The Emlenton News says "a large
audience was present at the Methodist
church last Sunday night to hear Rev. c..
c. Rumberger preach his farewell ser
mon, and those in attendance were we'll
repaid, for the Reverend gentleman
preached a most helpful sermon. AT the
close he spoke feelingly for the pastorate
here, and complimented the church mem
bership on the excellent work of the past
! year, which was the most successful, from
q financial standpoint, at least, of any
year in the history of the church. Rev.
Rumberger has been an earnest worker
and has made many friends by the fear
less manner in which he preached the
gospel and denounced all wrongdoing."
This is September, remarks an eX-
change, and the weather has been rainy
and things have swollen. If you want to
come in and pay your subscr ption come
anyhow. If the doc. sticks kick it off
the hinges, keep coming till you get clear
in. Don't stop and ask if the editor is
in; keep coming don't stop coming till
you meet some one, then pay up, pay
more than up ; pay ahead, take a receipt ;
any of us can write one, some of us can
write receipts with both hands at once in
the dark and count the money at the
same time. Don't be bashful about COM
ing in, don't stop to knock, just ON
We can write receipts with our toes and
eulogies on the man, woman or child that
pays up this weather with one hand and
make change with the other. Just try
us, we are cutter thar the devil at making
change and writing receipts, but he can
do it ii we are not in.
jerome Weaver, the popular land
lord of the Maple Shade hotel at Tylers-
burg. had a very narrow escape from
death at Leeper station last Wednesday
afternoon. He was walking on the track
of the narrow gauge railroad as the north
bound passenger train was pulling into
the station, but supposing hat he was on
the side track made no effort to get off
until his attention was attracted by some
of the bystanders. lie attempted to es-
cape but was caught by the ''cow-catch-
or" and thrown upwards till his clothing
caught on the flag post of the engine,
and thus he was dragged several rods be-
fore the train could be brought to stand
still. DR.. Beatty, the attending physic-
ian, found his collar bone broken and
other severe bruises. Mr.. Weaver was
able to be conveyed to his home, but will
be laid up Tor some time. The call was a
close one, and should teach the victim a
lesson. Good landlords are scarce, Je-
rome, and you must take extra care of
yourself.
David Lamb, formerly of Pleasant
Vile and Bradford, and who has numer-
III acquaintance in Tionesta, was in Oil
City Saturday on business. The Derrick
says Mr.. Lamb Came from Cuba, where
he has some large landed interests and
speaks most enthusiastically of the
country and the opportunities it pre-
sents. He is located at Mayari, on the
north side OF the island, in the province
of Santiago. The climate is not so hot as
generally reported, the highest temper
ature recorded in a dozen years was 9S
degrees, and the lowest 81 degrees. The
soil is adapted to corn as well as tobacco,
and stock raising is likewise proving a
profitable investment. Mr.. Lamb has lit
tie patience with the Spanish inhabitants,
whom he describes as careless, shiitless
and non-progressive. The hotels of the
country are wretched, and it is hard work
to do business with the natives. Under
American rule, he thinks, Cuba would
speedily become one of the richest coun-
tries in the world, and Havana would in
crease to a million inhabitants,
