while Messrs. Northrop and Prall were

some OF the features of their play could
hardly be excelled. Our boys then took

Decoration Day.

Decoration Day was observed in this
city pretty much in the usual manner.
One special feature was the flag raising
at St. Johns CIR. c. school. The child
rem of the school gave some excellent
Rotations and singing, and Father Doyle,
of New York, made tip top out-of door
speech, in which both wit and patriotism
strove for the mastery. His utterauces
awakened the most hearty applause by
the large concourse of people. "Old
Glory " was run up TO the top of the flag
staff, and hearty cheers were given it,
The children, no doubt, will long remem-
Der the occasion.
In the afternoon, Post 90, G. A. R.,
marched to Mount Hope Cemetery, where
Rev. Thos. Hanlon, d. D., President of
Pennington Seminary, delivered an ad
dress of great interest. He told of the
scenes connected with the rebellion, and
held the attention of the people through
out. Dr.. Hanlon is always interesting
and eloquent and always manages 10 keep
his auditors in good humor. His host
of old friends in this city were glad to
hear him once more.
At the close of the address the usual
ceremonies were gone through with.
Altogether, it was day that the old
veterans will long remember.

Marion County, Arkansas.

OF course you have heard of Marion
County, Arkansas. You have heard that
it sent to the Worlds Fair at Chicago the
largest piece of zinc orc the world had
ever seen, weighing ~, 800 lbs. You do
not know perhaps that the mine from
which il was taken was sold five years ago
for 800, and can not be bought to day
for 5000, 000 although it is rs miles from
a railroad, you do not know perhaps
that there are many other zinc mines in
Marion county, now worth from 80,
to $50, 600 that could have been bought
for from SO to $50 per acre, in an unde-
veloped state. You do not know, perhaps
that there has never been a shaft sunk to
n depth of 80 feet anywhere in this county
without striking rich lead, zinc, copper or
marble. You 90 not know that experts
believe that paying ore can be found In
any part of the county by sinking a shaft
from 20 to 200 feet deep. You do know
that capitalists have bought up most Of
the zinc land and stand ready TO buy the
remainder as soon AS II railroad is started
toward this county. You do not know
that such road will be started this year,
and that mining lands will go out OF sight
as soon as the road is started. If you are
wise you will get at least one acre of this
land before il is too late. When the road
comes you eau either sink shaft on it,
lease il, or sell i, and make from 100 to
10, 600 per cent on your investment |

all alike as all are within half mile OF

When the shower came up last Mon
day afternoon, Frederick Lindabury, Cor
nelius Moore (who works for him), mn
two other men, went into Mr.. Lindabury's
wagon house, situate two and half miles
west of Remington, on the road TO Saud
Brook Presently bolt of lightning
struck the bniding, knocking all the men
down but Mr.. Moore, and he had the skin
peeled off of his knuckles by the flying
splinters. The three men regained con-
sciousness within five minutes and were
able to arise, though all felt the effects of
the shock for several days afterwards.
The wagon house was not set on fire, nor
was it seriously damaged. A shepherd
dog belonging to Mr.. Lindabury, and
which was with the men in the building,
was killed, and a turkey gobbler standing
near by was badly crippled. A small
part of the electric fluid branched off from
the main line and tore great hole in the
top of Mr.. Lindabury's buggy wagon. AL
together it was a narrow escape for the
men. -Hunterlon Democrat.

We have in the past six months been face

other kindred diversions have, on the con.
trary, helped to relieve the strain and to
maintain the national cheerfulness. 1t is
true that we ought to view with solemn
nifty and alarm the lawless spirit shown by
companies of men who have lodged de-
putty marshals, police squads and cavalry
detachments, while speeding across coun-
try on railroad trains borrowed without
consent of the owners. Yet to be per-
fectly frank and truthful, we must con-
fess that almost everybody has looked on
with more amusement than solemnity.
When the business revival comes and
work is plenty, the temptation to steal
rides and go to Washington in advocacy
of Mr. Coxey's good roads bill and other
theoretical propositions, will! vanish as by
magic. II is worth while TO note the fact
that the "armies" have been treated with
almost universal kindness by the people
along their routes of travel and apart
from their evil propensity for stolen rides,
the banded Adventures have done no harm
worth mentioning. II has been a great
mistake TO denounce them as if they were
bands OF criminals or anything else than
what they are, namely, bodies of Ameri-
can pilgrims bound on a merely fantastic

Celebration of the Centennial Anniversary
of the Presbyterian Church at
FlemfnRfon

Pennington.
The celebration of the centennial of the
founding of the Presbyterian Church at
Pennington, aud the twenty fifth year of
the pastorate of the Rev. George s. Mott,
ID. d., takes place this week. The SER
les OF services began on Sunday, and
many prominent Presbyterians were pre-.
sent.
The church was founded in 1894 on the
site of famous old tavern. 1t was
branch of the church at Reavillc, in which
Whitfield preached in 1880. Some of the
most prominent lawyers and politicians
in the history of New Jersey were at one
time connected with the Pennington
church.
The present pastor went there in 1869.
Under his ministry the congregation has
grown until the membership is now $50,
or more than quarter of the entire popu
lation Of the town. DR.. Mott has been
minister for forty years and has had on
ly three charges. His first charge was
the Second Presbyterian Church, of r h.
way. From there he went 10 Newton,
Sussex county, where he remained for
ten years. Then he took charge of the
Pennington church. A new and hand.
SOME editice was erected a few years ago.
One of the remarkable features connect
ed with the history OF The church is that
three pastorates practically covered CEN
fury. The Rev. DIR. Joseph Clark, Rev.
DR.. John l.. Janeway and DIR. Mott, were
the clergymen who occupied the pulpit
in that period. There were three other
ministers late in the last aud early in this
century, but each remained only short
time.
The following is the programme for the
series of exercises
