Ed. Fernandina Record, Fernandina Fla
Dear Sir-My attention has been
called TO an article appearing in a re-
cent issue of your paper, quite cOmpli-
mentary to me, and for which l wish
TO tender to you my grateful acknowl-
edgments. To me it is exceedingly
gratifying to know that some Of the
prominent papers of Florida are encour-
aging my cendidacy for the Governship
Of Florida, and especially do l appre-
ciate their fiattering testimonials, as
have given no one any reason to even
suppose that | would be a candidate for
Governor.
Though am unprepared just at this
time to say that | will or will not be q
candidate for Governor, desire to
thank you, Mr.. Editor, for your kind
wish Mr.. Broome will enter the race. :"
Though / lay not the fiattering JUNCTION
TO my soul that should finally consent
to enter as another Richmond In the
field that / would get there ION flow
cry beds Of ease, =" / am vain enough to
presume that my record as State SEN
ator for many years would secure avOte
that would be exceedingly pleasing to
myself and equally gratifying to my
friend, the editor of The Record.
With best wishes, and entertaining
for yourself the highest esteem and re-
gard,~l am, yours very truly,
JAMES E. BROOME.

Dear Sir: Yours Of the 28th inst is

on my authority, whenever there is oc-
casion to do so. e:
An announcement to that effect with
my authorization, was made by the

fore the adjournment of Congress, but
many people must have failed to see it.,
or the references to it by other papers
in the State because ] have received
many letters from gentlemen in differ
ent parts of the State, inquiring wheth-

Walked Out a Window.

Marie Turney, teu-year-old lassie
of Mcdonald, Pa, who, with her moth.
er, Mrs. j. S. Turney, is visiting at
home OF j. L. Foster on Jackson street,
had a narrow escape from death or
serious injury one night last week by
walking out OF third story window
while sleeping. Marie is somnam-
bulist and walking in her sleep is a
common occurance for her. The rear
part of Mr.. Fosters residence is three
stories high and Marie was sleeping in
a back room on third floor with Miss
Hazel Foster and the window iu the
room, which runs down close to floor
was wide open and Marie, who was
sleeping In back part of the bed, got
out of bed, walked out of window and
fell distance of about twenty-five feet
Her right wrist was sprained and her
body was bruised considerably, but she
miracuously escaped serious injury.

Old Home Week In
augurated With Bon
Fires, Noies, Etc.

With the roar and shock of dynamite
Reynoldsvilles great Old Home Week
celebration was ushered in one minute
after midnight Sunday. Immediately
after the reverberation had died away
the air was filled with pandemonium
of whistles, shrill and hoarse, of church
bells and cannon on three hills,
east, west and north OF the town huge
bon fires shot high into the air and IL
Illuminated the valleys far and near.
Firemen run out the hook and ladder
wagon and the clangor OF the noisy
bell made Main street merry. A mar.
tial band got busy and their music was
punctuated with revolver shots and
cheers. For ten minutes the town was
turned into perfect bedlam to express
the joy of its citizens at anticipated
pleasure. The noise ended ten minutes
after almost as suddenly as it began,
but the fires smoldered long into the
morning.
Even so 1t will be with this celebra-
tion we have planned for Reynolds
vile. For one week the town will be in
a blaze of glory, attracting attention
far and near by the effort it is putting
forth. But let do citizen forget that
the purpose of this reunion is not mere
ly for the sake of weeks excite
ment, but for the eternal welfare of the
community. The week of glory will
end, but its effects will remain for many
years. And the duration Of the stimu-
lation will be in exact proportion to the
effort expended by each Individual now.

Cunningham is Popular.

Freddie Cunningham, the tight rope
walker, is becoming a great favorite
with the lads OF Reynoldsville. Seeing
him on the rope, acting with perfect
ease and skill, one would suppose him
a veteran in the business. Actually, he
is but fifteen years OF age and has been
at his present dangerous avocation but
three years. AS mere youngster in
Kittanning he delighted in walking on
fences, on tight clothes lines and in
every other form OF aerial feats and
and gradually gained such skill that he
was sought after by surrounding towns
for public exhibitions. To-day it is
doubtful if he has an equal or superior
in ease of action while high in the air
and in danger of momentary death.
Last night his exhibition drew very
large crowd and he repeated his success
full feats Of the afternoon

Dream That Came True.

