The Lewistown Elks are very busy
these days, completing arrangements
for two important events in which the
public will be greatly interested. The
program for the lodge of sorrow to
be held at the opera house on Sun
day, Dec. "a, is rapidly being filled up.
County Attorney Harry L. Wilson, of
Billings, has been invited to make the
memorial address, and as ne has the
reputation Of being an eloquent speak
er, his effort on this occasion will be
well worth hearing. Special music
will be provided, and in addition to
the orchestra, Mrs. Plum, Henry NJ.
Rae, George H. Beasley and others
will take part.
The Elks are making good progress
in the arrangements for the minstrel
show to be given by them in the near
future. The first rehearsal was held
Sunday afternoon, but it was just a
preliminary lineup in order to get
matters in shape, the positions taken
all being temporary. Henry M. Rae,
Ed. Wright, J. B. Ritch and Walter
knight taking the ends, while David
Hilger and Mr.. Strothers alternated
as interlocuter. The program was,
of course, an impromptu affair, and
included song by Mr.. Rae, who will
be one of the stars of the company.

always been prime mover.
For many years he owned and operat-
ed stage line between this place and

Sermon by Rev. Crawford, of Sykesville,
Singing and Prayer Filled the Evening.
The watch meeting, introduction
social and rally was grand success at
the Baptist church on New Years eve.
The introduction social was very
pleasant affair. Some of the cards con-
tained almost one hundred names in
exchange. Refreshments were served
from 900 to 11.00 p. m. A short sermon
was preached at 11.35 by Rev. ]. W.
Crawford, of Sykesville, and was highly
enjoyed by all who heard it. A few

born. The congregation joined in sing
ing when the last Roll is Called" and
amid the pealing forth Of the bell from
the church tower and the blowing of
whistles the people departed for their
homes wishing each other Happy New

interest Of the occasion by duet.

Turns the Tide.

The influence Of newspaper advertis-
ing is wonderful. 1t makes small stores
great. 1t turns the tide of business
toward the advertised store as nothing
else will. 1t places the name of the
store so strongly in the minds of the
people that they cannot think of dry
goods, clothing, shoes or drugs without
the rame of that advertised store COM
ing into their minds simultaneously.
BY good persistent advertising cam
paign any business house can push its
way to the front. The very best
medium to use in your community is
your local newspaper, as it goes to the
people when their minds are easily i'm

Good Men and True.

This year candidates seeking the
various Offices in Jefferson county will
be numerous. The officers to be elected
are Judge, treasurer, register and
recorder, sheriff, prothonotary and
three commissioners. 1t is not likely
there will be more than one Republican
candidate for the nomination for Judge
and one for prothonotary, and those
candidates will be Judge John w. Reed
and Cyrus H. Blood. The Republicans
OF Jefferson county cannot find better
men within the county to fill these two
Offices than the present incumbents, and
it would be waste OF time and money
for any person to try to defeat them.

A JOYOUS WELCOME
FOR THE NEW YEAR.
Nineteen Hundred and Five Ushered in

of Whistles.

The people of Reynoldsville gave the
New Year, 1905, a boisterous greeting.

year was ushered in there was aringing
of church bells, blowing of mill whistles,
street car whistles, locomotive whistles,
shooting guns, revolvers, dynamite, &C.,

ing. A number of people who had
gone to bed an hour or two before the
old year died and the New Year was
born and were sweetly embraced in the
arms of morpheus were startled by the
outburst of enthusiasm over the birth
of new year and many of them thought
for a second at least that the town was
