THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS* ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. VOL. 36. Necrology. Mrs. Eliza Lamb, whose maiden name was Greno, was born in Batavia, N. Y., about 85 years ago. Her father dying when she was four months olf\ her mother moved to Rutland, Ver mont, where Miss Qreno spent her childhood days. At the age of seven teen Miss Greno entered Franklin Academy, at Malone, N. Y., where she prepared herself for teaching, which vocation she followed for three years after her return to Rutland, teaching in three states. Sho was one of the first teachers in Troy Academy, of Troy, N. Y. Miss Greno waa married to.Charles Lamb, a merchant of Troy, N. Y., May 7th, 1833. To them were born four children, two of whom are now living: C. L. Lamb, an attorney of Minneapolis, Minn., and D. 11. Lamb, the well known druggist of Galeton. Mr. Lamb died in the year 1871. Mrs. Lamb was brilliant intellec tually. She had pleasant remarks for every occasion and never hesitated for a word. She has written considerable for publication, among her writings being a "History of Troy," and about a month ago she wrote, without the aid of glasses, a" article which appear ed in the Galeton Dispatch. Unlike many old people sho took no pride in her advanced age, but wished to re main young that she might mingle with people and enj >y society; to be called "grandmother" was by her con sidered - lonor, but rather an inti mate - J thai sho waa old. For the r jdc few years as been quiet deaf, and in sho concealed the trouble to a remarkable extent. Her life's record is without a stain, and many are the fr ion art who will remem ber her for the many good deeds sho ' has done and the kind words sho has spoken during her Icr.g and useful life. —Galeton Dispatch. Girl's Tastes Differ. How the tasles of a girl differ in re gard to the kind of a man she would marry as sho flies past the mile stones of life, Bays an observant exchange. When sho is sixteen, young and iull of beauty and tho first arrow from Cupid's bow has touched a responsive cord in her heart, tho man of her choice is pictured as a society man, with toothpick shoes and stand up collar, and never a hair on his head out of place. When she gets a little older, and has reached about twor.ty summers, her ideal as a husband tumbles to the ground, aa liie !;now mail of tho youth fades before the warm rays of the sun, and she begins to have a more practi cal and business like idea of matri- raony. Then she wants a Congressman, Senator or a ifiillionaire. Cat as t.ho years increase and she reaches twenty-five she will take a country merchant or an ordinary law yer, and at thirty she will be satisfied with anything that wears pants; a local preacher or a country editor. Harried. On Nov. 13th, 1901, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Gross, Portland Mills, Pa., EDWAKD STRAIGHT, form erly of Emporium, ancl Miss MAI.ISSA MOORE, of this place, were united in the holy matrimony, by the Rev. J. E. Milliard.

GILBERT MORSE, of Cameron, whose serious illness was mentioned in our last issue, died .at his residence last Sunday, aged 70 years, eight months and two days. The funeral took place from the family residence, at Cameron, Tuesday morning, interment being made in Newton Cemetery at Em porium. Rev. Robt. McCaslin, pastor of Emporium Presbyterian church of ficiated. The funeral was largely at tended, attesting the high esteem in which the deceased was held. GILBERT MORSE was born at Owego, N.

R. Fetter Emporium. All of the children, except Mrs. Garvin, who resides in the west, were in attend ance at the funeral. Mr. Morse moved to Cameron, from Wharton, in 1869, and has remained there ever since, where he was greatly respected. The PRESS editor know him intimately and valued his friendship.

An exchange gives the following ad. vice: Never borrow your neighbor's paper. There is no greater nuisance than a paper-borrower. If you are too mean or penurious to subscribe and pay for your own homo paper—read the Bible. You need to. State Senator Washburn, of Craw ford county, has taken up his abode in Philadelphia, with -the intention of making that city his future home and taking up the study of law. His fam ily will spend the winter in Baltimore, where Mrs. Washburn is studying medicine. A noticeable editor says: It is wasteful to burn autumn leaves. As a fertelizer for use in gai-dens about the berry bushes, in strawberry beds and in flower beds, they possess groat value and should be cleanly raked up and placed in compact piles in a corner of the garden where the action of the weather and the elements will fit them in a few months fo a rich top dressing. Hon. G. W. Warner has been obliged to dispose of his large holdings of young cattle, owing to the fact that his barn was destroyed by fire. Frank Shives and W. L. Thomas purchased all of the young cattle. The formtr gets 26 head of three year old and Mr. Thomas 21 head of two year cattle. We should have some good meat in Emporium next spring. The great development of newspaper advertising has not been due to the ef forts of of publishers, but to the com petition in businessa. As the cities have grown the business houses have multiplied, and the mo3t enterprising merchants have enlarged their share of trade by calling the people's atten tion to their wares. This has forced all merchants who want more than a neighborhood business to advertise. Now the people have the habit of look ing to the newspapers for shopping in formation, and the establishment which is not advertising is out of the race.— Philadelphia Record. The vertical style of penmanship, from which so much was expected in the way of greater ease in writing and greater legibility in reading, is not hav ing all its own way. In Connecticut one of the county Boards of Education has been making extended investigation as to its merits. These inquiries were par ticularly directed to those who largely employed clerical labor, and the results have been so greatly in favor of the old slanting principle that a recommenda tion has been made that the vertical be abolished and the former method be substituted in the schools under their control. Oyster Supper. The ladies of the First Methodist Episcopal church will serve an Oyster I Supper in the Walker Hardware room, Fourth street, west of Broad, Friday evening, Nov. 22nd, at which they will be glad to see all their friends.

