DEAR MR. EDITOR:— Thinking perhaps you would like to hear something from Hicks Run and the surrounding country, where your paper, the PRESS, has been a household word for more than a century, I write you a few lines, telling you of our pros pects, prosperity and inhabitants, many of whom you were aquainted with in the days of Auld Lang Syne. Things move along smoothly with us, we obey the laws, love our wives, rear our children in the fear of the Lord, till the soil (when we can find any) and now and then goto Austin and get drunk. We have the usual amount of pros perity that is vouchsafed to the inhabi tants of the country and our school and educational privileges are good. i .Longevity seems to be our inheri tance, in fact at the coming fall elec tion a vote is to be taken by the peo ple in the district to determine who shall be sacrificed to start our new cemetery in order to keep up with the progress of the times. Our school opened last week with a full attendance. Prof. Bigger, who has been principal for the past five years, returned from his vacation which he spent at Camp 21, fighting mosquitoes and bathing his pedal extremities in the limpid waters of North Creek. The Prof, is a graduate from the Sinnatnahoning Seminary and worked his way through college by peeling barn and killing rattlesnakes. He is a man of letters, scholarly and well read, and is now, so to speak, resting on the middle rung of his ladder of fame. Our Star Course of lectures for the winter is assured, the subscription list being more than satisfactory. The speakers securod for the course are Vice President Fairbanks, John Wes ley and Victor Hugo. Prof. Leonard Stacks lectured before the school last evening. His subjects: "Personal recollections of Joan of Arc and The Use of Axle Grease in the Arts,"were interesting and instructive. The Dauguscahonda Glee Club will give an entertainment on Thanksgiv ing evening for the benefit of the Young Ladies Guild. As singers they have lately come into prominence and their music is rag time and sacred, from the Old Apple Tree to the Holy City. The harvest is passed and the sum mer is ended with us and very few have been gathered in, and as I said before we have been fairly prosperous and have no kick coming. Abner Carpenter picked from one stalk in his buckwheat field, twenty* five solid ripe buckwheat cakes and wants to know if any one in the county can beat it. The cakes were good, first-class as your correspondent can testify, having eaten ten of them bor dered with good pork gravy from a piece of pork from a hog killed on the ! 10th of last month by Eben Sowers, which he had been flattening since the year of the Centennial. Andrew Rhubottom of N. J., is visiting his son Peter. An drew is an old time resident here and moved away years ago, his father now living in New Hampshire, was one of the men that grasped the prow of the boat and pulled it on shore, that carried Washington across the Dela ware. His Uncle Abner, (his father's brother) who was at Yorktown when Cornwallis surrendered, and got glor iously drunk on apple jack in logging this fall in the Jersey Meadows for Geo. Gould, the railroad magnate. He I Abner, was at one time engaged | to Lvdia Pinkham, but broke the ea ! gagement, because she would not give him the formula of her celebrated medi cine in a marriage settlement. Elkaua Peters, is visiting his nephew, | Hiram, proprietor of the Bark Peelers i Exchange. Elkaua is an old soldier and his reminiscenses are very inter esting. He crossed the Alps with Na poleon and was in the battles of Austre ! lit/, and Hohenlinden and afterwards at the burning of Moscow. He is a well preserved man, jet black hair, reads without glasses and has a per fect set of teeth. He amused the boys in the Post office Saturday evening by biting three ears of corn in two at once. Malvinia Hedges who has been teach er in the primary department of our school the past year was married on Wednesday to Lysanter Becker The wedding was quite swell. Malviua was dri*ssed in a cheese cloth wrap per and a green glass breast pin and Lysanter wore u tan colored suit he bought on the Inst illmeut plan, from Jasper Karris in Kinporiuin. They are spending their honeymoon with I > suiter's aunt at Cross Forks. Mr* Mary Carpenter Is visiting here. "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1905. Her husband John Carpenter resided here for a long time and was very prominent in church work. He moved to Pittsburg some years ago and his wife informs me, owing to business cares and trying to keep the wolf from gnawing his back door steps, he has backslid, has given up his pew in church and is doing his sleeping at home. Aunt Harriet Beckett drove up from Huntley last week. Aunt Harriet is as spry as a kitten and loves to tell how she used to stand in her doorway and lasso Buffalos and sell corn Juice to the Indian. Cy Carter found a nest of flying squirrels in his barn He stopped up the knot holes through which they en tered with pieces of bark and the next day an agent for the society to prevent cruelty to animals arrested him and he was taken before Squire Pingres and gave bail for his appeasance before the grand jury. Wallace Clark went his bail and mortgaged his father and mother's tomb stones in order to qualify. Everybody is going to the county fair. Some of the people are greasing their wagons now, so as to be ready. Algeron Snips, who is spending the summer with his aunt, Mrs. Purdy, is an artist and a poet. His. crayon sketches of a bark pile and a dead milch cow hanging in the post office are creditable and very life like. Al geron says the in vernacular of the day there is something doing. Everybody is rustling Up and down the Run Everybody hustling, Going to have some fun Everybody's Happy. Its flying in the air, Fresh and pure and snappy, We are going to the fair. Girls have got new dresses, Hats that's just in style. Greased up all their tresses. They shine for half a mile, Boys have got new sweaters And new shoes, each a pair. Can't hold them with fetters. Going to the fair. We are going to get some prizes For the pumpkins that we bring. We have them of all sizes, The dwarf up to the king. So let the band keep playin, , We will all be there There will be no home staying. All are going to the fair. MUNCHAUSEN. Annual Conference of the Free Methodist Church.

