Hollow Mockery.

Sunday was good day for people who
had resolved to be more faithful in at
tending church during 1893 and were
looking for an excuse to stay at home.
We will say just here that it is hollow
mockery for men and women who are
blessed with health and strengthened
including Sunday sick, which is so
prevalent all over the land--to profess
to be loyal to the church Of their choice
who allow little rain or snow to keep
them from their place of worship on
Sunday. such people are seldom housed
an hour during the week II they have
any place to go and want to go. Peo-
pie who are afraid Of inclement weather
are the very ones you cannot put much
dependence on to do work in the church
or Sunday school. The weather is a
good tester Of religion.

Season Tickets.

The Reynoldsville Lecture AssOcia-
tion will now sell season tickets for the
three lectures, Jan. Goth, Feb. 22nd and
March 22nd, for $l.25. II you appre-
ciate good thing, don't let these lee
lures pass by without going to hear
them. The Lecture Association should
have the support of all the people Of
Reynoldsville who are interested in in
culcating into the minds of the young
people Of this town desire for some
thing more elevating than a minstrel
show. 1t is expected that oil those who
promised will take season tickets, az IL
was considered guarantee and If there
is not enough money taken in to meet
the expense OF the course, they will be
called upon to pay in their money,
therefore, they might as well enjoy the
lectures.

Death from Cancer.

Michael Brennan, who has been
known as "Old Mike" for many years,
died about four o'clock on Thursday
morning, Dec. Goth. Mike has had
charge of the supply house Of she A. v.
Ry. at Reypoldsville for dozen or
more years. When the immense tun-
mel on the Low Grade, known as Sum-
NIT tunnel, was being made a rock fell
down on Mikes head and for time his
life was despaired Of, but he was nursed
back to health and silver plate was
put In on the top Of his head TO cover
the hole made by the rock. After that
Mike could not go out in the sun and do
a days work, therefore he was given
the position as ''stOrekeeper" for the
road He was a single man and for
many years lived alone. Several years
ago his sister, Mrs. Conway, and her
husband came TO Reynoldsville and
Mike made his home with them. AL
though his wages were not very large
he made and saved money and bought
some property in West Reynoldsville.
Last spring cancer made its appearance
on his lip. He went to Pittsburg dur
ing the summer and had the cancer
removed from his lip but soon after it
made its appearance on his left jaw and
when released from his suffering by
death almost the entire left side of his
face was eaten away. He suffered in
tensely. His funeral services were
held at the Catholic church Saturday
morning and his remains were inferred
in the Catholic cemetery. A kind
hearted Irishman has gone the way of
all humanity. Mike always greeted the
railroad boys with "Ah, my lad" or
my harty," and therefore he was well
liked and will be missed by them.

Twelve Million.

Pat Mcdonald and James Degnan, of
Reynoldsville, who have been in the
lumber business for a number of years,
had more logs in this season before
Christmas than in any former year. They
have a contract for putting in twelve
million feet for Hon. A. c. Hopkins.
Seven million will be put in at Falls
Creek, over five million OF this is al
ready in. They have twenty-one thou
sand pieces to put into the Sandy Lick
creek at this place. Twenty-Five teams,
mostly farmers teams, have been hauling
logs down Fourth and Fifth streets the
past week, working from early morning
until midnight. They averaged one
hundred logs per day and half to each
team, thus twenty-five hundred logs
daily were hauled from the woods to
the creek last week. Twelve million
feet is no small amount OF logs to cut in
the woods, haul to the creek, float to
Hopkins big mill and rip into lumber in
one year.

Well Smoked.

The thermometer indicated anything
but warm weather last Saturday and
yet on the forenoon Of that day people
who CHANGED to pass Esq. McGaw's Office

think the half dozen gentlemen "hold-
ing down" chairs in the office thought
it was midsummer. The front and
back doors were open and all the win
dows raised and the Squire was sitting
on chair on top of the safe. McGaw
is not a lover of tobacco smoke and the
gentlemen who were roasting their
shins" around the stove were also max
ing the room blue with tobacco smoke,
hence the attempt on 'Squire's part to
"freeze them OUT but they would not

Christmas Treats.

II has become almost an unchange-
BILE custom for the Sunday schools of
Reynoldsvile not to let Christmas time
pass by without going to considerable
trouble to prepare a program and also
furnish a generous supply Of candies,
nuts, oranges, apples and popcorn for
the boys and girls, faithful and unfaith-
full, who have their names on the Sun
day school records at least one or two
Sundays before Christmas. The Christ
mas of 1892 was no exception to the rule
and the various schools prepared lavish
ly for the occasion. The treat cost
some schools almost fifty dollars.

An Upset..

A number of young ladies hired a
sled Monday evening and packed into
1t for a pleasure trip to Dubois. Four
young men decided to visit the same
town and they hired two-seated sleigh.
The ladies started first and the two
seated turnout" caught up to them at
Rathmel and, OF course, was going to
drive past the fair maidens and go to
Dubois at a "two forty" rate. The
attempt was made, but when the young
men gathered themselves out of the
fence corner the young ladies were
going merrily along on their way to
Dubois. When the sleigh was turned
over on the runners again it only had
one seattle bottom of the sleigh box.
The young men got in again and
proceeded on their way, but not with
as much comfort as before the attempted
"show.off."

Major Dane at Centennial Hall.

Tho first lecture Of the course for
1923, under the auspices Of the Reyn-
oldsville Lecture Association, was
delivered by Major Henry G.. Dane, Of
Boston, In Centennial hall list Thurs
day evening before small but
appreciative audience. and from tho
time Rev Harvey Gremc Fhrbay, In
a brief bud eloquent manner, introduced
the Major until the close Of the lecture
he held the people with marked
attention His lecture, CUP the Rhine
and over the Alps with knapsack,
was instructive, contained thrilling
incidents and was interspersed with
mirth. The Major is pleasant speaker
and has wonderful descriptive ability.
While he was describing some Of the
perilous places they encountered In
climbing the Alps, and especially where
the thirteen were tied together and
the leader had 10 cut steps in the ice
and thus move one step at a time over
an ice-bound place where one misstep
would have slid the whole party into
eternity, he held the audience almost
breathless. Some people reluctantly
went To the lecture but were highly
delighted with IL and would not have
missed hearing the Major tell Of his
trip "Up the Rhine and over the Alps
with Knapsack" for the price Of II
season ticket.

II. Steamy, principal Of the borough
schools, were out on tour Of inspection

morning and visited the following places
and looked at the school houses with a
view of getting good idea Of what to
build at Reynoldsville this year: Dubois,
Punxsutawney, Bellwood, Altoona,
Johnstown, Pittsburg and vicinity.
For the amount Of money invested the
Wilmerdean, near Pittsburg, is the
best building the party visited. The
gentlemen returned Friday evening
with better knowledge Of schools and
school houses than they had when they
left home.

"The Merry Cobbler."

An immensely funny comedy, a high
~ clever star supported by an excep-

rendered by the large audience assem-
bled to witness the above performance
last evening. Mr.. Cumpson is unques-
tionably finished German dialect
comedian, irresistably humorous with
out any apparent effort. The possessor
Of voice Of rare sweetness and nexibil-
ity, his make up is good and his acting
natural and graceful he reminds one
much OF Ellis. The play Is excellent
and deals with every phase of human
life, high, low, comic and conscious.
All in all 'The Merry Cobbler," is a
splendid production, finely staged and
elegantly dressed. The specialties are
novel and what is more they are new.
