An all-day meeting was held at New
mansville on the Fourth by the Free
Methodist brethern of the vicinity. One
of the pleasing features of the meeting
was lecture by Mrs. Rosa Hunter Smith,
recently returned from the missionary
field in East Africa. AT the close of the
lecture voluntary Offering was taken at
which the handsome sum of $500 was
realized.
Great excitement prevailed at Ri
mersburg, over in Clarion county on the
Fourth. The Italians attempted to raise
their national flag and the proceedings
were objected to on the part Of some of
the residents. A fight resulted in which
a number of shots were exchanged. One
American was shot in the arm by an Ital-
ian and the gang of Italians were chased
down the road and into coal mine where
they were kept until next day. Some
thirty shots we're exchanged,

The Kellettville and PeasantYille
last Saturday afternoon aud the Pleasant
Vile boys walked off with rather an easy
victory by score of 8 to 6, due princi-
pally to the inability of Kellettville's
first catcher to hold the speedy ones sent
in by his pitcher. The hill top boys got
a lead of seven runs in the first three
innings aud could not be headed off.
The batteries were, Kelettville, Hayes,
Bowes and Watson; Pleasantville, Rob
inson and Sheehau.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carol Smith and their
two daughters, Beulah and Blanche, are

years as missionaries for the Free Metho-
dist church They expect to remain in
this country for at least a year before their
return to the mission field. On Wednes-
day evening, July 20, they will give a

native dialect. There will also be on ex-
hibition a collection of curios. All are

F. h. Lanson took head first tumble
down the back stairs at his home at an
early hour last Saturday morning. On
account of the oppressive heat all the
lights were turned off and while on his
way to the bathroom Mr.. Lsnson entered
the wrong door, falling clear to the bot
tom of the long stairs. He alighted on
his head and hands and for few minutes
was unconscious. His injuries were con-
fined to the dislocating the second joint
of the second finger on his left hand and
some severe bruises about the head and
shoulders, but he has so far recovered as
to be about his usual work at the store
His escape from more serious injury was
little short of miraculous.

The following complime ntary notice
of a well known Forest county musical
aggregation is found in the Kane Repub-
lican's account of the Fourth of July cell
ebration in that hustling city: At seven
o'clock the Kellettville and Sheffield
bands rendered concerts, the former in
front OF the New Thomson House, and
the latter in front of the New Fleming
and other points on Fraley street. The
concert by the Kellettvile band was
most thoroughly enjoyed by all who had
lections. The band is an excellent one,
showing that they have most competent
instructor and leader in Mr.. +. b. Rob-
bins. He is surely man who under
, stands his business. 1t is an organization
that any town might we'll feel proud of.
