The Cameron County Agricultural Association.
The Cameron County Agricultur
al Association met at the Court
House on Saturday last and trans
acted some very important busi
ness. Arrangements were made
for the payment of the prizes at
the Fair, and also for giving half
of the advertised prize to persons
who had articles there possessing
a reasonable degree of merit, but
who did not have prizes awarded
on account of not having any com
petition. All the prizes to be paid
by the treasurer's check, deposited
in the postoflice, to the address of
the winners. It was also decided
to hold another fair the first Thurs
day and Friday in October next
year. More particulars of this will
be given at the proper time. Those
interested in this enterprise and
desirous of encouraging and assist
ing it would do well to make a con
tribution of money, either to the
president, Mr. F. X. Blumle, or to
the secretary, Mr. X. A. Ostrura,
and become identified with the As
sociation. A general discussion
was indulged in concerning meth
ods of advancing the interest of
agriculture, horticulture and stock
raising in the county. It was both
a profitable and enjoyable meeting.
"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß.
EMPORIUM, PA.. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1903.
Handsome Program.
The Teachers' Institute program
being distributed by Miss Collins is the
handsomest and most expensive pro
gram ever issued from the PRESS
All receiving same should save it for
use at the Institute.
The Toy Pistol.
The dangerous toy pistol got in its
work again last Saturday. Carl Haupt,
son of Henry Haupt, was the victim,
the shot entering his right leg. Dr.
Heilman attended the lad. Parents
should abolish the toy pistol, it is al
most as dangerous as the cigarette.
Thirty-fifth Anniversary.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Mutthersbough
were pleasantly surprised Tuesday
avening when their sons, daughters
and grand-children, fourteen in num
ber, invaded their home and prepared
the table for a fine turkey dinner. The
happy occasion was their thirty-fifth
wedding anniversary,—Driftwood Gaz
ette.
Using Pine Ties.
The Buffalo & Susquehanna railroad
has received the balance of an order of
300 carloads of Georgia pine ties which
were sent via boat to New York and
over the Erie to the Buffalo & Susque
hanna at Addison. Part of these ties
are being used at Sinnemahoning, Pa.,
the balance togo to Hornellsville for
the Buffalo division.—VVellsville Re
porter.
Our English Cousins.
Two special trains, consisting of the
best vestibuled cars in the Pennsy's
service, passed through Emporium last
Sunday, bearing the Honorable Artil
lery Company, of London, England, to
Niagara Falls. The Britishers were
•scorted by the Ancient Honorable
Artillery Company, of Boston. Our
English Cousins, we are told, were en
thusiastic in their praise of America
and their royal treatment by the Yank
ees. While at the Junction one of the
party exclaimed, "You Americans are
certainly bricks—go at too fast a pace
for us, but we like you just ;the same,
if we can't keep up with you."
Sudden Death.
Ex-Associate Judge, MARTIN V. LAR
KADKK, of Roulette, died on Thursday
evening last, quite suddenly, of apo
plexy, leaving three married children.
Judge Larrabee, who was a brother of
our good citizen, Mr. M. M. Larrabee,
was in his 66th year. Deceased was
one of Potter's most popular citizens,
having held several elective offices, the
most important being County Treas
urer and Associate Judge. At the time
of his death he had charge of the large
body of lands owned by the State in
Potter county. The funeral was held
from the M. E. Church, at Roulette, on
Sunday, Coudersport Masonic lodge
having charge of the funeral. Mr. M.
M. Larrabee aud wife, of this place, at
tended the funeral.
Teacher's Institute Next Week.
All signs point to the near approach
of the Teachers' County Institute. The
attractive lithographs displayed in the
various windows about town call atten
tion to the evening entertainments,
while a perusal of the small circulars
being distributed convinces one of their
superior excellence. Tickets are for
sale by the teachers and pupils, who
assume their work for the sole reason
that they desire to aid in a worthy
cause. Every family should deem it a
privilege to patronize the evening at
tractions as well as to attend the day
sessions, as they will have much to of
fer that is instructive and helpful. Let
a full court room and opera house at
test the interest and appreciation of the
community. Tickets are also for sale
at Lloyd's book store. The chart for
reserve seats opens at Lloyd's Monday
morning, Oct. I9th, at 9 o'clock.

