THANKSGIVING
GREETING

j.. Q. Hartman, proprietor Of the
Silk Mill, yesterday had a very novel
Thanksgiving surprise III store for his
employees, some three hundred in num-
ber He deposited to the credit of each
one of his hands one dollar i'll the
Danvillo National Bank and as a
/ Thanksgiving greeting last evening
handed each boy and girl working for
him a bank book showing the dollar
deposited to their credit and accom-
panied by a printed slip explaining
that he had secured permission from
the bank for the employees at any time
to make additional deposits of ten
cents or more.
The slip further explained that Mr..
Hartman in his boyhood days out Of "a
salary of two dollars per week man
aged to finally accumulate the sum of
one dollar with which he opened an
account in bank. He believes in the
habit of methodical saving and trusts
that each and every account started
with the dollar presented may grow to
a substantial nest egg, which may be
of greatest value at some future time.
The slip concludes by wishing all Il
Happy Thanksgiving and adding Il
hope that circumstances may enable
Mr.. Hartman each year to aid his en-
ployes in their efforts to save money.

WILL REV. I
PINAFORE

| Pinafore is to be revived by home
| talent in this city. 1t will be pre-
sented under the auspices of the Soldi-
ers' Monument Committee and rehear-
sails will begin in week or SOS time.
| The soldiers monument fund has
not grown as rapidly as was anticipat-
ed, although a few handsome sub
scriptions have been received lately.
Some ten thousand dollars will be re-
uuired to build "a monument such as
contemplated and probably two thirds
of this amount still remains to be
| raised.
The work of soliciting seemed to
! lag during the latter Fart of the sum-
| mer, but the committee have now gone
to work with fresh vigor and are hope
full of raising the money required be-
tween this and next Memorial Day.
Soliciting will be pushed as rapidly
as possible and other means will be
employed for raising money. Among
the latter will be Il presentation of
Pinafore, which will take place about
Washington Birthday. Among the
performers will be number who took
part in the we'll remembered produc-
tion of this comic opera, i'll 1879,
twenty three years ago. Danville tai
ent then as in later years distinguish
ed itself and our Pinafore became i'm
mensely popular, local talent playing
to crowded houses. not only i'll our
own town for three nights, but also III
Shamokin. Hazleton, Bellefonte and
Lock Haven.
In addition to those who took part
in the former production, the very best
of other local talent will be selected
for the cast and chorus. There will
be an orchestra of II pieces, and
chorus of fifty voices, the whole pro
duction being under the direction of
Prof. Conner Thomas. who had charge
of the opera when it was presented
the last time. Professor Thomas is rec
ognized as an able musician eminent
ly successful in drilling large chorus
es, as was demonstrated not only
when Pinafore was first presented, but
also i'll the presentation of Queen Esth-
er last summer.
1t is the intention of the committee
to rent suitable room and to proceed
with the rehearsals as soon as posi-