Under an act of last legislature many boroughs of this state are constructing brick or Macadam roads, the state to pay three fourths of the cost. Salts burg, Indiana county is laying one mile of brick pavement. Why not lay a brick pavement from Buffalo Junc tion to connect with the road to be built by the state from the iron bridge west of town? What say you, Mr. Councilmen. Remember the old say ing, „"the early bird." Recovering Slowly. Jos. Kinsley who was thrown from one of J. W.

Notices and invitations are issued for a Supper to be held by the Republican voters of Cameron county, at the New Warner House, Emporium, Pa., Thurs day evening, October sth, 1905. This is to be the first of a series of Suppers to be held every year by the rank and file of the Republican Party, (each per son to pay for his own ticket), and is not gotten up in the interest of anyone candidate, but as an informal social gathering of all voters interested in supporting the Republican principles of Peace, Progress and Protection to home industries and home labor. The invitation is general and all Re publicans are requested to purchase their tickets early, either at the New Warner House, or from Mr. L. W. Gleason, Chairman, Driftwood, Pa. All applications for tickets should be made not later than Oct. Sd. Who Is He? By the placing of Mrs. Helen Carter in the County Home, another example of brutal, inhuman and despised nature of some men lias been brought to light. Mrs. Carter is but 19 years of age, a bride of a few months, and is in a deli cate condition. The beast whose name she bears, has deserted her, and in her pitiablecondition she has toseek shelter and attention in the poor house. Car ter, who is a heartless cur, and a man to whom the law should show no mercy, is said to be in the vicinity of Empori um Every effort should be made to find the fellow, and make him partially repay in suffering, the anguish he is causing the poor young woman whom he has so basely wronged. The Enter prise does not believe that any mercy should be shown a man of his stamp and no stone left unturned to bring him as near justice ns the law can sanction —which the Enterprise feels would be inadequate punishment for his crime Coudersport Enterprise. Wedding Bells. In their prettily furnished home on East Fifth street, Wednesday evening, Sept. 20th, by Rev. O. S. Metzler, pas tor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, MR. PETER K. SCHNYDER and Miss DAISY L. CLAUDIUS, both of town, were united in marriage—Mr. George Neidlinger and Miss Lena Weisenfiuh, close friends of the contracting parties, were the attendants. The parlor deco rations were autumn flowers and leaves. Mr. Schnyder is a young man of excellent character and is a blacksmith in the employ of Haupt & Hauber. Miss Claudius for a number of years has resided here with relatives and is held in high esteem by all en joying her acquaintance. A dainty lunch was served. The PRESS extends good wishes. Hungry Negro. Last Friday a large burly negro landed in town hungry and dry, espe cially dry. He first secreted himself under a bed in Cook's Hotel and was promptly kicked out, after which he managed to force an entrance Into Dan'l McCormick's restauraut, pocket ed some canned goods and crawled under Danl's bed, where he was found and hustled out. Policeman Mundy got after him but he succeeded in jumping a freight. He was caught at Renovo and landed in our jail, where he will remain until Oct. court as one of Sheriff Hemphill's star boarders. Bon ham-Ho ward. The PRESS was correct last week when it hinted that Mr. John Taylor Howard and Mrs. Mary Seger Bonham had gone to Buffalo with the intention of uniting for life. Since we have re ceived the announcement of their mar riage, which took place last Thursday morning in the presence of a number of relatives. The PRESS joins their many friends in wishing them a long, happy and prosperous life. They, will ; be at home after Oct. Ist. Vote for Them Sure. The Republican candidates (or the office of County Commissioner, Messrs ! John W. Lewis, of Shippeu, and Samuel P. Kreider, of Driftwood, are star men and the people will see to it I that they are both elected. The tax payers of the county know they will give that attention to the affairs of the county that we sadly stand in need of. Remember, tax payers, that you vote for the above named gentlemen.

