ing and recitations. The church was
crowded and the exercises were all good,
but the program was too long. The
collection amounted to eleven dollars
and twenty-nine cents. The ladies Of
the societies conducted the meeting
themselves, they were not beholden to
the brethren for any assistance.
Ira G. Fuller sold the Longview Flour
ing Mill at Brookville on the 4th inst. to
! w. A. Neale for $l7 900. A stock COM
pany was formed Immediately with a
capital stock of $50, 900 and Mr.. Neale
sold out for $4,000 and the new com
pany took charge the following Monday.
The new organization will be known as
the jefferson Milling Company. NJ. II.
Carrier is president; n. L. Strong sc-
cretary; +. A. Carmalt treasurer, and
w. A. Ncale general manager. The
Longview is an excellent mill. Its
capacity is one hundred barrels Of -four
and ten tons of chop per day, and its
storage capacity 10000 busncls.
The scheme for the seven towns men,
toned by the Dubois Courier to work
together in securing lecturers for the
season of 1894 seems to be receiving
the appreciation of most all the towns
suggested. The Reynoldsville Lee
ture Association has been more forum
ate with its lecture course this past
season, financially at least, than have
the associations at Punxsutawney and
Dubois. 1t is probable that the asso-
citation at this place will have enough
money left after the fourth lecture,
which is to be delivered by John II. Clark
on the 22nd inst, to engage a fifth
lecturer, although four was all that was
promised when the season tickets were
sold.
Those who witnessed the killing of r..
w. McMillen's big OK at Goat City
several weeks ago had considerable
sport out of it. The butcher who was
to have been present to blow out the
ox's eight of life." failed to get there
and Jacob Haas said he would kill the
animal. He loaded the gun, took
deliberate aim and fired. The OK did
not drop, nor even move, but Haas
dropped. The demon of a gun worked
the wrong way. Nothing daunted
the gun and this time when the smoke
had cleared away and the men come
out of their hiding places, as they were
not sure whether Haas was going to
shoot 'where he looked" or not, the
| lifeless carcas of the OK was stretched
on the ground.
A ceremony was performed at 7.30
last evening by Rev. +. T. Derr, pastor
Of the Baptist church, at the resi-
dence OF Jacob Booth, on Main street,
which united G.. b. NJ. Postlethweit
and Miss Cora V. Booth in the holy
bonds of matrimony The marriage
was not surprise. After the nuptial
knot was tied supper was served. A
large number Of invited friends were
there. Numerous presents were given
to the happy couple. Mr.. Postlethwait
is well-to-do young man who has been
an employee of Hopkins big mill for
sometime. Miss Booth made her home
with her parents in this place whore
she is well and favorably known and is
quite worker in the Baptist church.
They expect to abide in our midst.
The STAR joins with their friends in
wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Postlethwait sue
cess in their married life
A large crowd was at the A. V. R'y
station when the one o'clock train came
in Monday to get glimpse, if possible,
of fellow who has become noted in
certain circles because he has been
successful in one or two prize fights.
The pugilist pulled down two window
shades in the car he occupied so that
the anxious crowd Of boys and men on
the platform could not see him, but
many were not going to be disappointed
and they went into the Car to see the
gentleman of honor, with dis before
it, while others climbed onto the rear
platform Of the car. The train started
before all the sight seers" got off and
one fellow, in jumping off, fell on the
broad of his back and came very nearly
rolling under the train, but what is
the odds in risking life when it comes
to seeing fellow, who looks like man,
whose highest ambition is to be a great
fighter. Prize fighters to-day soon be-
come rich.
There are a few people in Reynolds
, vile who send all their printing out Of
| town to have done. Dubois, Brook
vile, Big Run and other places get the
work to do. The prices are very little
cheaper in some cases, while in others
it is just the same as it can be done at
