There will be five hundred of the capi- tal city’s business men accompanied by a brass band.

D. Garman, of near Curtin, claims that he was not arrested and fined for cruelty to animals because he drove a horse to Bellefonte that was “lit- erally skin and bones,” but because he was driving a team of horses with very sore shoulders; and to prove his asser- tion he led the team to this office on Wednesday as evidence.

Vogel’s Big Minstrels alone has been looked upon as one of the largest repre: sentative bodies traveling, and when you add to that big gathering a complete caste for opera and an unusually large girl chorus, also a double symphony orchestra, you have a company larger than the largest. . ini ——Last week’s WATCHMAN contained a personal item about Mr. and Mrs. T.

That suspicion was quite recently placed upon some of the minor men in our vicinity for interfering with other horses and vehicles, is a false state- ment.

H. Schultz, Mrs. A. W. Weber, Maud Stover, Marshall Mowery and Mahlon Stover.
