BY GUEST
Memorial Day,

Decoration Day was appropriately
observed in Emporium, large delega
tions coming from all sections of the
county. The procession was the larg
est ever seen here. Newton Wiley
Cemetery was crowded with citizans,
hundreds of Sunday school children
being there. Congressman Cnas +
Barclay, in few pleasant remarks, in
troduced Rev. w. P. Shriner, the orator
of the day. The Rev. gentleman's
Grafton was scholarly, eloquent and
unique and highly pleasing to the vast
gathering. The old veterans were out
in large numbers, although their num-
bers are growing less. After the ser
vices at the cemetery the "old boys''
were invited to the Post room, where
the ladies of the Relief Corps had
bountiful supper prepared. Photo
grapher w. G. Bair took a snap shot
picture of the old veterans. The day
was great success and all were proud
OF the occasion.

brances of his kindness and good cheer.
We always delighted to have him call
for visit or talk for we were sure to
learn something. While very co n
servative man Mr.. Day always had the
greatest desire for the material ad-
vancement of Emporium and was ever
ready to stand his share of fexpense. In
business he was honest to the cent and
never knowingly wronged any person.
Positive, exact and emphaticrin every
question-business, religious or polit-
ical. Politically he was of the Charles
Summer stripe and seldom, if ever
crossed the line to assist the enemy of
these sentiments expounded by the old
school statesmen. Mr.. Day in 1882 was
the Republican nominee for member of
Assembly but failed ofelection by fifty
four votes and often Iaughingly refer
red to his campaign mistakes. He
would not allow anything contrary to
his ideas of right to be done even to
secure his election. John Day was an
honest man and leaves shining monu-
ment for the youth to point to. Fare
well, old friend.

Rapidly Declining.

The editor of the PRESS is in receipt
of a private line from Mr.. VIM. Ran
dali, Supt. of The George Nugelt
Home for Baptists at Germantown cou-
tanning the sad news that "Mr. Mcneil
has grown very much more feeble IN
mind and body since you were here.
Present appearances indicate that he
will not long remain with u.s." Rev.
McNeil's many admiring friends viii
be panied to hear that his end is near.
Mr.. Randall, the Supt., has been veZy
kind to our old friend. Many of US
will long remember that pleasant smile
and hearty hand shake When we
last called on him he had commenced
to fail and death will be blessing.

VIM. Randall, Supt George Nugsnt

their business to Homer d. Burlin

charge of his new business about June

uuable to say what improvements
would be made to advance the business
interests, but will make every effort TO
carry on the business in successful
way. Mr. Burlingame has for many

Accident at Huntley.

AS night watchman Giardino Angelo
was coming up the P. r. R. tracks from
Huntley station about eight O'Clock
Monday morning he stepped off of tho
east bound track to get out of the way
of an east bound freight and walked
directly in front of west bound train.
He was struck and knocked about
twenty feet to the side of the track.
The injured man was taken to Drift
wood on hand car, where DIR. Corbejt
attended him. He was painfully but
not seriously injured. Owing to a cot
bed which he was carrying on his back
the force of the blow was reduced. He
was taken back to Huntley after being
cared for and is resting comfortably az
can be expected.

First Under Uniform Ballot.

The primary elections held through
out Pennsylvania, under The new law,
was pulled off last Saturday, from to
8 O'Clock, p. M. In this county there
was little contest, except for County
Treasurer on the Republican side Mr..
Henry Ludlam was the only Demo
cratic candidate, although many of the
organization democrats swore they
would defeat his nomination, they laid
down like lambs. On the Republican
side there were many candidates, five,
and they made an active fight for the
nomination, but the horrible rainy day
kept the vote down in the rural dis.
tricts. The vote was canvassed yester-
day with the following result:

Base b all.

On Thursday last our people
practically all, had day off, and took
occasion to visit the park and witness
the base ball games between Empori-
um and Johnsonburg. The attendance
was the largest of the season. The
first game opened with Johnson
burg at the bat, and their half ended
with a goose egg. The locals scored
in their half and from that on were un-
able to count 1t was evident from the
opening of the second inning that it
was an off day for the home team.
Their batting was somewhat below
their usual average and it seemed
when they did hit the ball it landed
safe in fielder's nit, this and numer-
GUS errors at critical stages gave John
sonburg the game to 1. The boys
from the paper city were more fortu'
nate, their hits were landed more
safely, and while the errors were num-
erous they were not made at times
that would favor the home team.
Our fans who had not seen the team
play before this season were dissatis-
fled with the showing the home team
made on this occasion. Overturf at
third played his usual good game, as
did Liston at first.
The second game was repetition of
the first. Hemphill, who had pitched
the first game, started the second but
was relieved by Weaver. Score to 3
in Johnsonburg's favor.
Emporium team was defeated at
Johnsonburg Tuesday by the score of
13 to 5.
St. Marys will play here on Saturday
afternoon, June S.

The funeral of Mr.. Edward F. Close,
which took place from his late home at
Howard Siding was one of the largest
ever held on West Greek. Mr.. Close
was born at Lyons, N. Y, Aug. 25,
1912. He came to this county early in
Sept. 1863. When the civil war began,
Mr.. Close returned to his native state
and home city, to enlist, and served
his country as soldier three years.
He enlisted twice, the last time in
Company E, 111th New York Infantry
and was honorably discharged near
Alexandria, Va, June 4, 1865.
Mr.. Close was married to Miss Maria
Pearsall, Sept. 10, 1865; they spent II
years of their early life in the state of
Mich, returning to Cameron county in
1878. From this happy union one son
and five daughters together with their
mother survive. 1t can be truly said
of this man she was not for God took
him." He was devoted husband, a
kind father, desirable neighbor, and
a christian gentleman. In his early
life he united with the NJ. E. Church
and as the years advanced his life be.
came more and more enriched in the
knowledge of God, and fruitful in all
christian graces.
