One of the features of Lottie
Blair Parker's Under Southern
Skies will be the rendition, by a
sextette of trained voices, of the
old plantation melodies that were
famous a generation ago and which
today are as popular as ever, judg
ing from the heartiness ol the ap-
plause which they evoke.
A new fence, beginning at the
east end of the Packer avenue
bridge and extending along . the
bank to the ice house is being
erected by the Lehigh Valley rail-
road company. Recently a new
high board fence was erected from
the ice house to the Lockhart
street bridge and the improvement
is quite noticeable
On April 4th an Aerie of Eagles
will be instituted at Towanda. The
work of installing will be done
by Jesse Hedrick, state deputy
grand president, and M. J. Farrell,
past worthy president of the
Sayre Aerie, who has been
appointed an assistant. The mem-
bers of the Sayre Aerie have been
invited to be present,

Athens
Charles Ross, a resident of East
Packer avenue is under arrest be-
fore Justice H. F. Johnson of
Athens on two charges, one of
them assault and the other for hav-
ing unlawful possession of certain
goods, which are alleged to be the
property of Ross’ mother in law,
Mrs, Lorina Baker. Mrs. Baker
has had troubles galore since her
coming to Sayre last summer, and
to faithfully recite them would oc~
cupy more space than the ordinary
newspaper cares to devote for the
purpose.
Early in January Mis Raker,
who resided with her son in law
Ross, became a county charge, an
order of relief having been granted
her by the authorities of Sayre.
When the commissioners came to
take charge of the case they found
that she was a charge on Wyoming
county and after considerable
trouble and expense had her re-
turned to that county. She was
taken to Tunkhannock, but a short
time ago returned to Sayre. Cer-
tain goods which she claimed
were hers had been left at the home
of her son in law and she demand.
ed them. The son in law refused,
it is alleged-to give them up on
the grounds that his mother in law
owed him for her care and board.
Now Mrs. Baker says that her son
in law in addition to wrongfully,
maliciously and feloniously hold-
ing her goods has also assaulted
her, and upon making the proper
information Justice Johnson issued
awarrant for Ross’ arrest. He
has pleaded not guilty - and the
hearing will be held some time
next week.
Mrs. Biker, the complainant in
the case, is a character and by
those who have come in contact
with her since her residence in
Sayre is ‘not beleived to be men-
tally sound.
BAPTIST CHURCH REPAIRS
Since the first of January the
Baptist church and parsonage at
this place have been undergoing
alterations and repairs. The par
sonage has been newly papered
throughout, the wood work has
been vamiished, an] necessary res
pairs to the plumbing, etc, have
been attended to.
The church edifice has also been
given attention. The interior has
been appropriately decorated, the
scats have been painted, and a new
carpet which is expected today,
will be placed on the floor. Itis
possible that the church will be in
readiness for services next Sunday,
thought it is as yet a matter of un-
cerfainity.
A CORRECTION
It appears that The Record was
a little mixed yesterday in its ans
nouncement of the event which
occurred in Trainmen's hall on
Tuesday evening. The Record
stated that the supper and dance
was given by the Ladies’ Society
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Eagincers, when it should have.
said that the event was given under
the auspices of the Ladies’ Society |
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen. There are so many of
these organizations in Sayre with
the auxiliary attachment that a
newspaper man needs an indexed
chart in order to keep
straight.
WHERE IS IT?
The Gazette and Bulletin of Wil«
liamsport is booming the Hon,
Elias Deemer for Governor, and
this suggests the pertinent inquiry
What has become of the diminutive
boom for the Hon. Mial E Lilley,
congressman from this district ?

BE 1S A FRAUD
The latest fraud is working
postmaster and rural carriers.
The. shark pretends to be selling
what he calls -a “congressional
mi nual” [It costs $2.50 and con-
tains something that postmasters
ought to know. The profits, says
the shark, are to be donated to
the National University Fund He
always tells the victim that the
congressman from the district sent
him. Congressman Lilley has
denounced the scheme as a fraud.

event of any of the members wish
ing to revive it at a future time the
same could be done with little
difficulty. It was suggested that a
small room be rented and the sem
blance of a club maintained so
that the provisions of the charter
might be fulfilled, but after a
lengthy discussion it was decided
to settle up matters and wipe the
club out of existence. After all
debts and expenses were paid it
was found that the club had nearly
$200 in its treasury, and this sum
will be equally divided between the

The disbandment of the club is

constituted the majority, were of
