self immensely, was thrown from their

careful the next time you mount so
vicious quadruped.
Some Of Reynoldsville's gentlemen
must have had a Sunday picnic last Sab
bath some place back in the country
judging from the number of rigs that
passed through here on that day. If
Little Annie Rooney" is their sweet
heart, we would advise them not to
distribute the information all over the
state OF Pennsylvania.
The picnic at the Pine Grove school
house one week ago last Friday was an
entire success. A large crowd was in
attendance as also was an excellent din
ner. Rev. A. +. Metler was present
with his tent and photographing appa-
ratus and delighted the boys and girls
with some fine specimens of their coun-
tenances. Recitations and vocal music
were the order of the afternoon. Among
the speakers were Rev. Jelbart, of EN-
erickville, Miss Weir, of Dubois, Miss
Bessie Moore, of Brookville, Miss Jennie
Waite, of Sandy Valley, Rev. A. E.
Metler, OF Schaffner's Corners, and the
home talent A large swing was erect
ed which afforded great deal Of amuse-
ment for the younger class OF people.
We extend our thanks to the people of
that place for the hospitality shown us
on that day.
We pity Beebe's hogs. Why? Be-
cause, after the ravages made on their
cornfield by number of town ladies,
in all probability they will have to
starve during the coming winter. Let
us explain our meaning. Last Friday a
number of ladies from Reynoldsville,
including Mrs. Jno. Bartle, Mrs. E.
L. Evans, Mrs. Annie Hendricks, Mrs.
H. Herpel and Mrs. Joanna Anderson,
arrived at the home Of L. M. Beebe al
most entirely unexpected. They took
possession Of the farm, ransacked the
larder, deposited the roof Of the house
where the floor should be and, not
content with this much, shouldered the
cornfeld and took 1t home with them
on the evening train. Come again, Ia
dies, the potatOe patch and the onion
beds are left yet. You forgot those,
did you not? A great deal OF amuse-
ment was afforded by one Of ladies
asking who was the largest lady in
the crowd. Their prospective measure
ments were taken and 1t was decided
that Mrs. Hendricks outrivalled them
all.
