It seems but a short time since

Chautauqua Festival.
McConnellsburg'sannual Chau
tauqua Festival will be held in
the Auditorium this year on Oc
tober 3, 4, ar:d 5. The festival
will be bigger and better than on
previous years. The price for
season tickets will be $1.25.
Single ticket 35 cents for after
noon admission, and 50 cents for
night sessions.
Patriotism will be a leading
feature. Come and hear "Life
in the Trenches" lecture by
Captain Leslie Vickers of the
Royal Scotch Fusileers. Also
illustrated lectures on the Great
War.
Poor indeed 13 that Pennsylva
nia town that does not now sup
port an annual Chautauqua fes
tival. McConnellsburg is among
the most enthusiastic supporters
of this refined course of hiizh
grade entertainments. After the
professional entertainers have
been paid, no one makalany
money out of the festival in
deed, in some instances, the
guarantors have to go down into
their pockets for money to pay
for what the public enjoyed. The
Chautauqua is a twentieth cen
tury method of education. .
School Interior Rcfinished.
The work of refinishing and
decorating the entire inside of
the McConnellsburg public school
building was completed in time
for the opening of the fall term
last Monday.
The cost was $300, and the
payment of the entire amount
was assumed by the McConnells
burg Dramatic Club. Plays and
entertainments will be given in
the Auditorium this winter to
pay for the work.
The work was done by three
artists sent by the Sherwin
Paint Company. The paint was
furnished at cost by Geo. W.
Reisner and Co. All the interior
woodwork was painted and var
nished and the walls and ceilings
were finished in flat white . tone.
All parts look neat and clean
as a new pin.
The Auditorium, was given
special attention. The old, crack
ed ceiling was removed and new
plastering done. The ' stage
scenery curtains aonaiea oy
Mr. L. W. Seylar last winter
were retouched and they now
present a fine appearance.
First lustaliment of Our Boys Will
Leave McConnellsburg Tomorrow
Afternoon.
In addition to the eighty-three
names published last week in the
News, the local board has since,
certified five additional men to
the District Uoard, subject to
military duty, namely, Lowis
Linn, McConnellsburg; Gilbert
C. Lake, McConnellsburg; Foster
G. Mellott, Need more; Owen An
derson, Clear Ridge, and Clyde
II llann, Warfordsburg.
This makes a total of eighty
seven men selected from 2'JS ex
amined. As was stated last week, five
per cent, of our quota would be
called about the 5th of September.
The uames of the meu compos
ing this five per cent, are James
D. Hoop, Andover; Orlen S.
Mock, McConoellsburg; Fred
Lamoersou, Hustontown, and
L9wkC. Screiver, Lashley. These
meu are ordered to report to the
local board at McUonuellsburgat
3 o'clock this (Thursday, after-
it'
boou. At 3:15 tu morrow a.ft,tr-
mod, they will entrain at Fort
Loudon, and at (J:l.r Saturday
urning they are due to bo at
Camp Lee, Va., where they will
go into training.
The second increment consist
ing of 10 per cent, will be called
to McConnellsburg about thel'Jrti
the dale not being definitely

Of the four men named to leave
this weeir. Mr. James D. Hoop,
of Andover, has seen threeyears'
service in the regular army, and
will get a gopd night's sleep the
first niht he is in Camp.
In con ributing the four men
this week with those soon to
follow, I'uk -i County is partiug
from her ktt sptcimens ol
physical manbo i, and whilo we
regret that conduloDS are such
that this sacrifice must be made,
we are proud of the fact that we
have the material.
Give The Roads Attention.
The postoffice dejiartment has
decided to cut out a large numb
er of rural routes in the next few
months to reduce expenses. In
spectors will go through the
country in the next few months
and examine all roads which the
rural carriers travel and whenever
the condition of the roads is
found bad, routes will be discon
tinued. Roads which show ne
gleet will be more apt to be con
demned than those which have
been put in first class condition.
One careless road supervisor in a
township may be responsible for
the loss of a route.
Desertion Notice.
Notice is hereby given that my
wife Goldie Lake Brant has left
my bed and board withoutjast

persons not to trust her on my