Rev. G. S. Womer, of Hollidaysburg,
an erstwhile Reynoldsville boy, in a
reminiscent talk in the M. E. church at
this place Sunday night, told of dream
that came true in his early boyhood
days. On the commons, near where
A. 7. Mcclure now lives on Main
street, then owned by Archie Campbell,
were some apple trees on which some
Very sour apples grew. One evening
Mrs. Womer told George that she
wanted him to get her few OF those
apples the following morning to use in
some jelly she wanted to make. That
night George dreamed that he had
climbed an apple tree and while knock
ing apples off the tree very cross
looking old woman, with a broomstick
in one hand, suddenly appeared under
the tree and In no gentle tone demand
ed that he come down out Of the tree
Immediately, which he did as quickly
as possible, and only by quick action
escaped the broomstick. In the morn
ing, forgetting the dream, George
went after the apples and while on the
tree Mrs. Archie Campbell suddenly
appeared, with broomstick In hand, and
the dream of the night before became
reality. He escaped the broomstick.

Kerchew is Under Ban.

People on the street last night were
greatly annoyed by the presence OF
snuff in the air which caused continual
sneezlng. 1t finally became so bad that
Chief-of-Police Adelsperger run three
gentlemen into the lookup and kept
them for time. They we're given a
hearing and plead that they did not
know that the throwing OF snuff was a
criminal offense, and were only doing
as many other fun seekers were. The
three men we're released with warning
not to throw the sneezy stuff again.
Snuff should be prohibited on the nov
city stands. When they commenced
its use last night many left the street,
unable to stand the tickling sensation
in nose and throat.

Special Services
In Two Of The
Local Churches

In the Methodist Episcopal church
Sunday evening minister of the pie
neer days of Jefferson county, DR.. r. s.
Borland OF Mercer, delivered sermon
from the words OF the Preacher of Jer-
usalem, MAN goeth to his long home"
and it was filled with allusions to the
memories of early days when his vii
lage, Brookville, was practically the
only town in Jefferson county, when
Reynoldsville consisted of a few settlers
homes and Luthersburg was the only
hamlet OF size along the early turnpike
in this section.
When DR.. Borland closed his address
the Rev. George Sylvester Womer
now of Hollidaysburg, Pa, spoke of his
boyhood days in Reynoldsvile, of the
landmarks that have disappeared and
the familiar faces that remain. The
whole service was appropriate to the
occasion.
In the Baptist church DR.. A. j. Meek
took for his text words found ip He
brews 3:13, devoting his remarks to the
need of watchfulness on the part of
young and old and made his remarks
especially pertinent to the occasion.
He said in substance; "The citizens
OF our town have planned for the cele-
bration Of Old Home Week, having In
view four things: First, better ac-
quaintance to break over formality, to
become more sociable. Second, to
bring back former citizens. renew old
acquaintances and form new friendships
The eternal changes of time have
transformed the town and its citizens.
Many have moved away, called hence
by business interests. The Old Home
Week says, come back and see how we
are getting along and tell us your own
lived here are strangers to many who
live here now Some will be here who
were born here, reared, live and still
stay; some who were here in the infancy
OF Reynoldsville and are now gone afar;
some who have lived here few years
only. We extend welcome to all and
the spirit OF friendship should be SUI
preme. Fourth object, to advertise
our town. Not every person in the
union has heard OF Reynoldsville, yet
the products Of its industries go far and
wide. Its leather, coal, glass, brick,
macaroni, woolen and silk products,
steel construction work, etc., are dis
tributed all over the United States and
thousands are more comfortable through
the use Of our. manufactured products.
For these reasons we have extended an
invitation to all to come. We have
happy community ana we want people
to know it. We. have decorated our
streets lavisbly and on every hand 10
the evidence OF welcome.

Friday Constable Leech took Mrs.

running speakeasy. Mr.. Provehzono
