The Huntingdon Journal says
Grand Army and Union Veteran Le
gion members in every county of the
Juniata Valley have been heard from
and say that their posts and eucamp-
ments will be present at tho veteran
encampmsnt to be held here during
tho borough Centennial celebration.
The lowest estimate is that there will
be fifty organizations here and that
they will average forty members.
Besides these, there will be many vet
Grams that do not belong to either
the G.. A. r. or the U. V. L. It is
confidently expected that moro than
1000 will be in line on the day of pa
rade.
Between the hours of 8 and 9
o'clock last Friday morning, Ira NJ.
Weller, aged about 10 years, was kill
en- the railroad between Mexico and
Port Royal by passenger train No. 20.
The young man was walking on the
track eastward to look for work
where grading and curve straighten-
ing work is going on beyond Port
Royal, and on this side of Mexico a
train running west caused him to
step from the track onto the track
for east bound passenger trains. He
stepped in the way Of No. 20, and
was instantly killed. His remains
we're sent to this place and prepared
for burial. The funeral took place on
Sunday He was a son of Harrison
Weller Of Fermanagh township.
It is true thet the indebtedness of
Juniata county is large, owing to the
appropriation of the river bridges by
the county for public use, and it is
equally true that the men who are
leading off in the criticism against
the county Indebtedness were among
the leaders in advocating free bridges
and water, and sewers for the Court
House and Jail. Now that they have
those Things, they growl because they
have to help pay for them. A num-
Der of the bridges were built under
specifications drawn by Squire Viii.
liam Groningsr, and those bridges
are among the best wooden bridges
in the State. 1t is probable that the
Squirs's management seconded by
tho board of County Commissioners,
saved the county to thousand
dollars by the detailed specifications
that insured substantial wooden
bridges. The lack of such ability in
the specifications for bridges built in
Perry county and other counties,
have cost those counties many thou.
sand additional dollars.
