Jones Hardware Co., which also handles con siderable dynamite for use In the mines of Summerville. Mr. Jones recently had a sample of Cameron county dyna mite and is convinced that it is up to the same high standard as the air, water and mountain scenery of* this county. Base Ball. The strong Dagus Mines team came to Emporium yesterday and were de feated by the Keystone Nationals with a score of 9to 0. This was the sixth defeat for the Dagus team of 28 games played. Svvartz's one band catch of a liner was one of the features of the ! game. A good sized crowd was pres ent, but the patrons of the game were small, as many went around the hill and got into the grounds. Our would be enthusiasts, who are always howl ing for some place togo failed to at tend. Emporium cannot expect to have a good team if they do not en courage them. The players are not paid men, they are working to give the town a big name and so why not at tend the games and give the boys en couragement. Moved Barber Shop. J. H.

S. of A., received a com munication from State President, Mr. Eugene F. Hendricks, of Reading, Pa., that Emporium Camp had won second prize for the second largest percentage of increase in membership during the past year, The prize is a set of pedes tal covers for the officers stations. This speaks well for Emporium Camp when taken into consideration that the town is not very large and has not the yopulation to draw from that larger placeß have. The members of the P. O. S. of A., in Emporium are hustlers and are bound to make Camp 382 amount to semething. The delegate, Mr. Henry Ludlam, who is attending the State Convention at Easton, Pa., this week, will receive the prize in bo half of the Camp. Accidently Shot On Monday evening while Harry Sprung and several others were con versing at the St. Charles Hotel, East Emporium, James Welsh, one of the parties, while attempting to remove a letter from his pocket accidently drop ped a revolver, which exploded, the ball entering Sprung's right leg, go ing entirely through and passing up along his body. The wound was dress ed by Dr. Falk and the young man was taken to the Eagle Hotel where he has boarded for some time. He is resting easy at this writing and it is hoped he will be able to resume his duties soon. Contract Let. The contract for the concrete side walk, curbing, steps and retaining wall in front of the Court House, was let on Tuesday to Fred Bliss, bid be ing as follows: 3,960 Bq. feet of Sidewalk at l r »c per square foot # 327 feet of Curbing at 60c per lineal foot. 260 feet of Steps at 80c per lineal foot. 21)0 feet of Retaining wall $1.45 per lineal foot. Mr. Bliss has had wide experience in '.he concrete business and we have not the least doubt about the job bein<j done in a first class manner. The walk in front of the Court House has been in a bad condition for a long time and this work has been badly needed. A Neat Rack. Dr. H. S. Falk is the possessor of a very neat umbrella holder and can well be proud of it. Last winter he Was presented with a small bear by Allen Russell and this he had mounted in an upright position, the bear hold ing a circle of wood to support the um brellas. It certainly is very pretty and attracts much attention of the callers at the genial doctor's office. The Churches. FIRST MHTHODIKT EPISCOPAL. REV. J. F.
