The Tenth Annual Convention of
the Christian Endeavor societies of
Pennsylvania will be held this year in
Scranton, Oct. 6, 7, and 9th. The
Scranton Union and the state officers
are putting forth every effort to make
this the best one of the ten. They
should receive the hearty cooperation
of every society in the state. Especi-
ally should the societies in those
counties near the convention city feel
responsibility in this matter.
The societies of the Bi-county
Union composed of Montour and
Columbia counties, in having the
convention so near, are favored with
an opportunity for attending that may
not come to them again in many
years. Every society should send at
least one delegate and as many more
as possible.

Mr.. H. o. McHenry of Benton has
Invented very useful appliance that
must yet come into prominence upon
the markets of the country. 1t is
nothing more or less than button
fastener or holder, a simple contri-
vance to prevent the tearing out of
buttons on mems pants aud overalls.
Owing to the frequent complaints of
buttons tearing out made to him
while selling pants and overalls, Mr..
McHenry set himself about devising
some means to remedy the defect,
resulting in his inventing simple,
practical and durable contrivance for
that purpose which he has had patent
ed. 1t is certainly meritorious in
vention, and we trust Mr.. McHenry
may reap a munificent reward for his

LOCKED OUT,

The Farmers National Bank for
several days last week transacted
business under considerable difficulty.
Wednesday of last week the door of
the vault which is operated by time
locks failed to open at the usual hour,
and after several Intellectual attempts
to open the same, an expert was sent
for who arrived from Stamford, Conn,
last Thursday evening. For. several
days he and A. c. DeSheppard, lock-
smith of this place, worked on the
same and 1t was not until Sunday
night that an entrance was effected,
which was done by making an open
ing in the wall of the vault which
enabled them to get at the inside of
the door. The lock out was caused
by the "dogs" not working properly.

Of Interest to Old Vets"

General Mulholland, the United
States pension agent at Philadelphia,
has issued letter in which he directs
attention to the act of congress, ap-
proved August 23, 1894, requiring
fourth class postmasters to administer
oaths to pensioners and their witnesses
to pension vouchers. This will be a
great convenience to thousands of
pensioners throughout the country,
as, in many cases, they are obliged to
travel several miles to reach a justice
of the peace.

An exchange remarks that the man
who gets the fewest letters complains
the most of the post Office the man
who complains of the preacher pays
the preacher the least; the man who
complains the most of his neighbors
is the meanest neighbor and the man
who has the least sense is the most
conceited. 1t may also be added that
the man who borrows his neighbor's
paper has the most fault to find with
the way it is run.
