busy time with the farmers, large
crowd turned out and the building was
crowded. The exercises were chiefly
| for the small children, but the old and
middle age seemed as we'll pleased as
the young. The program consisted of
Mother Goose scenes, tableaux and
pantomimes, and all were performed
such manner as to reflect great credit
on their leader, Mrs. G. a. Wilson.
Immediately after the entertainment
refreshments were served, and the
tables were nicely waited on by a bevy
of pretty girls. Some $50 was realized,
half of which will go to purchase an
organ for Pisgah chapel, We are sure
that no one regretted having come and
considered their money well spent.

FUNERAL AND LIFE SKETCH OF MRS.
CHARLES GROVE.

AND LIFE SKETCH OF MRS.
CHARLES GROVE.
Yea, though 1 walk through the val
ley of the shadow of death, / fear no evil,
for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff
comfort me-"
These were the comforting words
with which Rev. Rufus Kendig COM
menced the solemn funeral exercises
of Mrs. Charlie Grove at Mt. Vernon
last Wednesday, July 4, 1906. AS was
anticipated in a brief notice last week
of the death of this lady, large con-
course of people gathered at the church.
Rarely have so many people from far
and near been seen there on any Occa
sion, and never more sad and serious
congregation. The heart felt sympa-
thy of each one went out to the hus-
band, and the tears upon the cheeks
of many showed that they sorrOwed
with him in his loss of a lovely and
true wife, who had been dear to them
also. Rev. E. A. Repass of Bethlehem
church. Rev. A. Heatwole, Rev. David
Kendig and Justice Cline sat in the
pulpit and assisted Rev. MI. Kendig,
who conducted the services. The pail
bearers were Messrs. Camden Coyner,
Philip Coyner, VIM. COyner. Charlie
EIlerson, G.. Frank, and r. Shenk.
Besides her husband and five small
children, she leaves to mourn their loss
three brothers and three sisters.

months and 20 days old at the time of

a consistent member of Mt. Vernon
Dunkard church for many years.
The good mother had had her trou.
bles. too, as one of her babes was tax.
en-, but she bore up bravely, kept to
her work at home, In the church and
among her people. Mr.. Grove when
first married, moved in with his par
ents where he lived at the time of bis
wife's death. The floral designs were
very beautiful.

VIM. Lee to HANG.

In order to prevent the lynching of
William Lee, alias George Scott, for
assaultfng Mrs. Robert Fl. Barnes and
Miss Frances Powell in Somerset
county, Nd, the execution may take
place aboard boat.
"There are but two possible ways of
ever carrying out the sentence of the
court in Somerset county" said Mr..
Charles o. Melvin. attorney for Lee,
Immediately after the trial. in discuss
ing the feeling prevailing in Somerset
county against the condemned man.
The feeling is something awful. In
order to execute Lee in Somerset coun.
ty the State will have to send the ne
gro into the county accompanied by a
guard of soldiers sufficiently strong to
withstand determined mob composed
of the enraged people of the county.
"If this method is not pursued, then
he must be taken within the jurisdic
ton of the county in which the crime
was committed on State steamer and
hanged on gallows erected on the
boat. Lee will never be executed &C
cording to the orderly and regular
methods prescribed by the law" con-
tinued Mr.. Melvin, unless one of these
heroic methods is employed. The peo-
pie of the county are incensed and
awfully determined. The carrying out
of the sentence on the steamer in the
waters of Somerset county would meet
every requirement of the law, and
would secure quiet, orderly hang
ing.n Lee was tried in Baltimore be
fore three judges last week. The gov
ernor has not as yet set the date for
| hanging.

A New Game.

"The Editor" and country weekly
tells about it. Take a sheet of ordi-
nary writing paper, fold nicely, enclose
a bank note sufficiently large to pay all
arrearages and year In advance. and
hand it to the editor. Keep your eyes
on him, and if smile adorns his face,
it works fine and dandy. Now is the
time to play the joke; it beats ping
pong, pit and finch all hollow.

ATsTRIAN.ITALIAN RELATIONS.
Views of Two Former Ministers on Effect OF
Triple Alliance.

Vienna Dec. s.-Discussins in the 'Neue Frele
Presse" to-day the relations between Austria
Hungary and Italy, Signor Luzzattt. former ItaI-
ian Minister of the Treasury, is quoted as say
ing that the military preparations OF Austria
along the Italian frontier are bound 10 lead TO
the arning of Italy. The Minister believed that
Austria Hungary and Italy ought 10 recognize
that the Triple Alliance offered the greatest se-
curitv for peace between Germany and the An
glo-French Alliance. The only real danger OF
peace of the world. he said lay in the rivalry be-
tween Germany and Great Britain. and in case
OF war breaking out between those two countries
Austria Hungary and Italy had everything 10
lose This should, therefore. promote the en-
deavor TO bring about a good understanding be-
tween Great Britain and Germany
The same paper publishes an interview with
the MARQUIS al Rudtni. former Premier of Italy.
Who is reported 10 have said thar the Triple AL
I,ance had lost its old force and since Great
Britain had taken up new position IN the
worlds politics had become a source OF continual
ANXIETY both to Austria-Hungary and Italy
EoUever added the ex-Premier, IL would be
foolish and dangerous to abandon the Triple Al
Jiance which was necessary 10 the economic and
POLITICAL interests OF both Italy and Austria
Hungary.

was ready to confer with the United States gov
