—See the went* of tho Bellefonte Cur
"Works in our advertising colums.
Harry Green finds a rapid '*l® f° r
his extra five cent Florida cigars. Call
and try them.
—You can get the best five cent cigar to
be found in Bellefonte st Frank Green's
drug store. Call for Harry's Florida
brand.
—As a pleasant, safe and reliable remedy
for all diseases of the pulmonary organs
Green's Compound Hyrup of Tar Honey
and Blood root has no equal.
—Gentlemen's furnishing goods of every
variety and quality can be found in stock
nt the Philadelphia Branch, which are
being sold remarkably cheap.
—Mr*. Frank Hillibish and her child
ren, of Canton, Ohio, have beea spending
some time with their relatives in Belle
fonte, and are no doubt enjoying their
visit.
—A very neat new head made a decided
improvement in the appearance of Relit*
fonte Morning Sewi on last Thursday
morning. We think the new name :
"Daily News," is also a praiseworthy
change.
—Hon. William K. Alexander, of Mill
heim, started on Monday morning of last
week on a journey to Texas. It Is rumor
ed that Mr. Alexander has some notion of
looking for a business location in the far
Southwest.
—Mr. Lewin, of the Philadelphia
Branch Clothing house on Allegheny
street, Bellefonte, defies competion. In
quality, style and price, his clothing will
be found superior to any in town. Call
and be convinced.
—Tberc was a delightful social gather
ing of young people at the residence of
Mr. Frank Green, on Linn street, on
Wednesday evening of last week, in honor
of the birthday of the twin sisters, Misses
Emma and Mary Green.
—Attorney* Fortncy, Bower and Mc-
Kee spent several days last week in Mill
helm taking testimony in the contested
election case of Keifsnyder vs. Musser.
The contest is for the office of Justice of
the Peace for Millheim borough.
—Mr. James Loder, of Howard town
ship, fell from a wagon last week, and
bruised himself considerably, in addition
to somewhat severe internal injuries. Mr.
Loder is an old gentleman, quite heavy,
and not so active as in hi* younger days
and It is feared that the consequences of
his fall may prove serious.
—Mr. Hiram Hoffor, of Philipahurg,
gave hi* many friends in Bellefonte, the
pleasure of his society for a few day* last
week. Mr. lloffer is such a pleasant, ge
nial gentleman, that he always receives a
hearty greeting from all hi* acqnainUnce*.
We are glad to hear that he is doing a
prosperous business in his new home.
—We are sorry that Mr. Linn should
have been obliged to speak in the cemetery
on lest Monday under somewhat embar
• raising surrounding*. We have never
seen it otherwise, however, during the
time occupied by orators in the cemetery
on decoration day. The crowd scatters,
many indulge in loud talk, in running
around, end in other actions that ere not
proper end should not be permitted on
these occasions. We sey this more in sor
row than in anger, end trust that in fu
ture some measures will be taken to pre
vent these Improper and indecorons dis
plays.
—Mr. J. 8. Flshor, of Rebersburg,gave
Ibo DEMOCRAT a call last weok. Mr. Kiibur
it ongagod in tbo manufacture of carriages,
buggies, spring wagons and tloighs, and
does an extensive business. Ho is a skill,
ful and experienced workman himself and
is thoreforo able to guarantee satisfaction
to all persons who purchase the products
of his shops.
—The popular grocery of 8. A. Hrew &
Son continues to lead all others in the
amount of business transacted. It is the
best place to buy pure, sweet and fresh
groceries. Though tho establishment is
well known, there may be a few persons
in tho county who liavo nevor patronized
them. It will bo to their advantage to do
so on the next occasion they wish to buy.
—Maj. George I). I'ifer, on his usual
business trip through tho country, put in
an appearance at Belicfonto on last Satur
day. Tho Major remains with tho houso
with which ho has so long been connected,
Jones, Hoar A Co., of 514 Market Street,
Philadelphia, and report* business in a
flourishing condition. Tho friends of tho
Major—and they are legion—were all
pleased to meet him.
—People may sometimes be inclined to
ask why tho grocery store of Sechlcr A
Co., is so popular. This is an easy matter
to explain. This enterprising Arm sells
nothing but the best goods in their lino to
tie found in tho markets, and consequently
every customer who comes to the store is
not only fully satisfied, but pleated with
his or her purchases. Tho best in the mar
ket, reasonable prices and fair dealing will
make any firm popular.
Mr. 11. 11. Bonner, of this place has
been appointed and commissioned a Notary
Public. He will have his office with Squire
John Kankin, on the second floor of
Humes' Block, whore ho will always bo
pleased to meet his friends who ne-d his
services. In addition to the business of a
Notary, ho will also give attention to pen
sion claims and hopes to receive a share of
the patronage. We wish Harvey success
in his new vocation and hope ho will
achieve it.
Burglaries are coming to be quite a
common occurrence in Howard borough.
Tho store of I.ucas A Bros., of that place
was again broken into and ransacked one
night last week, this being the fourth or
fifth time, wo l>clicve, that this firm has
been tho recipient of these unwelcome
visits. In this instance, however, the
•camps had their pains for their trouble,
failing to receive any booty ; though the
safe wa pried open with tools taken from
the division tool house on the railroad, and
from B. F. Walter's blacksmith shop.
—Tho summer minting of tho State
Board of Agriculture will be held at Wil
liamsport, commencing June 7. Tho pro
gramme indicates an unusually interesting
session. Among the stated essays we no
tice one by Profeaaor Jordan, of the State
College upon the "Economical use of
Stock Food*,' all of the sessions of the
Board are open t>> the public, and all are
invites! to take part in the discussions.
We have no doubt that as many of our
farmers as can find time in this busy season
to attend will find profit in doing so. Re
duced rate* of fare can be obtained by ad
dressing Mr. D. 11. Forcsman, William
sport.

