We visited Emporium last week when
the town was handsomely decorated and
was well filed with visitors and brass
bands. The band tournament was the
cause of the elaborate decorations.
Judging Emporium from two hours
visit, when dressed in festive attire,
we cannot but remark that IL Is pret-
ty town, but well hemmed in by noun
tans.

Capt. Z. c. Reynolds, who works at
the weigh Office at Big Soldier, came
very nearly crippling himself for life.
Tilton works at night and he left the
weigh Office before daylight last Thurs
day morning to come home on coal
train. He jumped of the train at the
company store, but the darkness and in
experience of jumping of moving trains
was too much for him and he took a
tumble and his right knee was badly
bruised and skinned up.
When Rev. Derr and wife were re-
turning from Johnsonburg last week ON

accident happened which frightened
them. The train was running by a
working train and one Of the men had
carelessly laid his shavel down on the
fiat car and the shovel went through
the window where Mr.. and Mrs. Derr
and their baby were sitting. Fortunately
no one was injured save little scratch
on the baby's face, made by piece of
glass.
A man may object to being awakened
from peaceful sleep by a feline concert
or a dog jubilee about the midnight
hour, but when brought back from slum-
berland by angelic-like music, the man
who would "kick" should be ostracized
from a civilized community. Last
Monday night while enjoying the sweet
repose that Is only known by the news
paper fraternity, especially the country
editor, we were awakened by the
most delightful music we have heard
for many-a-day. The music was pro.
duced by dozen young men of our
town. Come again.
