AT HIS BENCH AGAIN.. V. Smith
whose health has been poor for some
time back, is now at his bench and
wants fifty good watches to repair in
the next month. Work done at lowest
prices and in the best workmanlike
manner.
Two enthusiastic young lady singers
led the choir and congregation at the
Methodist church a swinging gait on
Sunday. Should they adjourn at any
time to the woods for a service Ofsong,
such help in the rendition of medley,
would be invaluable.
The private school of Herman Roe.
the "HOme School," will reopen the
first Monday in September. The
course includes all the English studies,
sciences, languages, book keeping and
shorthand writing. 1t is also a good
and safe place for the little folks.
OUR quota of city cousins is filling
up. Sometimes they are mistaken at a
side glance for members of the sum-
mer school, but the latter live in
realm so dissimilar, so fall OF lore that a
second look will show which has the
aspiration for the ascent of Parnassus.
WOULD you like to see Jupiter's "at-
tending mOOns?" Take hand look
ing glass and with your back towards
Jupiter place the face of the looking
glass towards the planet and you will
see on either side two bright stars
These stars can't be seen with the naked
eye.
A COMPANY of a dozen or so of Young
people from this town, including several
persons from Philadelphia went to Fra
land Beach on Monday to camp out for
a week or more. The roar of the heav-
emily artillery mingled with the swash
of the waves made their first night one
of delightful experience.
ONE of the editors who went on the
late Press Association to Cresson
Springs, but who spent the day pre-
ceeding the start in Smyrna, remarked
on the way home that he had seen no
grounds, viz: yards or lawns, outside
OF the wild mountains, that equaled in
beauty Belmont Park, near this town.
THE change made in the dwelling of
h. NJ. Fowler, land when completed it
will be marked change in an addi-
ton to the side and extended roof as
we'll as moving it back in line with the
other houses on the square) together
with the new dwelling of John Cos
griff adjoining, will add materially to
this handsome row of houses.
NOTWITHSTANDING the light rain
and threatening weather of Sunday
morning, number of people of this
town and vicinity went to Penrose
camp to sit in their carriages after they
got there, the afternoon proving quite
rainy. This camp seems to have the
properties to draw from the clouds as
well as the surrounding country.
A VERY pretty children's service was
given in st. Peters church on Sunday

next day for Winchester, Va, where
he will spend the month of August

The Rev. DIR. Tullidge will conduct the
morning services. The evening ser
vice will be dispensed with during the
month.
THERE is a certain neighborhood il
a thickly settled part of the town where
they seem to be preparing the way fol
a cOnhagratiOn at least they are using
the appliances therefor in the way Of
coal oil in kindling fires. the pungenl
vapOrs of which approaching supper
time are quite noticeable to the passer
by. What is more, these are peopl,
who read the papers and must be awar,
OF the numerous fearful accidents tha
result from this practice.
If OUR farmers feel "blue" over tn,
continued wet weather, how would they
feel if the rain had fallen here like i
did about Laurel, Salisbury and Snow
Hill, where according to the Baltimore
Sun, the fall for the three days endinl
Sunday was III inches. The rain twt
months ago that caused such destruc
ton in the COnemaugh and Juniat
valleys was only inches. But for tn,
sandy soil and level surface, the lowe

urday to put in the day at trout fishing
In addition to the fine sport, thel

fellows, by actual count. They had
ten minutes shower while out in tn,

to carry off with it as a remembrance
DIR. Wilson is very fond of fishing, tn
best that the vicinity of Baltimore al

and says this was one of the most en-
joyable days of angling he has eve
had.
