How Are Those
Shoes Wearing?
Perhaps yon are one of the very
large number who bought shoes at
this store in the last few months.
If you are, the question applies to
you.
pair
We are interested in every
of our shoes that are in service.
Our interest never ceases while the
shoes “live.” ;
We want to know just how the
shoes we sell wear. If any make
that we handle isn’t up to the mark,
we are just as eager to know it as
anyone could be-—and if you don’t
tell us how the shoes wear, we can
never know whether our shoemak-
ers are living up to their contracts
or not.

The Musieal Convention,
The musical convention held in the
U. Ev. church, last week, Prof. Craw-
ford, conductor, was a complete sue-
cess. The class numbered upwards of
seventy-five voices, and they were an
unusually fine set of vocalists, acquit
ing themselves creditably in every
piece rendered and the large audiences
were delighted throughout. Hence
we do not make special mention of
names, as all in the class are deserving
of praise in the musical feast, as well-
done,
The Thursday evening concert drew
a good house, and only a necromance
performance in Arcadia hall on same
evening, prevented standing room be-
ing taken up. The concert was a fine
one,
Fridaylevening's concert was an over-
flow affair. Aisles, stairways and seats,
were packed. The program for the
concert was an excellent one and the
performance equal to it. When the
program was about half through, in
order to afford a rest for the class, Rev.
Christine was called upon and deliver-
ed a brief and neat address.
We never knew an audience to con-
duct itself more orderly, we are pleased
to say. The convention was an eveut
long to be remembered.
Rev. Rhodes and his assistants de-
serve great credit for the get-up of the
convention,
The receipts by the convention were
$110.39, leaving the church a hand-
some profit,

Lewisburg Prisoners Esonpe,
Three Lewisburg eriminals cut their
way out of jail on Wednesday morn-

serving a sentence of nine months, and
John Renfer, convicted of larceny.
They cut several iron bars with a saw
and used a rude wooden key on one of
the outer locks. They asked William

for help, but too late.

REV, HAMILL DEAD,
The Venerable and Respected Minister
Gone to His Reward,
Rev. Robert Hamill, D. D., the ven-
erable and well-known Presbyterian
divine, died at the home of his daugh-
ter at Philadelphia, last Thursday, aft-
er a brief illness, in his 85th year.
He was born at Norristown, Pa., in
1816, and was educated at the High
school at Lawrenceville, N. J., and at
Jefferson College, Cannonsburg, Pa.
After receiving his college degree
he returned to Lawrenceville and
taught for two years, He then enter-
ed Princeton Theological Beminary at
Princeton, N. J., and after three years
was ordained a Presbyterian minister.
For many years he resided at Oak
Hall, until within recent years when
he made his residence in Philadelphia.
He was twice married, both wives be-
ing dead, and is survived by four sons
and two daughters. ®
He was a Director of Princeton Sem-
inary, and for many years was a trus-
tee of Lafayette College.
Dr. Hamill came herea young man,
Sinking Creek and Spring Creek
churches being his first charge,
five years ago. He was an ideal Pas-
tor, was honored and respected by all
the safest counselors. In
his
any
member for fifty-five years,
ion had more weight than
member,
ed he could have obtained places
he preferred to cast his lot with
were to him. He did not
an equal as a Pastor in the family,
well as being able in the palpit.
Rev. Hamill, a liceatiate of the Pres-
bytery of New York, on lavitation,
visited the Sinking Creek and Spring |
Creek churches in the year 1545, and a
short time after hh a unanimous |
call to become their Pastor. Accept-
ing these calls, he was ordained and
installed as pastor on the 5th of June,
1846. This relation he sustained twen-
ty-nine years—until April 1874.
baving been called for his whole time
by Spring Creek,
as
pastorate of forty-five years,
for peamission to resign his charge on
account of impaired health, he was, at
dresses, received into the church
six hundred aod
tisms, ordained twenty Elders, attend -
miles in the execution of his work.
He baptized, received into
church and married, the parents and
the children, and in some instances the
children’s children.
men were introduced into the Gospel
ministry from the bounds of his charge.
Four churches were organized from
churches,
The means used by him in the pros.
ecution of his work were the direct
presentation of the cardinal teachings,
doctrinal and practical, of the Gospel
truth, pressed home upon the heart
and conscience, and coupled with faith-
ful following up by pastoral visitation
aod personal counsel from house to
house. At the close of his long pas-
torate he remarked that a new genera-
tion had grown up. He survived all
the old members of the church he so
long served,
In a letter written to a friend a short
time ago he remarked that he ‘did not
think that a single member of the
church as it was then constituted sur-
vived, and the younger ones, who
were children when I left them have,
I suppose, grown out of my acquain-
tance, so that if I should happen to
drop down among you I would have
to be introduced to some of the child-
ren whom I baptized.”
Dr. Hamill was a faithful pastor, a
sound and instructive preacher, and
was honored and beloved by his flock
through his long pastoral career. Aft-
er his retirement from the Spring
Creek church he made his home with
his daughter in Philadelphia. Thus
ended the life of one whose memory is
sacred in the homes of many of his
people in our valley, Parents talk to
their children of his Christian charac-
ter, and his strict piety and Christian
counsel has left ita impress in many
homes, which will bear fruit in ages to
come, ‘‘Blessed are the dead who die
in the Lord, for they rest from their
labors and their works do follow
them.”

The Spring Sales,
It is a subject of remark that more
Centre county farmers are making sale
of their live stock and implements, at
public outcry, this spring, than in any
previous year. And the query is, how
to mocount for it. Upwards of one
hundred sales are advertised to come
off on farms between this and April
1, next, in our county, and these sales
are principally amoung large farmers,
