The wife of Rev. W. E. Krebs died
at her home at Littlestown, Pa., on
last Friday December 13th, and was

some years ago was pastor of Trinity

has many friends here who tympathize
with him in his affliction.
A tramp bicycle stood all day in
front of the Post Office last Sunday.
It looked as though it had seen long

sale," A beer bottle hung from the
handle. The poor thing wore a de
jected and lonesome air.
It was rumored the other day that
McKinney gives away a piano with
every pair of shoes he sells, but we
found by inquiry that the report was
incorrect. He has a piano on exhibi
tion in his store, but what he gives
his customers is full value with every
purchase.
Glittering diamonds, sparkling cut
glass, fine gold watches, bright silver
ware and handsome jewelry are always
pleasing to look upon. When select
ed with such care, and arranged with
the taste displayed at J. E. Roys'
jewelry store, they are all the more
attractive. The rush of customers
daily at his place of business proves
that his efforts to cater to the public
demand are fully appreciated.
