Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Illingworth, of
Bloomsdorf, were very. agreeably
surprised one evening recently when
their home was invaded by Mr. Illing-
worth’s Sunday school class from
Pine Hall, while he and his wife were
busy doing the evening chores at the
| eran church on Sunday. At the 10:30
| o'clock services Dr. J. C. Houtz, pres-
ident of the Lutheran Synod, was in
| charge. By way of introduction he
| told of spending his boyhood days in
| this section, and it was at the altar
in the church here that he gave him-
self to the work of the Master under
the pastorate of Rev. Koser. He de-
livered the charge to the pastor, Rev,
Lutton, giving the young minister
some good and timely advice. The
evening services were in charge of
Rev. John J. Weaver, of the Aarons-
burg charge, who delivered the charge
to the congregation and gave the
members some good, wholesome ad-
vice as to their relationship with the
pastor. He told them to hold up his
arms and stand back of him in all his
work as their pastor and spiritual ad-
viser. Rev. Weaver, like Dr. Houtz,
was converted at the altar of the
his early life in this vicinity and ram-
bled over every hill and Snongh every
dale. Here it was that he laid the
foundation for his education, and at
the time endeared himself to every-
body in the community, giving his
time and talents for the best interests
of all. The music at both services
was very inspiring. Mrs. Anna Fry
presided at the organ and a well-
traincd choir rendered very appropri-
ate hymns. The oldest man present
was William J. Dale, who is past
eighty-six, while J. C. Gates, a deacon
in the church, was there with his sev-
en months old grand-son, Harold
Pershing Gates, who is the seventh
of the church. During their presence
in town Dr. Houtz and Rev. Weaver
were entertained at the parsonage.

The butchering season is about
over. All our people have butchered
with the exception of Joseph Becken-
baugh, and some very nice porkers
were slaughtered this year.
Some time ago information was
made against Wesley Hackenberg, of
Rebersburg, by Henry Showers, of
this town, charging him with hunting
on ground on which Mr. Showers had
placed trespass notices. The case was
disposed of in a very mild way, the
justice imposing a fine of $1.00.
The Christmas season will soon be
either a season of joy or sorrow. Let
us hope it may be one of the former,
bringing joy and cheer to all our
homes, and let us resolve, as the new
year draws near, to make new resolu-

the lives of those around us happy in-
stead of unhappy.

HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA.
Stiff Neck,
Lumbago
Aches and Pains of Rheumatism |
Sometimes Almost Unbearable.
There are weather conditions that
make rheumatism worse. They are
not the same in the cases of all per-
sons. Some victims of this disease
suffer more in dry, warm weather
than in moist, cold weather, but all
suffer more or less all the time.
The cause of rhemuatism is an ex-
cess of uric acid in the blood, affect-
ing the muscles and joints. Hence
the blood must have attention for
permanent results in the treatment of
disease.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla has given en-
tire satisfaction in thousands of
cases. Do not fail to give it a trial. |
If a laxative is needed, take Hoods
Pills—they don’t gripe.

Prof. Thomas C. Houtz, of Selins-

One day recently, while two of our
trappers were looking up new trap-
rifle that had been hidden under a
rock by some one a long time ago. In
some way the barrel had become bent
and the butt was broken or burned
off. There was one cartridge in the
magazine which had not been used:
and it looked as though the gun had i
been in good working order when put
where found. It all seems a myste
as to who hid it where it was found, |
unless it had been put there by some
lumbermen who worked and camped
near the place twelve or fourteen
years ago, and who, on leaving either
forgot the gun or were unable to find
the spot where they had hidden it.
