Obituary.
Again the death knell has sounded
over the waters of the Sinnemahoning
creek and another of God's children
has fallen. Mrs. Eliza Bailey is no
more. She died April Bth, at 12 noon,
1899. She was born Oct. 16, 1841, and
was married Feb. 14, 1860 to Washing
ton Bailey. She was the mother of
five children of which three survive
her. Mrs. Bailey has been a christian
woman for a number of years, always
taking an active part in church work.
At the Gilmore school house, she has
filled the office as a stewart and Sun
day school superintendent for a num
ber of years in the Methodist Episco
pal church. She was a good mother,
a good wife, a good neighbor and a
good christian, and we have no doubt
she has entered triumphantly into the
kingdom of God, thus swelling the
i number of the Redeemer's host who
i have come up out of great tribulations
| and have their robes, and made them
i white in the blood of the lamb.
The funeral services were held in the
Gilmore school house, Monday, April
I 10th, 1899, Rev. E. E. Muliiner, of
I Cameron officiated, assisted by Rev.
jC. F. Weise, of Nelson Run. The
house was filled to over flowing with
; relatives and friends who had come to
pay their last respect to one they loved
so well.
High School Alumni Meeting.
There will be a meeting of the Em
porium High School Alumni Associa
tion held at the Columbian high school
building on Friday evening, April 14th,
at 7:30.
As business of importance will be
transacted it is earnestly desired that
all members be present.
BY ORDER OF THE PRESIDENT.
Located in the West.
Frank Morris, for several years a
resident of this county, has returned
from Port Angles, Wash , and reports
the purchase of a hotel property at that
place. He leaves on Monday for the
new location.

EMPORIUM PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 13,1899.
Surprised Applicants.
Judge Mayer has been holding
license Court at Williamsport for
Judge Metzger, and points were made
by Attorney Ames, the late Prohibi
tion candidate for President Judge of
Lycoming county, that especially con
cerns those who become bondsmen for
liquor dealers. Mr. Ames called atten
tion to the act of 1893, in which it is
provided that anyone who goes on the
bonds of more than one applicant for
lisense is obliged to make affidavit set
forth that he is worth $4,000 over and
above any indebtedness he may owe
on his property; and if he is on the
bond of one applicant only then he
must swear that he is worth $2,000
over and above his indebtedness.
Another point raised was that these
bonds are a lien on the real estate of
the bondsman until the expiration of
two years from their date. These are
matters that may surprise .applicants
for licenses as well as bondsmen who
may have not been called upon to for
mally stand for all the statute de
mands.
Good Farms.
There are many nice farms near
here. Now that lumbering is nearly
over, farms are being improved to a
larger extent. We can name a dozen
within a short distance that are worth
from SO,OOO to $12,000 each. B. C. Gal
lup has three most excellent farms on
the Turtle Point road and they all
show that he is an enterprising farmer.
There are nearly fifty farms owned in
this vicinity by residents of this bor
ough and its suburbs. There is every
thing to encourage agriculturists; pro
duce and beef are high, work horses
are cheap, help is plenty, while wire
fencing and machinery help out won
derfully. We believe J. C. Godinghas
accomplished encouraging results from
his farming and stock raising efforts.
Anyone that has built up a stock busi
ness equal to his in five years ought to
be satisfied. We predict greater im
provements within the next five years
than ever before About one half of
the lands between Emporium and
Olean are yet uncleared and will bo
sold very cheap in the golden future.
This will be one of the richest farming
communities in the country, and this
town continually growing this is a
very desireable place to live. For;iack
of time and space we forbear to men
tion manyindividual farms and farm
ers, but may in the future. —Port Alle
gany Reporter.

Pap Blodget an honorable member of the liars
club had occasion to visit the county seat last
Saturday and upon landing from the train,
several of the Emporium club met him. Through
the invitation of Charles McDonald vice presi
dent of the of the club, he was invited to visit
the club, as it was their regular meeting day.
Roll was called, absentees noted and fined ten
cents for not answering to their names. Angus
McDonald being an officer, was fined one plug of
chewing, to be used in the club. Stiffy found
fault because the fine wasn't given him direct.
James Haley attempted to do the old man up he
told a whopper, but it was no go; John Hogan
told one that staggered the ®ld man's nerve a
little; Ed McNarna and Phinegan Davins, each
spun a big one. The old man nearly had them
downed, when Mike Murphy and the high
mucky muck Morrisey appeared, the old man
threw up the sponge and acknowledged himself
out classed, but not beaten fair, as he was single
handed. If he Had Lewis Wykoff, C. W. Ueldin,
Vine Hauscoine, Mike Sullivan and one more
they could knock them out. The tirst round, one
of the members reported that John Hogan told
the truth one day in Bradford and couldn't prove
it, which nearly got him 111 trouble. Too bad
John, we as a club, sympathize with you, as we
may speak the truth some time in mistake.
>uch things ran not be helped, and if it is nec
essary we will lay an assessment 011 each mem
ber to help you out of any difficulty. Notice
We will be in Emporium next week and will be
prepared to receive all comers. Angus McDon
ald, of Driftwood, not excepted.

A traveling Indian (?) doctor (?) (?) has been

Cochran's drive passed here on Wednesday
morning on its way to Williamsport, but the
First Fork has been too low for driving since the

Some time ago a watch belonging to Jack
Mead'was stolen from a camp in Wykofl'Run.
Jack had "his suspicions" and at once turned de
tective, and has succeeded in finding his time
piece and landing the iellow in Fort Mundy.
Tax collector Blodget on Friday seized the
body of Win. Crane and deposited the same with
the sheriff as security for $1.90 tax. pap seems

A curious freak of nature from the vegetable
world has been presented to Capt. C. F. Barclay
by Mr. G. 11. Wykoff who found it in the woods.
The Uni'«ue curio looks like a cross between a
Zulu warriers club and a deformed parsnip. The
Cant proposes using it as a gavel in the liars

pencil, that brother Bailey wields so gracefully.

Samuel Miller transacted business in Allegheny

as a campaign perquisite. Try the "rusty coats"
next time Sam. Or say; what's the matter with
the "Honest Joe" brand.
An effort was made to get the members of the
Board of Health together on Monday, with the
usual success. There are members on the board
who are willing to do business; others who haven't
time; and still others who "don't give a dum"
whether sanitation is regulated or not. A small
sized epidemic of measles among the chiidren
was one of the results of this "don't give a dum"
spirit. Suppose it had been diphtheria or some
equally fatal disease. It. would have been just
the same except the result which would have
been different. Eh! Did anybody holler, "get
off my corns?"
Dave Miller, a well-known character here,
was arrested by Constable John Buck last Satur
day, for stealing a watch from Jack Mead, 011 St.

Mead's camp, on Wykoff Run, Miller breaking
into the camp while none of the men were
around. His connection with the affair was dis
closed by him bringing the watch here to A. F.
Redfoot to send away for repairs. When taken
before Squire Yothers he acknowledged having
taken the watch and the Squire fixed the bail at
£ioo, which he failed to secure and he was taken
to Emporium on Saturday evening and lodged in
the hotel Mundy.
