PA. ( {URSDAY JAN! ARY 8. 1914 The services held in the various hurches of Meyersdale in cennection with the Week of Prayer have proven, | thus far, an eminent success. The _eongregations have filled the audi- toriums and there has been a marked interest in the messages which have : en presented. On Monday evening in the Ohristian church Rev. H. L. ~ Goughnour preached on the Kingdom of God. What is it? His treatment was masterly and both instructive in the Lutheran church, Rev. A. E. comprehensive sermon on the King- dom in the Community. Having long been a pastor in ourtown he was well qualified to speak on this subject. The services of this week are de- voted to a discussion of themes which have to do with problems that we are facing today and in our immediate surroundings. Everybody ought to . be interested in the community of which he forms a- part and should concern himself about its problems, religious and moral as well as busi- ness and commercial. It has been gratifying to see the way in which the various denominations are work- ing in co-operation and this is one of the most encouraging signs of the coming of God’s Kingdom. We ‘are anxious that all church members especially andothers if they may be so inclined, may work vigor- ously to make Sunday, January 11th, the calendar day of this year’s reli- filled and overtiowing. This can be done by each person taking some of the cards that* have been liberally provided by the Ministerial Associa- tion, and sending them to any per- sons whom he would like to see in his church next Sabbath. Let us not ‘delay in this matter! Cards may be Take the larger cards and put them ‘your store. ANNUAL MEETING.

Your esteemed contemporary, the Republican, in its last issue, through ‘‘a friend’’, bewails the awful sin and iniquity of our little town of Markel- ton, even emitting some. ‘‘poetry”’ appropriate (?) to the occasion, and wishing fora ‘‘Billy’’ Sunday to clean up the place. Markleton is really a beautiful place, Where sin is neither rampant nor does iniquity flourish, but where some of the would-be ‘‘sanctimonious’’ people would condemn anyone who does not think as they do. I have been a resident of Markelton for some time and I have had ample opportunity to observe the ‘‘doings’’ of the people, and they are noc worse than the average. oun 1 have made many trips with basket and without, and have always return- ed sober. There are, it is true, a few ‘‘booze’’ fighters here, and where are there none? There are also a few “calamity howlers’’ who can always see wrong in everything, and when they see a ‘man with a basket, they shriek, Oh! more booze, and when a lady is out walking with her steay, they hold up their hands in holy horror, and run for cover. Verily; ‘‘to the pure, all things are pure’, ‘and to the knocker, there is wrong in everything. PROHIBITION |, AMENDMENT.

After the morning sermon the pastor ot the congregation invited the hana or the bishop and take the privilege or eontrivuting money for the foreign work. Many came for- ward to shake hands, but the pastor’s little girl was the only one -that gave money, 50 cents. After the services the bishop went home with the pastor for dinner, and the other two children also came and each one put 50 cents into the hand of the missionary. While they were eating dinner the Pastor and his wife related the cir- cumstances how each of the children came to have 50 cents. An uncle bad given each one a chicken and they had made pets of them, playing with them in the warm basement of the house in the winter.. But the time came when they could not have them any longer so they prepared one for dinner, and when they sat down to eat one of their pets the ehil- dren began to cry so pitifully that there was no dinner eaten at their house that day, At the evening ser- vice Bishop Warne told the story of the children with their chickens and he started a ‘‘Chicken Brigade’’ and obtainnd a nice sum for his work. So the Brethren Superintendent started a ‘““Chicken Brigade” on Rally Day to raise money to build a church in South America, and the result was that by Christmas $50.27 was raised by the Sunday school for that purpose.

Stahl, in which they are directed to show cause why they shall not be removed as executors of the estate of the late Henry F. Barron, former cashier of the bank, who suicided by shooting himself on September 11, 1913. The petition was sworn to by Harry L. Sipe, president of the bank, who alleges that the executors are con- cealing moneys belonging to th¢ estate for the purpose of cheating an defrauding creditors, of whom the bank is one. It is further alleged that the executors represent interes s adverse to the estate and its creditors. Elsie Barron is the widow of Henry F. Barron, who’in his will left all his property to her absolutly. President Sipe alleges that before his death Barron fraudently trans- ferred real estate and personal proper- ty, worth several thousand dollars, to his wife and her relatives. Barron deeded a house and lot in Somerset borough to his wife’s mother, Emma Grace Stahl, on November 25, 1911. ‘The house is said to be worth about $5,000. On April 2, 1912, Barron executed a deed of conveyance to his wife for a $6,000 Mausoleum in the Union cemetery. He assigned a $1,000 mortgage to Daniel G. Stahl on March 14, 1913, the day following the time he is allged to have stolen $13,000 from the bank which ousted him as cashier.

Mr. Tedrow was sick only a short time, acute appen- dicitis was the cause of his death. He took sick the day following Christmas and on Saturday evening death came torelieye him of his suf- ferings which were severe, but of a short duration. The" deceased was born at Laurel Hill, nine miles dis- tant from Centreville, August, 7th, 1837, and died December 27th, 1913. being 74 years, 4 months and 20 days of age. Funeral services were conducted at his late residence the Rev. Ira 8S. Monn, officiating and interment was made in the I. O. O. F. cemetery.

Mrs. Margaret Newman, died at the home of her son Elijah Newman on Friday January 2nd, 1913, after a prolonged illness caused by the in- firmities ‘of old age. Mrs. Newman was cheerful to the last, but prayed that the end might come soon to hasten her spirit to the better world, ware, cut glass, etc. The bank claims that Barron was insolvent when he, made all these | transactions, and as he received no money or other valuable consideration! for his property he disposed of it for | the purpose of defrauding his credit- ors. Itisalleged that Barron’sscheme | culminated in his executors filing an | incomplete inventory and appraisment of his estate. Because he was insolvent and re- ceived no money or value for the property he transferred and because he made such transfers for the pur- pose of placing his property beyond the reach of his creditors, the bank claims that such transfers were illegal and void, and that it is the duty of the executors to institute proceedings to recover such property for the benefit of creditors. The Barron estate was sued some time ago for $43,000 in eivil court, alleg ing that he took thatamount from the bank’s vault on March 13, 1913. At the time of his suicide a criminal charge was pending against him in the United States district court at Pittsburgh in which it was alleged by President Sipe that Barron em- bezzled that amount of money from the bank. - CLEANING UP HYNDMAN Hyndman, that staid, sober, dry town is undergoing a ‘‘cleaning up”’ process. A real live policeman is on duty and for a start he swooped down on a poker game in the wee small hours of Sunday morning several weeks ago As he passed Kelly Gaster’s barber shop he heard such remarks as ‘‘ante up there’’ and ‘‘ace high’’ and ‘‘gim- me two’’ and he observed through a crack in the door a poker game in full blast. He summoned Constable Bowser and what they did to that poker game is awful to relate. Several well known characters were haled before the bar of justice and fined $10 and costs.
