7 New Style Postal Cards,
On the first day of July next the bill
permitting the printing and use of pri-
vate mailing cards, with a one cent
stamp affixed will go into effect. The
progressive business man will have his
own advertisement conspicuously dis-
played, and printing of millions of
cards will make work for the printer.
The bill is approved by the postoffice
department, as it tends to popularize
postal cards besides affecting a saving
to the government of the difference be-
tween the cost of the cards and the
stamp.

Large Funeral,
The funeral of Mrs. J. R. Lawyers,
who was found dead in bed last Wed-
nesday morning, took place on Satur
day afternoon from the home of the
family, west of the Old Fort. It was
a very large concourse of friends who
paid their last tribute to the deceased
estimable lady. The services were
held at the home, Rev. Faus, of the
Methodist church, officiating. The
interment was made in the cemetery

RECEPTION AND SOCIAL,
A Warm Welcome Given Rev, ¥, F. Chris-
tine and Family.
A reception and social was given
[Saturday afternoon and evening by
| the Presbyterians, to welcome their
new pastor, Rev, F, F. Christine and
family. This was not intended in any
sense as a donation party, although we
feel sure there were some tokens of
good will that were of financial value,
The main object was to cultivate the
social qualities.
About 8 p. m. they began to come in
from all points of the compass, and
most of them had something to tickle
the palate or tempt the appetite, such
as bread and rusks, sandwiches, cakes
in great variety and large quantity,
with water, tea and coffee to rinse it
down. The ice cream was great, and
you should have seen it disappear.
Tmall tables were set in the Sunday
school room and supper was served
from five to seven; from eighty to one
hundred took sapper, quite a number
of them from Spring Mills and viecini-
ty, and all seemed pleased, especially
with the supper.
After all had eaten order was called
| in the audience room by Prof. Krise,
|and Prof. E. J. Wolf was called on to
make some remarks, this he did in a
very happy mood —although it was en- |
| tirely impromptu—referring to his as- |
{ sociation with Mr. Christine,
speaking for him and his family the |
hearty support of all, both morally and |
financially. To this Rev. Christine
made a very earnest reply, reminding
them that he was only human, and
would likely make mistakes, but would
try not to make the same mistake |
twice; promising to do his best always,
anything that might be undertaken,
and that he might be remembered
their prayers.
This was followed by a report of the
building committee of the

DEATH OF MRS. JOHN PUFF,
On Friday Afternoon at Her Home, After
a Lingering Illness,
After several months of suffering,
and remarkable submission to the Di-
vine will, Mrs. John Puff, of Centre
Hall, died on April 9, 1807, of lung dis-
ease, aged 83 years. Bhe leaves a hus-
band and one child, about $hree years
old, who have the heart-felt symyathy
of their many friends.
Mrs. Pull was a member of the M.
E. church in Centre Hall. Hers was
an unassuming, beautiful Christian
life; unable to attend church for more
than a year, yet her influence for good
was great, Those who knew her best
think no eulogy too extravagant. Her
death was what every one expected,
peace,
Her funeral services were conducted
by her pastor, Rev. T. 8. Faus, in the
M. E. church at this place, on Mon-
day morning, from whence a large
congregation followed her to the Cen-
tre Hall cemetery, the place of inter-
ment.
