Brltt, who had been pas tor of the Plgah Presbyterian church at Corsica twenty-eight years, and was known to a large number of Reynoldsvllle people, having prt-ached in the Presbyterian church at this place a number of times, dropped dead at bis home in Corsica at 4 00 p. m. Wednesday afternoon of last week. He bad been out vlsittrg a parlshoner and had juBt returned home. He had not complained of being ill and was in apparently good health, hence bis sudden death, without illness, was a severe shock to the people of Corsica and surrounding community. Rev. Britt was universally beloved, not only by his congregation, but by a wide community in which his high personal character was known. He was well known throughout this seotlon and was one of the most prominent oiergymen in the Clarion preBbytery. He is survived by his wife, two sons and a daughter. The children were all absent from home at the time of his death, being pupils at the Grove City college. Take Your Choice. "The Volunteer Organist" appeared at Park theatre Monday evening and played to a fair audience. It was on the welo-dramatio order and the pathos and humor appealed very Btrongly to a portion of the audience. It dealt with certain phases of the liquor question, and the relation of the church to vic tims of Intemperance, and Incidentally there, was a lot of moralizing about hypocrisy in religious and social life that may have been more palatable to sinners than saints if there were any of the latter present. There were some who said it was better than a sermon, There were others who would have preferred hearing moralizing of that kind from the pulpit rather than ho stage. There was humor In the play, and it was not bad. For the average theatre-goer would rather laugh with a lover than weep over the woes of in ebriety. Evangelistic Meetings. The special meetings In the Presby terian church closed last Friday even ing and Rev. J. S. Scherer, of Endeav or, who was assisting Rev. McKay, re turn id home Saturday. The evangelistto meetings in the Bap tist church will continue all this week. Rev. A. D. McKay, pastor of the Pres byterian church, preached a good ser mon in Baptist church Monday even ing. , Rev.

I have received a statement for 1906 tax, $5.06, unless paid or arranged for in 30 days will be collected according to law. Now I cannot pay this tax, for I have nothing to pay with. I own no property of any kind. I have only made my home here three months In five years. These taxes are unjust. 1 don't see bow poor people with property can exist and pay tax, if they are assessed accordingly as I am. I do not claim residence here in Reynoldsvllle, I have not lived here, nor do I expect to. Harry Belnap. Telegraph College.

One of the largest crowds that ever attended a hasknt ball game in Reyn oldsvllle saw the Butler Independents defeat the Reynoldsvllle team Friday evening in Park theatre. The score was 63 to 19 and Butler bad the lead from the start. Reynoldsville's five did not have tbetr usual speed, due to lack of recent practice, but credit for the victory is due solely to the magnificent team work and superb shooting of the visitors. They had a systematic little trick of throwing the ball the whole length of the floor and shooting it into the basket a second later, and worked it with a regularity astonishing to be hold. Butler's skill gained liberal ap plause. It was not until near the close of the game that the Reynoldsvllle players rose to the situation and in a final rally were able to effectively check Butler's tactics, preventing a still larger score. The game was very ex citing and greatly appreciated by the big crowd. Bert A. Hoffman, 'of the R. H. S. team, refereed and the game was clean and free from kicking. A five from Indiana played at the Park Theatre last night and a very pretty conteBt developed. The Reyn oldsvllle boys showed more speed and skill than in the game with Butler and secured a big lead in the first half. They needed all by the time the second half ended for Indiana took a Bpurt and It required fast playing to prevent them from winning out. Final score: Reyn oldsvllle 29, Indiana 23.

Mrs. S. S. Robinson Succwnbed to Pneu monia at 10.20 a. m. Wednesday of Last Week Funeral was Held at the Residence Friday Afternoon One by one our friends and neighbors are singled out by the grim reaper and taken from our midst Into the great beyond. The angel of death Is through out the land st all hours and at all seasons ; listen when and where you will you can almost hear the boating of its wings. At 10.20 a. m. Wednesday, February 6, 1907, the messenger of death visited the home of our esteemed townsman, S. S. Robinson, and claimed the estimable woman that had been his life's companion for well nigh thirty- eight years. Mrs. Robinson, whose maiden name was Emma E. Mundorff, was the daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Mundorff, deceased. Her father died In 1864. She was born in Punxsutawney July 24, 1848, and would have been 59 years old next July. Septembor 15, 1869, she was united in marriage to S. S. Robinson at Punxsutawney, Rev. David Latshaw performing the wedding ceremony. In 1895 Mr. Robinson and family moved from Hazelton, Kan., to Reynoldsvllle and have become one of the prominent and foremost families of town in church and social circles. Mrs. Robinson possessed all the qual ities of a noble christian woman. She was an ideal wife and mother. She seldom allowed anything to interfere with her dutios to her home and family. Her uniform courtesy and kind dispo sition won for her many friends. She united with the M. E. church at Mer cer, Pa., in 1872, during the pastorate of Rev. E. J. L. Bakrr. At time of her demlBe she was president of the M. E. Foreign Missionary Society and treas urer of the M. E. Helping Hand Society. She lived a quiet and consistent chris tian life, and left unmistakable testimo ny of her faith in God. Her's was a real triumphant death. While enjoying the bleBBlng of health and strength Mrs. Robinson was timid about talking about death, and never cared to discuss that subject, but when she came near the gates oi death and was informed that her lamp of life would soon go out, she talked freely to her husband and child ren of hnr departure and of bow good and kind the Heavenly Father had been to her, how graciously He was sustain ing her, and as she was entering the "valley of the shadow of death" she could say, "Thou art with me; thy rod and thy Btaff they comfort me." She was ready for the transition and bad no fear of it. She was reluctant to sever the earthly ties with her loved ones, yet she was submissive to the Lord's will. She was conscious to the last and never, for a moment, did she doubt the Lord's presence with her, robbing death of its Bting. Mrs. Robinson is survived by her hus band, three daughters, one boo and one brother, Misses Erma A., Caroline M., Nelle L. and Graydon M., at home, and George H. Mundorff, of DuBois. - . Funeral services were held at the family residence on Grant street at 3.00 p. m. Friday, conducted by Dr. J. A. Parsons, pastor of the M. E. church, assisted by Dr. A. J. Meek, of the Bap tist, and Rev. A. D. McKay, of the Presbyterian church. Interment waa made in the- Rynoldsvllle cemetery. Hughes & Fleming bad charge of the funeral. The floral tribute was elaborate and beautiful, consisting of set pieces and bouquets from Utopia Society, of which Mrs. Robinson was a member, M. E. Missionary Society, M. E. Helping Hand Society, trustees of M. E. churcb, Ingelow Club, M. E. choir, junior class of blgb school, and a number of neigh bors and friends. The following out of lown relatives and friends attended the funeral : G. W. RobinBon and daughter, Miss Ar ietta Robinson, of Tionesta, Mrs. Eliza, bath Stone-Robinson, of Beaver, Pa., Mrs. O. N. Wilson and Al. Wilson, of Kittannlng, Harry Wilson and J. S, Bowers, of Franklin, Mrs. Laura Brew, er, Roy Brewer, Mrs. E. W. Robinson, Henry Mundorff, Mrs H. L.
