\ id September 1, 1038. <p % Ye PE dE » ry HN Kh BA | Echoes From the Past FIFTY YEARS AGO The large bain of Sober & Co. | of Gordon Helghts, was totally de- stroyed by fire Saturday morning. One carload of hay and grain, a lot of harness and tools were burned. Eighteen head of stock were saved. This would be a good time for the re-organization Trade. Business at this season of the year is dull and business men could not plead “want With the board organized efforts could be made to induce manufac- | turing establishments to jocate here. Into the race. A young man by the name of Kurtz was boarding the Snow Shoe train from the east last) night from the east side of the track, A lot of boys were getting on the opposite side. The train hands frightened the boys off and one jumped and struck young Kurtz In the breast, knocking him into the] race. On the arrival of the 8:55 train on Saturday night a drummer jumped off the train on the race side, walked into the race and floundered in the water until someone helped him out. This is the second time similar ac- cidents have occurred. Dr. Deshler, of Aaronsburg, was the first victim. The allroad company should have a fence along the race as far as iis passenger cars run, and lights burn- ing on that side. John Melish, a Hungarian em- ploved at the Valentine furnace near town, while sleeping Sunday had his pocket picked of over two hundred dollars, which he had saved out of five years’ earnings. John blames a tramp Hungarian who had been about the boarding house for sev- eral days and who mysteriously dis. appeared Monday. John is in a state of mind pitiful to see. Al day | Monday he bemoaned his loss, cry- ing as though all his friends had died. The report of the Grand Jury will be read with interest by the Board of Commissioners. If they do not remove the closet in the rear of the Court House they will be indicted for maintaining a nuisance. Quite a number of Grand Juries have re- commended repairs in and about the Court House, but the Commissioners have failed to take note of the re- ports. It Is altogether likely that they will hearken to the gentle ad- monition or be brought up before the court. A very happy wedding took place at the residence of Mr. William Roush, of Howard, last Wednesday, the contracting parties being Mr Wilbur Bickle and Miss Rebecca Lyons, of Howard. Mr. George Robb and Miss Jennie Holter were the at- tendants. The ceremony was per- formed by Rev. King. Both pasties are well and favorably known in Howard, Mr. Bickle being a school teacher by profession. He is a good teacher, sober and industrious, and is universally esteemed. Yesterday afternoon a party of our | boys and girls made a trip to the top of the mountain upon a load of straw. They obtained a wagon upon which there were ladders filled with straw, and found the conveyance a most comfortable one. Those who participated in the ride were: Misses Lida Harris, Lula Harper, Bessie Muffley, Miss Weaver, Jennie Pon- tius, Nellle Kline, Lilly Aikens, and Messrs.
