Shot in the Leg.

\ chap named LOREN Mosier,
formerly a resident of Bcechwood,
kicked up row in d. w. Dono-
vans S restaurant, last Tuesday and
threw beer bottle at a customer.
Mr.. Donovan issued a warrant for
the chaps arrest and placed the
same in Sheriff Mundy's hands,
who found his man near G. b.
Howard's store, Tuesday evening.
The Sheriff notified him that he
had a warrant for his arrest, when
Mosier took to his heels. Sheriff
Mundy fired low in order to give
him warning that he meant bust
ness. The ball evidently glanced
and struck Mosier in the fleshy
part of the left leg, but he kept on
running and plunged through the
creek, taking a position on an
island, where he sat until evening.
He had not been captured at last
account.

General Orders No. s.
HEADQUARTERS G. A. r.
PHILADELPHIA, April 20, 1899.


COMRADES: In accordance with the
requirements and customs of our Order
the Senior Vice-Commander-in- Chief
calls attention to the approaching Me-
mortal Day. May 30th, 1899, confident
that every member of the Grand Army
of the Republic will unite in paying our
annual tribute of flag and flowers to
the memory of men who, in days gone
by, fought for the unity of the Nation,
the purity and truth of the flag, and
who stood ready to yield up their lives
to secure to us as people the inestim-
able blessings of liberty.
The year closing with the next Me-
mortal Day has added new strength
and power to the Nation and new glory
to the flag. The worth and fame of
the American soldier and sailor has
been gloriously advanced. The achiev-
ments of the "days of the sixties'' still
remain, and have rendered possible the
glorious victories won in the interests
of liberty and humanity. Let us, then,
on Memorial Day, strew Springs
choicest flowers in tenderness and love
upon the grave of every defender of
the Republic, and in song, story and
! fitting ceremony recall the services
and unmatched sacrifice of those
who, sleeping in the gardens of the sea
or in the bosom of the Nation, their
place of sepulchre unmarked and un-
known, gave not only their lives but
their very name for their country.
The men whose memory is perpet-
uated by the loving service of Memo
rial Day were part of the greatest Com
radeship the world has ever known
Let us, who still survive, be so earnest
in our tribute, so pure in our Affection
and SO loving in our remembrance of
them, that the lessons of patriotism
which we teach shall find lodgment
in the hearts of all the people, binding
all together in devotion to flag and
country.
IL. 1t is enjoined upon every Post
that in accordance with a custom now
firmly established, they attend Divine
service on the Sunday preceding Me-
mortal Day.
III. The Thirtieth National En-.
campment provided that the reading of
President Lincoln's Address at Gettys-
burg be made a special feature in all
Memorial Day exercises conducted un-
der the auspice of the Grand Army of
the Republic. The address is publish
ed herewith. Commanders of Posts
will direct that it be read in connec.
ton with the exercises of the day. By
command of

Business Booming at the Furniture
Factory.

1t is with very great pleasure we
note the rapidly increasing bust
ness enjoyed by the Mankey Fur
niture Company, of this place.
The general boom in business
throughout the country is gradu-
ally striking this section and the
furniture trade, so long quiet, is on
the upward bound. The excellent
reputation of the furniture manu-
factured by this company is meeting
the business world in the front rank
and large orders are now booked
ahead, far exceeding any previous
time in the history Of the enter
prise. This will be good news to
our people, as well as to all parties
directly interested in the plant.
Meeting, as did this establishment,
many financial obstacles during
the past few years, it has required
a large amount of hard work and
careful management on the part Of
of b. w. Green, the Receiver, as
well as c. +. Mankey and A. c.
Blum, his assistants, and other
employees, to start the business ON
a frmer footing and to-day a
brighter and more prosperous
future is in store for them as a
result of their labors.
While the Press has no desire
to interfere with the private busi-
ness of the interested parties, we
honestly believe that now is THE
time for them, as we'll as our en-
terprising citizens in general, TO
place their shoulders to the wheel
and aid in placing this important
industry upon a lirmer financial
basis. How can we accomplish it,
you ask? Join hands with the Re
ceiver, confer with and encourage
him, as well as those Immediately
associated in the business, and
show by your actions that you not
only desire the upbuilding of this
business, but that you wish to
see a paying institution well estab-
/ lished.

