OBITUARY.

MRS. ALMA MIX, nee Woodwork,
whose demise was noted in these col
umns last week, was, at the time of her
death, one of the few remaining pio-
neer resident is of this section, having
been born near the present site of Ben
nezette, on May 26th, 1928. Her par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. rs.-Woodworth, were
among the early settlers of that section
and they carved out of the virgin for
est home for themselves and children.
In those early days the settlers were
called upon to endure hardship and
privation. The nearest stores were
at Lock Haven, Bellefonte, and Olean,
n. Y, where they had to journey for
their supplies, and in many instances
the mills for grinding the grain they
raised were score or more miles dis
tant and frequently the men carried
bag of wheat or grain that distance
to have it made into flour. The women
and girls learned to spin end weave
and they made all the clothing for their
families. Under such conditions Miss
Woodworth spent the early years of
her life.
On the I'd day of July, 1910, at the
age of II years, she was married to Mr.
Hezekiah Mix, of Gibson township, in
what was then Clearfield county, then
Elk, and now Cameron county. The
young couple soon founded a home
and they retained it together until the
husbands death, on Nov. 4th, 1898, a
period of over SO years. Seven child
rem, all girls, were born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Mix. Three of them, Delihah,
Catherine and Phoeba, died in infancy
while the others, Nancy Ellen, Eliza
Ann, Mary Emma and Clara Louise,
grew to womanhood and married. OF
these but one, Clara Louise, now Mrs.
j. o. Brookbank, survive their mother.
Mrs. MIX died on Sept. 25th, 1899,
aged rs years, four months and 19 days.
The illness which finally caused her
death covered a period of several years
but she bore her suffering with chris
tian fortitude, calmly and patiently
awaiting the call of the Master to that
bourne where peace and everlasting life
supplant sorrow and disappointment of
our feeting moments upon earth.--
Mrs. MIX was universally loved and
respected and the full sympathy of her
sorrowing friends goes out to the sur
viving members of her family. Inter-
ment was made in the family plot in
Oak Hill cemetery on Wednesday,
Sept. 9th, 1899. Rev Ebersole, of the
Advent church, officiated, assisted by
Rev. E. G. Piper, of the M. E. church.

BRIEF nENTION.

Vacant private residences are getting
to be scarce article in Emporium.
Six families moved to town on Mon
day and still there is more to come.
M. T. Hogan has force of masons
at work building the foundations for
his new block on Fourth street.
On Monday morning, train No. IS,
east, and the Driftwood gravel train
collided near Sterling Run, and done
considerable damage, delaying Erie
mail two hours and half
B. w. Green, and G. w. Shaffer have
moved into their new offices over the
bank, and now occupy one of the most
convenient and tastily arranged suite
of law offices in this section.
On account OF the absence of the
pastor no public preaching will be held
in the M. E. church ON Sunday. Sab

League vespry services as ZOO p. m.
The mother who would have her
children healthy must not be afraid to
have them occasionally dirty. While
cleanliness is next to godliness, there
is clean dirt that comes from contact
with the earth that's wholesome. Have
the little ones bathed frequently, insist
that they come to meals with immacu-
late hands and faces, but, between
meals, have them so dressed that they
are free to run and romp as they will,
is the advice which a prominent physi-
clan gives.

What a Baby Can Do.

1t can wear out pair of kid shoes in
twenty-four hours.
1t can keep its father busy advertis-
ing in the newspaper for a nurse.
1t can occupy both sides of the larg-
est bed manufactured, simultaneously.
1t can cause it's father to be insulted
by every second-class clearinghouse
keeper at the seaside, who "never
take children" which in nine cases out
of ten is fortunate for the children
1t can make itself look like fiend
just when mamma wants to show
what pretty baby she has.
1t can make an old bachelor in the
adjoining room use language that, il
uttered in the street, would get him in
prison for two years.-Penny Maga-
zine.

The Waterman Phrase Contest.

