of the office yesterday. Bert Burns,
son of postmaster, will be assistant
postmaster and Miss Margaret Schultze

OF course Reynoldsville won. The
score was 81 to 46. The Punxsutawney
boys are royal entertainers, jolly good

whist players, but were so much over
matched that the game was less inter-
esting than If the players had been
more equal In the technical knowledge

Howe certainly deserves all the many

Missionary Lecture.

The illustrated lecture given by the
Rev. Howard Campbell Friday evening
In the Presbyterian church was we'll re-
ceived. Mr. Campbell has been work.
ing as a missionary among the Laos
people for about seven years. He is To-
Gated at the Chang Mission station and
has been associated with James and
Alex Waite, of this place, since the fall
of 1899. He reports that the Waite boys
readily acquired the language and are
tactful and tireless workers in present
ing the claims of the christian religion.
A most encouraging feature of the work
among that people is their ripeness for
the gospel OF Jesus Christ. They are
not hostile toward the christian mis-
sionary, but very friendly. The Budd-
hist priests frequently grant the mis-
sionary the use of their temples when
he is making an itinerary, and, then, at
tend the services. AS result, many of
the Buddhist priests are now numbered
among the most efficient native minis
ters who are preaching the saving gos-
pei Of Gods dear Son.
