This is the season of the year when
chimneys should be thoroughly over
hauled and cleaned. George Foster
has invested in a machine for cleaning
ehimneys, which does the work very
effectively, anil he is kept quite busy
responding TO the calls for his services.
If your chimney needs cleaning. send
for George, aud ne will do good job.
We are in receipt of the current
quarterly number of 1.-The Centaur," the
official organ of the Alpha Kappa Kappa
Fraternity, of which our old friend and
former towusman. Elmer j. Barney, is
editor i'll chi eff. The articles from his
pen are carefully written and very
interesting, disclosing an earnest desire
to seek the best welfare of the fraternity.
His first newspaper work was on the
HERALD.
The Royal Entertainers who appear
at the opera house Monday evening.
November IA, under the Auspices of the
Athletic Grounds Association, give a
varied, interesting and amusing pro-
gramme. Nobody can afford to miss
seeing these people, who are typical sons
of the west, bright, breezy and intel
lectual. This is their first eastern tour
and they are meeting large houses every
where. The proceeds of this entertain
ment will be applied on the rent account
of the Baseball Association.
The following telegram was lately
received at the Island Pond office from
Pittsburg, Pa, to Edward B. Lee
"We won the Allegheny County prize.
Congratulations" Signed, T. f. Bill
quist.
The above means that the drawings
in the late competition for the erection
of the buildings of the chronological
School to be given to Pittsburg by Mr.
Carnegie, and which will probably cost
not less than S5,O00,OO0, submitted by
the firm of which Mr.. Billquist is the
senior member, drew the prize of $1,000
for the highest rank among the Allie
gheny County Architects. The design
and superintendent of these drawings
was entirely the work of Mr.. Lee, SC
that the congratulations seem to be well
| deserved.
Had it not been for series of severe
snow squalls last Thursday the annual
fair of the Woman's Auxiliary would
have had much larger patronage, but
despite this drawback the ladies' realized
some $50. They furnished delightful
chicken supper which many enjoyed.
The concert in the evening was listened
to by small but very appreciative audi
ence. Mrs. Landry is so we'll known
here that it is sufficient to say that all
her selections and the rendering of
them were in her best form. She is not
only good musician, but her manner
before an audience is very attractive
Miss Barker is singer of unusual
ability, possessing a beautiful, sweet
voice, over which she has complete con
troll, and Mr.. Carriers baritone does him
self and his instructor great credit. II
was treat to hear them sing. We hope
the Auxiliary will have better luck next
