spend in reading the scriptures, playing
with the children, or breaking the two
yesr-old colt Arrange to avail yourself

an opportunity will come around again.

Clearing and cleaning up of the new
cemetery grounds across the river has
been in progress during the past week
and it will not be long until the place
will have been transformed into a pretty
landscape. OF Ofcourse there is much to be
done before ii can he called cemetery,
but the start is made and it is the deter
minstion of the projectors to proceed with
all possible activity until the work is en-
tirely completed. We learn that much
of the granite for the Collins mausoleum
has arrived and it is hoped to have the
foundation and ground work completed
before winter sets in.
If Franklin doesn't have a glorious
celebration of "old home week" and the
county centennial within her borders
this week 1t will not be the fault of the
Evening News, which published a six
teen-psge edition last Saturday in honor
of and to boom the big affair. Editor
Borland, who is president of the execu-
tive committee having charge of all ar
rangements, is largely the "whole thing"
in the great event, and there is scarcely
any doubt but that it will be thelgrandest
celebration ever witnessed in the lively
old town. Many from this section are
and will be in attendance during the
week.
The national encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic closed its
sessions in Denver last week, electing
Corporal James Tanner COMMANDMENTS
chief after a spirited but good natured
contest for the place. The ranks of the
"old boys" are thinning out as the years
roll on. 1t is 40 years since Lee surren-
dered at Appomattox, and the boys who
wore the blue then are old men now.
The G. A. b. numbers 235, ,455 now. 1t is
not at all likely this number will in
crease, although it is stated that there are
very many survivors of the Union armies
who still hold aloof and fail to avail them
selves of their eligibility to join, yet
with each succeeding year the death rate
is bound TO increase.
The new Conservatory of Music of
the Edinboro State Normal School will
offer this year free scholarship to one
student from each county in the state in
the supervisors course in public school
music (there being great demand for
such teachers.) Candidates must be either
graduates of an established high school or
state normal school (the latter preferred
and must have had some previous train
ing in music. All persons receiving
free scholarship must agree to teach in
the public schools of the state, provided
position can be secured. Examination of
candidates will be held on Tuesday, Sept.
10. 1905. For further particulars address
Hamlin L. Cogswell, Mus. NJ, Director
Conservatory Of Music, Edinboro, Pa.
A Muzette correspondent of the Clar-
ion Republican says: Last spring beau
tiful school flag was purchased by the
teacher of Muzette school, Miss McElravy
of Msrienville, with money raised by the
teacher and pupils for that purpose. At
the opening of the school term this year
the teacher, Lawrence Zuendel, promptly
secured flag pole and raised the flag to
the breezes last Monday. SO far as we
know this is the only school flag flying
in Kingsley township. Few of the
schools have bells. One is badly needed
at Muzette and it is hoped the school
board will place one on our school house.
An excellent spirit has been shown by
the parents and residents of the district
toward the school and they would greatly
appreciate the gift ofa school bell.
The Kansas City Journal cites the
case of one Kansas newspaper man who
gave notice that for one week he would
tell the truth regardless of consequences.
A marriage took place that week and this
is what he wrote: Married, Miss. Sylvia
Rhode to James Carnahan, last Sunday
evening, at the Baptist church. The
bride was very ordinary town girl, who
doesn't know any more than a rabbit
about cooking, and never helped her
mother three days in her life. She is not
beauty by any means, and has a gait
like fat duck. The groom is an up-to-
date loaier, has been living off the old
folks all his life, and doesn't amount TO
shucks, nohow. They will have hard
life while they live together" 1t further
stated that at last accounts, the editor