Tho shooting at 200 yards is fair for a
first trial at that range. As usual, Van
Pelt carried ofT the honors. At 100 yards
Sweeny is making rapid improvement.
From a blank to a score of 12 is a big
stride.
—Two well known Linn street men, liv
ing in close proximity to each other de
cided to test the efficacy of Brown's Bo
hemian Beer tho other ijight. They are
not in the habit of drinking more than
they can conveniently carry home and
they were much astonished after they pass
ed Howard street to find that the malt
fume* from famed Bohemia had decidedly
the best of them. The night was dark
and their house* looked exactly alike.
They held a convention an the street and
passed a resolution to the effect that they
could not pick out their respective houses.
After considerable debate thsy resolved to
tackle the first house and find out which of
them lived there. With great difficulty
they reached the door bell, and frantically
sent a peal ringing through tho house. A
lady's head was immediately visible at a
second story window. "Does Mr. Thomp
son lite here?" asked an uncertain voice.
"Yes sir," was the irrascibie response.
"Are you Mrs. Thompson? 1 ' again ven
tured the Meseo-Sopreno," "I am," was
the Damascus-like reply. "Then will you
please come down and pick Mr. Thompson
out, Mr. Johnson want* to go home."
There is a decided coolneet now noticeable
between the two famtltee. The name* are
fictitious but Ulo facts as narrated are lit
erally correct.

Momorial Honors to tho Nation'#
Dead.
Never slnco an annual momorial day
was instituted in honor of tho dead sol
dier* of tho country was tho day more ap
propriately and impres*ivoly observed in
Kellofonto than on last Monday. Gregg
I'ost, No. 96, Grand Army of tho llepub
lic, had taken liinoly action to mako tho
corcmonies of tho day successful, as well as
interesting, to those who should take part
in them, and tho mombor* oi tho I'ost aro
to bo congratulated upon tho perfection of
their arrangements and tho fitting manner
in wiiich they were carried out.
It rnuy bo said thatthe memorial honors
really began on Sunday, by a sermon de
livered to tho I'ost by Kov. John Hewitt,
of tho I'rotostant Episcopal Church. Be
tween fifty and sixty member* of tho I'ost
inarched to tho church in a body, occupy
ing a number of pews set apart for them.
A largo congregation was present, and tho
services throughout wcro of an impressive
ly interesting character. In connection
with tho usual Sunday morning service of
tho church, tho rector read for tho lesson*
of tho day the thirty-second chapter of
Genesi* and tho sixth chapter of Ephes
iaris, taking for his text the Ist, -tui and
part of tho 7th verse* of tho ehapter read
from tho Old testament, in these word* :
1. "Ami Jacob went on hi* way, and
the angels of (<xi met him."
2. "A..d when Jacob saw them, he said,
Thi* i* God's host and ho cat'ed the iiamo
of that place Mahanaim.''
7. * * * "and he divided the people
that vie with him • • • into two
band*.''
From these word* Mr. Hewitt drew an
initructivo and deeply impressive leaaon
between the living and the dead host*
that went to battle for the preservation of
the government. Tho angel* of God met
them and they wero divid<<d into two
hands, that if one hand fell the other
might be preserved. Wo cannot attempt
a further *ynnpal* of thi* able and eloquent
sermon at thi* time, expecting, through
tho kindne* of Mr Hewitt, to lay it before
the readers of the DEMOCRAT in full next
week. It i sufficient for the present to
•ay that the discourse throughout wa* ex
ceedingly appropriate and edifying.
On M nday morning, those gruel friend*
of the Post, the ladies, ever active and
willing in good work*, were promptly on
hand, furnishing an abundant supply of
fresh flower* and arranging them with
their fair, deft hand* into beautiful
wreatb and boqucts. It would be a great
pleasure to give the name* of ail the lair
contributor* but they are no numerous that
a want of space com|>els u* to omit them.
The programme arranged by the F.sst
fixed the hour for the assembling of the
various organizations taking part in the
ceremonies at four o'clock, r. M., and
promptly at that hour all appeared in tho
square in front of the Court House. The
line wa* formed under the direction of Ad
jutant Henner, and then turned over to
the command of Pot Commander George
F. Harris, who acted as Chief Marshal.
Wheeling into column the procession
marches! over the prescribed route in the
following order :

