Hillsgrove.
Saturday everting our town was the
scene of a very pleasant and interesting
event, it being tlie first anniversity of the
Instiiuiion of W C No. 639 P. O. S. of A.
At 7 o'clock the Lodge formed in the
rostrum of the Christian church which
h id been previously decoratid with bunt
ing aml Hugs. After music by the chior
and a few words of congratulation by J.
A. Gibbs Elder J. L. Pheonix of Troy was
introduced, Rev Pheonix took for a sub
ject the Platform of Principles of the P.O.
S. of A. Ilis address was listened to with
eager interest by all present and the re
pented applause proved (lie spirit in which
it Wi e received, after the ceretnnoies at
the church the Order and their many
friends repared to the Hillsgrove House
where a banquet was served. The Menu
was of (lie usual order and was served in
i lie pleasant corteous manner (hat is char
acteristic of the popular hostelry. At
ihe tables the guests did'nt do a thing
Jiut eat) Judging from the manner in
which the oysters were' ' *y were
mistaken for haughty J among
ihe chickei.s we noticed, roosters just
leaning to crow and virgin pullets oflong
ago and one old rooster huge and tierce,
thai was born in the days of peace.
Every body ate ull they wanted except
some young men viz. il. W. Darby, O. .S
Speaker, Francis Triichler, and J. A
>lorga:t, Joe evidently wains to be an j
Angel as he has a great capacity for wings.
Ai i.late ..our the guests returned to theii
Humes feeling that il was good for tliem
to be there.
Election is over and evere body is com
plaining ol the lack of snow, except our
Democratic friends. We are safe in pre- ■
dieting a much heavier fall in November.
The popular independent candidate,
Frank J. .Stuykhii d for the office of over
seer of poor is much improved in health
by ihe stthy breezes of ihe voyage up that
mysterious river. He met many Demo
crats from every town in Pennsylvania.
Dud Helen Theresa Lorah, aged -
years and IS .lays .daughter of A. A. and
Sulla i.oralt hurried on Sunday February '
20ih, the P. 0. S. of A. ol which Mr.
Lorah was a member attended the funeral
as a token of respect.

serves great credit fur the able manner in
which each one preformed their part and
to special mention any one would be doing

'•lt affords the Advisory Board ol the

marked educational opportunities that

in tii is county will receive great- advance
meut and lusting benefit from the insptr
ing influences and progressive educational
sentiment created by a s rongand efficient
normal school in our midst.
Many improvements are to be made in
ihe School and a circular setting forth t s
