\' . Olgau NIKC'K:
You,- letter came direct, but my right side is
fall in ft. n't'- It is inclined to treraoli-. or shake,
and it is difficult to control my hand to write,
and it Ms a source ot sorrow for i have many
friends aJ at a distance T would write to. I wrote
pou a lonV letter the first of the year, and have
neon think#' l ?, as you did not answer, that you
dS not getV, neither have you answered my
many inquiries now. So I am tare you did not
get it I wan sorry for I wauled to hear from
vou How I wish I might see you all once more.
Why not come to Michigan? It U a good place;
plenty of employment. 1 wish yon would tell
me what you are d»iug there. Is Leonard clear
ing those mountains? or raising vegetables in
that rich valley. Whtji I was there ome seven
ty-five years ago,! the people thought that If the
railroad would come there it would nake them
all rich, but I have never ?een a person who has
ever been there, since I came away. If there has
been any changes Ido not know it. However. I
suppose, nature is the same and the sun seta at
three o'clock in the afternoon, just the same It
IS the most romantic place I ever saw. lain
glad you told me of the girls. Give my love to
those children, I remember them well. Also
Elijah. Little did I think when I first saw him,
that 1 should live until that boy was an old man,
for as I look at bim in my mind, he is now past
eighty. Remember me to .lm, pease also to
Frederic'* daughters. I ne- 112 knew them, but I
knew their parents long before they did. Now
Leonard, I want to have a little chat with you,
Your grand-father Sizer used to lei me that he
came in there, to get as far away from the woild
as he could. He said he peeled bark, set it up
against a tr&e. and hisfamily lire*, under that
until he built a cabin. Yes, Leonard, your grand
parents on both sides were pure pionters, and we
should not forget them. Now write and tell me
of the changes. Have those fiats east of the old
homestead been cleared?. Is there a saw mill in
the valley now? and where is the school house?
I want to write something for yon to read to
Rosanna. Inthedays ofthe earth'-childhood,
when man hardly knew himself, th<y told him,
man was an evil being. "And bs heart was
fully set in him to do evil, and that continually.
There is none that doeth good, no not one." But
when man became a little more aeqtumted with
himself and his relation to the wrld, he has
proved that he is not all evil. But tint he is the
highest expression of the Creator God, the
great good God, not only made the wirld, but he
made man in the v/orld, gave him all the pro
ductions ofthe eaiih, and the elements to work
witfc. and we haveTtut to look at the progress of
man has made since my remembrance. He has
laid the great Atlantic cable. 80UU tu les, in spite
of the mighty ocean. lie has .-pannW the earth
with railroads. He lias circled th« globe with
his steam boats. Is running a car >n the road
without horses and is a real nan killer
too—automobile. Man can talk tlrough the
ocean, walk through the mountains, ride under
the river and sail in the air; man, esiecially the
fanner, can hardly put his hand t< a tool like
what they used to use. Great improvements
everywhere.
I will now close tnls letter with my ove to your

What is the trouble? We seem to be
able to beat anything and everything
that comes our way outside the tri
county circuit, but when it comes to
that, the jig is up. The other clubs
do not play any taster ball, but still we
have been taking the short end.
V
The Cherokee Indians played two
games here on Monday. The after
noon game was won by the home i:ine
by a score of 12 to 1. It may be said
that the Emporium boys played about
the snappiest ball on this occasion seen
here this season. The boys were up
and doing from start t<« finish and
had the Indians outclassed at every
stage of the game. The night gaiwe
was somewhat of a novelty, and was
witnessed by a large crowd. Tbene
sult of the night game we did not learn,
as the score keeper being kept so busy,
took to the woods before the game
ended.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
AUGUSTUS D. GOULD.
AUGUSTUS DIXON GOULD, aged 51
years, passed away Tuesday evening,
July 2nd, at 11:00 p. m., at the family
residence, Eldred, Pa., after an ill
ness of less than one hour. The writer
was called to the 'phone immediately
upon the death of his brother-in-law
and our readers can imagine the shock
to the family. Mr. Gould, accompan
ied by his wife, had visited in Empori
um over Sunday, returning to their
home on Monday, and actively enter
ed upon the discharge of his various
duties; was joyful and apparently in
the best of health. However, while in
Emporium, (Saturday evening) he
complained of a smothering sensation,
which soon passed away. On Tues
day evening he accompanied his wife
to a place of amusem in and enjoyed
meeting old acquaintences, they hav
ing just returned from visiting in Vir
ginia for three weeks, taking in the
sights at Jamestown, Richmond and
other points, as members of the Na
tional Editorial Association. When
the hour for all good people came to
retire, he briskly walked to his resi
dence. Pleased with his evening's out
ing he continued to jolly his wife while
going to his room. Upon retiring he
again felt the smothering sensation
and hastened down stairs to tffoe toilet
room, followed by his wife, -who at
once saw that something sorious had
befallen him. She promptly -sumimon
ed the Dr. and neighbors *u»d carried
the sick man to his bed, when he said
"I guess lam going,"and passed to
the other shore. While fift was oot
known that he had heart tfiisease, 'he
never to-our knowledge hiwing com
plained yet it is a fact thrt such was
the case. The terrible news to the
family residing here (Misser,Jennie and
May Goald and Mrs. H. H. Mullini)
and the shock to the grief-sOricken wife
who was alone with her husband when
lie was token sick, can only be imagin
ed by those who have passed through
similar ordeals. Always apparently of
robust health, good habits and an ob
server of the laws of nature, few, if any
would hasre pointed to A. D. Gould as
a marked anan. Forcible reminder of
the uncertainty of life.
Closely associated with the deceased
since he was a lad hardly large enough
to stand at the type case, without
standing on a type box, we ktxsw him
as well, if riot better, than any other
living person. He always prided him
self on doing well anything he at
tempted and having excellent ability
he quietly and gentlemanly placed his
shoulder to the wheel and no matter
in what line—business, church or poli
tics-he honestly pursued his convict
ions Mild of manner, genial and
modest, he \w ß rapidly forging to the
front in McKean county, where he had
resided since 1878, working continually
for the advancement of Eldred and
McKean county. He never had a sel
fish motive in any of his political
moves, only the success of his party
and friends. A wise counsellor in all
party conferences, conscientious in his
j church work, loyal to hie family,
; friends and his town he will be missed.
H>s wise investments leaves his wid
ow in comfortable uircu in stances, his
business interests being in good shape.
The universal respect shown the de
ceased and his family by the people of
Eldred generally was highly gratifying
to the bereaved ones.

