strength of electric currents was first
called "an smpere" by the French

being given to it in honor of Andre
Marie Ampere, the French scientist,
who elucidated the theory that the

of electric currents circulating around
it from east to west.-Chicago Times

There is genuine and counterfeit

but never until multitudes have been
swindled and robbed by the fraud, or
counterfeit. This is true in all
business, social and religious affairs

Their assortment Of goods and holi-
day novelties is one of the largest in
the Town. A visit to the store room
must be made to appreciate this fact.

want here. They have gifts suitable
for any one, and at prices which you
can afford to pay. You can purchase
anything in the drygoods line from
spool of cotton, up. Their stock of
uueensware and china is full and

we could suggest would suit your wife
better than a set of dishes. You can
get it here. The quality of the goods
will be guaranteed, and the price will
be right.

that dress which you have SO long
intended buying. We can please
you, Cashmere, Henrietta, or Serges

MUSICALE AT THE NORMAL.

The Mendelssohn musicale at the
Normal Auditorium was attended by
not only the students of the school,
but by large number ofthe residents
of Town, to whom an invitation had
been issued. A carefully written
biography of Mendelssohn was read
by Miss Ethel Vance of Anderson
N. c. She was followed by Miss
Grace Housel, who rendered in a
very acceptable manner a piano
number, which was succeeded by the
semi chorus of girls, who sang fine
selection. A piano trio was next on
the program, which was followed by
the Serenade Club of mandolin and
guitars. This was highly appreciated,
hut the club did not respond to the
encore Miss Geisinger rendered the
Scherzo in f minor in a beautiful
manner. Mr.. Fred Miller next enter
tanned the audience with a violin solo,
and it was at once apparent that he
was an artist. After a beautiful song
by Miss Powell, the Normal Orchestra
rendered the Wedding March. They
have a fine reputation which they
fully sustained last Friday evening
The exercises were brought to close
with a chorus of about twenty voices
They rendered a number from the
oratorio Elijah.

TURKEY THIEVES.

If there is any kind of thief that
is more contemplate than any other,
it is the cowardly midnight sneak who
steals poultry. Last week we supposed
that we were all fixed for good
Christmas dinner. In our poultry
yard was fine gobbler that weighed
nearly twenty-five pounds, and we
didn't dream that the man existed
who was so mean that he would rob
an editor. But there is just exactly
that kind of pimp in Bloomsbury,
and on Friday morning last We found
our hen house doors open, and the
turkey was gone. We are informed
that many people in town have had
turkeys stolen recently, and those who
have not lost any had better guard
them well. We believe one person is
doing the stealing, and there are a
few things that point suspicious!y in a
certain direction, and a watch has
been set on the tracks of the suspect
ed party.

GOLDEN WEDDING.

On Saturday, Dec. I4th, about
eighty persons assembled at the house
of Mr. and Mrs. John Neyhard in
Orangeville, to celebrate their fiftieth
marriage anniversary. Pleasant inter
course was held, and many hearty
congratulations were extended to the
aged couple. Mr.. Neyhard is the
father of ten children: Mrs. A. B.
Herring, by his first wife, and the
following by his present wife: Frances,
who was accidently killed by the cars
near Espy, over twenty FIVE years ago,
Isaiah, Amos, William, Agnes, Callie,
Mrs. Eliza Stoker, Mrs. Maggie
Mathers, and Mrs. Mary DIETRICH of
Oregon. All the surviving children
were present except the last named,
who however, in anticipation of the
event, sent some delicious prunes
from her adopted State on the Pacific.
A sumptuous dinner was served, and
all partook of the same with apparent
relish. AT an opportune time the
pastor, Rev. A. Houtz, delivered a
suitable address, and in prayer
thanked the Great Father for the
blessings of the past, and invoked
His guardianship upon the aged
couple. 1t was his privilege also, to
present as the gifts of the children,
a pair of gold spectacles to the
mother, and a gold headed cane to
the father, and as a gift of the friends
present, a purse containing silver,
gold and bank notes, to the amount
of over forty dollars. Thus pleas
antly ended the celebration of the
fftieth marriage anniversary of Mr.
and Mrs. John Neyhard, an event
which only a few married couples are
permitted to celebrate. A. H.