DEATH'S DOINGS.
LOGAN •
MRS. ELLEN PATTERSON LOGAN, aged
99 years and six months, died at Sun
bury last Sunday, at the residence of
her daughter, Mrs. Lide M. Corwin, sur
rounded by her children. Her remains
were brought to Emporium Monday
afternoon and taken te the residence of
her son, J D. Logan; Esq. The funeral
took place yesterday afternoon and
was very largely attedded—Revs. R.
McCaslin, O. S. Metzler and J. M.
Robertson officiating. The remains
were interred in Newton Cemetery.
This remarkable old lady, was left a
widow in 1865, with five children, (her
husband having died at Harrisburg on
his return from the field of battle, after
serving in the Pennsylvania Reserves
for four years) came to Emporium in
1873, where she resided for many years,
and was highly respected. She was a
devout christian, being a member of
the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Mrs. Logan was in many respects a
remarkable lady and during her long
term of years was really never sick.
In her advanced years she made her
home with her second daughter, Mrs-
Llde Corwin, atSunbury, where she re
ceived the loving care of a dutiful
child, in fact none of the children could
do enough for their mother. Con
scious to the very last, and free from
pain, she passed to the other shore,
where loved ones stood ready to greet
her.
Deceased left in addition to a large
circle of friends, the followingchildren,
all of whom were in attendance .at the
funeral: Mrs. W. T. McCloskey, Wilk
insburg,Pa.; Mrs. Lide M.Corwin, Sun
bury, Pa.; John D. Logan and Mrs.

To riucti Banquet.
Some of our big eaters were com*
pelled to call for quarter last Wednes
day evening. Two banquets were too
much for friend Blum, Dan'l Webster
and Stowe Barton. W.A. Sprung, one
of Pennsy's old and reliable engineers
celc' -ated his 69th anniversary and
fillet o a number of his friends to the
neck. 'Vhen the Masonic banquet was
tacklea lum hinted that he could act
as toast-, ster very well, which would
give him excuse for standing up
The balance of the party preferred to
sit. Brother Jos. Kaye, who gave the
last banquet to his Masonic brothern,
was wonderfully surprised at the eating
capacity of his brethern.
Emmanuel Church.
The Rev. S. R. MacEwan, of John
sonburg, will officiate at the services
next Sunday, Oct. 18th.
'Twas Ever Thus,
'Tis the common lot to be found faull
with. It is not pleasant, but those whc
can stand it get along the easiest, says one
of our exchanges. Worrying, fretting, oi
talking back doesn't make things an\
better. All public officers are poundec
by the public. The merchant catches i
from his patrons, so does the butcher, tl'<
baker and the candlestick maker, ant
the good minister is abused as if he wert
a pirate. Even Christ was crucified, ant
all great men and good have been tortura
in some manner. Even small men d(
not escape. Some trouble comes to al
and each is cuffed and kicked for alleged
mistakes. The butcher is often remindet
of his tough steak The newspaper mar
is howled at almost as much as the min
ister. Even the man you befriend foi
years may prove ungrateful. The hote
food is denounced; the Church member ii
called hypocrite. The preacher is liket
best who goes to another charge; and yel
people are pretty good after all. The}
don't mean all they say, so we shouldn'i
believe all we hear. Just do your pari
and let them talk. Don't mind the rnos
quitos. Says a philosopher. "At tht
last nothing matters much. Mortals give
things an importance quite beyond thcii
gravity. We shall glide out of this lift
into another, and the day of our death
like the day of our birth, will beshrowded
in forget fulness. And if we do remem
ber any of our trials and troubles, it will
be only to smile that they should cvci
have caused us a pang."

hurry these reports, the tax-payers
asking for them should "call down" the
other fellows. We have calls for the
School District Audit. We give it up.
The easiness of the newspaper busi
ness bas been a perennial subject for
discussion for years. His constant tale
of woe concering his need of cash has
been a standing joke. But in reality
the matter not a joke and the dis
credit lor it is more upon ths com
munity than the newspaper. Every
few days almost the newspaper speaks
an encouraging word for some interest
the prosperity of which directly effects
the people of the locality, whether it be
a church fair, a new industry, or what
not. For this the editor receives
thanks. Thanks, like a recently ad
vertised breakfast food, is "good for
breakfast, dinner and supper." Anenfc
this subject the Falls Creek Herald
truthfully says: The editor eats them
alive. Editors are not all poverty
stricken but mighty few of them ever
get rich and every red cent they make
they work for. The doctor settles in a
town and spends probably S2O for an
equipment. He does all his work him
self and pays no wages to anybody.
When you go down to patronize him,
however you don't ask him if he can't
saw your leg off for less than $2.99 and
threaten to send it out to the State of
Indiana for amputation at a place
where they do good work for $2.78}.
The grocer lays in a stock of $4.50
worth of goods and when you patronize
him you don't ask for bids on the fur
nishing of two bars of soap, a can of
tomatoes, two dozen jar rubbers and a
pound of cheese. You don't ask the
barber for a bid on a hair cut, shave
and shampoo, and tell him that they
only pay half that price out in Squee
dunk, Missouri, and they get perfumed
soap besides.
But the poor printer. He invests
from three to ten thousand dollars in a
plant, hire from one to a dozen people
and pays them cash on Saturdays and
thai has to bid against the world for a
two dollar job of printing. He doesn't
mind it, though. It adds strenuous
ness to his existence and makes life
seem what Mr. Cleveland is wont tq
call "one grand 3weet song."
The glory of being pointed out to the
populace, especially the sheriff, the
constable and the fellow with the over
due bill, as "the editor," is enough for
anybody. Is it any wonder that so
many country editors goto congress?
There are worse places than that that
are sometimes preferable to a country
printing office.
