Children's Day as observ, d at the
Second Presbyterian Church last Sun
day was a decided success from start to
finish. The church was handsomely
decorated for the occasion with beau.
tiful flowers; a number of song birds
also poured forth their sw letest strains
of music and seemed to enjoy it all as
much "a anyone. The songs and reci-
tations of the children were beautiful
beyond compare, hardly ave- equalled
and never excelled. The remarks of
Mr.. Bigler, the pastor, were very appro-
pirate to the occasion. In fact every
thing was nice as could be, and every
body certainly enjoyed it all.
Having heard that some one was re-
porting pensioners in the vicinity of
Telfords, we suggested that a special
examiner be sent there to investigate
the reporter, whoever it might be. In
reply to this suggestion we have a let.
ter from a friend of ours admitting
that he reported two, and only two
pensioners, giving his reasons for doing
SO, with a request that we publish the
same over his signature. We supposed
it vas the work of some pension hater''
and naturally deserved the investiga-
ton in order to locate the party and
his mission, but being assured by the
writer that he has grievances against
the parties to justify his course, and
that there is no politics in it, we must
decline to publish either side of a purely
personal matter as no names have ap.
peared in our paper on either side.
During the last week house breaking
has been quite a common thing in our
town. But so far no great injury has
resulted from it. The chief object of
the thieves seems to,.be something to
eat, as the dining rooms and kitchens
are usually the apartments entered.
If this is their object, and if the intrud-
ers can be caught, it might be we'll
for the people to set their tables and
leave the door open, and evade break
ing locks and the excitement caused at
the coming of their unwelcomed visi-
tors. The following persons have been
trouble by these hungry friends: M. L.
Peoples, |. N. Babb, the Warner Insti-
tute, Thomas Deer, j. d. Cox, j. M.
Osborne and others whose names we
have not learned. In some of the above
cases the attempt to get in have been
Intellectual. A few shots have been
fired, but to no effect, as we have heard.
You will notice that the most of the
work has been done in the eastern part
of the town. We hereby give notice
and declare that the other end Of the
town has as much to eat as the east emo
and that it would be well for them tC
let the people of the east end rest for O
few days. Can't something be done tc
stop this before something serious re
suits from it?
