet long.
Go to G.C.Gutelius, Middleburgh.
Pa, if you wish to see great bar
gazing in Clothing for men and boys.
He has Just opened a large new
stock of choice goods. substantial.
and latest patterns. Prices reduced
to low Observation-Disclosures in the
old motto quick sales and small
profits. He will not allow himself
to be undersold.
The Williamsport Grit people are
not out of their trouble yet. II
seems that after Commissioners Nc
Dewitt had discharged the prisoners
the post office authorities Mt Wash
ington investigated the matter and
ordered the district attorney to send
up an indictment to the court for
sending obscene literature through
the mails. This was done Mt Will
Transport last week and true bill
found by the grand jury.
The old Middleswarth homestead
has changed hands and J. Z. Kearns
has become the happy possessor.
He purchased it at Orphans Court
sale on Tuesday. 1t is the original
tract owned by old Mr.. Middles-
warth upon which the Honorable
Ner Mideleswarth was born. BY all
appearance the buggy business must
contain mint of money as this is
the third farm purchased by Mr..
Kearns within the last two years.
The season is now at hand when
hunters of all ages get their guns
and go forth to bag the shy and Sc
cluded game. 1t is not impertinent,
therefore to advise the sportsman
not to blow down the muzzle of his
gun, not to playfully point an un-
loaded weapon ut q friend, and to
take due care that when he aims at
a mark it be not human being
transformed by the leaves and shad-
ows of the woods into game. Eter-
nal yigilence is the price of safety on
the part of gunners.

for his untiring efforts in securing

principally can be laid the success
attained.
FINE Music. The following com
plimentary notice to the Middle
burgh Band, we clip from the Har-
risburg Daily Star of September 20.
1t is boomer and was entirely un-
expected /; hence it is all the more
appreciated by the boys who will no
doubt read it here for the first time
not having been aware of the
lofty compliments paid them
In front of the Hershey house
last evening there was a concert
which for exquisite rendition and
harmony has not been equaled in
this city, even by Gilmore's band.
This music was furnished by the
Middleburgh band, of Middleburgh,
Snyder county. Middleburgh Is a
village with not over 1000 popula-
ton, but the music of this band is
worthy OF emulation by metropoli-
tan cities and other less pretentious
places.
They ARE COMING. Renova
Record says that an army of black,
gray and red squirrels-5O, 900 strong
has been passing southwark over
our mountains and valleys for the
past three weeks. Hundreds, yea
thousands, have been slain by the
army of hunters, who daily make
the valleys ring with vollies from
their shot guns. Samuel Garman,
the ieweler, went up the railroad
last week and killed so, and he re-
ports that when he got up to the
place of destination, the main body
had lust passed him Nightwatch-
man David Werts killed 81 on Mon
day. Chief Burgess Fergunson,
Judge Chestnut, o. S. Stolz and
dozens of others killed from 10 to
20 each in single days hunt. Where
they all come from is mystery to
the oldest inhabitant.
