Baccalaureate Sermon.

DR.. David III. Wheeler. OF Meadville,
ex-president of the Allegheny College,
preached the baccalaureate sermon for
the Reynoldsville high school in the M.
f. church Sunday at ll.00 A. NJ. His
text was from Gen. XIV 30 "And Esau
said, behold, am at the point to die:
and what profit shall this birthright do
to me-" The sermon was very able
one. The services were two hours long,
the sermon occupied an hour and ten
minutes, but the Rev. DR.. held the close
attention of his audience through the
entire sermon. The pulpit was filed
with beautiful potted plants in bloom.
The high school colors were entwined
around the railing of the pulpit.
DR.. Wheeler also preached to a large
congregation in the NJ. f. church Sun

heaps Of trials, troubles and tribulations
during that time, so saith he, which
has been the result of the matrimonial
alliance aforesaid. Mike says that he
has worked hard the past three or four
years to pay all his honest debts, but 1t
has been up hill business under the
existing circumstances. Several days
ago he returned home to find that the
wife of his bosom had flown to parts un-
known, and now he has broken up

Entering Sixth Year.

With this issue The STAR enters its
sixth year. During the five years OF
its existance THE STAR has endeavored
to give those who subscribe and pay
for the paper. these who subscribe and
don't pay. and those who borrow the
paper from their neighbors, all the
local news. We have tried to use all
people fair in giving the news Of the
town. We have published items that
made people cross. and, Of course. we
are usually informed Of our meanness
for so doing, but II we say something
nice about people it is very seldom we
hear anything about that. We have no
desire to make enemies, II is not our
nature so to do. but while attempting
to run newspaper we expect to give
the news, and people who don't want to
see their names in print when they have
broken the law or raised the duce in
general. had better consider the matter
before hand and not do the things that
they object to having appear in the
newspaper.
We thank those who have given us
their subscriptions and support in the
past and hone to he able to merit a con-
tinuance Of the same in the future, and
in the mean time keep THE STAR up
with the times and by so doing increase
the circulation and advertising patron
age of the paper. We don't want to
blow our own horn, and will only ask
those who are not already subscribers
to examine the paper and II they think
it is worth the subscription price asked
to subscribe, and If not worth the money
then don't take it.

Railroad Extension Revived.

A corps OF engineers went to work
last Wednesday morning surveying
down the Mahoning creek from PUNK
sutawney, along the line of the proposed
extension of the Buffalo. Rochester &
Pittsburg R'y from Punxs'y to Pitts
burg. There has been so much news
paper talk about the extension Of this
road that the public will believe it when
the work Of grading has been commence
ed. However, there seems to be
grounds for the belief that the company
means business this time. The sale of
$1,000, 600 bonds by the B r. & p. Co.
recently would strengthen the belief
that they contemplate new construction
or extensive repairs. The Lindsey
Press says there is possibility that
the present move is only with the in
tention OF extending the line down to
the vicinity of Perrysville in order to
get limestone from that place to the
furnace here.

and ran down the middle of the walk to
Fourth, out Fourth to the alley, up the

Alexander had left his bicycle leaning
against the iron railing in front of Hotel

in Bobby Thomas barber shop, and the
cart caught Fred's bicycle on the fly

Besides breaking the cart, harness and

did no other damage. 1t was almost q
