Remember if you have pledged

turn out because this means as much

you have lost a day to cast your vote

And here | ask you to study the
remarks Of James n. Banks, sec'y Of
the Association, upon the election Of
delegates and executive officers,
which in part are as follows:
do not know Of a single candi-
date for any Office who is not a strong
friend Of the Association. Many of
the candidate are not members Of the
Associstion-because not eligible to
membership. And yet some Of the
gentlemen who are not eligible to
membership IN the Association, be-
cause producers of tobacco, are,
nevertheless, members Of the Society
Of Equity; to which society all good
citizens of good and approved charac-
ter in accord with farmers co.opera-
ton are eligible.
Members. of the Association should
therefore be extremely careful, and
extremely impartial, lest they be
charged with running the Associa-
ton into politics. The Association
needs the sympathy and support OF
men of all parties, whether Demo.
Gratis, Republicans, Independents OF
Socialists. In this Association are
members who belong to ali parties.

day one OF the executive committee
stated the true position Of the Asso-

Augusta, KY, July l5.-At q
meeting of the Bracken county Board
of Control of the American Society
Of Equity, strong resolutions were
passed condemning the selling Of
pooled tobacco to spectators. Since
the success Of the tobacco growers
movement has been assured, several
tobacco buyers aud spectators have
been going over the county purchas-
ing crops that have been signed up,
paying therefor between nine and
twelve cents, but are willing to let
the tobacco remain in the pool and
be graded. The Board Of Control is
out in q statement in which is stated
that any one buying or selling pooled
tobacco will be prosecuted, under the
Crecillius law.

MELODY QUARTETTE CONCERT.

The concert at the Normal on
Tuesday evening by the Melody
Female Quartette of Philadelphia,
was a very excellent one. The pro-
gram was popular one, and each
of the ladies was warmly received.
Mrs. Osbourn was required to re-
spond to second encore, and each
of the others were recalled. Mrs.
Gilbert was given hearty welcome
by her many friends. Her voice
was never better than now.
Misses Barclay and MacNamara,
though strangers here, at once
leaped into popularity. They have
charming soprano voices, which are
highly cultured. Miss Barclay is
also pianist of unusual skill, and
delighted the audience with solo.
The quartette is fully the equal
of most of the bureau organizations
that give similar entertainments,
and by far superior to most of them.
If they could be secured for the
Institute Course, or for the Stu
dents Lecture Course, they would
fill the bill admirably.

A CURIOUS INCIDENT.

A week or two ago Col. Freeze
with his sister, Mrs. Quick, and
DR.. VanH Horn and wife, drove to
the Exchange in Montour county,
where the Col. and his sister had
resided with their parents, many
years ago, being desirous to see
once again the place or their young
life. The Col. reports great changes
according to his recollection, which
he needs not to specify.
The purpose of this note is to
answer an inquiry of late citizen,
as to when he lived at THE Ex-
change"
1t was a question he could not at
the time, answer. Subsequently,
however, going over some circum-
stances of his early life, especially
his life there, he recalled an indie
pendent fact. While living there
as boy, he remembered being in
field along the roadside above the
mill and dwelling house, with the
farm hands planting corn in the
good old way, three or four boys
dropping corn, followed by three or
four men covering, ard man and
horse and plow furrowing out.
While thus engaged, gentleman
came along on horseback, and he
was stopped by the farm hands and
inquired of him for the news
Among the things he told us was,
that the news had been received
that Santa Ana, the Mexican COM
mander, had taken the Texan Fort,
the Alamo, and had killed in cold
blood, all the Texans who had sur
vived the fight.
The story had such an effect up
OH my young imagination, that for
months was expecting Santa Ana
and his Mexicans on the banks Of
the Chillisquaque.
That incident l laid hold of to
fix the date as to when we lived at
the place we were visiting. On our
return home, I took up Harper s
Book of Facts, and turning 70 the
word Alamo, found that the Fort
was taken March 6, 1896. Thus a
date was fixed beyond peradven-
ture.

BEAUTIFUL MEMORIAL SERVICE.

The members of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows of this town
conducted a beautiful memorial
service on Tuesday evening, when
they marched to Rosemont Gene
terry, headed by the citizens Band,
and placed flowers on the graves of
their deceased brothers. They form
ed a circle around the fountain and
Rev. J. d. Thomas offered prayer
after which a few remarks were
made in regard to the decoration of
the graves by r. A. Hicks. Mr..
Thomas then read appropriate YER
ses from the Bible in honor of the
dead, in each of the three divisions
of the cemetery, a committee of six
persons having been appointed to
decorate the graves in each division.
AS the varses were read the COM
mittees started out and placed the
flowers which had been brought by
members, on the graves of the fifty
deceased members of this or any
lodge of Odd Fellows. While the
graves were being decorated the
Citizens band rendered delightful
sacred concert.

