| The celebration OF the glorious Fourth
was very quiet with us as most of our
people went to other places for the day,
and there were not enough left here to
make big time.
Mr.. and Mrs. d. W. Downey spent the
fourth at Watson Farm, the guests of the
f. A. Littlefield family, former residents
of this place.
The John Black family spent the fourth
at Blacks Corners with relatives and re-
turned the first of the week.
o. L. Rupert and sons attended the
celebration at Mayburg and report the
day very pleasant one. The parade
was very good and the ideas represented
were pleasing to the extreme. The music
furnished by the Kellettville band was
very good and showed clearly the ability
of the players of this organization. The
day passed off without any trouble of any
kind until the ball game was called, then
II had to rain as usual, but Kellettville
got enough time to put the cat onto the
Mayburg team to the tune of several
scores to nothing. In the evening the
pyrotechnic display was indeed grand,
but when spark set the rockets flying
everyway there was some excitement for
the time being. Edward Burch, who
was on police duty, was hit by rocket
while on the railroad and at first it was
thought his injuries were OF a serious
nature, but after close examination by
were not of a serious nature, although It
will cause Mr.. Burch to lose week or so.
Two weddings in week is the record
Of Minister since our last writing. Harry
Smith and Miss Irma Archer, and Mr..
Daily and Miss Jennie Brown. There
will be great serensde when these people
come back and our readers will possibly
hear some humor next week.
Wm. v. Miller, Gen. Supt. for National
Transit Co., of Oil City, PASSED through
our village on Sunday last and called on
Rupert, who is an old acquaintance. We
observed that he had very pretty car.
d. L. Bean of Blue Jay passed through
our village Sunday with a new car, on
his way back from Cory and Titusville.
There was lot of our people out on
July third, and not all of them behaved
like gentlemen, we are told. We hope
| they will every one be forgiven though.
Mrs. Breneman and children spent the
fourth at Marienville, her former home,
and remained a week with friends there
before returning.
Joe 0'Chin to is the possessor Of new
bicycle and is learning its peculiarities,
which he is rapidly overcoming and is
getting along nicely.
L. II. Downey will begin to build his
new residence this week with E. l.. Lit
tetield the master mechanic. You can
take it from me that the house will be
put up in first class shape, as Lafe is no
shirk, but good workman.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Blum were calling
on their old neighbors here on Sunday
last. They have rented their house TO a
family who will live here this winter.
Il. T. Downey will move into the
Frank Littlefield house while his own
house is being razed to make room for
the new one.
There we're preaching services at the
Minister church on Sunday by c. Il.
Arters but the attendance was small. In
the absence of the organist o, L. Rupert
presided at the organ, and although it is
not his instrument, he made good any
way.
Mrs. David Cole entertained her father,
mother and sister on Sunday last. They
live near Tionesta and the name is Wsg-
ner.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Stover and daughter
of Tionests are the guests of the l.. X.
Brennan family at Minister for few
days.
