Mrs. Green Improving.
! The PRESS received cheering news J
from Judge Greeu yesterday relative to i
Mrs. G's condition, who was taken to
University Hospital, Philadelphia, ;
last Saturday. Dr. Richard Norris, j
an eminent physician of that j
city and an acknowledged authority, |
made an examination, assisted by Drs.
S. S. Smith and Carl Lee Felt, and J
came to the conclusion "that an opera- I
tion was not at all necessary and that |
she would eontiuue to improve by
treatment." This is cheering news to J
' Judge Greeu and family, as well as i
their many friends. They are expect- j
ed home within a few days.
Has the Sand.
W. G. Gilbert accepted a wager of
I $5.00 with Jan. B. Hayes, on Friday ;
last, that he dare not work on the ditch
with the men laying a sewer on Broad
.'street. W. G., took up the wager, got 1
i busy and handled the tools like an old
stager for one-half a day, won the
money, accepted the contractors fl.oo, j
ook a hot bath (?) and got up early the
next morning as fresh as a daisy.
Big Anniversary Numbers. j
Next Monday will be the third an
niversary of the opening of the Thea- 1
torium and the management are mak
ing arrangements to give their pat
rons the liest attractions, in both vau- j
deville and reels, they can secure. |
The management are careful that only j
clean attractions are presented, there
by guarding against the presenting of
pictures or vaudeville of the least ob
jectionable character, thereby makiug
it perfectly safe for ladies and child
ren to attend. This precaution ac- i
count* for large attendance every
evening at thin popular place of amuse
ment. Hundreds never miss an even
ing. Remember, next Monday even
ing the attractions will be unusually at.
tractive and the price will be the
same- ten cents—for the big show.
Cabbage Setting Bee.
A Cabbage setting bee was held at
the Climax farm ou Saturday, Juue 4th
at which time U, 600 plants was set out.
Mr. Arthur Cousius carried off the
honors of the day having set out 460
plants in nine minitues. Mr. Cousius
says that in favorable conditions he
can set out at least 3,000 plants iu au
hour. If all these cabbage plants ma
ture into goo*l cabbages there will be
enough cabbage to make sourkraut for ;
entire Cameron county,

maboning, and 382 of Emporium went
to Hicks Run and instituted a new
Camp of P. O. S. of A. Sixty-five
members were present and signed the
constitution of the new Camp. The
Camp is composed of a fine lot of
young men and will, in a short time,
be one of the largest Camps in the dis
trict. District President, W. F. Sum
merson, of North Bend, had charge of
the Institution, the work being done
by the North Bend Degree Team, and
was performed in an able manner.
The Hicks Run Band met the visiting
brothers at the station and marched
them into town with martial music.
After the services of instituting the
Camp, the visiting members were in
vited to the banquet room where the
ladies of Camp 30, P.O. of A., were
waiting with a bounteous supply of
good things, which were much enjoy
ed by all. While the visitors were eat
ing, the District President installed
the officers of the new Camp, after
which they all came to the banquet
hall and partook of refreshments. An
address was given by Mr. George
Morton, of Camp 88, Renovo, who ex
tended the thanks of the visiting bro
thers to the Daughters of America, who
were joined in the noble work of their
order and for the splendid banquet
that was furnished by them. Owing
to there being no train out of the place
until the next afternoon, the visiting
brothers were invited home with the
Hicks Run brothers. Before leaving
the hall the Supt. of the Sunday school
gave them all au invitation to visit the
school, at 10:30 Sunday morning, which
was cordially accepted and we can
truly say that they have a fine Sunday
School. The singing was very nice
and the lessons were explained in an
able manner by the teaoliers. The day
and night being spent, as we hope for
some good to the people of Hicks
Run and the visiting members, we left
on train at 3:20 I'. M., for home, with
l>est wishes for the new Camp, the P.
O. of A., aud the Hicks Run Sunday
School.
