The Sizerville Encampment

TO the Editor Of the Press
AS the date for the Boys Brigade
Encampment at Sizerville, August 18th
to 18th, is drawing very near, should
like, through your columns, to urge up
on the boys and their parents the i'm
portance of taking hold earnestly dur
ing these last days to make the En-
campment success The Boys Bri-
GAGE has proved itself an organization
Of estimable value for the boys, but let
us not forget that its continued success
and usefulness arc dependent upon
the loyalty and interest of the boys
and upon the cooperation of parents
and friends. Parents are under obli-
cations to see that the boys attend the
drills, show proper respect and obed-
ience to orders, and keep their dues
paid up; and also to help them in every
necessary way.
In regard to the Encampment, we
desire as large an attendance of the
members of the companies as possible.
am trying to find out Just who ex-
pect to go and who do not, and / ask
those who are yet in uncertainty to de-
eide definitely at once and let me know.
The Encampment expense, so far as
each individual boy is concerned will
not exceed $500. That amount will
about pay for the provisions. There
WILDE some general battalion expenses
in connection with the Encampment
which we shall have to meet by public
subscription. 1t will be necessary for
each boy who goes to camp to pay this
$500.
Since the first organization of Com
pany Nj. have kept detailed account
of all moneys received and expended
by me for the company. I shall be
glad to chow this account to any one,
at any time. At the first of the pres
ent year the total receipts since the
beginning of the company, were $780,
80; expenditures, $376.75, the difference
of $780, having been advanced for
the company. Since then I have re.
ceived for the company $51.73, and
have expended $36.03, reducing the
above deficit to $14.55. In this state
ment is not included some SIG. 90, the
proceeds of Tag-Day and athletic
events, July 9Th.
1t is desired by Captain Ellis that
every member of both companies be
present next Monday evening. Major
Bliss expects to be present for final
review before Camp.
The Ridgway companies expect to
| arrive by the noon train on Wednes-
day, August 18th. The companies will
meet them at the station and escort
them to the place of drill, where the
Ridgway boys will be assigned as
guests of the Emporium boys for
dinner. After dinner the battalion
will form and march to Sizerville

Bright Prospects.

Never in the history of this county
have the prospects looked better than
new. Soon, within few days, every
labor employing plant in the county
will be in fall blast, employing hun
dreds of mon. The repairs at the Iron
Furnace will be completed within a
few days, the coke operations repaired
and with railroad up Sterling Run
for distance of % miles to tap the
new coal veins on the Noyes and Duffy
lands, as we'll as other purchases the
Emporium Iron Co., will have plenty
of good coking coal-the old Mt. Hope
Vein-to last many years.
The prospects for boom in Empori-
um are good and it is up to our citizens
70 get move on and relegate the
"knockers'' to the rear. All citizens
should take an unselfsh interest in our
town and work for the advancement of
every new project or industry that will
push our town aud county to the front.
With sensible, sane and persistent eff
forts we can make this little county
rank with the larger counties, at least
from business stand, if not area.
Our already worldwide reputation as
the dynamite centre, has and now is,
attracting attention this way. Let us
be up and doing and get aboard Uncle
Sans band wagon, now preparing for
the greatest era of prosperity ever
known in the past.

a Chinese or a chop suey eating
house and has sent to China for ma

use the money for the establishment
Of a Chinese museum. He is plan
ming for his country the largest Chi

Is his opinion that enough money
can be made in the restaurant ven
ture in a few months TO establish
the museum. The building for the
restaurant will be the home OF the
museum. Leopold has secured CO
operation of some prominent Chi
nese, who will help him select OBJ
jects of art for the museum.
He favors this method OF raising
funds as an easier methods than
that OF securing subscriptions He
intimates that persons who have