by the crowd* on the pavement* a* the
column marrhed along. The Are compan

The Ix>gan hoy* turneo out between thir

the flrt time in their new uniform—blue

clean and frcth and of cour*e received
many complimentary remark* from their
friend*.
AT THE CBUrriRT.
A* the head of the column wheeled into
the entrance of the cemetery the time wa*
changed to a *low .top—the band playing
a dead march and the military company
rever*ing arm*. With *low, nmanured
tread the column marched up the main
avenue of the city of the dead and wheal-
Ing to the left proceeded to the burial lot
of the llalo family, around which a hollow
<]uare wa* formed, preparatory to the ex
ercite* of the day.
The decoration exercise* in the cemetery
began with the beautiful ritual of the
Urand Army of tho Republic for the dec
oration of four apecial graves. The object
of the a**emblage wa* *tated by the Poet
Commander and wa* followed by prayer
by Rev. i>e Long. Comrade* Keller, Ir
vin, Love and Lankin then, in the order
named, dunwind the four gravM, each re
pealing the inlemn and appropriate word*
of the ritual.
At the concluflon of thl* ceremony came
the general decoration of the grave* of all
the soldier*, "lying *o quiet by night and
by day," In th* cemetery. A magnificent
floral croc* that *tood at the centra of one
tide of the iquare wa* stripped of It* lux
uriant wealth of "beautiful flowers" by
the member-it of tbo l'ot, all carrying off
boquot* to deck the grave* of their dead
comrade*. When this had been accom
plished, the assembly wa* lounded, and
the organization* and vi*itor* present gath
ered around the stand to licar the oration
oi Hon. .1. Merrill Linn, of Union coun
ty, who had been announced a* the orator
of the day. Mr. Linn wa* introduced to
hi* audience by l*ot Commander Harris,
and at once proceeded to deliver hi* ora
tion. It wa* read from note* and wa* an
eloquent and a well written production.
After a glowing tribute to the deeds and
memory of the dead heroes of the war, il
lustrated by a touching reference to the
soldiers of the American revolution, he
proceeded to the real theme of discourse—
that of Nationality—and was listened to
with much interest.
At the conclusion of the oration the
benediction wa* pronounced by ltov. He
Long, and the various organization re
formed and marched to court house
square whore the column was dismissed.
The grave* of the soldiers who lie in the
Catholic and Friend* cemeteries were vis
ited in the morning and properly decorat
ed by members of the Host detailed for
that duty. The grave of every soldier
lying in the cemeteries of Uellefonte,
therefore, recieved its floral tribute to the
memory of the dead patriot sleeping with
in its narrow bounds.

The committee on floral decorations, G.
A. K , deem it no more than just to say
that they owe to the children o| Bollefontc
whatever success may have attended their
decoration ceremonies. The ladies who
comprised the committee worked the flow
ers into wreaths, cr-ses and bnquets. suf
fered nothing to be lost that would decor
ate and supplied graciously the benefit of
their experience and culture ; but the boys
and girls gathered the fragrant treasures
from the fields and gardens and generously
made them a free gift
We acknowledge gratefully the receipt
of wreaths, crosses, boquet* prepared by i
friends at home. %
Comrade William Jones deserves men- ,
tinn for the preparation of the Court
House for the ceremony in the evening,
but he had ladies U> help, whoae taste sup
plied the decoration* upon the alter.
These acknowledgments being made to
all our benefactors, we now think it proper
that we should say to those children who
expected to take part in the ceremonial at
the cemetery that the threatening rain ne
cessarily curtailed that feature in the ser
vices, via of receiving the flowers and
handing them to the comrades upon the
entry of the latter into the cemetery,
