The Fair.
The county fair held last week at
Keystone Park was fairly well attend
ed considering the disagreeable weath
er, as it rained the first three days and
a large number of our people were kept
from attending. The fair was a success
as to exhibits in the line of horses and
cattle, poultry, fancy articles, vege
tables,etc. The vegetables were not so
numerous as on other exhibitions but
as to appearance they were as nice
a lot of exhibits as could be found any
where, and for an off year, as is claim
ed, they were as good as any we have
ever seen.
Mrs. T. F. Moore carried off the tirst
prize in the spelling contest—a trip to
Jamestown Exposition.
On Wednesday afternoon the High
School base ball team defeated the St.
Marys High School team 15 to 3
On Thursday afternoon the Empori
um first team defeated the Renovo
nine 7to 6. The game was a "kick"
from beginning to end, only five in
nings being played on account of dark- '
ness.
The game on Friday afternoon with
Ridgway was a pitchers battle between
Hemphill and the Ridgway pitcher.
Emporium won by the score of 2 to 1.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that
Contain flercury.
As mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except on
prescriDtion from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive
from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, 0., contains no mercury, and
is taken internally, acting directly up
on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. In buying Hall's catarrh
Cure be sure you get the genuine. It
is taken internally and made in Toledo,
Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Go. Testi
monials free. Sold by Druggists.
Price, 75c per bottle. Take Hall's

Tree Planting and Forest Preser
vation in Pennsylvania.
Reforestation on a commercial scale
and economic purposes is receiving
much attention now in Pennsylvania
and many individuals and large cor
porations- realize the seriousness of the
future timber supply question and have
begun extensive planting operations.
The H. C. Frick Coke Company's re
cent plantings on Its holdings, princi
pally in the Connellsville coke region,
amount to 60,000 trees, consisting of
the red oak, catalpa, chestnut, and
European larch. Forest plantingoper
at ions of the Pennsylvania Railroad in
Pennsylvania have been under way
for some time and this year the com
pany set out 791,000 trees to supplement
its former plantings. Other corpora
tions which have also begun planting
on a large scale are the Westmoreland
Coal Company of Irwin, which has
lately completed the planting of 50,000
trees and the Keystone Coal and Coke
Company which has planted 25,000
trees.
The Johnstown Water Company has
carried out a series of planti.igs for im
proving and increasing the municipal
water supply for Johnstown. Some of
the region from which the water comes
consisted of old farm lands, the drain
age from which was not conducive to
the best health conditions. The farms
have been bought and planted with
chestnut, Scotch pine, white pine, and
red oak.
Other large companies and corpora
tions in Pennsylvania are considering
planting and some of them have al
ready taken up the work. Among
these corporations which have made
plans for reforestation on an extensive
scale is the Lehigh Coal and Naviga
tion Company which will plant on
tracts aggregating between 9,000 and
10,000 acres in Carbon and Schuylkill
counties. This work is to be done for
the protection of the company's water
supply and the production of timber
for mine props, boat poles and other
uses.
Prominent among the individuals
who have begun the reforestation of
considerable areas of land is Richard
Knight, New York who will plant over
700 acres in Northeast Pennsylvania.
Mr. Knight already has a fine planting
station in operation and will use about
1,000,000 trees in reforesting his tract.
The Forest Service, in accordance
with its policy of assisting States, cor
porations, and individuals in tree plant
ing and forest management, has pre
pared planting plans for a number of
companies in Pennsylvania. These
plans include an examination of the
land, study of the soil and drainage,
recommendations of the best kinds of
trees to plant, and suggestions for their
cultivation and care.
The trees which have been found
adapted to the best growth in Pennsyl
vania are Scotch pine, European larch,
chestnut, red oak, Norway spruce and
white pine. Experiments have also
been made with catalpa and the short
leaf pine will also be tested out in some
of the the planting operations.
The State of Pennsylvania has recog
nized the necessity of preserving its
remaining timber tracts,and of replant
ing denuded areas, and it has putin
operation a forest policy which in
cludes the purchase of large bodies of
land, fire protection, a forestry school,
and extensive reforestation.
Many of the railroad and mining
companies own land in large tracts,
from which the timber has been cut or
burned, and they have undertaken to
grow tcpes there again, by planting or
protecting the young growth which
springs up naturally. They are pro
viding for the needs of future years
when the pinch of scarity shall be felt
even more severely than at this time.
The sudden and disastrous floods of
recent years, in central and western
Pennsylvania, have been attributed to
the removal of the wooden cover from
the mountain slopes which formerly
stored and held back the excessive
storm water, permitting it to flow off
gradually. A restoration of this forest
cover is one of the purposes held con
stantly in view. The welfare of the
people of the State demands it, and it
is of almost equally vital importance
the cites and farming country along
the lower valleys beyond the Pennsy
vania line when periodic floods of
great severity follow extensive rains
or the sudden melting of snow.
The Touch that Heals.
Is the touch of Bucklen's Arnica Salve
It's the happiest combination of Arnica
flowers and healing balsams ever com
pounded. No matter how old the sore
or ulcer is, this Salve will cure it. For
burns, scalds, cuts, wounds or piles, it's
an absolute cure. Guaranteed by all
druggists. 25c.

