ing time for the little ones, where it
ought to be just the reverse.

tounding fact that Speer's Wines rais

such a reputation for purity and excell

Cherry saw an object on the track a

ning and tilted the boards of the walk

who passed by from services will re| eat
his infamous tiick he may find himself
minus several teeth. It will lie ex
tremely unhealthy for the young man if

would therefore better take warning
and save himself serious trouble.

—Who says our republican friends in
this county are not hungry for office.
There are no less than forty-four appli

to leave the present incumbent, Mr.
Rumberger, have the place another
term, as he knows something about the
work of the office and may lie able to
help the new board out of many a

—An amusing incident occurred last
week at J. W. Stover's butchering.
That gentleman's hogs which generally
weigh very heavy, had been duly dis
patched, dresstd and the meat was
readv to tie put away when Stover re
quested Mr. 11. 11. Weiser to salt down
the hams and season the sausages.
Weiser hastened to attend to this im
portant job and as told went over into
Stover's store room to get the necessary
salt. lie salted the meat and sausages
and everything went along smoothly
until the head butcher took occasion, to
taste the fresh sausage and pass judge
ment. Maize smacked his lips and
thought the sausages tasted unusually
sweet. The matter was further inves
tigated and it was discovered that the
hams were sugar cured and the
sausages had been given a good dose of
granulated sugar. Then it dawned
upon Mr. Weiser that lie must have
gotten a hold of the wrong barrel, and
there was a tableau.
—Taking advantage of the pleasant
weather the writer took a living trip to
Woodward on Saturday afternoou,
rough the richest and prettiest
agricultural region in the county.
Crops were good there last summer and
they promise to be so again next sum
mer, judging by the appearance of the
fall wheat. While at Woodward we
made it our business to call on Franz
(ieiger, the popular tailor, and found
him head over ears in work,with orders
to keep him in work for the next six
weeks. We also paid our resjiects to
merchant Waif and were agreeably sur
prised to find his stock very complete
and he himself as busy as a nailer.* On
our road home we made Fred. Iloster
naan, at Fiedler's, a pop visit, and we
had hard work to get at him behind the
huge pile of goods in his store. Fred
has a good stand and he knows exactly
how to run it successfully and draw a
large custom. Anybody who knows
what a wholesome set of people hold
forth in the lower vail<*y, and there are
very few who don't know, will readily
iinJerstand that our (rip was an ex
ceedingly pleasant one and bears repeti
tion.

severe attack of quinsy. Hi* jaw* were
stiff, consequently he could not eat for
some time La*t Sunday hi* neck broke
open, giving him much relief and lie is im
proving very fast
It nearly breaks Jumbo's heart to think
that he was the fault of the s;ul disappoint
ment which the two lovers exjierleuced on
last Saturday evening.
Again two of our young folks decided
that to ltve in partnership was more pleas
ant than to worry through life single
handed. They consequently took 111*111
themselves the vows of man ami wife. The
subjects of this item are EUas Zerby and
Anna Mover. We are unuhlc to give the
details of the wedding, tmt presume the
lartiu* concerned enjoyed them selves. We
wish them all the possible joy and good
luck.

Court week and a number of Peum* Val
ley ftdks in attendance thereat. A numlier
of our citizens took a sudden notion to go
hunting this week as game has been rejtor
ted very plenty.
Perry Stover liad the misfortune to have
his horse run out of the shafts, throw him
down and tramp on hi* breast, injuring
him so that he has been contlued to hi* bed.
Frank Higgins, of Poe Mill*, had hi*
arm broken on Sunday last by falling over
1 a stick. Dr. Frank was called In to set the
1 arm.
The work on the new church has been
stopped for over a week on account of the
irtiHtt itoiia uv Mn* We learn they
were shipped from Pittsburgh on Saturday
last and as soon as they reach here work
will begin and the roof will lie put ou.
Then it will lie left for completion next
1 summer. The slate for the roof are ou the
ground.
The lecture in Millheim 011 Saturday eve
-1 ning promise* to la* a success : and it should
tie as all who attend will get the worth of
! their money, besides helping along
1 a good and grand work. So we would urge
our Coburu people to turn out and assist in
this work and hear something that will
benefit all.J
The Sunday school here will have a
Chi istmas entertainment for the benefit of
the children.
Mrs. John Wcibly Is away visiting for a
week and that accounts for John l**ing so
downhearted.
Bob Vonada seems to be glad that he is
i jMst master this week as he think* an em
' ployec of Uncle Sam cannot Is* taken to
| Bellefonte on short notice.
Two engine* attached to the freight 011
Monday is a good sign that the business of
the road is picking up considerably.
We noticed several communications late
ly in regard to the Turnpike Co. There is
a little pike running from Coburu to Mill
bciui that uersls some looking after and
should certainly lie put 011 the township.
The township roads here are none of the
l*st but along side of this pike they are ex
cellent. There seem* to be no effort
made to keep the road In even ordinary re
pair. All the company seems to care for is
to make all out of the road they possibly
can and if any damage is done at the many
dangerous places,where it is not safe for two
rigs to pass,tliey do not care. Tin; amount
of toll that is being paid by all who use the
pike frequently, would amount to a tritle if
it was owned by the township, where it
now amounts to a big tiling in a year for the
p rival eve of running the risk of a broken or
liiub and a smashed up rig. The cost of the
road to the township would not bo large as
we understand the bridge at Coburn was
paid for by the township and then given to

The readers of the MILLHEIM JOUR*
NAL will be pleased to learn that
there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all
its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's
Catanh Cure is the only positive cure
now known to the medical fraternity
Catarrh being a constitutional disease
requires a constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon Hie blood and mu
cus surfaces of the system, thereby de
stroying lite foundation of the disease
and giving the patient strength, by
building up the constitution and assist
ing nature in doing its work. The Pro
prielors have so much faith in its cura
tive poweis that they offer one hundred
dollars, for any caso it fails to cure
