Teachers, director's and friends of

attend the institute; but espebiallj'
the teachers of the Bbhools of Sulli
fan county. A special effort has
iiben made to make the coming ih
stitute a good one. The lecttirers
ithd instructors are men of much
rtfeHt, and will make our programme
both for day and evening sessions,
strong and interesting. It will be a
delightful pleasure to attend,
j Strange that with the liberal pro
visions made by law, and with all
I the ufging and pleading that can be
' ddile, still here artd there a teacher
with some triviri.l excuse Will be
absent. "Don't dare to go;'' "No
way to get there," "Want to visit,"
"Can't afford it,"and the like are
held dut as excuses.
Teaßhcrs, this is not progressive
grourid to stand on, and reflects on
your enthusiasm. Your expenses
arc pitid, your prdfessional obliga
tions require you td attend.
Cdme, I expect a full attendance
and a godd meeting; and trust that
no teacher will be absent With an
exciisc siifficient to keep him away
froni his school.

CIIAS. TINKLEPAUOH, Prop.
Dr- Parry W. King. I
Dr. Perry W. T "'' o v.ut, bom hi
LaPorte township Sullivrln county.
Pa., on the 22d day of January
1853. He attended the public
schools of his district until nearly
twenty years of age, acquiring a
good couifnon school education, and
was always a bright active scholar,
ready and quick to learn, and tt
universal favorite with teachers and
mates. When he was about twenty
jcart of dge he began attending the
Teacher'!* Institutes Of the county and
preparing himself fdt teaching.
For several years he taught dis
trict schools. Teaching in Sullivan,
Lycoming and Tiogft counties, in
Order to obtain the means tb carry
him thrdhgh the State Normal
School at Mansfield Pa.; as he al
ways manifested a gfeat db'sire to
obtain a good education. When
the sehfldi room becftmc tob' tiresofric
and conflhing to his fictive energetic
disposition, he took an agency for &
book, traveling for some time in
Canada along with M. W. Stephens
Esq. This enabled him to procure
the means he so loHg desired, and
he attended the Statd Nor rithl School
at Manstield Pa., for gome time, at
which place he was always a stud ;
ious painstaking scholar, and where'
he enjoyed the respect and esteem of
his preceptors and classmates.
While traveling in Canada he was
attacked with diptheria, with which
he wart very sick for some time, at a
hotel in Canada, and which left his
constitution greatly underminded.
Upon the completion of his studies
at Mansfield he entered the office of
; Attorney Dunham, intending to
■ enter the legal profession. But soon
] found out that the profession was
j not sufficiently ttfctl¥e, for his dis-
I position, and he then began the
' study of medicine, graduating at
the University bf Maryland at Balti
; more in 188-t. Immediately after
| graduating he entered into
j partnership, With Dr. Swisher at
1 Jersey town, but remained there
! only a short time, moving to Hills-
Grove this cdurity Where he bought
112 out Dr. L. R. Lantz. 110 fc'ctatinued
he practice of medicine at Hills-
Grove, except for a short time, when
he was located !tt Unityville Ly
' coming county, lihtil a very short
time before his death, when he come
home to his parents where he died
on Friday December 6th 1889.
Dr. King was a courteous, kirtd
and agreeable gentleman, who gained
' friends where ever he went and was
! respebted by all with whom he came
;in contact. As a physician he was
successful, and acquired a large and
lucrative practice, without boasting
of his success, or endeavoring td
depreciate the worth of others, as
too many of that profession often
do.
I lie was a dutiful and faithful
| son, and his teftpected and aged
! parents have the heart felt sympathy
of all who knew them. During a
long and painful illness in which
that dreaded disease, consumption,
slowly but sUrfcly consumed his I
mortal frame) he was pleasant, 1
cheerful kindj and considerate to
all. He died among, and surround* j
ed by loving friends ever ready and
anxioifs to sdothe and assuage every
pain tllat it Was possible for mortals
to do. And all that could be done
was performed with loving kindness
by those wliti were willing to do
anything artd everything for one
they loved.
