which to surround the Spring, with a
chance to sell the fence that is now
around the Spring, &e.

UxiTED BRETHREN SUNDAY SCHOOL
CoxvenrtioN.—The annual convention
of the Altoona District of the Alleghe-
ny confenence of the United Brethren
church, was held at Julian, June 9th,
10th and 11th inst. Rev. J. F. Tall-
helm, of Julian, Presiding Elder of the
District, presided during the session of
the convention. Rev. H. T. Denlinger,
of Williamsport, was elected reporter for
the Conference Journal.
The following subjects were discuss-
ed during the convention: “The object
of a Sunday School Convention ;”’ ‘‘the
Sunday School Superintendent's charac-
ter and qualifications ;”’ “what is the
proper use of lesson help$ ;7’ “the duties
of the Church to the Sunday School ;”'
“the duties of the Sunday School to the
Church ;” the duties of pastor to the
Sanday School ; “the object of Sun
day School instruction ;’ “the teachers’
qualification ;”’ “the claims of the
Sunday Schovl upon the pastor ;”’
“the young people’s society of Christian
Endeavor, its views, its relations to the
church; “its claim upon the pastor.”
The following ministers were present
and took part in the discussions: Rev’s
T. P. Orner, C. W. Wasson, A. David-
gon, W. A. Jackson, Geo. Noden, John
Craig, G. W. Eminhizer, J. F. Tall-
helm, H. T. Denlinger, W. Cramer and
B. J. Hummel ; also Rev. J. C. Young
of the M. E. church. The convention
was a success in every particular.
A Sparrow ExrcurEp.—The Lock
Haven Democrat vouckes for the truth of
the following story about the execution
of a sparrow in that place. . Maybe the
bird that was thus capitally punished
was the sparrow that killed Cock Ro-
bin years ago and had confessed the
murder or been convicted on evidence
recent divulged. The following is the
story :
“Under the eves of the Schroeder
building on Main and Vesper streets,
there is a bird box, which is inhabited
by sparrows, and this morning the birds
coolly and deliberately hung one of their
number, for some offense, suspending it
by the neck uctil death ensued. After
death the birds then tried, as it were, to
cut their dead companion down and
picked its neck in their efforts to do so
until it was much mutilated. They
failed to accomplish their object, how-
ever, and the body was removed by one
of the spectators. Mr. Drake, the oil
man, was one of the persons who wit-
nessed the entire procedure. The birds
had a thread around the culprit’s neck
and he was executed in first class style,
hanging down several inches below the
bird box.”
It is a satisfaction to believe that in
the Cock Robin murder ease justice has
at last been vindicated and the offender
brought to punishment.

You HAVE TREATED
US LOYALLY
The four years we have been
in business. We consider
ourselves under many obli-
gations to you for the man-
ner in which you have stood
by us. But you deserve
more than thanks, and you
shall have it. We intend to
merit, your patronage now
more than ever.
Money is scarce—we know
it; but clothing is plenty and
we intend to put it within
reach of the very poorest.
If you want a suit for your-
self, we have everything that
is in the market. We can
give you those cheap shod-
dy goods that you see ad-
vertised for $3 and $4 per
suit. But that is not the
class of goods we want to
sell you. We want to sell
you strictly. honest goods,
goods that will give you ser-
vice, that you will be satis-
fied with, and make you
customers of ours for ever.
Now, then, we will sell
you a suit for yourself that
is all wool for $7. And when
we say all wool we mean it.
For your boy, if he is within
the age of 14 to 18, $5.50
will get him the same kind
of a suit. If he is within the
age of 4 and 14, and wears
short pants, $3.50 is all that
is needed.
These goods are all worth
a great deal more money
than we ask for them, but
we have got more than we
need. Some are single suits,
odds and ends, a few of them
from last season—but they
are all the greatest values
for the money that you have
ever seen, and you must see
them to get an idea how
cheap they are.
Thanking you again for
past favors, and hoping that
for your interests, as well as
ours, you will give us a call
and satisfy yourself that
there is no place in Central
Pennsylvania where you can
buy clothing cheaper than
from us.
