LETTERS FROM SUBSCRIBERS,
W. A, Brown Would Hold Reunion of
Uncle Joe Feerher's Boys.
Dear Mr. Smith :
Your notice in the last issue of the
“ Reporter!’ referring to Prof. Joseph
H. Feerher certainly ‘‘got’ me. I
believe in throwing boquets at a man
while he is living, not wait until he has
passed over to say nice things about
him. Now my idea would be that
gome day this summer we have some-
where in Penns Valley a ‘* Feerher
Day”, and have a lot of dear Joe's
boys come together in a band reunion.
Thia could be on a day of some public
gathering, as for inatance on the day
of the meeting of the Centre Co. Vel
eran Club, which is usually held on
Grange Park. There are enough of
Uncle Joe's boys in close range to
make a band that would heard
‘round the world, and what a inspir-
ation that would be,
Won't you, Mr. E litor, start this by
appointing yourself chairman of a
committee, then appoint a committee,
and let us all get busy. [ recall with
pleasure the days when rivalry was
keen among the bands of old Penns
Valley, and we played better music
then than we do now, for instance
last summer I played ** Bilver Threads
Among the Gold’, one of our old
twenty years ago pleces, and had to
respond to three encores, Do the
late up-to-date ragtime pleces inspire
like that, I could name dozans of
pieces of the same style,
Now, Mr. Bmith, I trust you will
give this your thoughtful attention,
Your management of the Reporter
shows you ore enterprising and what
better could you do than bring a lot
of the old band boys of Penns Valley
together for a day of music and re.
union. If you desire any further
plans as to how this could be done, 1
will be glad to give you my views,
but would prefer to hear from some
others first.
With kindes!

Heroiam of an Indian,
A few years ago in northern Mexico
a truck carrying a load of dynamite
for use at a mine was suddenly discov
ered to be on fire at a village station. |
The risk was imminent, so the driver |
of a locomotive engine picked the truck |
up and ran it away foto the country at |
all the speed he could put on. He bade
the brakeman jJomp. off and save him
self, adding, “I go to my death.” When
he had got a mile away the dynamite
exploded. Every window in the village
l was broken, and he was blown to ate
oms, but the inhabitants were saved.
