The practice is a com mon one, and the minister in ques tion is to be commended. People who do not know how to behave and conduct themselves while in church should stay away. We were treated to a great vari ety of weather on Sunday. Early in the morning the rain began to fall. About seven o'clock, the sun, shining through the clouds, gave promise of a fair day. When nine o'clock came the heavens were dark with clouds and hail and snow de scended quite rapidly, accompanied by a strong north-west wind, which continued for about an hour. The thermometer also took quite a drop. Wall paper is selling because it is cheap at Mercer's Drug & Book Store. Legal advertisements on page 7.

Fidler has decided to fit his Gem Hand Laundry on Market Street with the necessary machinery to run the same by steam. He, last week, bargained with C. B. Ohl for a new boiler and engine, the same to be placed as soon as possible, People who prefer it can have their laundry done by hand the same as heretofore. Mr. Fidler's business has increased to such an extent that the adoption of steam has become necessary in order to enable him to get his work out in time. Henry Nagle, aged 65 years, died at his home on Eighth street, this town, Friday of last week, af ter an illness extending through several years, a greater part of which time he was compelled to re main indoors.

The owners of farms and the resident population in general up the creek, in the vicinity of Cen tral, are highly elated over the re cent discovery of paying quantities of iron ore.

On Tuesday several capital ists from New York were in town a short time enroute for Central, to view the ground. The up-creekers are rejoicing over their promised good fortune, and they have reason to rejoice. The prospective devel opment of any of the county s fat est resources should be good news for all residents. 'A Breezy Time" will be the next attraction at the Opera House on Wed., April 26, 1899. As a di rect refutation of the statement that farce comedies are dead, here comes 'A Breezy Time. It is an out- and out farce comedy, put together simply and solely for the purpose ot making as many laughs as pos sible and leaving altogether out of the question the rise and fall of the American drama. The piece has more pretty women than climaxes, more comic surprises than counter plots, and more catchy music than ingeniously worked-up situations, but to use American vernacular, " it goes." It not only goes, but it goes with a rush, and the principal causes of this result are E. B. Fritz, the comedian, and Kathryn Web ster, the soubrette. "You don't catch me working three big years for only my board, just for the sake of learning a trade' ' remarked a young man on one ot our street corners on Monday. Foolish boy. There never was a man yet who found it a disadvantage or was sorry that he had learned a profes sion 111 his earlier life, and a person with an occupation, of whatever sort, if it be honorable is in a sense independent, for his skill will enable him to make a living. Boys should be given trades no matter how wel off they may expect to be, for there is no escape from adversity which is liable to overtake any of us at any time. Clerks employed behind store counters, have little exercise for muscle.or brain and a dismal outlook for the future. There is nothing better or higher in store for them They are the ones who bitterly re gret their wasted opportunity to learn a trade, at which they could earn an independent living, and not be subject to the fluctuating fortunes of this or that business where they may be employed. Remarks like the one referred to above only shows a lack of common sense. ANNOUNCEMENTS. Wanted. At once 200,000 feet dry chestnut boards. Also, beech, birch, soft maple, ash and basswood boards.