The contest for gold mounted
Waterman fountain pen, given by the
social department of the Epworth
League, last Friday evening, along
with very entertaining program, was
a decided success. The entertainment,
by excellent talent, was highly appre-
ciated by all, and the performers did
credit to themselves as we'll as to the
town. Some fifty persons out of the
hundred present engaged III the con-
test for the pen, and after careful
and thorough examination of the
papers, Miss Blanche Ludlam was
awarded the prize. At the close of the
program each one present was given a
satin book mark-a souvenir of the
occasion. The League here is pros
pering and the young people of that
society show superior tact in the act of
entertaining audiences, and should be
encouraged. This society has a pleas
ant manner of entertaining people
and at the same time uplifting them
spiritually-and do it as though they
did it not.

WINS ANOTHER GATE,
The First Application Given Smeth-
port at Port Allegany Rubbed In at
Emporium by q Score of II too


The local base ball diamond was the
scene of a lively and interesting game.
last Thursday afternoon, when the
crack Smethport team crossed bats
with Emporium and met their second
defeat of the season. These teams
are pretty evenly matched and furn-
ished one of the prettiest contests ever
seen here. The game was close and
exciting up to the fifth inning, when
Smethport punched their hits and
batted in three runs giving them lead
which looked dangerouz for the home
team, but in the next three innings
Emporium found Fuller's delivery and
batted in ten runs, gaining lead that
the visitors could not overtake. In
these three innings Emporium had the
visitors chasing leather so fast that
they were all run together like a foot
ball eleven and some of the players, in
their frenzy, went so far as to make
'foul tackles" on our base runners.
The features of the game were the
stick work of the Friels, Stout and
Quinn for Emporium, and Fuller and
Keefer for the visitors; the one-hand
catch of liner and double play by
Will Friel, and the impartial decisions
of Umpire Joe Harris.
The following is the official score, as
taken for the PRESS:

SMETHPORT



Whose next?
A large crowd attended the game.
Fuller seemed to weaken toward the
last
De 'rooters'' certainly did Git in
DER work.
The boys did well at their dance in
the evening.
Wonder what the Jerseys" think of
Emporium now.
The home team gave some nice ex-
hibitions of base running.
Quinn put Keefer's eye in mourning
when he stopped him at first.
Farrell got high fly that he did not
have to move out of his tracks for.
Two brothers, Messrs. Will and Fritz
Seger were respective managers of the
opposing teams.
Overturf played neat game in the
diamond, but was up against streak
of hard luck at the bat.
That was an exhibition of "Girty''
ball playing that our people do not
like when the visitors first baseman
interfered with Quinn when he was
running out nice hit that was labeled
for three bases.

"GOd's RuIin this Universe Yet"

When you're feelin' blamed tough cause the
world treat you rough,
An things never seem to go right,
When you're credit you bust, an you're eyed with
distrust,
An the future don't look very bright,
Don't give up an cry, an wish you could die,
Just huste-its no use to fret
There's room for you still, if You work with a
will
Gods rulin this universe yet.
No use to get blue-take happier view,
Keep you're courage a-boomin' at par,
If you're made of right stuff, don't you take any
bluff,
Always let people know where you are
Strike out for the right an your weaknesses light,
An you'll soon at the pinnacle get,
The right will prevail-never knew it to fall
Gods rulin' this universe yet
When trials come fast an your sky's overcast
With mighty thick lowerin' cloud,
An you hopelessly try to reason out why
Your sun wears dark dismal shroud
Don't doubt Providence cause you're held in
suspense,
An your way with aifiiction's beset
Look up with a smile trustin' God all the while
He's rulin' this universe yet.

Big Potatoes.

VIM. Jordan, of Moore Hill, brought
to this office last Saturday, some prize
potatoes grown on his farm at the
above place. There were eleven of
them, each one weighing over pound
and together would more than fill a
peck measure. In fact they have kept
a family of four persons in potatoes
since Saturday and they are not half
gone yet, and it might be we'll to state
that the family is not Dutch at that
price.

newspaper publishers can have arrest
ed for fraud any one who takes a paper
and refuses to pay for it. Under this
law the man who allows his subscrip-

or orders the postmaster to mark it
refused" and send postal card noti-
flying the publishers, lays himself
liable to arrest and fine, the same as
