    Even under the Dingley bill collector New-
ton Bailey finds cash scarce. Last week he
circulated among the Gazette subscribers here
and scarcely got enough to allow him to pick
his teeth at the St. Elmo. We hope however
his outing will prove congenial to his health
and do him a world of good.
Miss Lillian Woods, of Boalsburg, is a vis-
itor at Dr. G. H. Woods on Main street. She
is an accomplished musician and grace-
fully presided at the organ in the Presbyter-
jan church on Sunday evening. She has
been appointed assistant instructor in music
in the Rocky Mount college, in North Caro-
lina, where her many friends wish her un-
bounded success in her new venture.
The pantries of J. G. Hess, Dr. Woods,
Rev. Aikens, A. J. Tate, and Oscar Krebs
were visited last week by some night hawk,
who carried off lard, butter, canned fruit and
everything he could get his handson. A
wagon was driven over into Stone valley
early in the morning and whether it contain-
ed the stolen goods or not we cannot say.
Dr. Samuel McWilliams was out driving
recently with two friends when his horse be-
came unmanageable and started to run away.
In passing over a breaker near Shingletown
the top, seat and ladies went backward onto
the ground not much hurt, but the driver
was not so fortunate as he fell forward under
the horse’s heels and was badly cut and
bruised. The horse was caught after a mile’s
run, homeward bound. but the buggy was a
complete wreck.
Last Saturday was a gala occasion for Sco-
tia and it was an ideal day for an outing.
The works were shut down and superintend-
ent Clemson took a personal interest in help-
ing along the amusements. Early in the day
the crowd assembled to witness the parade of
the P. S. of A. The procession was headed
by the Forest City band resplendent with its
fine new instruments, the gift of Andrew
Carnegie. Rev. Illingworth made the ad-
dress of welcome and in a taking little
speech commended the P. S. of A. for their
patriotic zeal. The dinner in the woods was
excellent and so plenty that no one was al-
lowed to goaway hungry. Your correspond-
ent was cared for by time keeper J. C. Mat-
tern and his excellent wife who entertained
us so generously and kindly that the dinner
was the leading feature of the day. After
dinner the band gave a concert; Rev. W. H.
Mattern an address and the Warriors-Mark
and Scotia teams a one sided game of ball.
The Warriors-Mark team came down to do
up the Scotia boys but the result was 5 to 22
in favor of Scotia. The pitcher of the vis-
iting team was knocked out by a blow
on the elbow but an application of patent
medicine soon brought him around. At sup-
per we were the guest of J. C. Murtoff and
family and all told the day was a very jolly
one as any one is where R. M. Illingworth
leads.
On Friday the 13th, a large audience as-
sembled at the Baileyville church to partici-
pate in the farewell services to the Rev. J.
M. Goheen and his family who are returning,
for the third time, to the missionary work
in India, irom whence they came sixteen
months ago for a season of rest. The meet-
ing was much more cheerful than either of
the former ones, and when Rev. J. C. Kelly
was called to the chair he remarked on the
general interest in mission work and how
differently we look on the going of a mis-
sionory from what we did twenty years
ago, when brother Goheen first started on
his mission work. On the platform with
Revs. Goheen and Kelly were Dr. Campbell,
Reverends Gemmill, Ermintrout and Patton
all of whom spoke encouragingly of the mis-
sion work and of Rev. Goheen’s labors. His
father, John J. Goheen, almost eighty years
old was present, joyous and hopeful as a
youth. He has welcomed his son home twice
and hopes to see him return the third time.
On Saturday Mr. Goheen and family leave for
Wooster, O., where a few weeks will be spent
with friends before the start is made forIn-
dia. Mr. Goheen, his wife and little daugh-
ter, Frances, aged 6 years, will sail for New
York on the City of Rome on the 11th of Sep-
tember. Their four boys to be educated will
be left with Miss Alice McGinnis, sister of
Mrs. Goheen, at Wooster. They are Robert,
aged 17 ; James, aged 14; Richard, aged 12;
and Joseph, 8.

A child of E. H. Zeigler was very sick on
Sunday. It is much improved at this
writing.
The announcement has been made that
campmeeting will commence this week in
Sugar Valley at Booneville park, All are
invited.
The sad news of the death of the venera-
ble Adam Vonada, of Zion, has reached
this place. The deceased is the father of
A. H. Vonada, of this place.
Quite a number of our people took an in-
terest in the colored people’s campmeeting
on Sunday. They reported a good time;
such a one as is only enjoyed at shows or ex-
hibitions.
The bush meeting held in James Werts’
grove on Sunday was well attended. Ex-
cellent sermons were preached and all
seemed to appreciate the services rendered.
The best of order prevailed and, with the ex-
ception of a very heavy storm, which caused
some damage, the meeting was a success.
Every farmer, mechanic, day laborer, in
fact everybody who wishes to make life a
success, is in need of knowing the events of
the day. How many a man in the prime of
life has become bankrupt just because he did
not see his opportunity at the time of presen-
tation. Fellow citizens why not subscribe
for a paper which will tell you all about the
condition that our country is in so you may
know in what to invest, and how much?
The grocery business is on the increase
and since the Dingley bill has been approved
confidence has been restored in Mr. Hev-
erly’s business. We noticed he had on hand
a new stock of huckleberries.
Aspirants are on the qui vive for news rela-
tive to the change of the post office in our
hustling village, and there is but one cer-
tainty connected with the change and that is
some onc is going to be disappointed.
That most enterprising farmer Franklin
Dietz has made the Bowers farm look like a
garden and he is now rewarded for his pains
by having a well-filled barn. There is no
use talking Frank is not very handsome,
but his ability to do excellent farming and
vote the Democratic ticket can never be dis-
puted.
Mr. Pleasant intends taking advantage of
the cheap rates to Buffalo, and making a visit
to Niagara Falls and other places of interest
in the northwest. He is well up with his
farm work and nothing pleases us more than
to learn that the ‘‘old gentleman’’ is going
off for a few days with the boys, to lay dull
care aside and enjoy himself, as only an old
veteran can do on such occasions.
Mr. William Leathers and his sweetheart
are off for a good time to Atlantic City. We
wish them merry, but are sorry we cannot be
a little bird perched on top of the sails of a
boat, to witness Will venturing out to meet
the “white caps’ as they roll towards the
shore. Should he not return in due time we
will venture to say the ‘‘hokey-pokey’’ ice-
cream man has caught him.
The reverberation of the hammer announ-
ces that we will soon have another place of
worship in our neighborhood. Our good
neighbors across the creek are earnestly
working to erect their church, and towards
that end a grand feast will be held to-mor-
row evening near the school house. Pretty
girls and other attractions will be there in
abundance, and the patronage of the citizens
will be heartily appreciated in the cause.
The numerous friends of Herbert W.
Reeder are much pleased to learn of his be-
ing elected teacher of one of the Nittany
schools. With due respect for the talent of
Marion townshiv, yet we cannot help con-
gratulating the directors of that district in
their good fortune in securing the services of
Mr. Reeder. We are gratified, highly, to
know that the ability of our young men is
appreciated in other districts as well as our
own.
