A supper will bo serv ed in the evening to a party of news paper men from WilMamsport and neighboring counties at the Ameri can House. After supper the Hughesville Publishing Company will take the visitors to their inod ernly equipped printing establish ment which will be opened to the public between the hours of 7.30 and 9.30 to witness the presses in opera tion printing the first issue. Edgar R. Kiees, president of the company, is a weLl trained business man and with the able men he has associated with him the success of the "Inde pendent" is assured. In 1902 this country was the larg est exporter of domestic merchandise |in the world, while in 1870 its ex ports were exceeded.by three other nations, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. In favorable bal ance of trade the United States ex ceeds all the countries of the world combined. Under such conditions the Democratic hue and cry against the protective policy will find little favor. Western women are certainly in genious as well as enterprising. The women members have hit upon a novel plan to raise money for the j support of a rural church in South ern Missouri. They devote to this purpose all the eggs that their hens j lay on Sunday. There is, of course, i no way to prevent the hens from working seven days a week if they want to, but these women do not in- j tend any longer to be particeps erim- ! inis by appropriating to their use ; eggs laid in desecration of the Sab bath. The funeral of Viola Ruth Kopp, the young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Kopp, and grand daughter of Mrs. Viola Tinklepaugh, formerly of this place, occured on Wednesday afternoon at her parents home in Williamsport. The choir of the Messiah Lutheran church assisted at the services, and five little girls sang "Beautilul Isle of Somewhere." The tioral offerings were many and beautiful. The bereaved family have the deepest sympathy of many friends at this place.