Big gfcy Day.

Last Monday was a remarkable
day in the history of Emporium,
vet few of our citizens seemed to
realize it, yet it is a fact. The
combined wages paid by the Gil
max Powder Co., Mankey Furni-
ture Co., G. b. Howard & Co.,
Emporium Milling Co., Emporium
Machine Co., and railroads, exceed
ed the sum ever paid in one day
during the history of Emporium.
We are not dead.

VIII Resume.

The Elk Tanning Company have
issued orders to resume work at
the Sterling Run Tannery, which
has been idle 50 long. Workmen
are now engaged and soon the
hustling little town will put on
that air of prosperity formerly enjoy
ed by that people. Hides will
commence to arrive this week.
We understand that carpenters
and machinists are rebuilding the
work, the intention being to make
a long run. Supt. Norris and fore
man Norton are up to their eyes in
work.

Vetoed the Salary Bill.

Gov. Stone vetoed The County
Supt. Salary bill, amending the act
fixing the salaries of public school
superintendent. The Gov. says:
II am of the opinion that there is
no reason for presuming that the
school directors of amy county are
not capable of fixing the value of
the services of the county superin-
tendent. In my judgment there
has been no such abuse of their
prerogative in this particular as
iustiiies me in approving a bill
which is reflection upon their in
telligence or their fairness. J."

Birthday Party.

Last Tuesday was happy day
with the representatives of the
Logan family, at this place, the
occasion being the celebration of
mother Logan's S5th anniversary.
Assembled at the residence of her
only son, John d. Logan, Esq,
agent of Adams Express Company,
at this place, were all the vener-
BILE lady's children: Mrs. Sallie L.
McCloskey. of Williamsburg, Pa,
Mrs. Lide M. Corwin, William
sport, Pa, and Mrs. |. X. Hook
ley and family. 1t is not neces-
sary to say that the happy group
of children and grandchildren
made the occasion full of pleasure
for mother Logan, as well as those
of the several families present.
The Press is pleased to note that
this lady is enjoying good health
and is able to paddle her own
canoe" about the house and not
bother the younger folks to assist
her up or down stairs. 1t is a
pleasure to see one of her advanced
age enjoying life and aiding in
making those around her happy.
One of the children remarked to
We editor that mother is enjoying
herself in her old days as much as
though a Queen" The Logan
children certainly have always
honored and respected their
mother and no kindness or atten-
ton has been denied her.

LINCoLN's GETTYSBURG ADDRESS.


Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought fourth on this conti-
nent new nation, conceived in liberty
and dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created equal. Now we
are engaged in great civil war, test
ing whether that nation, or any nation
so conceived and so dedicated, can long
endure. We are met on great battle
field of that war. We have come to
dedicate portion of that field, as a
final resting place for those VINO here
gave their lives that that nation might
live. 1t is altogether fitting and proper
that we should do this But in a larger
sense, we cannot dedicate-we cannot
conservative cannot hallow- this
ground. The brave men, living and
dead, who struggled here, have conse-
Grated it, far above our poor power to
add or detract. The world will little
note, nor long remember, what we say
here, but it can never forget what it
did here. 1t is for us the living, rather,
to be here dedicated to the unfinished
work which they who fought here have
thus far so nobly advanced. 1t is
rather for us to be here dedicated to
the great task remaining before us
that from these honored dead we take
| increased devotion to that cause for
which they gave their last full measure
ofdevotion-that we here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died in
vain-that this nation under God, shall
have a new birth of ffreedom-and that
| government of the people, by the peo.
| pie, for the people, shall not perish
| from the earth.

The drinking fountains should be

is TO feed powdered chalk in the soft
