Yocum, of the Methodist church, after which burial was made in the Union cemetery. il II TRESSLER.—Mrs. Sarah Tressler, of Houserville, passed peacefully away at her home at that place on Monday of this week as the result of general infirmities.

Miller, has been released from a German prison camp and is on his way home. - At one time it had been reported that Dr. Miller had died or been shot in Germany and the news that he is alive, well and on his way home is very gratifying to Senator Miller and family. with a bad accident last Saturday afternoon, and although his car was pretty badly damaged he has reason to be thankful that neither himself nor any of the occupants of the car were hurt. He met the 1:27 train as usual and Finley Stewart got into his car to be taken to his mother’s home on Linn street. The sheriff of Allegheny county with his deputy were on their way to the penitentiary with Sam Barcons and they wanted Mr. Macker to take them up. He agreed to do so if they would ride along while he took Mr. Stewart home, and they consent- ed. With the four men in the car Macker drove up High street to the Diamond and started out Allegheny. At Howard street Hard P. Harris was coming down the street from his home in his own car and to avoid a collision Macker attempted to turn up Howard street toward the churches when he was confronted with Andy MecNitt’s car standing alongside the road. He made another quick turn and ran across the ditch and up against the side of the front porch of the Humes residence. The impact was so great that it not only wrecked both front wheels, the fenders and lights of his car but knocked the up- per tier of stone on the wall clear un- der the porch. Though badly shaken up none of the occupants of the car were hurt but Mr. Stewart avers that the Humes house looked bigger to him than it ever did before. —_— BIRTHS.

A brief item in the “Watchman” | last week made mention of the death ! of Albert Roberts, an old soldier of | the Civil war, who passed away at his | home in Snow Shoe on December 30th, aged 73 years. Mr. Roberts enlisted | for the Civil war from Columbia, Pa., | at the age of fifteen years and served ! as drummer boy of Company K, For- | fy ate regiment, Pa. Vols. until the | close of the war. During the G. A. | R. encampment in Washington, D. C., | in 1915, Albert with his three broth- ers marched up Pennsylvania avenue | as they had done fifty years previous in the last grand review at the close ! of the war. President Wilson’s atten- tion was called to the fact of the four brothers being in line and immediate- ly after the parade gave them an au- dience in the White House where he received them most cordially and after shaking hands with each one congrat- ulated them upon their service and loyalty to the country and their flag. Since that time two of the brothers have answered the last roll call. Wil- liam, the eldest, has been employed in the government printing office at Washington the past twenty-eight years. Although now eighty years | old he would pass for a man of sixty. | States Which Have Ratified Federal “Dry” Amendment.

So first come, first served. The demand is big from every part of the coun- try, and the Ford Motor Company will be impartial in the effort to serve fairly every one of the great army of Ford dealers. This means that for some time to come we are not going to have enough cars to supply our trade, so, as above stated, those who place their orders first, will have first delivery.
