The last number OF the public school
lecture course was given in Assembly

p. Elliott, OF Boston, in recital OF the
famous drama, "The Lion and the
Mouse" One of the largest crowds of

highly interested as we'll as pleased
with the readers portrayal of modern
financial and political conditions. 1.-THE
Lion" was John d. Rockefeller under q
fictitious name and II Mr.. Elliott's vivid
representation of him was correct he
is a decidedly unamiable old gentle
man. There we're seven different
characters to be represented OF widely
varied types and the reader has never
been surpassed In Reynoldsville in the
ease with which he carried the imagin-
alton of the audience from one person
or point to another. Altogether the
people had no reason to regret the fail
ure of Mr.. Gillian. the announced fifth
entertainer, to fill his date on the 1st

MONUMENT FOR OLD SOLDIERS.
Members of the @. A. R., Sons of Vet
Grams and w. r. C. Have Taken
the Matter in Hand.

A large monument Is to be erected In
the Reynoldsville cemetery in honor of
the dead soldiers Of this community.
The cemetery company has promised to
give suitable lot In the cemetery for
the monument. A joint meeting Of
members OF the G. A. r. Post, Sons Of
Veteran Camp and Womens Relief
Corps was held Monday evening and it
was decided to raise money by subscrip-
tion to erect the monument, which will
be something pretty nice, and why not?
Other towns rear monuments in honor
of their soldier dead, and were not the
soldier boys that went out from our
community just as brave and loyal as
any of the boys that ever shouldered a
gun? We say they we're and that an
imposing monument should be erected
to their memory. II every person gives
little, enough money can be raised to
erect a large monument and no one will
miss the amount they contribute. The
monument should not cost less than
$1,000.
Subscription papers will be in circu-
lation in few days and those who ask
for subscriptions for this fund, whether
1t be member of either OF the three
organizations mentioned above, will
wear G. A. r., S. of. V. or w. r. G.
pin, and any persons soliciting subscrip-
tions without one of these pins on can
be considered an impostor and should
be promptly refused subscription.
