I The first meeting of the Board of | Trade, held in their new rooms, over the Library, last Monday evening, was very successful, a large number of mem bers being present. Tn the absence of the President, the first Vice-Preuident, the Hon. I. K. Hockley made the open ing address. A number of questions for the good of the town were discuss ed, among which was: Will a public market benefit our town ? Many mem bers gave their opinion on this matter and it was shown that a market would, beyond a doubt, be a great stimulant to the farmers of our county, inducing them to raise more and bettor pro duce, for which they would receive better prices than here-to-fore and all spot cash. The town's people would also be greatly benefitted by this, in having a chance to buy their fruits, vegetables, etc., strictly fresh from the producer thereby saving the middle man's profit. The merchants would also be benefitted by this market as the farnUTr would have more money to spend and without doubt spend it in our town. livery member present was in favor of a public market. A committee, who was appointed, will lay this matter before the Council at theit next regular meeting. It was de cider! by an unanimous vote to have the new rooms open twice a week, every Monday and Friday evenings. Every meeting will combine business and pleasure. The entertainment com mittee will see that something of in terest will be offered at each meeting. It is hoped that, not only the mem bers, but all those who have the good of the towu at heart, will be present at every meeting. After the business was over the members indulged in a friendly game of King Pedro, in which Messrs. I. K. Hockley and A. C. Blum proved themselves invincible. Next meeting will be £eld to-morrow eve ning (Friday) in the rooms over the Library. Don't forget to attend. First Presbyterian Church. Paul J. Lux, Pastor.

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, MAR( 'TJ 4, 1909 A BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL. Mr. J. L. Wheeler of Marion Pur chases Large Historic Estate Near Georgetown. Mr. J. L. Wheeler of this city has purchased the Gen. Alexandor prop erly near Georgetown, which contains about fifteen thousand acres consist ing of North Island, South Island, and a large part of Cat Island. Tho prop erty is said to be worth about $250,000. It has on It one of the largest rice plan tations in the State, with its own rice mill, which with all the stock on the place and the farm improvements were included in the deal. Saturday's is sue of the Georgetown Item contained the following concerning the purchase: "The party of gentlemen from Mari on, S. C.. Messrs. J. L. Wheeler, Mar vin Davis and Henry Buck, which the Daily Item exclusively reported as having arrived in this port on last Thursday morning from Marion on their beautiful and nobby launch, the "Temiskaming," which,we understand, is named after the go'd mine of Mr. Wheeler, in Mexico, returned yester day from North and South Islands, where they had gone to close negocia tions for all of Gen. E. P. Alexander's island holdings. In an interview with Mr. Marvin Davis yesterday afternoon he informed us that the party named above had purchased all the property on North and South Islands, belonging to General Alexander, and would make all necessary improvements in and around their holdings on each of of the islands, as it was purposed to make a great deal of this valuable pro perty into a game preserve. Aside from its value as a game re sort, North I«land, situated as it is on the Atlantic ocean, has no equal in its conditions of health, and is one of the most accessable of the islands adjacent to this city, being only fifteen miles from dock to dock. If the hills which stand as monu ments of by-gone ages, were leveled, thereby, filling up the ravines, boauli ful and airy residences erected, what an ideal summer resort North Island would become for summer tourists from all over the country. No fear of sickness, plenty of fish, oysters shrimp and water fowl, no apprehension of danger from storms, as South Island is close by and is connected with the main lands. Surely the eves of our forefathers have been blinded by these actual nat ural advantages of one of the most eli gible islands on the coast which figura tively speaking, lies at our very doors, or else North Island to-day would have been a veritable Garden of Eden."—Marion, S. C. Star. A Success. A very pleasant evening was enjoy ed by all who attended the fair at the Swesey school house, Saturday even ing, February 20, 1909. A special ex cursion was run on the E. &R. V.

Miss Her tig was completely surprised. Most everything you could think of in the line of kitchen utensils were showered upon her. Miss Hertig was born and raised in Emporium and has a host of friends and has always been a member of the "Ramblers" ever since the or ganization of the club She is soon to become the wife of Mr. Gordon Mc- Griffin, of Ridgway, a very exemplary young man, who certainly made a wise choice in selecting Miss Ida. The weddintj day is kept a secret from her many friends, but it is sincerely hoped that it will become known in time so that the usual rice shower may follow the ceremony. Misses McQuay and Rentz served refreshments and the "Ramblers" assisted Miss Hertig to her home with the useful articles Bhe re ceived. Those present were : Misses Ethel Day, Vera Olmsted, Emma El lis, Marion Itentz, Edith Heilman, Myr tle Lloyd, Lillian Heilman, Lora Mc- Quay. Verena Hertig. Messrs.

Caleb Powers, of Kentucky, who delivered his lecture at Emporium last Tuesday evening and while the at tendance was not as large as it should have been, owing to the inclement weather, those who did attend were deeply interested and the lecturer 1 held his hearers for over one hour. I His talk of the persecution for eight ! long years, during which time he was tried four times for the murder of Gov. Goebel, sentenced to death twice and to life imprisonment twice, being final ly pardoned, was indeed thrilling. It is a miracle that he is at all able to tell his story. The American citizens, who contributed $50,000 to aid him in his I battle for life, certainly did a com mendable act. Wherever he goes, he should have crowded houses.

(iood Cough Medicine for Children. The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care cannot be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to contract diptheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamberlaiu's Couyli Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are williug to use any other. Mrt>. F. Starcher, of Ilipley, W. Va., says:"l have never used unvthiug other than Chamberlain's Couph Remedy for my children, and it has always giveu good satisfaction." This remedy contains no opium or other nar cotic and may be uiven as confientlv to a child as to an adult. For sale by L, Taggart. $25.00 for a Name.
