Sinnemaho ming Liars Club.

The Sinnemahoning Liars Club is in a
fourishing condition with plenty of capi-
tai and frst-class members One of our
members told a good one at last nights
session which was applauded highly.
He was on steam boat on Lake Erie
and had an occasion to visit the engine
and boiler room, where he found they
used a colored man for weight on the
safety valve and every time the steam
blew off, it sent him through the
smoke stack, which also kept the stack
clean. Some of the members doubted
his statement and j. Y. Hanscome was
referred to, who said it was fact, so it
was recorded on the minutes. Beldin
and Pap Blodget were expelled from the
club for six months, as neither Of them
will tell lie or drink anything stronger
than water which is contrary to the laws
Of the order, and it created quite bit of
excitement One of our members rode
the Odd Fellows goat at Driftwood and
reports having fine time. Pap Blodget
was up to Driftwood IA few nights ago
and came in contact with Angus McDon-
aid. after few remarks the OLD fellow
threw up the sponge and tackled Sam
McCoole, who contemplates joining our
club in the near future.
Should we succeed in getting few
good members from Drifwood we will be
in frst-class trim when we make our an
nual visit to Emporium this spring.
While in Emporium last week had the
pleasure of attending a meeting Of that
club and witnessed the initiation OF
"Jack" Kackenmeister, who after the
ceremonies distinguished himself by tell
ing story entitled the "owl," or the
''broad faced hen" which certainly is a
good one and proved beyond doubt
that he will make front rank member
"Jack" has had the experience in this
line and all that is needed now is a chance
to expound.
With such talent as the new member
Dalrymple, Ed. McNerney and Ed
Morse, the Emporium club is bonnd tc
prosper.
Being no other business Alex. De
Shelter called for refreshments and tho

I'IDE
Sinnemahoning,

"There is just one girl" is now the
favorite song with Otto Mccoy since the
arrival of the little lady who came to
make her future home at his house
One of our young men is pretty nearly
discouraged. He says he don't mind the
girls father keeping bulldog but he has
to dodge two other ugly dogs on his way
home.
By the time June roses shed their
fragrance on the ambient air at least three
more weddings shall have been consul
mated, unless dame rumor is wholly un-
reliable.
1t was very gratifying to the many
friends of Rev. M. c. Piper, to learn that
he was to remain with us another year.
He was given hearty reception on his
return from conference, on which occasion
he was properly pounded" and made to
feel that his labors are appreciated
The venerable ex-President of the liars
club visited Remove short time ago and
stayed over night. He was given a room
with a funny little lamp hanging by a
string in the middle of the room, and in
trying to extinguish the thing it came
loose from the ceiling, began to spit fire
and sparks at the dignifed guest, and he
says chased him all around the ROOM OF
course Pap yelled for some one to "come
and take it away" and the racket he
made soon brought the night clerk and
police to his rescue, when they found him
on his back, in the corner, kicking
viciously at that pesky little glass bulb
which was finally captured and returned
to its proper place, and generous dose of
the ex-President's favorite prescription
soon restored him to his usual quiet dig
nifty, but he could not be induced to stay
in the same room with that bottled light
ming, but would either sleep in the barn
or walk home; and the next time he goes
away to institute another club he will
take lantern along.

Obituary..

GEORGE DILLMAN HICKS, born Jan.
1st, 1881, died at the home of his par
ents at Cameron, Pa, March 18th,
1900, aged 10 years, two months and
II days. Deceased was the eldest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. S. S. Hicks. The
young man was kind and true to his
father and mother and all members of
his family, He was loved by all who
knew him and had a kind word for
everybody. Our Savior saw fit to re
move him from earth's toll, but as we
saw him pass away, it seemed hard,
but Jesus says "My will be done"
Soon our time will come to go and we
pray our lot may be as thy dear son,
kind and true.
Our hearts are sad and lonely,
Since George passed away;
His days on earth were numbered,
With you he could not stay.
His life of toll is ended
lie rests from grief and care;
st home with blessed Jesus,
We hope to meet him there.
Your loss | know is heavy,
You miss his gentle care;
In mansions Jesus promised,
VIII surely meet him there.
For soon he comes in glory
With all his Saints to reign;
With rapture then to greet him,
And never part again.
The funeral took place at Cameron