The mother, who is or was, in a delicate condition, was also down with the same disease could not be removed. Mr. Robinson and one child died on Sunday, their re" mains being brought to Emporium for interment. The funeral took place from St. Marks Catholic church yester day morning, the services being con ducted by the Rev. Thos. Downey. Deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs. William Robinson of this place, and the dire affliction has been a terrible blow to the afflicted family. $3,000 Organ. Emmanuel Episcopal Church Vestry met yesterday afternoon and voted to purchase a $3,000 pipe organ for their church. The old pipe organ will be placed in the Parish Building. Box Social. There will be a box social on Moore Hill, next Saturday evening, for the benefit of James Reed who has been laid up since last January, the result of blood poisoning. The public invited. First in Three Years. Raymond Klees, who recently grad uated from the PRESS establishment, after three years of faithful service, is taking his first vacation in that time, visiting old friends at Williamsport and other points. Raymond is a good, honest young man and we hope will continue to improve with age. New Building. At a recent meeting of Emporium School Board it was decided to erect a four room addition to East ward build ing in order to relieve the crowded condition of our schools. The expense of this improvement or enlargement will be about $2,000. We also are in formed that the district will refund its bonds at four per cent Automobile Party.

Millions upon millions of millers are swarming around our head, making it almost impossible to write, and ex tremely annoying to us who are forced to work by lamp light. The Sinnamahoning Powder Mfg. Company are pushing work on their plant. From notices we note they ex pect all stock to be paid for this year. It wiil be ene of the beet plants in the county. Sinnamahoning, Driftwood, Sterling Run and Cameron are now connected with Emporium by 'phone. It will come in mighty handy this fall to get the election news, announcing the elec tion of the entire Republican ticket. What greater nuisance is there than the rum-soaked human hog—smelling like an old cabbage pateh—who per : sists in blowing his rotton breath in your face while he pours bis tale of 1 woe into your ears? We have a few of these fellows in Emporium, and many times we would have been delighted to have "soaked" one of them with a skunk just to swoeton the atmosphere around him for a few minutes. Found.

Some people we know ought to buy it in hales or by the car load. Henry Zarps is contemplating mat rimony; he has a far-away look in his eyes, and goes around whistling: "I Need Thee Every Hour." Jasper Harris says "when two per sons embark on the sea of matrimony, sooner or later one of them will rock the boat." The young man who sat with his giri —the other evening—on the side hill, above the courthouse, and gazed at the moon and sang "When the leaves be gin to fall" and when a clog barked back in the woods, went head-firm, through a barbed wire fence and left his girl to climb a tree, can get the coat-tails he left in the fence by calling on Sheriff Hemphill. Mike Hogan says: "when a dog turns and looks at his tail he sees his finish." Twelve year-old candy is on sale in most of the stores. Dr. Zelie\3xtracted a molar for a Salt Run native, Suuday that was a corker. He is going to send it to the Smithson ian Institute to fill a cavity in the jaw of a mastodon.

If they were weighed they would be found wanting and they are divided in their affections sure. Dr. Ericsson the organist in the M.
