J. A. Stewart, of Green Hill,
reported on last Monday that he

W. M. Hann had the misfor
tune last Thursday evening to
mash ( ne of his fingers badly.
He was dri i; shingles on the
roof of John H. Wible's house,
and made a ''miss," and "hit"
his finger with the hatchet. 0,
no, it didn't hurt much! Have
you pounded the end of your
finger with a hammer?

Police force, stationed at Butler,
Pa., spent a few days during the

The Orbisonia Dispatch says
that Philip Locke, of Locke's Val
ley, near Shade Gap, is perhaps
the oldest person in Huntingdon
county. His birthday comes in
the middle of July and should he
live until that time he will be
ninety-eight years old. He was
born and spent his life in the
same little valley and perhaps on
the same farm. He is the father
of Nahum Locke, a distinguished
veteran of the Civil War, whore
sides on the old farm and tender
ly cares for his old father. Mr.
Locke has been a farmer all his
life, and a good substantial citi
zen. Our representative, Hon. Geo.
B. Mellott, voted for local option
when the question came up in the
House last Wednesday, as did
every other Representative in
this Congressional district.
George, and also one Martin
Brumbaugh, formerly of Hunt
ingdon county, both think that if
this is a government of the people,
for the people, and by the people,
there is no inconsistency in al
lowing the people to decide
whether or not they want intoxi
cating liquors sold to their boys,
notwithstanding the liquor
seller pays a smart license for
the privilege.
Last Thursday morning Carl 0.
Grissinger, an important factor
in the Shapiro store at Broadtop
City, and his brothers Cloyd A.,
and James E., who are in the
moving picture business at the
same place, came down t New
Grenada in their Overland, and
there picked up their brother
Harry A., and their father James
L., and came into McConnells
burg and took dinner at the Ful
ton House. "Jimmie" as the
father is familiarly known, is by
no means a light weight, and the
boys which by combining the
initials, he call "Cog," "Cag."
"Jeg," and "Hag" are chips out
of the old block as far as avoir
dupois is concerned, for the five
men made a load of over i)00
pounds for the sturdy Overland.

Nothing adds more to the refinements of home than
good music. To have good music you must have a good
instrument. There are good bad and indifferent instru
ments, and to the unskilled eye they look much alike.
Theunprincipled dealer is likely to make you pay a
first-class price for a fourth-class instrument. I have
lived in this county since my birth, I am a taxpayer and
in a position to make good any business transactions.
Buy your piano, organ, or victrola from me and if it is
not all right you can come back at me.
There are families in every part of this county that
have purchased instruments from me. Ask them about
me.
Perhaps you want to trade your organ for a Piano,
or Player Piano; or your Plain Piano, for a Player. See
me. Let's talk it over.
