Our Special Hicks Run Letter
Hicks Run, Sept 10th, 1905.
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.

Why Not Emporium?
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."

Republican Party Sup
per.
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.

ROBINSON.
William Robinson, aged about 31
years, who has resided at Jobnsonburg
for four years, was taken to Kane hos

typhoid fever. The mother, who is or
was, in a delicate condition, was also
down with the same disease could
not be removed. Mr. Robinson

mains being brought to Emporium for
interment. The funeral took place
from St. Marks Catholic church yester
day morning, the services being con

William Robinson of this place, and
the dire affliction has been a terrible
blow to the afflicted family.

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
