Frank Hess Promoted by Act of Congress. Honor to Fulton County. The many frieuds of Frank W. Hess, a native of Ayr township, this county, will bo pleased to learn that he has recently been promoted to the rank of Lieuten ant colonel in the U. S. army, as the following clipping from the Carroll County Democrat of Juno 3, published at Huntingdon, Ten nessee, will show. "Military Instructor Frank W. Hess, of the Southern Normal University, who was recently promoted by act of congress from major to the rank of lieutenant colonel, U. S. A., has received his commission duly signed by Pres ident Roosevelt and was sworn in by Squire E. Falkner last Satur day night. Col. Hess has made many friends during his stay in Huntingdon, who rejoice with him in the honor thus conferred by the government. The colonel is an educated cultured gentle man and wears his honors with modesty and yet with becoming dignity." Immediately after Fort Sum ter was attacked, Mr. Hess, theu a mere boy, fired with a spirit of patriotism, went to Center county and recruited a Company at Bellefonte, which was mustered into service with him as Captain, April 20, 1801, and was known as Company l.,15th regiment of Pa. Vols. At the expiration of ser vice with this company, he re enlisted,' and was mustered in as 1st heuteuant, Company I, 00th Regiment, Pa. Vols., ou the 24th of November, 1861. He was pro moted to captain of Company M, COth Regiment, on the 8th of July, 1802, and to Major of Battalion, October L'lst, 1804, and was must ered out with his regiment, Aug ust 7th, 1805. LieutenantColonel Hess joined the regular army two years after the Civil War, enter ing as second lieutenant, and successively promoted to first lieutenant, and then to captain. He was placed on the retired list about two years ago and is now Military instructor in the South ern Normal University at Hunt ingdon, Tennessee. Since putting the above in typo we learn from the Tennessee Re publican that among the gradu ates who received diplomas in the scientific department ot the Uni versity a few days ago was Frauk H. Hess son of Col. Frank W. Hess, and upon the father was conferred the honorary degree of LL. D. So, you see, it is not only Colonel Frank W. Hess but Doctor, as well. ' NEW GRENADA.

Returned to Owner Before It had Been Missed. After having made some pur chases in Stouteagle Bros', store in this place last Wednesday af ternoon, Miss Rebecca Pott drop ped her purse and it rolled slight ly under the counter which rests on legs like a table. After she had boon away from the store a bout two hours, John noticed it, picked it up and found a card in it which enabled him to restore it to the owner in a few minutes. when it was returned to her, Miss Rebecca had not missed it; and as it contained three ten dollar bills and a five, she became nervous over the realization of what a nar row escape she had made of los ing it. For the benefit of strangers, who might get the impression that there is nothin' dom' in a store where a purse may lie on the floor two hours without at tracting attention, we wish to say that our people are honest, and seeing it lying under the counter thought the cash drawer was full, and that the surplus money was being deposited there until time could be had to take it to the bank. Resolutions of Respect. At a regular meeting of Water fall Lodge. No. 773 I. O. O. F. held in the Hall nt New Grenada, Pa., the following preamble and reso lutions were adopted.

That, While we deeply deplore our loss; and his departure will create a vacancy in our ranks and hearts, we believe that they who lived noble lives, that their char acters and teachings will abide as iullueuce to others.

That, We as officers and mem bers of our Lodge extend our heartfelt sympathies to the be reaved family to the wife of his youth, and the children who need his counsel in life, commending them to God for condolence in this their hour of grief.

Paper Money So Well Executed as Al must to Baffle Experts. Knowing that many of our read ers, like ourselves, do not have money to burn, and feeling that it is our duty to take caro of the interests of our people as far us we can, wo hasten to sound a note of warning against a dangerous counterfeit bill that is said to he in existence. Just now when we are waiting with breathless in terest to see on whose shoulder Is Durham will place the senator ial toa, it is too provoking that we should be compelled to scru tinize tho money that we may handle. It is not only bad that some fellow should put a counter feit bill on us, but we stand a chance of getting into the peni tentiary if we use one in an ordi nary business transaction, or one is found in our possession even though wo may be entirely ignor ant of the lact that it v spurious. The bill in question is said to be well executed, and not easily detected; but it is well enough to keep an eye on your change, and then if you get caught, it will not bo entirely your owu fault. We almost forgot to toll you that the counterfeit is a iiundkkd dollar bill of tho issue 1!)00. HUST0NT0WN.