MIOSSAGES OP CONDOLENCE.
Numerous letters and telegrams of
condolence were received from old
friends—school-day friends, political
friends and personal acquaintances in
all parts of this state as well as distant
j points, attesting the noble qualities of
l the deceased. The universal expres
j eions of sorrow are highly appreciated
by his wife and other relatives.

Severe Operation.
Lloyd Johnston, son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. A. Johnston, who was taken to Buf
falo, last week to have an operation on
the leg injured last winter, is doing
nicely. In a letter from his father he
says:
"Lloyd underwent an operation Fri
day noon, at the Buffalo General
Hospital, by Dr. Park. A large piece
of bone, which had become separated
above the knee and slipped down so
that it interfered with the motion of
the knee, and which began to decom
pose, was removed and the wound
sewed up. The doctors here said that
if it had gone much longer he would
have lost his leg, as it was in very bad
condition. There were fourteen sur
geons present at the operation and
Dr. Park announced to them that it
was a rare case. He told me to-day
that Lloyd would now have
very good use of his leg but we could
not expect him to recover fully as it
would be a little short. Of course
we are exceedingly thankful that he
did not lose it."
The Bucktail Monument.
The following letter from our old
friend Wm. 11. Rauol), "Ibe Little
Corporal" secretary of the Bucktail As
sociation, shows how pleased all Buck
tails are that Little Cameron's able and
energetic Repreaentative, Hon. Josiah
Howard, secured the passage of the
measure that made the effort possible:
PHILADELPHIA, PA., JVNE 28, 1907.
HON. JOSIAII HOWARD,
Emporium, Pa.
My Dear Sir and Bucktail Comrade:
I just this moment received official
notification from the Secretary ot the
Commonwealth that the 'Bucktail
Monument Bill is a law, and the Com
fl6ff nan *ed therein cau proceed.
The brat act I want to do toward the
foundation of what is now a certainty,
is to thank you for the important part
you played in the introduction and
passage of the Bill making a monu
ment at Driftwood to the old "Bucks"
tinn t /h C l. na T me °f the Buckta 'l Associa
tion, then I want to say, "Thank you.
2. v il \ y ° l i ! '" A,ldl want to
™in 'i s°! pleased all the old "boys"
will feel to know that this great honor
to them was engineered by one whose
name is on our roll and has in this
manner shown how worthy he is in
being an adopted Bucktail.
~,. Sincerely your friend,
(Signed) WM. H. RAUCH, Sec'y.
Reunion.
One of the most enjoyable events of
the season was the family reunion at
the hodne of Mrs. A. D. Jordan at Sterl
ing Run.
At an early hour the guests began to
arrive, until the seven children and ten
frand children had all gathered to-
Sather, with "mother" as the queen.
The children are Mrs. W. H. Logue of
Huntley, Mrs. Thos. Logue of St,
Marys Mrs J. K. Beck, Emporium,
Mrs. J. w. Nelson, Sbawville; Mrs.
□eo. Strawbridge and Miss Nora, Sterl
ng Run and Miss R. J. Miller, Wil
uamsport.
We need not say the guests did nol
o justice at the noon hour, as the
tables just groaned with chicken and
all the good things that belong to suoh
an occeeion. After dinner Miss Lulo
Lewis took a photograph of the happy
group and a finer looking family would
be hand to find.
The guests enjoyed themselves huge
ly, till the 3:40 train, when one by one
they all departed for their homes, say
ing we will have another next year.
