DKATU I'LUCKS A DEAR ONE.—TIIO
tolling of the Lutheran church bell on
Sunday morning told the sul news <>f
the dentil of Ileilicit, the immgcsl von
of our townsman, &|r. S. I>. Musser.
His sickness was of very short dura
tion, starting with quinsy and after
waids forming into membraneous
croup, with a touch of diphtheria. Ev
efjrthing in the inwcr of. the attending
physicians was done to >nve the
precious young lite, lut to no avail,
God laid 01 da in yd diffeiently and Ills
will-was done. Herheit Was relit veil
l> death fiom his Severe stiugg'e tor
breath, incident lo the disease, aUoit S
o'clock on Salihath morning. Only
those who liave dear lit lie ones at home
can form an idea of the gilef of the sor
row-sLrickt-n 'jmivptir. in this tin Ir that
affliction, bui the sy'inpailiv of all is
Willi them, ilerliert was a bright little
boy, seven years of age, of a kind and
pleasant disposition, and was liked by
all who knew hint. While the 1 waved
parents feel their loss keenly, they have
the consoling consciousness that Her
bert rests safely in the arms of llun
who said "Suffer little chihiieo to couie
unto me, and forbid them not , for of
such is ltie Kingdom of lleaven." Her
bert was a regular and prompt attend
ant in the infant departments of the
Lutheran and Evangelical church and
his death is deeply uiourned hy his
teachers and schoolmates, who have
lost a beloved pupil and companion.
'The remains were taken from the
house to Kail vie A ceinetyry for burial
on Tuesday forenoon after which sol
emn and impressive sci vices were held
in the Lutheran church by lUy. M. L.
Deitg'er.
REAPER DEATH MOWS-DOWN AN

piessinns of Ileiln'it Mussn's death,
when the doleful stiokes of the church

er little one yesterday mqinjiig. Lyde,
the five-jear old daughter of Lewis To
bias, residing on North street, was call
ed away from this enrtlily spheie after
a sickness of only twq days. She cotn
plained of shre throat on last Sunday
afternoon which developed into diph
theria thq followiug day and restated in
her death Wednesday morning. She
was the smallest of the family and her
cUdbby, pleasant little face made her a
fivorite with her parents as well as
with others. Her death proves a heavy
blow to bee parents who dearly loved
and cherished liCtle Lyde.' The bei sav
ed family can only bow in christian
submission to the supreme u ill of our
.Creator who bus given and who lias ta
ken away. It is hardly necessary to
say that the community sincerely s> m
patbiZ'S with the sorrow ing parents in
tbeic deep affiiction. Lyde also was a
toeuiber of the Lutheran infant school,
which by her death loses another "ten
der little pilgrim" who has journeyed
to her heavenly home. The funeral
will take place this (Thursday) after
noon at 1 o'clock at the home.of Jacob
Alter, from whence the remains will lie
taken to Fairview cemetery tor inter

A DANOKUOUS EEL HEMIC THREAT
ENING. —Tbe very low state of water,
caused by the . dryness of the weather,
is claimed by our local physicians to be
the cause of the number of cases of
diphtheria which we have in town at
present, and which ha? already cost the
lives of two children. Ten new cases
of dyphtheria were reported to us by
two of the doctors jesterday morning.
Dan!. Garey'a children, one of Win,
Moyet's children and IV. M. Hart man's
son Reuben, aie down with it, while
several others show simptomsof the
disease. It will require the utmost
earje mid .strictest precautions to pre
vent lite spreading of this dangerous
disease * Our town people should see
to the purity of their cellars, use disin
fectants liberally, and pay proper at
tention to ventilation as well as to
what they eat and drink. It is well to
Like time by the forelock and. in-order
to avert or at least check the dreaded

PUBLIC SALE OF A LAKUE ESTATE.
—As will be sten by the large and at
tractive sale posters issued from this
office the valuable real estate of Daniel
Walker, dee'd, late of Miles township
is offered for sale by the executors of
said estate, sale to take place 011 Satui
day, Nov. stli, INN7. It consists of one
of the choicest fauns in Brushvalley,
with splendid buildings erected thereon,
and is at present occupied by Michael
Hisbel. Also the one-third interest in
another farm in the same township,
situate about 2 miles west of Wolf's
store. Also a tract of farmland of
about 18acres, which is in the high
est state of cultivation. And finally a
tract of tine timberlaud of 111 ncies.
covered with the very best of pine
timber. The whole will be offered for
sale on the iirst-named farm.
—Some people—business people, too—
think that it doesn't pay to brine a
crowd to tow n, says theSunbury Dem
ocrat, and they icgard the few dollars
grudgingly given to any such enter
prise as thrown away. Since Hunting,
don bad its big "blow out" last Sep.
temiier we find the following in one of
our exchanges :
"Does it pay to boom your town ?
Docs it pay to get up excitement? Does
it piy to have a Board of Trade? In
answer to this we ciie the recent cen
tennial at iluiitin don. The General
Committee closed up its financial mat
ters on Friday night last and reported
as follows: The total exjienses leached
SI7OO, of which S4OO was for tire-works,
$325 for balloon ascensions, $250 for
music S2OO for printing and the bal
ance for lucidtntal*. It is estimated
that between $50,000 and SIOO,OOO was
left in the town by visitors. One jewel
er sold $2500 worth of goods in five
da\s ami a clothier is said lo haye sold
S2OOO worth on Wednesday. The other
merchants did proportionally."
The JOURNAL has in several of its
former issues hinted that nex' year is
the time for Mi'lheim's centennial, the
town being then 100 years old, and as
we will strongly advocate an appropri
ate celebration of the event in future
issues, we advise our business men and
all other citizens to cut Huntingdon's
financial centennial statement out and
pin it into their hats for future refei
ence. More anon.
—Notwithstanding the cold and dis
agreeable weather on last Saturday the
Millheim band left town at 9 o'clock, a.
tn., sharp, to make the trip to Logans
ville, Clinton county and .attend the
baud festival there. They "were exactly
three hours on the roadjreaching their
destination precisely at 12 o'clock.
Thev were very cordially received by
the Logansville band, as well .is by the
citizens of that burg and were at once
conducted to the dinner tables in the
hall, where the lioys did full justice to
the good things spread out before tbeiu.
1 lie Salona band was also on hand at d
t" eir appetites seemed equally as keen.
In the afternoon the clouds which
hung over the sky all forenoon broke
and old Sol gladened the hearts of the
Logansville band boys by his laughing
sunbeams. Orders were then issued
for a street parade of the three bauds
and it was indeed a sight worth seeing
and a treat worth hearing. For an
hour the town fairly echoed with the
lively marches which the three bands
played alternately. In the evening a
sumptuous supper was partaken of and
after supper the large crowd of people
which gathered in the hall to pat
ronize the festival were splendidlyenter
tained by some select music from the
Salona and Millheim bands. When the
day was nearly i>eiit and the two visit
ing bands were about ready to depart
for home it was agreed by all the
members that they had a genuine good
time nnd'they could not speak highly
enough of the royal enteitaininent end
hospitable treatment received at the
hands of the Logansville band and citi
zens. It was indeed good to be ttiere
and we are also glad to report that the
Logansville band realized a snug sum
out of their festival.