Scarcity of Commercial Teachers.

Lecture at Sinnamahoning.
On October the 4th in the Methodist
Episcopal Church, at 8 o'clock p. m.,
Sterling W. Dickson, Esq., will deliver
an account of his three months in
Europe and the Holy I<and. Mr. Dick
son is a brother of the pastor of the M,
E. Church at Sinnamahoning and will
deliver bis lecture in the interests of
the improvements now being made at
the parsonage. No admission will be
charged; but a silver collection will be
taken at the close of the lecture. Mr.
Dickson is not a professional lecturer,
but President of the Berwick Trust
Co., and one of the promoters of West
Berwick, and doubtless it will be well
worth while bearing the impressions of
a business man after three months ob
servation of the Old World and the
Holy Land.

Watterson's Warning Against "Isms."
An Eloquent and Able Speech.
Colonel Henry Watterson made a !
speech at the opening of the Bluegrass i
Fair in Lexington in which he warned J
the people of his State against the in
trusion of certain "isms," and counseled }
them to live without hypocrisy by ad
hering to the standard of morals of Old j
Kentucky.
WARNING AGAINST "ISMS."
"I protest against that religion which
sands the sugar and waters the milk be
fore it goes to its prayers. I protest |
against that morality which poses as a
saint in public to do as it pleases in !
private. As the old woman said of the j
old man's swearing, ifthere'B anything
Ido hybominate it is hypocrisy. In
my opinion these things which threaten !
Kentucky are not the gentlemanly vices
of the race course and the sideboard,
but perfidy and phariseeism in public ;
and in private life.
"The men who made the Bluegrass
famous, who put the brand of glory
upon ite women, its horses and its
vintage, were not ashamed to take a
drink nor to lay a wager, though they
paid their losses and understood where
to draw the line. They marked the
distinction between moderation and
intemperance. They did not need to
be told what honor is. They believed, :
as I believe, that there is such a thing
as pretending to more virtue than
honest mortals can hope to attain.
"I warn our people against the intru- j
sion of certain "isms" which describe !
themselves as 'progress,' and muster
under the standard of what they call
'God and Morality,' but which, fifty
years ago, went by a very different
name; 'isms' which take their spirit
from Cotton Mather, not from Jesus
Christ; 'isms' which, where they can
not rule, would burn at the stake,
'isms' which embrace the sum cf all
fanaticism and intolerence, proposing
tha! , instead of the rich, red blood of
Virginia, ice water shall flow through
the veins of the people; 'isms'
in one word, would blot Kentucky out
of the galaxy of stars and recreate her
in the dread image of Maine and
Kansas.
NO ANGELS BY LEGISLATION
"I refuse to yield to these. Holding
the ministry in reverence an spiritual
advisers, rejecting them, as emissaries
of temporal power, I do not intend, if
I can help it, to be compelled to accept
a rule of modern clericalism, which, if
it could have its bent and sway, would
revive for us the priest-ridden systems
of the Middle Ages. Ido not care to
live in a world that is too good to be
genial; too ascetic to be honest; too
proscriptive to be happy. Ido not be
lieve that men can be legislated into
angels, even red-nosed angels.
"The blue laws of New England,
dead letters for the most part,did more
harm to the people, while they lasted,
than all agencies united. I would leave
them in the cold storage to which the
execration of some and the neglect of
all consigned them long ago, not em
balm and import them to Kentucky to
poison the meat and drink and char
acter of the people. I shall leave my
home life, my professional career and
my familiar associates to say whether
I do not place, and have not always
placed, the integrity of man, the purity
of woman and the sancity of religion
above all earthly things; but I hope
never to grow too old to make merry
with my friends and forget for a little
that lam no longer one and twenty!
When the time arrives for me togo to
my account, I mean togo shouting; to
go with my flag flying, and as I never
have lied to the people of Kentucky,
please God I never shall, I have told
them a great many unpalatable things.
FOR OLD KENTUCKY.
"I have met their disapproval full in
the face. I have lived to see most of
my admonitions against this, that and
the other vain hope vindicated by
events. I want to live yet a little long
er still to tell the truth and shame the
devil, but if obscurity and adversity
and neglect shall overtake me will be
a comfort even in the valley of the
shadow of death that from first to last
I fought not for the speckled gospels
of the short-haired women and the
i long-haired men of Babylon, but for
I the simple manhood and lovely woman
hood of old Kentucky—never New
Kentucky, but always and forever, Old
Kentucky—your birthright and mine."

