"The independent" a newly es
tablished weekly newspaper at
Haghesville,Lycoming,Co. will make
ts initial bow to the public to-day
Thursday.) 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.
Owing to the inclement weather
the public sale advertised to be held
April 14, ou the premises of Mrs.
Samuel Bryan, in Forks township,
has been postponed to Tuesday, Apr.
21. In case of unfavorable weather
the sale will be postponed until the
