Ok Roast at Sykesville.

The OK roast at Sykesville last Thurs
day was great success financially,
socially and every other way. The re-
ceipts OF the day amounted to almost
100000 Early in the forenoon the peo-
Pile began to assemble from far and near
and by the time dinner was ready there
was large crowd in Romantic park.
There were only tickets enough sold at
one time to fill all the long tables that
were spread under the friendly shade
OF the towering trees, and those who
were slow about buying their tickets
for dinner were not admitted to the
spacious dining room when the stentor-
ious voice OF w. A. London proclaimed
that dinner was ready. Ye scribe was
among the number to get in first, and
consequently, had the first chance at
the good things provided, but the sup
ply was so great that for two or three
hours hungry crowds were admitted
within the gates and were given plenty
to eat. The dinner was excellent, in
fact was better than might be expected
on such an occasion. The OK (which
was a two-year-old heifer) was nicely
cooked. The entire affair was we'll
managed, for which the Ladies' Aid
Society, and the gentlemen who assist
ed, all deserve credit.

Another Express Company.

We understand that the American
Express Company will open an Office at
this place the first Of September and
that Il. c. Davis will be the agent here.
A few years ago the American Express
Company had an agent at Reynoldsville,
but at that time there were no regular
passenger trains into town over the r.
g. F. G. R'y and the express had to be
hauled from Falls Greek on freight
trains, which made too much trouble
for the agent, F. p. Adelsperger, for
the pay that was in it at that time, and
it was abandoned. 1t is different now
with two passenger trains day each
way and good prospect of at least two
more. The American Express Agency
here has been badly needed and our
business men will be glad to have it re-
established.
