liams' Grove, next week. and they
can also find much OF interest aud
profit. They can see acres Of i'm
proved farming machinery, the lat.
est processes of dairying, herds OF
fine stock and many inventions in
every department of agriculture.
Special and regular trains on
the G. Y. r. r. and branches at

outing cheap and profitable. Tues
day, August Gath, at the Grove win
be Temperance Day, and DR.. Swal-
low will be there Wednesday will
be Womsn's Day Thursday.
Grange Day, and Friday Politicians
Day. so there is something new and
attractive every day. Entries Of

ensued between Smith and Reed, as
to which was to take a young lady
home, in which blows were exchang.
ed and led to the shooting Smith
said that he would not have shot,
but that Reed struck him in the eye
with stone before he fred. Smith
carries black eye. He said the
shooting of Miller was accidental,
as both shots were fired at Reed.

How THE LUTHERAN REUNION
ORIGINATED.-It will be matter of
interest to our Lutheran people in
this city to know how the annual
Lutheran Reunions ut Pen.Mar ori-
ginated. In 1886 several clergymen
were standing in front of the Eagle
Hotel, in Gettysburg. Their con-
versation turned upon church tel.
lowship, and in order TO increase
this fellowship, Rev. W. C. Wire,
Hagerstown Rev. J. G. Morris,
d. D., Baltimore Rev. A. s. Hart
man, D. D., of Chambersburg, and
several other gentlemen resolved
themselves into a committee to ar
range and perpetrate an annual Re-
union. The custom of holding the
Reunion has suffered no lack of in
terest as she recent gathering at
that place attested. 1t has been de-
cided to hold the next Reunion the
fourth Thursday in July, 1897.
