In MemoriaI.l.

While sOrrowful memories may
flood the mind and reach the inner
most rccesses of the heart, awakening
anguish, yet sucn memories may
inspire the soul. The good that
mcn do lives after them, and il is the
memory Of a life which, however
short, made its impress, that keeps its
virtues as fresh and fragrant as the
tributes sweeter than words, that
loving hands bestow.
1t is fitting that memorial be kept
TO one who was worthy. to one who
IN all the walks of life proved himself
a man, and one who left a. his own
memorial the priceless heritage of a
good name.

Daniel OdeII Stricken

Dan Odell, of North Union street,
had a stroke of paralysis Monday
morninggbetween and 9 O'Clock, which
rendered his whole right side useless,
besides depriving him of his speech.
His condition is very serious and he
may not be able to withstand the
shock. At any rate he is helplessly
crippled for life.-Olean Democrat.
Mr.. Odell, who was formerly resi-
dent of Emporium, is father to Ora
Odell, of this place. Up to this Tues
day. we have been unable to learn the
full particulars of Mr.. Odelrs misfor-
tune, but shall endeavor to ascertain
his condition before going to press.
We hope our old friend will rally from
the shock and live many years.
LATERAL the hour of going to
press we learn from the relatives of
MIR. Odell, in this place, that he is
slowly recovering and is not as bad as
reported above. We are glad to learn
this.

Our old friend, and one of Cameron's

fishing and hunting. In recent letter

Quite Seriously Injured.

Several days ago Chester Hockey,
Geo. Hockey and Chas. Hockey start
ed on their wheels for their annual
visit to friends in Williamsport, Wat
sontown and Muncy, expecting at the
latter place to have grand time on
grandfather's farm. All went merrilly
until Monday when the boys each
mounted horse and started down the
old familiar road. One of the horses
felt his oats and corn and became un-
and pulled for some trees. Chester
stuck to his back until the horse threw
him with great force against large
chestnut tree, injuring his left hip quite
seriously. His companions were COM
PEELED to leave him lying in the field
until they fastened back to the farm
for horse and carriage, when he was
conveyed to the DOCTORS for treatment.
The doctor found no bones broken but
the patient in great pain and seriously
bruised. The boys claim that if Ches-
ter had struck his head against the tree
it would have killed him, so hard was
he thrown. The young man was
brought to his home at this place Tues
day evening and conveyed to the home
of his father, Mr.. A Hockey, where
DR.. 4. w. Baker is attending him. He
will no doubt be confined to his home
for some time.

PLEASANT SOCIAL EVENT.

Last Thursday evening a crowd of
our young people gave a party at
Wiley's grove in honor of Mr.. and Mrs.
Josiah Howard's guests, Mrs. George
Goshorn and son, George Hoffman
Goshorn, of Charleston, w. Va, and
Miss Mingle of New York City
Nine o'clock found a gay yassemblage
present at the pavilion which was ar
tistically decorated with Japanese
lanterns, and to the music of the only,
original Shadman's orchestra, the eve
ning's program was inaugurated with
the ever enlivening "Walk Around"
and soon the woods rang with the
shouts and laughter of the merry rev.
elers. Owing to the skillful efforts of
Messrs. Kaye and Logan a large bon
fire was built near by whose Pickering
rays added much charm to the scene
and soon caused the odor of delicious
coffee to become perceptible. Under
the directions of Mr.. Howard who, in
his usual dignified manner officiated
as master of ceremonies and was ably
assisted by Geo. A. Walker Jr., as
floor manager the fun and merriment
was continued until a late hour, adj
mitting only of brief intermission
during which a dainty lunch, prepared
by Mrs. Howard, was served. Only
when the candles had burned at both
ends and the fire been reduced to
smouldering embers did the happy
group depart from the scene of their
evenings pleasure and We're conveyed
to their homes by means of the efficient
service of the Sizerville BUS Line.

A DAVIS Outing.

Last Friday, Mr.. Henry Auchu, Pres
ident of the Emporium & Rich Valley
r. r invited DR.. Good, of Philadel-
phia, John J. Hinkle and We editor to
accompany him over the road and view
their extensive lumber operations. All
hands enjoyed the days outing and
especially the grand ride over the
mountains. 1t is a grand sight and
more of our citizens should avail them
selves of the privilege before the lum-
ber is removed from Bobby Run. The
new line up Cooks Run opens up a
large body of timber-hemlock and
hardwood. The road is well built and
the ride is pleasant one to take We
must not forget to mention the elegant
dinner served at Smiths camp, on
Cooks Run, but we shall not mention
how much we ate-hungry men always
relish good meal, especially in a lum-
ber camp. Howard & Company feed
their men the best the market affords
and actually serve pie-raisin pie.
Gosh! but it was good and would put to
blush some of the pie eaters or makers.
But, we had good time and we regret
our inability to do full justice, in this
short description, of the grandeur of a
ride through the virgin timber. Our
readers can rest assured we did to the
pie.
| We desire to thank Mr.. Auchu, the
Company's foreman Jos. J. Lingle, the
trainmen and the cooks for their kind
ness to the party.

TO PHILADELPHIA.
T1any w. N. Y. 6 p. Clerks Will be
Affected by the Reorganization
Ordered to go to PhiIa-
deIphia


From information cleaned by a Com
mercial representative it is probable
that the official announcement of the
absorption of the Western New York
& Pennsylvania and Allegheny Valley
roads by the Pennsylvania and the re-
organization and unification of the
same will not develop anything new
outside of what has already appeared
in these columns. The removal of the
auditors, treasurer's and car-service
departments to Philadelphia will ne
cessitate the transfer of about thirty
five men, officials and clerks included.
The employees have received infor-
nation that if they desire to retain their
positions in these offices they will have
to move to Philadelphia.
The operating department will be in
charge of George w. Creighton, who
is spoken of as a very accomplished
and talented railway man.
The duties of traffic officers will be
territorially divided so as not to con-
fiict, and there will not be any material
change in this department. This will
be good news to the friends of the
traffic officials.
For eighteen solid years General Pas
senger Agent J. A. Fellows has worked
with vim and vigor to bring the pas
senger end Of the w. N. Y. & P. up to
high standard and he has accom-
plishedit. Today the passenger service
of this road compares favorably with
that of any in the country. Buffalo

The New Road.

The new road that starts at the foot
of Broad street, which is intended to
reach the top of Whittemore Hill, Bry-
an Hill, Moore Hill and Mason Hill
will be an achievement of the enter
prise and pluck of the people of En-
pOrium. There are men who always
want to get to the top of the hill by
means OF q ''pull'; but while they are
looking around for somebody to pull
them up, the man on the road who
plods steadily onward generally reach
es the top while the other man is still
hunting for the pull. Stick to the
Broad street road until it reaches the
tops of the hills. When it is finished
it may be little winding, and some
times dusty, and it may not always be
picturesque; but you can't get lost on
it and there will be no danger of step
ping off the end, for honest work is the
only ''sure thing that will take you to
the top of the hills. Again, some men
are hunting for short road to fortune
in speculation. Ninety nine out of
every hundred men who start out on
that trail are either led over preci
pice or into the boggy lands by that
"a sure thing" Ii you keep in the old
road of honesty, decision, concentra-
ton of purpose, industry, economy
and by putting your savings in bank
or by securing Home Savings bank.
