Main street, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Sykes,
one of the happiest Christian couples
in Galeton, celebrated the event of the

last evening. The following gueata

and Miss Bishop. Mr. Sykes is an en
tailer of exceptional ability and one
never tires of his company. The ele

To Resume at Once.
Owing to the scarcity of stock
the furnace was forced to "bank"
last Monday until such time that
ore can be secured from the lake
region. Last evening Snpt. A.
Brady, who is in Philadelphia,
wired his assistants at this place to
hold all men and rush the needed
repairs; that he desired to resume
within one week. This is good
news to the men as well as our
citizens.
Wo are informed that work will
be commenced at the coke ovens at
once, which means additional
work for many men.
Rev. Wilford P. Shriner, A.B.
Before leaving our town, the Official
Board of the M. E. Church addressed
the following letter to Rev. Shriner:
EMPORIUM, PA., March 27th, 1900.
REV. WILFOBD P. SHRINER, A. 15.,
De'ir Brother Shriner: —We as members of the
Official Board of the First Methodist Episcopal
Church, of Emporium, desire to express to you
our high appreciation of your distinguished ser
vice;! as pastor of our Church during the last
year, and our sincere regret that the authorities
of the Church have thought it best to remove
you to another field of labor.
Your good works in the community,your splen
did ability in the pulpit, your exemplary conduct
as a man and your high Christian character have
endeared you not only to the members of the
congregation but to the entire community, and
we but express the universal sentiment of the
people of Emporium in bearing testimony to our
regret at the sundering ot the ties which have so
strongly bound us to you during the year of your
pastorate.
In this connection we cannot refrain from ex
pressing our obligations to your excellent family
for tlieir active and effective efforts in the affairs
of our Church and Sunday School, and our re
gfet at losing them from our Church and com
munity. We want to assure you thr.t you and
your family will always have a warm corner in
the hearts of the people of Emporium, and that
we will rejoice with you in the success which you
so richly merit and which we are sure must await
you in the Church we all love so well.
Yours in Christian Faith and Fellowship,
iSiened by every member of the Board.)
Rev. Shriner left this morning for
Bellefonte, his new field of labor. As
pastor of his Church he has built it up
in all its departments, by his business
tact, good judgment and eloquent
preaching.
His preaching services and Wednes
day night prayer meetings had the
largest attendance in the history of the
Church.
The Epworth League is the next
largest League in the Williamsport
district.
The Junior League with him as Sup
erintendent rose from a few members
a year ago to a hundred to-day.
About §3,500 was paid into the treas
ury of the Church with ease ami with
out friction. The missionary collection
was advanced a hundred dollars, §BOO
was paid for repairs on the church; the
interior of the church was beautifully
frescoed. All his ability has been felt
and used to advance the spirituality of
his people, and the Church has never
been in as good condition, spiritually,
financially, and socially as it is to-day.
By his scholarly attainments, pleas
ing personality and strong manly
character, has won him a host of friends
in our community, and we believe that
the departure of Rev. Shriner and his
excellent family from our town, is re
gretted not only by the members of
his congregation, but by the whole
community. The good wishes of our
people will follow him to his new ap
pointment. " *

E. O. BARDWELL,
Mayor. !
Rev. Wllford I'. Shriner.
This eloquent divine preached his ;
"farewell sermon" last Sunday even- \
ing at the M. E. church and leaves to- j
day for Bellefonte, his new charge. '
During the past year Rev. Shriner has !
been in close touch with our people, of
all denominations, and his departure j
is deeply and keenly felt. Bellefonte j
has captured a prize—an eloquent, i
forcible speaker and at all times to be
depended upon as sound. There is no
nonsense, narrow mindedness or big- i
otry in his composition. We wish our
excellent friend, and his estimable j
family, much happiness in their new |
home.
Has Left Us.
Ray B. White, who has been an em
ployee of this office for several years, ;
servered his connection on Tuesday |
and departed for Portland, Oregon, ;
where he will follow the same line of
business. Mr. White is a bright, active
young gentleman, of more than ordi- I
nary intelligence, and while we regret 1
his departure we sincerely hope his ,
fond expectations may be fully realized. \
We cordially recommend him to the
fraternity as a trustworthy gentleman,
one who will surely make his mark in
journalism.

Rev. O. t*. Metzler, of Ashland, Pa.,
! who has been assigned to the Einpori-
I urn M. E. Church, will arrive in town
' to-day and will occupy the pulpit next
Sunday morning and evening. The
Rev. gentleman is very highly recom
mended by the retiring Pastor, Rev.
: Shriner, and other of our citizens ac
quainted with him. He must be a star
man when the fact is taken into con-
I sideration that he has filled his last
1 charge for live years. We welcome