Beautiful Church Wedding.
One of the most beautiful church
! weddings over celebrated in Empori
um took place at Emmanuel Episcopal
1 Church, at eight o'clock last evening,
i when Mi\ Edwin Mead Floyd, of Olean,
j was wedded to Miss Jane Kaye, second
daughter of our esteemed citizens, Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Kaye. Promptly at
eight o'clock the bridal party arrived
| at the church, when the strains of
I Lohengren's Wedding March, (Mrs.
i W, H. Howard presiding at the pipe
i organ) was notice for the approach of
I the party. The groom assisted by his
| best man, Mr. Geo. Amsden, of Buffalo
took their places in the chancel, when
! the procession, headed of Miss Flor
i ence Floyd, Maid of Honor; Miss Hazel
M. Floyd and Miss Marie Garvin,
| Bride's Maids; Miss Sara Kaye, Miss
Christie Edwards and Miss Helen
Housler, Flower Girls; bride leaning
J upon the arm of her father approached
I the alter and took their places before
Rector Robertson when the beautiful
Episcopal ceremonj' was celebrated in
| apple pie order.
The bride was elaborately gowned in
: Duchesg Satin, trimmed with baby
; Irish lace, wearing a long veil and car
' ried a bouquet of white roses; the
groom and best man wore the conven
tional evening suits; the Maid of Honor,
| sister of Groom, wore a beautiful gown
| of crepe de chene trimmed with baby
I Irish lace; the bride's maids, three
handsome young ladies, wore pink
cbiffor voile, trimmed with Irish lace;
the ushers, Messrs. Charles, Elmer
Kaye, and John T. Howard were con
ventionally attired and very creditably
filled the position; the flower girls,
looked just as sweet as they are, dress
ed in pure white and lace. All looked
lovely and the bride "was just to
sweet for anything" and stood the
j ordeal admirably. It was certainly a
handsome wedding and we regret the
lateness of the hour prevents a more
i elaborate account at our hands. The
i bride is an energetic lady and will
make a helpmate to the excellent hus
band of her choice, who is connected

Dr. Merril, of Hicks Run, and Dr.

The Barrel and the Keg.
The way to make a barrel of money,
acoording to The Louisville Courier-
Journal, is to spend a keg in advertis
ing. The recipe is infallible, provid
ed the keg is spent judiciously. But
just as some millionaires with littler
knowledge of art have been known U>
invest vast sums in collections of paint~
ings which turned out to be mere rub
bish, so it is possible for ill-advised
seekers for publicity to load up with
gold bricks. The exploiter of merch
andise who doesn't know how himself
must enlist the aid of the expert.
