entertained by the MuMcal Club of Tio

carried out, and so delighted tbe audience
that about every performer was obliged
to respond to an encore. In a brief ad
dress Mrs. Sliarpe, tbe President, gave an
outline oftbeorigin of the Club, its aim
and purpose. This waa followed by tbe
Polish Dauce, an Instrumental duet by
Mrs. Sherill Smith and Miss June Her
man which received very liberal applause
as did also Tbe Club's rendering of the
"Voice or the Western Wind." Miss
Edith Hopkins' rendition of Ballade,

tbe other instrumental selections, Adagio,
Haydn, by Mrs. James D, Davis, and
Polanaise, opus 11, Moszkowskl, by Miss
Olive Lanson, each of which drew forth
generous applause Irom tbe assemblage.
Two solos by Prof. Gill were well re
ceived, and In each case be was abliged to
respond to eucores. Miss Lennre Ritchey
was recalled after very beautifully ren
dering "Love, The Pedlar," in a solo of
unusual sweetness. "Love's Old Sweet
Song," a quartet by Mrs. Smith, Mrs.
Cora Felt, and Misses Elva Lanson aud
Lenore Rltcbey was a feature of tbe pret

As hostess of the evening Mrs. Proper

feasted.

beir which they bad ahot earlier In tbe

be It known that bear hunters who kill
their game are few and far between. The
bear was a beauty, having a thick black
coat and weighing over 200 pounds. Tbe
boys, for they are hardly of age, told the
store of their capture of the bear. They
were crossiug a clearing where the brush
was very thick, when suddenly theirdogs
began to show by their nervous manner
that they scented big game and were not
very anxious to advance. They were
urged along and at last it was found that
tbe game, whatever It was, was in a thick
dump of slashings. Tbe dogs grew
bolder and finally they wont close to the
brush. Then came a crashing among the
branches and the bear, looking as big as
a freight car, came charging out. He
stopped for a moment to lake in tbe sit
uation and was dispatched by two well
directed shots. Tbe boys took tbe. .bear

M'fRAV.
From a recent issue of a paper pub
lished at Magolia, Mississippi, we gather
the following account of the death of a
former well known citizen of Tionesta
and Forest county:
"Charles E. Mo Cray was born in Tio
nesta, Pa., on the twenty-seventh day of
December, 181(1. He was a boy lu his
teens when tbe Civil War broke out, but
volunteered lu a Pennsylvania regiment
and served bis country during that mem
orable struggle. After the war he re
turned to bis native stale and iu 1875 was
united In matrimony to Miss Margaret
Ellzkbeth Darr. To this union were born
four children, three of whom survive
him, Mr. E. C. McCray, of Meridian,
Texas; Mra. J. F. Lenoir, of Lumperton
and Miss Florence McCray of this city,
Tbe summons from the Master came
suddenly to tbe deceased, Mouday, Nov,
23, at Griffin, Ark., and be was brought
to this eity and" laid to rest Thursday,
Nov, 7,i Mi, MeOray came South with
bis family about twenty years ago and
held many responsible positions, being
connected with Capt. J. J. White fur a
number of years. He numbered among
his warmest friends many confederate
veterans. He was a man of excellent
habits, fine moral character and sturdy
constitution, and be continued to be act
ive In his accustomed pursuits to long
past tbe age of which men ordinarily
drop out of the ranks of the workers.
Although Mr. McCray was a member of
no chiiMaw be exemplified, by his pure
and honorable life, tbe teachings of the
golden rule, and unfailingly evinced a
practical piety tbat will long be remem
bered as the best of professions. He be
lieved In the fatherhood of God and Ihe
brotherhood of man. He believed tlmt
the man who scatters flowers in the path
way of (lis fellowmen, who lets Into the
dark' places of life the sunshine of human
sympathy iDd'buman happiness, Is fol
lowing in the footsteps of bis Master."