DOES THIS HIT YOU2

We avoid dunning notices in the
paper just as much as possible, but
are sometimes forced to do it.
About two weeks ago personal let
ters were sent to number of sub
scribers whose arrearages aggregate
several hundred dollars, asking for
a settlement of their accounts, as,
the postal rules require that post
age must be paid on all papers more
than year in arrears.
To these letters just a single re-
ply has been received. People who.
do not appreciate our patience and
leniency, must not expect our fav-
ors to continue much longer. Those
above referred to will get no more
notices, but We are going to get
busy pretty soon, and then there
will be some costs to pay. Don't
wait too long. That's all

FOUND DEAD.
Civil War Veteran Who Died While He Slept

Frank Lentz, who resided a halt
mile this side of Roaring Creek, on
the Pennsy., was found dead in his
cabin, where he lived alone, early
Monday morning by his sister and
law, Mr.. and Mrs. James
Drum, who missing him investigat-
ed his whereabouts. He was found
lying across the bed, dead. Heart
failure had evidently been the cause.
He was aged 68 years, and had liv-
ed alone for number of years.
The deceased was in good spirits
when he retired on Sunday night
and nothing was thought to be the
matter with him.
Deputy Coroner Sutton, OF Ber-
wick, was notified, but after an in
vestigation he did not think an in
quest was necessary.
J. N. Oberdorf, neighbor, was
present when the dead body OF
Lentz was discovered. The deceas-
ed, he said, was a veteran OF the
civil war. On Sunday he boasted
that he expected to live to be one
hundred years of age.

WILL ASK FOR A PARDON.

At the sitting of the Board of
Pardons at Harrisburg on Wednes-
day the 18th of this month, an ap-
plication for the full pardon OF An
tonic and Fortunate Calabro, who
are now serving time in the Eastern
penitentiary, having been convicted
of extortion and other charges at
the time of the Black Hand raid,
will be made by John G. Harman
and Clyde G. Yetter, attorneys Ell
gagged by relatives and friends of
the two Calabros.
The claim for pardon will be
based largely on the fact that John
Zongrone, one of the strong wit
nesses against the Calabras, has
been proven just as bad as the Cal
abras and that he is now serving a
term in the Pen" having been
convicted in the Columbia county
courts of attempted intimidation.
The Calabras have many inhuen-
tial friends in this country and their
father is well-to-do resident and
Mayor of his home town in Italy.

SATURDAY COURT.

A sh ort session of court was held
on Saturday afternoon at o'clock
When court opened, Associate
Judge Krickbaum resumed his sea
on the bench, where the Supreme
Court replaced him. Some of his
admiring friends had provided two
large bouquets at his seat. There
was nothing sensational in the event.
Judge Evans and Judge Krickbaum
had met in front Of the court house
shortly before, where they cordially
shook hands.
The following business was trans
acted:
In the divorce proceedings of
Mellick VS.. Mellick the Court re-
fused to grant divorce on the
ground that the service of the sub
poena had been irregular. The re-
spondent lives out of the state and
the Court said that an alias subpoe-
na should issue.
In the matter of the application
of the Fraternal Order cf Eagles of
Berwick, for a charter for club,
the Court filed an opinion refusing
to grant the charter for the reason
that the object of the club contain
ed in the petition was too vague
and indefinite.
In the case of George Newhall
Company limited, VS.. The Penna.
Paper Mills, c. w. Miller, Esq,
withdrew the reason filed for new
trial and judgment was allowed to
be entered for So, 900 in accordance
with verdict.
In the matter of the assessment
Of benefits in the opening of East
Fourth street, in the Town of
Bloomsbury, rule was granted to
show cause why an appeal should
not be allowed.
Anthony Smilkies, who at the
last term of court was prosecutor in
surety of the peace case, which
the Grand Jury ignored and direct
ed him to pay the costs, was brought
before the Court by the Sheriff. At
the time of the suit he lived at Cen
tralia, and subsequently moved to
Mt. Carmel. and it was long time
before Constable Langdon could To-
cate him. He finally found him,
however, and brought him to be
dealt with by the Court. The costs
amounted to about $40, which he
was told he must pay or 60 to Jail.
He chose the latter, although Con-
stable Langdon stated that he had
bank book showing a considera-
bic deposit in Mt. Carmel bank.
Testimony was heard by the Court
upon the application for a guardian
for Mary c. Robbins, a weak
minded person now in the Danville
hospital. Her son, Ward Robbins,
was appointed guardian. Bond to
be approved by the Court.