The hour of the Friday evening ser j vice has been changed from 7:30 to 7:15 j o'clock. The service on Thanksgiving Day • will be at 10 a. m. May it not be said I of the members of this parish that they j are too bu«y on Thanksgiving Day to i thank God for being kept busy the x*est of the year. We have countless other ; blessings also for which to be thankful. The attendance at the Sunday ser -1 vices is not yet up to what it should be. Hay Be Discontinued. The rural free delivery in Shippen township, on North Creek and Portage, may be discontinued on account of the Shippen Supervisors refusing or neg lecting to make the roads passable. Has Left Us.

A very enjoyable evening being reported. An Enterprising Firm. The Adam, Meldrum & Anderson Company, of Buffalo, N. Y., have a special announcement to the PRESS readers this week that will bear inspec tion. This firm, always popular with the people of this section, made thous ands of friends by their courteous treatment to the public during the months of the Pan American Exposi tion. Our readers will do well to call or correspond with them, if in need of any of their populav g sods. Railroad Talk. The following from Renovo News is a little yellow, yet there are some good points to the rumor. The most sensible route would be to start in at Em porium, on the original survey of P. & E., utilize the Emporium & Rich Valley R. R., thence to Kinzua. This would shorten the distance from Emporium to Warren twenty mile-.?, with a light grade, thereby abolishing both St. Marys and Kane hills. We would not be surprised to see this route ultimately adopted with a short line over to Buf falo division, thereby doing away with the heavy grade between Emporium and Port Allegan ey. It is stated upon good authority that the Pennsylvania railroad com pany contemplates some vast improve ments in tho vicinity of Warren in the near future. A number of people from Kinzua recently have been in that city and state that a number ol'the surveyors of the P. &E. have been at work at that place for some time and have accomplished a large amount of work. From what can be gathered from those who have taken part in the work and a number of those who are ac quainted with the nature of the opera tions conducted by the surveyors it is thought that the company is getting ready to make ono of tho greatest changes that has ever been made along their line. The improvements at the town of Kinzua means the installation of a round house, coal dock and other ac cessories fur the making; of that point one of the division ends. Another thing that is suggested by the survey is that the company intends to lay a "line of track over the old original survey of the line from West Lino to Wilcox, and run their trains over that route, thus losing the grade of the Kane hill. The company now owns and controls a line of track from Kinzua to West Line and by building an eighteen mile extension from the latter place could very easily make Kinzua the point of radiation from the VV. N. Y. &. P. tracks and save much time and expense. The original survey that was made when the P. & E. was built, did not have Kane on the railroad map and the line branched at Sheffield, passed through West Line and other points until Wilcox was reached, when it once more followed the present line. The town of Kane was only taken on because Elisha Kane was possessed of large tracts of land and because of his wealth and great influence. Now the town is once more to be taken off the freight map and left out in the cold, cold world on a side issue. If built as proposed, Warren would also suffer to some extent, as the trans fer of freights from the W. N. Y. & P. lines would undoubtedly take place at Kinzua and not at Warren as is now the case. The pusher that operates from Warren would also be taken off as would the larger number of engines that are now kept at Kane to assist the heavy trains over the grades. The route of the trains then, if the new route is completed, would be from Warren to Kiuzua over the lines of the W. N. Y. & P., or the B &A. V. divi sion of the P. & E , thence to Wilcox and a freight train at Kane would be as scarce as hens' teeth. As a time saver it would mean an nually many hundreds of dollars to the railroad company, as the route between Wilcox and Warren would be shortened by a few miles and with the grades eliminated faster time could bo made by the heavy trains.
