born in the Valley, and he spent
his boyhood here. Afterward
going to Altoona, he has risen to
be one of it's wealthiest and most
influential citizens.
To formally recognize the pres
ence of these distinguished visit
ors, about fifty of our men and
boys under the leadership o1
Postm aster Spangler, went to the
home Of Hon S. p. Wishart where
Mr.. and Mrs. Woodcock were
staying, and gave them a hearty
old fashioned serenade.
Inasmuch as Mr.. and Mrs.
Woodcock were married some six
months or more ago, is was not
easy to convince them that they
were the bride and groom in
whose honor the demonstration
was being made.
The good will Of the serepaders
was emphasized by all the noise
that could be gotten out of bells,
horns, horse-hddles, rosined store
boxes, cannon crackers and any
thing else that would add to the
general din.
At the command of the leader
silence was restored, and in a few
well chosen words he handed over
to the visitors the "keys of the
city" and babe them make them
selves at home.
| Mr.. Woodcock, in response
said it afforded him no little
pleasure to be back among the
friends of his youth, and tc
receive at their hands such a
hearty welcome, He made them
very interesting speech and
tipped the climax Of the perora-
ton with a crisp five dollar BILL

PROMPT DENIAL GIVEN REPORT
Williams Says Seaboard Railway Was
Not Sold.

Many Americas people were inter
ested in the story published Sunday to
the effect that the Louisville 81 Nash
vile Railway had secured control of
the Seaboard and there was much
speculation here as to the result of the
deal. This was set at rest yesterday
by pro mpt and emphatic denial on
the part of President Williams of the
Seaboard. ST and my immediate
associates" said Mr.. Williams town a
controlling interest in the Seaboard
system. My financial interest in
it today is larger than it ever
has been before. The condition
of the system Is stronger than ever,
earnings are heavier than at any time
in the past history. We are satisfied
with the property, intend to hold it
and operate it, and a controlling inter-
est in the Seaboard Air Line system is
not for sale to anybody at any price. :"