JOHN K. GR0Tz,
OIdos, Resident Passes Away.

Iohn K. Grotz, the Oldest resi-
dent of Bloomsbury, anc probably

Main street at O'Clock Tuesday
morning. He would have been oS

On Monday night week he at
tended a meeting of the directors
of Rosemont Cemetery Co., of
which he had been a director for
MANY years, at the office OF Col.
Freeze on Centre street. He SEEM
ed to be in his usual health, but at
the close of the meeting he was un-
able to arise from his chair. AS
sisting him to his feet, c. A. Klein
proposed to walk home with him,
but Mr.. Grotz declined the offer,
saying he was all right, and needed
no assistance. Several of the other
members remained to do some work,
and Mr.. Grotz went out. On reach
ing Townsend's corner his legs
gave way and he fell to the pave
ment, and was carried home, and
never left his bed afterward. No
injuries appeared from the fall, and
it was the final breaking down OF
the vital forces that caused his
death.
He is survived by the following
children, his wife having preceded
him to the grave a number of years
ago: Mrs. Norman J. Hendershott,
Harry {. Grotz and H. H. Grotz,
all of town.
Mr.. Grotz was born October 20,
1910, near Catawissa, and later

his father, Abraham Grotz, in 1910.
He began to learn the harness max
er's trade in September, 1926, and
in 1888 opened shop at the head
of Market street. In 1885 he
bought the lot upon which the
present Grotz homestead now
stands. He erected a dwelling liv-
ing there until 1886. although in
1S4e he built the brick structure
still standing. From 1850 he car
ried on a tanning business in Hem
lock township, retiring in 1870.
He was ne of othe directors and

ing Company. He was a director
of the Bloomsbury & Sullivan R.
X. until the time of his death.
He was a man of wonde rful vi
tality, and had been i'll but few
times in his life. He walked out

and possessed all of his mental fac
ulties to a remarkable degree.

U. s. TROOPERS IN TOWN.
Pitch Their Camp on the Fair Grounds

Three troops of United States
Cavalry arrived in Bloomsbury on
Monday morning at 8 O'Clock, and
established their camp on the fair
grounds. They were companies F,
G., and II. of the Thirteenth Cav
airy of the regular army.
The troops are from Fort Meyer,
Va, and are on their way to Pine
Plains, New York, to take part in
the regular cavalry maneuvers to
be held there in connection with
the buick mobilization of the army
Of the department of the East.
The three troops comprised over
two hundred mounted men. The
main body was preceded by an ad-
vance guard of two scouts.
Officers and enlisted men, alike
wore slouch hats and olive drab
uniforms. The officers wore leather
leggins, while the privates wore
leggins of canvas and this appeared
to be the only difference in the uni.
forms.
1t was not long after their arriv
al that the camp was placed in
shape for living. Eight large COW
cred wagons that accompanied the
troops arrived about an hour after
the three companies had reached
town. These contained the camp
equipment and the tents were soon
unloaded and placed in position.
An ambulance accompanied the
troops, but this was empty, there
being no soldier seriously i'll, al
though one or two were indisposed.
The troops are commanded by
Colonel Dickman who bears mark
ed resemblance to President Roose-
welt. He, as we'll as the five oific
ers under him, saw service in the
Spanish sh-American war.
On Monday evening and during
Tuesday the soldiers had the privi-
leges of the town, and they ex-
pressed theii admiration for our
burg. They made many acquaint
ances, and were pleased with the
attentions shown. The fair grounds
were thronged with visitors all the
time.
On Tuesday evening at 6:45 the
troops began their march to Beach
Haven, where they remained over
night.
The first troop was mounted on
sorrel horses exclusively, the Sec
ond troop on black horses and the
third OH bay horses. The horses
without exception had the appear
ance of being fine, well-kept ami
mails, while the men were accom-
plished riders.
1t is said that every horse i'll the
three troops has been especially
trained by his rider.
The line of march was up Main
street, and the avenue was throng-
ed from end to end to see the un-
usual sight. From Beach Haven
they went to Kingston, and from
there will go today to Pine Plains,
n. Y, by cars.
